the only bad experiance i've had with the linksys is that when you install
them you need to have nothing else in the machine just the video!!! or you
may not reconize the card but as soon as you boot up once your fine!!! put
all the cards back!!

Subject: Fetchmail hangs on mail from AOL
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 10:57:35 +0000
When I attempt to fetchmail either of my two pops (using POP3)
and if the sender is using AOL or Earthlink, fetchmail hangs.
If not AOL or Earthlink, fetchmail works just fine.
When I get mail from AOL/Earthlink, I often have to go to
a Win95 box and collect the mail. Then I send it back to
myself and then I can fetch it from Linux.
I have tried both Fetchmail 4.5.8 (RH 5.2) and 5.0.0 (RH 6.0).
I installed RH 5.2 last December. At that time, no problem.
The problem started circa April 1999 with AOL and last week
with Earthlink (I don't get much mail from Earthlink so it
might have been a problem for months and I didn't know it).
I would add that RH 6.0 is a fresh load (to a different partition).
So, if I screwed anything up in 5.2, it shouldn't have carried
over to 6.0.
I did send e-mail to AOL asking if they had any ideas. They
wrote back saying that they couldn't think of anything and
that they were puzzled.
I'm puzzled too.
Any suggestions?

G'day Ralf,
Try NewsCache at http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/NewsCache/ I came
across it the other day and implemented it on a server today, so far
it seems to be working ok. I'm running it in inetd mode, while the
default is a standalone server. If you have any questions let me
know...the install is pretty straight forward.

Hi John,
My crappy solution is pretty much the same as the one that "haze" came up
with. I basically setup a crontab to do the pings (I found that telnetting
to a dummy port worked better). My problem was also a little more
complicated since I had IP Aliasing turned on. Basically, I wrote a little
script that cycled through the interfaces and pinged (or telneted) out while
that interface was the primary one. I then crontab'ed it to run every 10
minutes (after some trial and error, I found that it seems to time out every
15-20 minutes). It works okay but it's a pretty crappy solution so if
anyone out there has any better ideas, I'd love it if you dropped us a line
(or posted it on here). I'm including my script below if you need it
(although just crontab'ing a ping -c 3 should work perfectly if you don't
have aliasing (see first crontab entry)).
Good luck (to us all! :),
Rick.
=======================================================
Script:
=======================================================
#!/bin/sh
###
# Add to root's crontab; execute every 10 or 15 minutes; cycles IPs
# This script basically remaps the 2 public IP's; pings from each;
# and then maps them back to their original.
###
### Put .10 on eth0:0 and .8 on eth0
### Note: I'm skipping the route setting since we'll be cycling
### it back to the preset default
# Hose the old IPs now
echo "Hosing old IP Aliases now..."
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
# Do switch now
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 209.178.112.8
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 209.178.112.10
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.5
# Setting of routes would go here (see reconfig)
echo "Setting the new IP routes ..."
### Need to keep this for switch so we can ping out!
/sbin/route add default gw 209.178.112.1
# Do ping yahoo.com
#ping -c 1 -q www.yahoo.com
telnet www.ibm.com 110
### Now cycle back to original:
# Hose the new IPs now
echo "Hosing NEW IP Aliases now..."
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
# Do switch now
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 209.178.112.10
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 209.178.112.8
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.5
# Setting of routes would go here (see reconfig)
echo "Setting the original IP routes ..."
#/sbin/route add default gw 209.178.112.1
# Do ping

:) Yup... I'm still trying to figure out exactly what kind of crack that
guy was smoking. Seriously, though, this was one I would've loved to have

The DE220 runs fine under Linux and is NE2000 compatible
Put it in a DOS machine
Run the setup utility that came with the card
Turn of Plug and Play
Give it an address ox 0x300, and IRQ 10 ( assuming these are not in
use by anything else, of course ).
Make sure your Linux kernel has ethernet support for this card !
Hooray ! Now it will work

Get 2 packages: isdn and isdn4linux. Check ftp.franken.de or

Read the howto's and docs on the subject.

After checking out lots of docu and faqs I have to post this question:
On a server I make nfs export of a directory with
/test 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 (ro)
Clients which have an entry in the DNS can mount this directory, but
DHCP clients which are not regiestered in DNS do get a permission
denied.
Is there a way to set the server to allow these unregistered clients to
mount
on the server???

Hi Mihai,
If the aliasing doesn't work at work or if it times out on you after a
little while (like it does for me), you might want to look at my "crappy
fix", which I just posted here under the "Re: Machine disappears till ping?"
thread. I'm really leaning towards the problem being the tulip driver (I
don't think you mentioned if you use the tulip driver but it's the one for
my LinkSys Etherfast 10/100 and other DEC based NICs) and even using the
latest version from LinkSys' homepage didn't help.
Best of luck,
Rick.

I should mention the version (ypserv - NYS YP Server version 1.3.6.91
(with tcp wrapper) and that I use the --dns option.

Subject: No entry for user in PAP-SECRETS???
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 14:08:46 +0200
This is an interesting one. Configured my system for dialup using ISDN.
I configured 2 routes: 10.0.0.0/8 to my company, and default to my ISP.
pap and chap-secrets are the same and work OK. (My company uses M$-chap,
ISP accepts PAP).
Last weekend I decided to play with MPPP since it is supported by my
company. So I added "addslave" to the ipppd configuration file and
defined an new device. ippp0 has route 10.0.0.0/8, ippp1 is slave for
ippp0, and ippp2 has route default. It worked: when ftp-ing to my
company, the system switches to dual channel after the configured time.
I was also able to connect to my ISP. (Not at the same time of course,
since there are only 2 channels...)
I adjusted all files to represent the manually added changes, and
rebooted. Connecting to my company still works. But in /var/log/messages
I see a message "Warning: no entry for user in PAP-secrets", and
connecting to my ISP gives the message "Access denied" in the log. If I
modify /etc/isdn/isdn.conf and comment out the definition for slave
channel ippp1, it works again (ippp0 for 10.0.0.0/8, ippp2 for default).
Nothing changed on the PAP-secrets though!!! Has anyone seen this
before? Maybe it isn't possible to assign 3 channels to ISDN? Help!

I think you have enabled DNS lookups for hosts which does not exist
in the NIS hosts map. This is only needed for old SunOS 4.x clients.
If you don't have such clients, disable it.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.

You should mount /dev/pts, which is normaly the default after the installation.
