Funnily enough, the US spends far more onUN "missions" than the total
of our UN dues. Yet we are not repaid for these expences... I say, pay up the
back dues, start charging full rent for UN facilities in the US, and either
start billing the UN for the bullsh!t "missions" they keep sending US troops
to, or (prefereably) pull out of the UN.

I am trying to network a Win95 machine to Linux. I cannot get it to work.
This is not a hardware problem because the Win95 machine has Linux on it and I
can network linux to linux. I believe I followed all the instructions in the
Slackware Network book.
I did not set up ip masquerading. Is this required?

Hedo everyone,
I am having trouble using a generic ISA NE2K clone card in a 486 machine w/
Red hat 6.0.
I know the IRQ and Base I/O addy, but that does not seem to be enough info
for Linux to communicate w/ the card.
Does anyone know of any 'extra settings' that I might need to input to get
this baby working?
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You know what should be removed from the addy to make it work.
Thanks much,
Tony

(To original poster) In general a "proxy server" can be as simple
as a web proxy, like the one you can get from
http://www.junkbusters.com - for instance.
The way a typical web proxy server works, your web browser (lynx,
netscape...) must be told that your are using a proxy server, and
what its address and port number are.
Proxy servers for other protocols exist, I believe, but I'm not
familiar with them.
Then there is SOCKS, which is a similar concept carried to almost
any protocol, but again, your client (like telnet, ftp, rsh,
whatever) must be "SOCKS-aware" to be able to use it.
When you use IP Masq, the outside world thinks all requests are
coming from the gateway machine itself. So even if you have 255
machines inside your network using IP addresses from the private
IP block, the outside world doesn't see any of them. The
advantage is that, as long as the routing is setup correctly, your
"clients" need not be any different - they actually think they're
talking directly to the outside host, and in a way, they are. A
bigger advantage is that you need only 1 "real" IP address for a
whole bunch of people.
NAT, I believe, is similar, except that there is a 1-to-1
correspondence between IP addresses on the inside and those seen
by the outside world. So you need more "real" IP addresses. I
don't know more than that.
Hope this helps.

I thought the file that controlled login access was /etc/securetty.

But this is just a general recollection--you'd have to look up

Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 14:01:30 -0900
Hi, I am running a server and I would like to be able to receive all the
emails that get sent to my domain. So I want all the junk email
addresses to go to one place. How do I do that. Sendmail first of all
checks the aliases file and then if the address isn't there it checks
the users for a match, right? So I guess I couldn't put a star in the
aliases file to match everything, because the users haven't been checked
yet? So any ideas?
Thanks, Daniel Stolk

Using a ISDN TA, via a com port is no diffrent than using a normal modem,
except that you should use ATDI insted of ATDT, in your script.
If you can't get it working, drop me a mail, and I will send you a copy of

I am assuming that you are going to install it on your Win box. No
problem, but domain authentication may mess with you. You may want to look
at having you Linux box dial in instead and running some type of NAT to your
Win box. You will connect as needed, and have both on the network. This is
more challenging, and may upset your security guy.
Either way, you only issue with the Win box is "to domain authenticate"
or "not to domain authenticate." You can not do it off two domains, so if
you are spoofing a domain on Linux, you may have issues.

Subject: Problems connecting localhost with IP Masquerade.
Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 22:01:41 GMT
Hi,
My currect setup: Linux box with two NICS, external device with real
IP of web server, internal address with fake private address.
Port forward external address port 80 to internal fake 192.168.1.1
port 80.
All masquerade setup correct and working fine, only one annoying
problem:
Everytime when internal clients make a connection to www.myserver,com,
it won't go through, becuase the DNS returns the external address of
the linux box. Somehow the linux box does not like that. What I did
is add 192.168.1.1 www.myserver.com in the host file of all internal
PC clients. So that it will bypass DNS query. But unfortunately,
that does not work for a Win98 client, Win98 will query DNS first and
ignore host file.
Any suggestion?

Not really. Proxy servers defeat this method of counting users -
you'd count fewer than there really were.

Enable the "status" module and look at http://yourhost/status -
will give you exactly what you need. There may be other, non-HTTP
based methods or APIs to read what Apache calls the "scoreboard",
I think. Look around on apache.org or apacheweek.com
Worst case you can write a small perl script to grab that info for
you by using LWP or LWP::Simple!

I was trying the same thing with a 3com ISDN external modem and had only
linited
sucess and then only at 115200. The card I had gotten was a Dolphin two
port ISA
card. It had two 16650 UARTS with 32 byte FIFOs vs the 16550's 16 byte
FIFOs.
The card was totally jumper configured for comport interrupt and speed.
I used a DOS terminal program to set the modem to 230400 and then ran MPSDR
mini router, but never got it to work. I did get it to work intermittently
with this card
at 115200. Later I swapped out the card for a USR dual port serial card and
it works
just fine at 115200.
Maybe Linux does not properly support the 16650 or 16750 UARTs. I will be
watching
this thread to see if anyone else has had any sucess with the HS serial
cards.

Date: 14 Jul 1999 23:28:00 GMT
I think I have it figured out. My ISP's policy for home
DSL is that you cannot host a web page. My guess is that
the gateway I'm connected to is somehow configured to
disallow incoming packets if my machine has not sent out
anything in the last 5 or 10 minutes. This would inhibit web
site hosting and any other server function, but still allow
client functioning. Can gateways be set up this way?
Anyway, this hypothesis explains what I've observed, and
if anyone is interested in the details, feel free to email me.

Subject: RH6.0-client forget nis-password, when gnome-screen locks
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 02:02:48 +0200
hello,
there's a password problem with gnome and nis.
On the nis-client, I use the graphical login. Gnome appears, my
homedir's are mounted and everything is fine....
as soon as my screen locks (screensaver) my nis-password is rejected.
the screensaver just return the message: "Sorry!" and the only way to
get further is to kill the X-Server
with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and start a new login with the same
nis-password.
strange........
can somebody tell me how to repair this bug?
thanks

I'm going to have a DSL install at my home soon, and was wondering what
people had for recomendations on how to set up a firewall/router on a
Linux PC. I'll have a Cisco 675 ADSL bridge/router, and a 486/dx2-66
with 16Mb of ram and two NICs. What I was thinking of doing was perhaps
setting the Cisco to bridge only mode, and using the Linux PC to do all
of my routing. I'd like to have several Microsoft Windows machines
inside of the network, as well as two sun boxes. I'd like to have some
kind of security on my router either using packet filtering rules, or
NAT. I would also like to be able to have HTTPD/FTPD running on my sun
boxes, but still have them behind the router/firewall. Any suggestions
on a better way to do this, or pointers on what to read to get my RH6
machine configured properly to do this? Thanks,
Greg

The DFE-500TX is based on the DEC Tulip chipset, but the DFE-530TX
specified by the original poster [I'm assuming that's it, since I've
never heard of the DEF-530TX] is based on the VIA Rhine chipset. They're
different cards. AFAIK, the DFE-500TX has been discontinued.
