Why oh why do people insist on sending their root password as plain
text over the network? Even though I'm sure I'll see a "HELP! My
linux box was broken-into!!" post from you in a month, I'll tell
you anyway: add 'root' to /etc/ftpusers and read the man page for
wu.ftpd.

Dear friends,
I have installed redhat with linux kernel 2.0 on my computer. I wish to ftp
2.1 kernel. I used minicom -s to dial up my ISP and executed pppd /dev/cua1
crtscts noipdefault and successfully ping the ISP IP address. However, when
I tried to ping other sites, it failed. The error message is "unable to
locate server name from 165.21.83.88. No response from the server".
I believe I have not set up the TCP/IP network properly but from all the
books that I've got, I just do not know where I went wrong. I am very new
to networking and need help desperately.
I would appreciate it if someone can advise me.
Thank you.

Nevermind about this problem. I didn't get it to work with the 3-com
cards (3c509), so I installed Linksys 10/100 nic's in both PC's. I brought
up the interfaces just like before, only low and behold, this time it
works!!!!!!! I'd still be interested to hear any ideas anyone might have
about why the 3-com cards didn't work.

Subject: More Samba madness
Date: 15 Jul 1999 21:53:45 PDT
This is driving me crazy! I just can't get Samba to work.
My Linux box won't even ping my Windows box. I configured the Hosts and
LMHosts files in Windows 95 and on Linux. Each of the two machines can ping
themselves. They're connected through a 10-megabit Ethernet hub that worked
fine when both machines were running Win 95. But now that I've loaded Linux
on one, it can't talk to the other. When I try to ping from the Linux to
the Windows computer or vice versa, neither can see the other.
Which I suppose is making it all the harder to set up Samba itself. It just
won't work right. I'm trying to set it up to run under root. But when I
type smbclient -L root, I get this message:
cli_open_sockets: Unknown host ROOT.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

See above. The 2.2.5 kernel that comes with 6.0 requires it. The
more information we spread about this change, the better it'll be.
I tried the CONFIG_NFSD_SUN option in my .config file, but somehow
I've not been able to get 2.2.10 (monolithic kernel with NFS compiled
in) to run NFS properly.

Subject: Can't telnet, ping from outside.
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 04:30:51 GMT
Hello,
I'm using a DSL modem to connect to internet. The gateway machine is a
486 with 2 ethernet cards running RedHat6.
I can't ALWAYS ping nor telnet into my linux gateway. The interest part
however, is that I CAN ping (or telnet into) the gateway right after I
try to access the internet from the gateway. (ie pinging
www.netscape.com from my gateway.)
It seems that the modem sleeps after a short period of time and any
activity from my LAN to the outside world would wake it up. But it goes
back to sleep after 10 mins or so.
I suspect this is a problem with the setup coz I can always ping my
gateway when it runs win98. I don't remember having the same problem
before I upgraded from Redhat5.2.
Thanks for reading.

I appear to have found the solution: I commented out all of the "LogFormat
..." Lines (i.e., Lines 159-162). I don't understand why these Lines were
uncommented to begin with or why commenting them out does the trick, but at
least APACHE works now:-)

Hello,
I'm not sure what exactly can be done to use Apple Share over IP, but can
share with some information about NT <--> Mac networking.
In order to network NT & Mac machines all you need to do is to install
"Services for Macintosh" on NT box (it comes on WinNT CD-ROM). But you may
face some problems due to the fact that there is a firewall between two
platforms.
Another interesting fact is that Macs are using another protocol for
networking - 'Open transport', which is nothing else then Mac implementation
of TCP/IP protocol.
Good luck!

Subject: FXP problem (with Proftpd)
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 17:20:31 GMT
I've suddenly encountered a problem with an ftp server I've been running.
I have quite a few users, many of whom do fxp transfers to and from my
server. I use Proftpd on Redhat 5.2, and things have been working
flawlessly, however, as of a few days back, my users can no longer fxp
files *into* my machine, only *out* of it.
The only thing that has changed with my machine is that I uninstalled
Linuxconf. <sigh> I've never used Linuxconf to configure the machine. A
friend and I were discussing all of the problems/issues Linuxconf can
cause, so I decided to remove it. Apparently, some Linuxconf configs don't
get stored in the normal places, but are actually kept in a Linuxconf
config file of some sort. (Kind of like the Windows registry??) And this
config info overrides any changes (especially network stuff) that you make
manually. That was my main reason for getting rid of it. So I'm thinking
maybe there was something important that I wasn't aware of sitting in the
Linuxconf configs when I got rid of it.
Anyway, that's my only guess at this time. I'm by no means a Linux expert,
but I've been using it for a while, so I'm not a quite newbie, either. :)
If anyone has any clues, I'd greatly appreciate it. At the bottom of this
message I've included a snippet of the log files recorded when a users
tries to fxp to my machine. Hope it helps. (Sorry about the messiness of
it.)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Please email if you can.
(Just remove the appropriate spam-prevention bits from my email address
below.)
Thanks!

I tried to do all of those that you are attempting but I was unable to get

The 3C509B-TPO card would not work with anything other than RH 5.0, I tried

Take the 3Com card back and pick up a LINKSYS is the only advice I have.

You could try using "suck." It connects to your ISP's news
server as an ordinary news client and feeds the articles in
the groups you want to your local server to read offline or
over a lan.

Subject: CHAP PPP in RedHat 6?
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 06:12:33 GMT
I installed RedHat 6 tonight, and I cannot for the life of
me figure out how to enable CHAP-based PPP (AT&T Worldnet)
using the tools RedHat provides (netcfg, linuxconf, etc).
Obviously I managed to connect, but only by using a copy
of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /usr/sbin/ppp-on that I
salvaged from my Slackware installation. The whole point
of installing RH6, though, was to teach myself "the RedHat
way" (I use Debian by choice, Slackware otherwise, and
RedHat because lots of y'all are using it and I might
as well know what's going on in the rest of the world...)
I don't have the desire (or disk-space) to install KDE
and KPPP, which I know *does* have an option to set up a
CHAP-authenticated PPP dialup. Is there no way to enable
this from the GUI?
RedHat's site is mum on the issue ("we ain't gonna offer
no PPP support, sonny").
Danke!

Subject: PPP problems in linuxconf
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 05:31:03 GMT
hello, i am excited and eager to join the linux community and i hope soon
to be able to leave the <wonderful> world of windows way behind. however i
am having some elementary problems for which i could use assistance,
especially to be able to go online from within linux.
(using redhat 6.0)
(excuse my verbosity but so far i don't know what is pertinent)
Following the redhat installation guide i used linuxconf to configure
PPP.
1) the input fields seem resistant to accepting changes once they are
accepted (for example i typed the phone # wrong). finally i deleted the
ppp0, logged off and tried again.
1a)the book sd cua1 is the com1, but my config showed tty0 by default so i
left it;anyway the it did dial ok, but...
2) i had to shut off my modem manually because after i clicked "connect"
it just kept dialing, getting the modem tone handshake, then disconnect
then re-dial. couldn't interrupt this.
the "disconnect" had no effect.
3) i suspect i am not getting through, because after the phase of the
handshake, i activate Netscape and it can't find a DNS. perhaps the
authentication script is not "ogin:" "ord:"; but i couldn't change these
anyway, so i didn't call the ISP to see if the script is different (also
it is after hours).
ok, so, what am i doing wrong?
and...once that is all set, i am told to use "usernet" for daily dial-up.
i found the "man" page, but still have not located "usernet"; does it come
with? do i install it? (i haven't quite gotten to the part where i install
applications, since i am first trying to get on line.
i hope this is not too verbose but i wanted to describe clearly and i
don't yet know what is pertinent. so bear with me, ok? i and thanks for
any light you all can shed on this beginners trail.

Yes you must have basic networking functioning properly before trying to get
Samba to run. Have you setup the local caching DNS on the linux box. That may
help to get your network running. When I first started using linux I had the
same problem (a year or so ago). Can't for the life of me remember what the
actual problem was though. What version of linux do you run?

The HOSTNAME being the name of the machine you are trying to list services
from NOT root. root is the root user which is you. Hopefully you are not trying
to use root as a hostname.

Subject: Samba w/ 2 subnets, 1 interface?
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 05:01:24 GMT
I have two subnets, 192.168.0.0/24 and 216.x.x.x/28 which are
both accessed via eth0. I'm running samba 2.03 on a linux box w/ip
192.168.0.204. The win98 clients on the 192.168.0. subnet can access
the shares, yet the 216.x.x.x client's can't. any ideas? I'm only
running DNS, no WINS. Thanks!

Seems I was a bit hasty... the initial setup didn�t [1] offer DE-660
as an option, but later searching led me to a newer PCMCIA support
package, and the driver was just waiting for me there. No problems now.
[1] I swear it didn�t :)

It sounds to me like when you type ppp your server sends the ppp connection
handshaking but you are not running the local ppp program it needs to handshake
with. You need to run ppp at the local (your) linuxbox within a timeout frame
for the 2 to connect. Basically the server is timing out waiting for your local
ppp program to answer it.

This is not a winmodem. It will work in Linux as long as you can get it
ISA PnP configured.
