Sorry to have confused you earlier. What I got after trying to ping a
hostname is "unknow host" and when I typed nslookup, the message is "can't
find server name for address 65.21.83.88. No response from the server".
I have not set up my ethernet card yet because it is not recognized by the
linux kernel. I need to get the linux 2.1 in order for my NE2000 PCI
ethernet card to work.
Thank you.

No, the other way around, remove root from /etc/ftpusers, that file
tells you who is NOT allowed to log in as root. Easy to mix up :-)
A better way to send/fetch files as root is to use scp from the
ssh-package. You will then send login, password, and data in an
encrypted and rather safe way. It is not, in a box connected to
Internet, or any other larger network, adviseable to let root log
in using telnet and/or ftp. You should use more safe measures to
do that. Personally I use ssh. Take a look at http://www.replay.com/
or ftp://ftp.replay.com/ for the ssh package.

chroot wants the path of the bin inside the chroot jail "/home/ftp/bin/ls".

Hi!!
OK, I've got a problem: my Samba-Server doesn't show up in the Network
neighbourhood in the WIn-Boxes :-(... When using 'net view \\linux', Win
tells me that I used a bad password. Whats wrong??
PLEASE DON'T POST THESE TWO SITES TO ME (
http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/samba/index.html +
http://home.talkcity.com/MigrationPath/maguai/samba.html ).......
I have already used them, and they helped me to get as far as I am...
but unfortunately not any further. I've done everything like it is in
there, but afterwars, when I used 'net view \\linux', I got an error,
that the machine can't be found :-(. The same error occured when I used
an smb.conf made with SWAT.
I'd like to have a server, which is accessible from the Win-Boxes
without any password!!!!! What's the simplest smb.conf for this???
Thanks!
Rainer.

I looked into this, and found that the who -m command returns only the
user connected to that session, whereas who as used in your example
returns all users. This will certainly help. However, I'm still

Hi!!
When I use 'mget *' in smbclient to get all files of the directory, I
have to confirm every single file ("Get file filename?")... Is there a
way to tell mget that I don't want to confirm every file, but just get
them?
I need it because I want a shell-script to use smbclient and get all

Hi!
I have two machines that I am trying to network together:
AMD K6-2 300
64 Meg Ram
8.4 Gig HDD
Genius GF100TXR NIC
Running Windows 98
P100
32 Meg Ram
8.4 Gig HDD
ISA NE2000 Compatible NIC (Purchased from Maplin Electronics in the UK)
Running Slackware Linux 4.0
I am connecting the two using an 8 port hub (Also by Genius). I have set the
machines up as so:
Windows 98: visa.dodgyplastic.demon.co.uk 192.168.1.2
Linux: access.dodgyplastic.demon.co.uk 192.168.1.1
Now I can ping localhost fine (ping -t 192.168.1.2 on the 'Doze box &
192.168.1.1 on the Linux box). When it comes to pinging the other machine I
always get 'request timed out' on the Windows box, and nothing on the Linux
one.
I have also tried this using a cross-over cable and had the same thing. This
would suggest I have a hardware problem, I think :)
When my Windows machine boots, the BIOS tells me the NIC is on IRQ 11.
Windows seems to set it on IRQ 12. Is this normal?
I hope you can help, I am getting sick of rebooting just to play games...
TIA

Hi folks!
I´m definitely not a linux newbie, but a networkin newbie.
The RedHat-Install (5.2 / i386 / GPL) at work is driving my nuts. I just
wanted to install a self-build-kernel which didn´t work. So I decided to
get the latest 2.0.37-Kernel to update the kernel also. Build it,
worked, fine.
But the ISDN-Setup didn´t work after the upgrade. I can connect via
"isdnctrl dial ippp0", but not automated. I suppose that the reason
might be found when analysing the startup-message "modprobe: could not
find module net-pf-#". I ignored it on my no-networking install at home.
So I need documentation about this issue. Please help.

Subject: My Dissapointment to find Linux not a viable solution
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 10:06:58 +0100
I love Linux and have been using it for the last year as our email
and internet server but have found we cannot consider Linux as a
serious option as a firewall, email/internet server and a virus
checker for all incomming emails.
I may be wrong and hope to be proved wrong but the companies in
Glasgow/Edinburgh I have spoken to cannot support our requirements
with Linux. I will explain our setup and what I would like to see
and hope that someone can give me some suggestions or point me
in the direction of some company that can help.
We have ~ 150 PCs running win95
4 servers running SCO
about to install a router between 2 offices using a leased line
and a card to allow remote access from laptops.
linux box running delegate proxy and qmail connected to a direct
telephone line to a single dial up account.
We would like to allow laptop users in to our network for email access and
server access. I believe the cisco router will allow us to specify which IP
addresses are allowed in and which are not. We wish to protect our LAN from
the outside.
So, I have been informed that the linux server is not secure and we need a
proper
firewall. We also need a better method of virus scanning rather than
updating
each PC each month. I believe we could use samba for this with some type of
network AV software.
I know hat I could go out and buy an NT server with MSProxy or whatever and
some
email package, firewall-1 and mime-sweeper. But this would cost a hell of a
lot
or money which I dont know our company would be willing to pay for (ok, i
know all
about the importance how much is our data worth etc etc...).
So, why is there Linux based solution. Why is there no AV scanning software
that can
run on Linux? If there is , does anyone know of a local company that can
help us?

When trying to map a drive from Win95 to a Linux server, it prompts:
The password is incorrect. Try Again.
Even though the password is right. In Windows 95 you can't set the username
when logging on to another server (or can you?) like in Windows NT so I think
that might be the problem. Any hints?

You can do that automatically by entering isdnctrl huptimeout ippp0 300

We've been running a socks 4 server on one of our Amiga's, directing all
the other win machines in the house thru a 56k modem on the Amiga for their
internet access.
We are in the process of converting this 'gateway' box between the house
and our ISP/dialup to a RH5.2 box. We have some of it running. like
email from any machine, but ftp useage seems to be eluding us, and we
either have to enable it or convert back very quickly as the Amiga is
doing our web page maintainance many times a day, and the Amiga is doing
all that via ftp.
I saw, just a couple of weeks back, a post giving a URL for a complete
socks setup guide. We were running socks 4 on the 'miggy, but would
like to switch to socks 5, but its included docs are (I'll be kind here)
sparse.
If anyone has that socks setup URL, I'd sure appreciate it.

Hi guys,
I would like to setup a simple mailing list on my linux. Actualy I would
just like to achieve the basic functionalities of a m.l.: email sent to a
particular user@mymachine -> that email forwarded to all users belongin to
that m.l. except the one who sent it.
An idea is just to create a user and use the .forward file to forward
emails, is it there a way to do the same without creating such user? For
example configuring the popper or sendmail service? Is it there a software
who does that (ndr majordomo seems much complicated - I have to minimise
the processes on my machine).

So if you think about connecting remote Stations you should consider a VPN.
There
are a few solutions for Linux (IPSec and PPTP based)

I'm working with MS Products for a long time now as an MCSE. If you have a
PDC sitting in your net you can do many things with it. Samba 2.x is capable
in
the field of simulating a PDC and there are a few studies that show a
performance
advantage Samba over NT, but ... Not all the features of NT are implemted in
Samba
yet. There are lots of Virus Scanners floating around that are built for
network use. They
have their prize, but you are talking about a company securing itself. I
built up firewalls
(mostly CheckPoint) and know about that low-cost topic. But if the customer
wants a
prizeless solution, why doesn't he migrate to Unix on the workstations ?? On
a well configured
Linux Workstation a Virus would not stand a chance. (I think, this is the
reason, why there are
no AV Solutions on Linux.. You don't need one)
