hello!
have you tried using the pam_unix* modules instead of pam_pwdb?
perhaps setting xsreensaver SUID-root helps.

Hi,
i have set up a Router with two network cards
one is a MADGE SMART PCI RN MK3 (token - ring)
and the other is a SMC 3C590 PCI (ethernet)
Both modules where loaded without errors.
I can reach the router from both networks via ping,
But the router isn�t routing i couln�t reach the other net.
For a test i have replace the TR-card with a ethernet card and
the routing works!! So i belive very strong that my setup is correct.
Knows someone a Problem with the 2.2.7 kernel and tr ??
Or is it a problem from the madge-driver (12.05.99)

OK, guys, thanks for your help. I've come up with this, which seems to
work for me, but if you wouldn't mind adding your comments...
Also, I know that proxying offers better security than just packet
filtering, but this will have to do for now.

[posted and mailed]
your /proc/net/ipx_interface should say something like
Network Node_Address Primary Device Frame_Type
00000BA5 00AA003B356F Yes eth0 EtherII
Be very sure the frame type is right. HP Jetdirect Printers
and Win95 machines can put other frame types on the network
that your server does NOT use and ipx_interface can get confused. If
this is the case you will have to use the program ipx_interface
to force the correct frame type, and perhaps use the program ipx_route
to add the network number and node address of your server.
What does /proc/net/ipx_route say?
If it is blank then you have not got the right network number
or frame type or both and you won't be able to connect to your server.
Your server in /proc/net/ipx_interface will look like
Network Router_Net Router_Node
00000EE3 00000BA5 00AA0034551A
00000EE2 00000BA5 00AA0034551A
8001020B 00000BA5 00AA0034551A
00000BA7 00000BA5 00AA0034551A
00000BA1 00000BA5 00AA0034551A
00000BA5 00000BA5 Directly Connected
The Router_Node in all the above listings is the router node of your
server or other IPX router.
You aren't by chance also running mars-netware-emulator on the same
machine? That can cause problems.

Subject: Smbmount & SuSE 6.1
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 09:52:08 -0500
I've been running several Linux boxes with SuSE 6.0 & kernel 2.0.36 for
quite some time as workstations in an NT domain environment. I've been
using a script file with the following format to connect to shares on
various NT servers:
smbmount //servername/sharename /mnt/mountpoint -D <domainname> -U
<domain userid> -P <domain password>
This has worked well for authentication by our domain account server and
mounting shares quickly & easily. However, I recently loaded the new
SuSE 6.1 with the 2.2 kernel and discovered, as have lots of other
folks, that the smbmount command no longer works the same way (or at
all, for that matter!). I have looked through all the old messages,
searched the web, read the FAQs, and am now at a point where I'm utterly
and completely confused!
I don't want to set up my boxes as servers; all I want to do is use them
as workstations to access shares on our NT network. Is there an easy way
to accomplish this without downloading this, compiling that, muttering
incantations, etc., etc.? Or should I just go back the the 2.0.36 kernel
that worked so well for me?
My apologies in advance if this has been solved before; I just can't
seem to find an answer that fits this problem.

Subject: Re: Mgetty and AutoPPP
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 17:28:38 GMT
Your mgetty appears fine, it's your pppd that is not set up
properly. If your win95 machine has a login name and password set in
dial-up networking, your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file should also have
that login name and password in it as in
remote * secret-password
where remote is the Win95 login name and secret-password is remote's
password.
And your /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 file should have
proxyarp
ms-dns xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is a DNS server number
auth
192.68.1.1:192.68.1.2 #or some other appropriate set of numbers so
#that the remote machine gets an IP address that works on your network
and then things should work. Man pppd for details.
Your mgetty is starting pppd but pppd (which for some reason is not
doing any logging, check man pppd to get some logging output from pppd
- 'debug' should work, but you may also have to futz with
/etc/syslog.conf to get it to go.

from what i read here, it seems there is a misunderstanding,
or something goes wrong i have not seen before.
normally with vncviewer, you connect to the server and see the
screenoutput - so if your viewer shows a grey X-screen this would
normally be seen on the vnc-serving machine as well.
so you first start the window-manager on the serving-machine, and then,
using vnc-server, you simply export this window to the viewing machine,
is that understandable?
i still have to see it other than that

Subject: cable modem w/ nonstatic IP
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 12:11:29 -0500
Thanks for your interest. Is there a way to share an internet connection
(cable modem) using IP masq & Samba; even though my "level of service" does
not provide a staticIP? That is my cable provider uses DHCP to assign me a
new IP every session. I would be willing to leave my RedHat 6.0 box turned
on all the time. I have purchased two 3c905's and an 8 port hub but have
not yet setup my home LAN. What is the best solution? This is such a basic
question it is scary!! If you have general software and/or hardware
solutions a quick description would be appreciated. Thank you very much in
advance.

Hi Albert,
I was yesterday in the same situation as you today. My solution was to edit
the xstartup file in the {$home}/.vnc-Directory in the following way:
1. comment out ALL commands in the script
2. insert a new line witch starts the KDE (or something like this).
My script /root/.vnc/xstartup now looks like:
#!/bin/sh
kde
# xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
# xsetroot -solid grey
# xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
# twm &
Thats all.
Good luck
Joe

short answer :NO
long answer :
how do you ping ( adress, name)?
can you ping both ways (linux1<>linux2) and both modes (names,adresses?)
when win95box is actually linuxbox2?
my first idea would be you have to add name of win95box to hosts.
my second idea, did you set up tcpip under win95,
try to ping 'localhost' from win95, and ping 'nameofyourwin95box' from
win95box.
last: incase evrything else seems ok, there is a tool tcpdump to listen
to tcp-packets.
try it

This seems like a lot of pain for little gain. Buy an NE2000 clone network
card for each machine and a cross over cable. Configure the Microsoft
client and the Linux machine. Total cost $25.00 plus tax. Fast, easy,
reliable, cheap.
