Hi Marcus-
I have two identical NE2000 ISA clones in my Linux RH5.2 machine. Make sure
that your kernel supports the driver modules for your cards. Here's my
/etc/conf.modules entries:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options eth0 -o ne1 io=0x300 irq=12
options eth1 -o ne2 io=0x240 irq=11
Replace the module name "ne" with "smc-ultra" and adjust I/O and IRQ
appropriately for your configuration. I turned off plug n pray on the cards
and hard configured them to the addresses above...just in case.
Good luck.

Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 16:38:44 +0000
Hi,
I am a newbie, I read the NAG (Network administrator guide)
a little bit, but it does not answer my question.
I have a Linux PC on which I connect to the internet
through PPP fine. I would like to connect a laptop
to this PC (through ethernet) in a way that I could
still use this PPP connection so that both computers
may browse the internet.
My concern is about IP numbers: I dynamically get one
on the PC when I connect to my ISP. Is it possible
to get dynamically another one for the laptop,
or should I ask for one from internic as they say in the NAG?
Is there any kind of good reading for me ?
Thanks very much,
Vincent.

Hi,
I tink know what you want to do. I have a cable modem with a Dynamic IP on a
computer (486Dx2-66, 16 meg ram, 2.5G HD) with Linux (RadHat 5.2). It share
Internet for my other computer. It's always power ON and Online.
Linux is configure for IPmasquerade and firewalling, he has 2 Ethernet card.
one for the cable modem and the other for my Intranet.
About the Dynamic IP, the setting of the Ethernet card is DHCP, very easy to
configure in Redhat Linux (in Xwindows if you want ) and they will run even
if the IP change during the session.
If you want more information, you can email me or look the howto about
IPmasquerade.
good luck !

We will have to accept disagreement. I too have been doing this for a
long time. Putting file scanners in the fire wall, and relying on that,
seems questionable.
Are you telling me every port, every IP dialog is monitored and scanned
for viruses? Does the firewall extract software embedded in a zip file
or a self installing executable or even a cab file? What about lz or arc
files? I doubt it. What about ICQ or protocols like that? Does the
firewall understand the protocol well enough to pick out the form in
which a program may enter the system? What happens when a mac virus is
sent in a sit file?
The firewall can't possibly know what all the possible methods and
formats in which a program file will arrive. Without actually having
software in place to monitor the execution of questionable programs,
there is no way to both allow communication and protect the system.
The best anti-virus strategy is tightly controlling which files on a
network are read/write and running current virus software on the
clients.

I have a similar environment. I recently moved my modem off of my Win95 box
and put it on my Linux box. I then set up my ISP connection on the Linux
box, using PPP and Chat. I set up IP Masquerading so that all my machines
on my network can access the internet at the same time through my Linux box.
I suggest you take a look at the Networking Howto at www.sunsite.unc.edu
I'm not sure of the path, but look in something like Linux/Docs/Howto. Good
Luck!

I do not believe NT + proxy is a secure solution. When you go to
www.proxyfaq.networkgods.com (IE only) you can learn more about MS proxyserver
+ security. When you click on firewall you'll be send to Linux HowTo. MS tells
us at their own proxy pages proxyserver 2 is a firewall and on the same page MS
tells you who sells security solutions to use on proxy2. In my opinion this
means proxy2 is NOT a real firewall. There are some real firewalls for NT. They
cost at least $5000
For this kind of money you can spend some hours on writing and testing firewall
& mail solutions.

Subject: Problem with socket closure in 2.2 kernel?
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 19:14:41 GMT
Hi
I've noticed that when TCP sockets are closed (in C code) using the close()
call in a program running under a 2.2 kernel, occasionally not all the
remaining data is sent to the remote host. Setting the SO_LINGER option via
setsockopt makes no difference and the only way to solve the problem is to
use the shutdown() function, but since this is non blocking this would
require some sort of program timer to be written that makes the program go
back and close the socket once this has expired to free up the file
descriptor (calling close() immediately after a shutdown has the same
effect as just calling the close on its own).
The programs I've seen this behaviour on have run with no problems under
2.0 kernels and earlier not to mention solaris , hp-ux, osf/1 , aix and
sequent dynix so I suspect there may be something wrong with TCP in 2.2
If I'm wrong please tell me a way around this problem because its becoming
annoying.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: rh6 rlogin or telnet session appears to be hung after password prompt
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 19:09:19 GMT
I am switching a system I use from redhat5.1 to rh6.0 and have what I
assume is a configuration problem.
First the problem:
When I boot this machine to rh6, I cannot rlogin or telnet to anywhere
(even to itself). It accepts the rlogin command and then prompts for
the password, but after that it just sits. The shell which I
rlogged in with doesn't accept any input after that. I don't recall
whether I can interrupt (^c) or stop (^z) the shell or not. I do know
I can kill the window the shell is running in and that will kill the
shell.
The system does not have the problem when I boot it to rh5.1.
Now the background:
The system currently dual boots to either rh5.1 or rh6.0 depending on
whether I accept the default lilo boot or have lilo boot the "l"
configuration.
The default boot in rh5.1 and it has its own / (/dev/sda2) & /usr
(/dev/sda5) partitions. When running rh5.1, it uses the standard
(i.e. off the rh5.1 cd) 2.0.35 kernel.
The "l" configuration is rh6.0 and it has its own / (/dev/sda11) &
/usr (/dev/sda12) partitions. When running rh6.0, it uses the
standard 2.2.15-1 kernel (off the rh6 cd).
I have compared the contents of the /etc directories and have not
found the config file that is different and would seem related to this
problem. In particular, I know that the /etc/hosts and /etc/passwd
files are identical (and I have done pwconv to get the rh6 shadow
password file to be correct also). The /etc/fstab file only differs
in where it mounts the / and /usr partitions (each version also mounts
the other version's / and /usr under /rhx and /rhx/usr (where the x is
the # of the other version) so that I can easily compare things).
The fact that it asks for a password suggests to me that it gets
"connected" and that whatever daemon listens to the port is running.
I have looked at the man page for rlogin and didn't find any clues.
Is there a HOWTO which might likely address this problem? Just as
good (for my purposes) has anyone else run into this problem and
resolved it?
Note, I know that when I first started using rh5.1 I had a similar
problem in that I couldn't rlogin to the rh5.1 system until I made the
target user (the one I was rlogging into) have /bin/bash as its shell.
For some reason using /bin/tcsh as the shell for a rlogin user would
cause the system to get to the password prompt fine, but abort the
login after that (and I think it just hung also, but it might have
closed the connection instead). However, I am using /bin/bash as my
shell under rh6 (in fact the /home partition is shared between the two
systems so that I can keep the user directories the same under both
versions).
Thanks in advance for any help on this,
-Chris

I suggest that you set up IP Masquerading so that multiple machines on your
network can access the Internet at the same time, via your Linux box. I
suggest that you set up DHCP on your network so that your laptop will be
given an IP address appropriate for your network. The ISP will only know
about the one address it gives your PPP interface, which is fine. The Linux
box will keep track of the different machines on your network, even though
they could all be using the same PPP interface. What the ISP doesn't know,
won't hurt it. You may want to look at Linux Documentation and Howto at

First get your network set up (windows does not need more software its
in there) got to these to set up the network:
This site has a step by step howto for complete setup of samba. steps
for both linux and the win machine. (and they really work <G>)
http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/samba/index.html
and this one as well
http://home.talkcity.com/MigrationPath/maguai/samba.html
Then you will need to set up IPchains, don't frown, its easier than
step 1 was <G>
DL or install from CD ipchains, once installed do this:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
(then if you wish to also acces ftp on internet do the following)
insmod ip_masq_ftp
set up your ppp dial in and your winbox IE ought to go straight in.
BTW you can also simultaneously use netscape or whatever on linux
through that same modem.

Gerry,
You do understand of course that Win95 IS a client? You simply set up
tcp/ip on your NIC and point Windows at the linux machine. Thats all
their is to it. You install SAMBA on the linux (samba is the *nix
version of MS's smb protocol)

One major problem is people using outlook (without exchange, as many do)
and keeping their virus infected attachments inside the "pst" file where
no scanner can find them. Not to mention the word viruses hit spread
very quickly and the anti-virus vendors are having a hard time being
timely with updates.

Subject: ppp as non-root
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 18:41:04 GMT
I have PPP setup to dial my ISP under RH6.0, and it works like a
champ... as long as I am logged in as root. When I login as a regular
user, I cannot access PPP. When I start ppp as root, and then logout
and login as a user, I cannot access the internet. I can however, log
back out and relogin as root and it is still connected and working fine.
Any help is appreciated.

You need to give each machine a private ip address (10.0.0.X) for the
network cards, and then setup the laptop to use the linux box as either
a gateway or as a proxy (im not sure which - probably proxy tho).
