I am using PPP 2.3.8, kernel 2.2.10 with AT&T WorldNet. Linux installation
is SlackWare 3.1
Changed my script to the following:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS2 57600 noauth lock crtscts modem noipdefault \
asyncmap 0 name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -d \
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t 120 -r /etc/ppp/connect-errors \

The result seems "better" than before - in that I no longer get bad fcs

Please Help!

Two software ways to do it come to mind immediately:
a) just delete all routes that point toward the NIC you're interested
in. That way there's no (claen) way your NIC would go beyond physical
(link layer) handshaking, while you still could listen to it.
b) set up a firewall, e.g.
ipfwadm -f -p DENY
or
ipchains -A output -p DENY
which sould make the kernel silently drop anything that tries to

I'm setting up Samba on a home network using Redhat 6.0. I just realized
that even though my Samba server shows up in the network neighborhood, I
can't access it because I don't have a local DNS server. (I didn't
select it when I installed Linux.)
How can I install "named" and get it to run at boot?

Joe,
I think this is because you have two default gateways.
default 166.102.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG
ppp0
default 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG
eth0
Try issuing the command:
/sbin/route del default gw 192.168.1.254
and, hopefully, the problem will go away. However, you may have to add
192.168.1.254 back to the routing table as the default gateway when
you're finished with PPP. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Subject: Weird ppp problem...
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 00:01:47 -0400
I am running RedHat 6.0 on my laptop. I use ppp 2.3.7 to dial into the
computers in school. Everything works fine, apart from an error message
that I get saying "Unsupported protocol 0x8029 received". I can ping all
computers, including the gateway, I can ping outside of my subnet, but for
some reason I cannot seem to telnet/ftp into the machines. When I try
telnet ee.duke.edu, I get
Trying 152.3.17.193...
Connected to ee.duke.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
And my xterm hangs at this point. There are no messages in my logs
pointing me to the probable cause. When I deactivate the link, and then
reactivate it (using netcfg), things work *sometimes*. I can telnet and
stuff, but for the most part, the xterm simply hangs...
Any light on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Typical problem in my installations. The linux box doesn't know who it
is. I find that once you put it's own IP number in the hosts table this
problem goes away. My problme is that nslookup can't find my system name.
This keeps leafnode from working. My temporary work around was to put the
IP number instead of host name in the hosts.allow file.

POP3/IMAP for mail, and ipchains + IP Masquerading for

Using samba (smbmount), mount the drives (shared) on

Perfect for Linux. Set it up in a corner, set it up to email logfiles
nightly, and ssh in occasionally to ensure all is well. Leave yourself
a "back door," if you're administrating it remotely; for instance,
run 'sshd' both from inetd (standard port) and from rc.local (non-
standard port), so if inetd dies (it did on our box once, while I, the
only administrator, was in Missouri - boy am I glad I had multiple ways
in!) you've always got an avenue.

If everything's set up right, your Windows boxes will reconnect
to shared network resources at boot, automatically. And running
scripts might be as easy as setting up Windows Agent (assuming
such can be done; I think it should be possible) to, for instance,
call Internet Explorer or Netscape with the URL of a CGI script
that would do the trick for you.

Still not entirely sure what you mean by 'client software,' but I'd
love to know more specifics and lend my assistance.

Subject: Adopting Linux.
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 01:05:04 -0500
I post this plea (that will probably go unnoticed) in the
hopes of maintaining the good reputation Linux has
thus far engendered for itself...
Please, please, please... As great as Linux is, do *not*
simply replace your legacy way of doing business with it.
Not outright, anyway. The pragmatic approach would be to
set up a small server running Linux, leaving your existing
solution in place. Install a trial-run that is as close
to the real world conditions as possible, and access it
using your standard workstations AFTER HOURS. Iron out
the kinks BEFORE going live.
When you're as certain as you can be that your Linux solution
is going to work, under the types of loads that you expect
(multiple users accessing shared files, whatever), then
replace your legacy system with your Linux box(en). But
do keep the old server around for a week or two (minimum),
until you're 100% positive that Linux is doing what you
need it to do.
The number of "please help, desperate" posts that pop up in
c.o.l.* are increasing exponentially, and it seems most of
them include the words "mission critical" or "necessary for
my business" somewhere in the body. To be blunt and frank,
this is just plain stupid. But the reality is that people
are rushing in to adopt Linux, they're betting the farm so
to speak, they may not work out their kinks in time, and
the Linux project they embarked on will fall flat on its
face. Bad for the user, bad PR, bad press, bad for Linux...

The network seems to be working OK and I can Telnet and FTP between
machines OK, I just can't mount the remote filesystems from either my
desktop or laptop.
I have the settings in smb.conf that you suggest and Samba works fine
on Linux to Win98, but this is Linux to Linux and I don't think I need
Samba running for that do I ?

Correction. T1's operate at 1.5Mbps (that's
bits, not bytes).

Actually this doesn't just apply to Linux, but to _ANY_
installation of a new system to replace an existing one.
ALWAYS install the new system alongside the old one, test
it BEFORE you have to depend on it, run the two in parallel
for a while if possible to check for errors you didn't
catch in testing, and ALWAYS keep the old system around for
a while after making the switch just in case Murphy rears
his head and you have to switch back in a hurry.
This applies to everything, whether it's Linux, *BSD, a
commercial Unix, Windows, MVS, VMS or whatnot. _I_ learned
this rule 15 or so years ago when making the switch from
VMS 3.x to 4.0. I haven't seen any reason to deviate from
it yet, and any time management makes me deviate from it it
_always_ results in massive problems.

Hmmm....
On your windows machine(s), under the Network control panel, there
should be an option called "workgroup". Call this something indicative
of your network (eg. "home" or "mine").
Then, on Samba (it's easy using SWAT), set the domain/workgroup to be
the same. And it should work after reboot (fingers crossed).

Only one account is in the wheel group to su to root,
and my account isn't it. If anyone gets in using my
account, all they'll have is user-level access.
I have a ssh client installed on my personal box,
but when I'm elsewhere, I don't. I only login
with the administrative account, and su to root,
when I'm running ssh.

A week later? And why kill inetd but not sshd or the getty
monitoring the modem line?

I don't think this is the work of a hacker. I've had hackers
in the system before and tracked 'em down. I've also had
syslogd crash on me before once before, when the box was
not on a LAN but on my desk with the hard-drives spread
out... =) It's known as 'ebhon' because it's an
emotional black hole of need. Erratic behaviour is
more or less expected of the beast.

I have a Red Hat Linux Server running in the basement. The problem is that I
want to log on to my server through the TCP/IP netwerk with a
Windows95/98/NT machine, so I don't have to run to the basement every time I
need to change some settings. I already tried to do that through Telnet, but
you may not logon as root through telnet. Can anybody tell me wich program I
need to install on my Windows95/98/NT machine to emulate a terminal that
supports X-Windows and logging on as root through TCP/IP?
