At the places I work -- San Luis Obispo, CA and
Emeryville, CA -- we have a Cobalt Qube 2 at each site acting as a
web/ftp/e-mail/file/DNS/DHCP/WINS server and network address
translator, with several Windows NT 4.0 clients (and in the case
of San Luis Obispo, also Windows 95 and Windows 98 clients). The
problem we are having is that when I try to FTP from the Cobalt
Qube 2 or one of its clients -- or use a web browser from one of
the clients in Emeryville to a site which does a very careful
reverse DNS check (ftp.complex.is or www.complex.is), the remote
site gets a CNAME record instead of a PTR record (according to the
sysadmin of the remote site), and refuses the connection. This
problem does not occur in our San Luis Obispo office.
Our networks are configured very similarly, with the following
differences:
1. The domain/workgroup names are different.
2. The outside IP addresses (on the secondary ethernet interfaces
of the Cobalt Qube 2's) are different.
3. The Emeryville office only has 1 Windows NT workgroup, whereas
the San Luis Obispo office has multiple Windows NT workgroups.
4. The Emeryville office has its connection to the outside world
(from the secondary ethernet port of the Cobalt Qube 2)
through an Alcatel DSL 1000 "modem" over DSL service provided
by Pacific Bell; the San Luis Obispo office has its connection
to the outside world (also from the secondary ethernet port of
the Cobalt Qube 2) via an ethernet cable to a hub and/or
router in the office of our local ISP next door.
5. Something unknown in the configuration of the San Luis Obispo
office internal network causes Windows file sharing from the
Cobalt Qube 2 to break for all users other than "admin" (see
my accompanying post about this problem).
6. The Cobalt Qube 2's differ very slightly as detailed below.
The Cobalt Qube 2 in our Emeryville office (on which things
seem to work properly) is configured with the following software:
Cobalt OS Release 4.0 (original install)
Cobalt Qube2 Update Release 1.0 (original install)
Shell History Patch Release 1.1 (original install)
"RUNNING MFG TESTS" minor bug (original install -- a patch is
available, but not installed here)
The Cobalt Qube 2 in our San Luis Obispo office (on which
Windows file sharing doesn't work right) is configured with the
following software:
Cobalt OS Release 4.0 (original install)
Cobalt Qube2 Update Release 1.0 (added as patch from manufacturer)
Shell History Patch Release 1.1 (added as patch from manufacturer)
Note: Cobalt OS 4.0 on the Cobalt Qube 2 identifies itself (before it
gives the login prompt) as "Cobalt Linux release 4.0 (Fargo)" /
"Kernel 2.0.34 on a mips".

IM trying to circumvent the APR process of mapping IP's to MAC's

I have an Ethernet equiped device (serial I/O expander) that does not

It talks UDP packets. I want to "hard code" the MAC address into my

Subject: ipchains with multiple mail server IP addresses
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 02:12:36 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm running a firewall with a 2.2.6 kernel (slackware 4.0) and have IP
chains up and running for my small home network over the cable modem.
The only problem is with the pop3 mail.
My ISP (earthlink.net) has multiple mail servers aliased to
"mail.earthlink.net". Successive calls to nslookup return different
INDIVIDUAL addresses. In contrast, running nslookup on (for example)
www.altavista.com returns a list of addresses.
The ipchains rules look like:
ipchains -A input -i eth0 -p tcp ! -y -s $POP_SERVER 110 \
-d $EXTERNAL_IP 1025:65525 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i eth0 -p tcp -s $EXTERNAL_IP 1025:65535 \
-d $POP_SERVER -j ACCEPT
If I hard-code one of the "mail.earthlink.net" addresses as
$POP_SERVER in the IPCHAINS setups and on ALL the clients, this works.
However, it seems contrary to the spirit of the whole system . . .
.<g>
If I don't hard-code the address, the resolution of
"mail.earthlink.net" at run-time almost NEVER matches the one that
ipchains made at startup, so the packets are denied.
Any suggestions would be welcome . . . .
TIA . . .

Good point. I actually dont know yet how the current network is set up.
I was briefly told that it is a WinNT fileserver with a bunch of Win95 boxes
networked to it. So I guess you are right, I could plug the Linux box
right into the hub of the current network, saving one extra network card
in the NT server.
As you can tell, I havent done this before, but thats the kind of input
I was looking for.
Thanks.

Subject: Gateway to connect my home network to Internet doesn't work!
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 02:40:21 GMT
Hi there,
I have RedHat 5.2, and I'm trying to use it as a gateway to connect
my local home network (3 computers) directly to the Internet.
I have a service provider that gives me ADSL using DHCP.
Things doesn't seem to work, and I think I've narrowed it down
to a software/configuration problem. Here's what I have:
My Linux machine has two identical network cards compatible
with the ne2k-pci device driver.
For the first NIC (eth0), I configure it as "DHCP", and that is
the one that I connect to my service provider. That works fine
(in fact, right now I'm running Linux and I'm connected online
to Internet).
For the second NIC, I configure it as "Specify IP address", and
I set its IP to 192.168.0.1 (supposedly an address reserved for
local networks use).
Now, I installed Linux on a second machine, with another ne2k-pci
card. In that case, I configured the (only) NIC as "Specify IP
address", and set its IP address to 192.168.0.2; in addition to
that, I specified that the default gateway is 192.168.0.1 (that
is, the machine that is connected to my ISP).
Now, if I sit on the main machine (the one connected to my ISP)
and do:
ping 192.168.0.2
The other machine responds. Also, if I sit in the other machine and
I ping 192.168.0.1, the main machine does respond. In fact, if I
sit in the second machine and ping the main machine using the
dynamically address given by my ISP, it still responds!
>From the main machine, if I ping any random machine on the Internet,
it responds (provided that I ping a machine that is alive and
responding :-)).
BUT THE PROBLEM IS:
If I sit on the second machine and try to ping a machine that is
on the Internet, I get no response). The weirder thing is that when
I do that, I see the LEDs of my ADSL modem blinking -- it seems that
the main machine (the gateway) is actually forwarding the packets
through the other NIC (the one connected to my ISP), but it looks
like it it's corrupting the packages or something like that...
Any ideas of what's wrong or missing?
As I understand, Linux works automatically as a gateway, provided
that it has two NICs properly configured. I've checked the
configurations, and they seem fine, according to my limited
kwnowledge on networking stuff... I must be overlooking something.
Thanks for any hints/info/pointers!!

Of course we'll be kind. ;-)
A proper setup is to dedicate the firewall/Internet gateway to just
that one function. Other servers (email, http, ftp) should reside on
a separate box in a DMZ, using valid IP addresses. This would hang
off a third NIC card.
The reason is that ftp and http are exploitable, therefore should not
share the same box as a firewall.
I don't know if Linux can do this, but IP forwarding should NOT happen
unless the firewall software is running. Checkpoint's Firewall-1 does
this for you; this is to avoid allowing all traffic through during a
re-boot.

Hi eveybody !!
I've been using Linux for a year and first installed a Red Hat 5.1, then a
Mandrake 5.3 a few months ago and I've just installed (and not upgraded !)
the Mandrake 6.0.
Everything is working quite properly (except for some problems mentioned in
the FAQ !) but I can't connect to the Internet through kpppd as I used to do
with my other distributions !!
I've obviously taken a look at the kpppd how-to and FAQ and found out that
my problem stems from a timing problem between the RAS and the PPP
connection.
The FAQ mentions a solution about this : modifying the delay between both
elements.
The point is that I don't know what I'm supposed to do, for the explanations
are a little bit "fuzzy" for me...
I've tried to change the post init and pre init strings value in the kpppd
panel but to no avail...
I've tried a script thanks to the explanations but it didn't work either
probably due to a mistake from me...
Could anybody tell me if I can connect to the internet easily with kpppd or
at the very least if someone managed to find a solution ??
I've installed the Mandrake 6.0, ie with a 2.2.9 kernel.
My provider doesn't require anything particular to connect to . Up to now I
just used the PAP connection and that was it.
Thanks in advance for your answers ! It's quite urgent for I need the
connection to upgrade my Mandrake and download files required to solve
problems mentioned in the FAQ.

Carlos-
Since you are using Class C addresses (ie, not real registered IP addresses)
then you need to enable IP masquerading in RH5.2. The best place to get the
full scoop is in the IP Masquerading HOWTO. You will end up adding some
ipfwadm rules in your rc.local (I created an rc.firewall script that is
called by rc.local) that look something like this:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
ipfwadm -M -s 7200 10 60
ipfwadm -I -a accept -S 0/0 68 -D 0/0 67 -W eth1 -P udp
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
You will also want to load some of the modules that allow typical client
services from behind the firewall. These modules are loaded by modprobe
*BEFORE* I enable the ip masquerading above (through ipfwadm) and precede
the ipfwadm commands in the same script file mentioned above.
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_cuseeme
Good luck,
*Lew*

Subject: serving NIS to BSDI: netgroup problem
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 10:25:25 -0800
I'm running an NIS server on Redhat Linux 6.0, though I
don't think the OS is relevant. I want some accounts to be
available on some machines, other accounts available on
other machines.
netgroups seem perfect for this, and they seem to work on
a freeBSD client. However, they don't work on a BSDI client.
BSDI uses the irs.conf file, rather than modifications
to /etc/passwd, etc, to control configuration.
Any suggestions how to use netgroups on BSDI?
Thanks
Tom Legrady

someone told me that in apache
not only "index.html" can be the default filename for a directory
other filename can also be the default filename
by putting
#!/bin/sh
cat<<eof
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: index.htm
eof
in a file called nph-index.cgi,
i find that it works in my one of machine,
but it failed in other machine,
is it related to lack of modules or compilation???
what should i do if i wanna enable this feature?
Thanks.

I've gotten a recent tulip driver and compiled it. The new module loads
ok. Everything seems ok when I check route and ifconfig. I can ping my
own card, but I can't ping outside my card. There's no sign of any
network activity coming out of the card. I have a dual install with
Win98 and can use the interface card in windows with no problem, so I
assume the hardware is alright.
