The ISP does either PAP or CHAP authentication, your choice. For PAP
make a /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file with the single line
<YourISPusername> * <YourISPpassword>
with the obvious two subsitutions.
Put the pppd option name <YourISPusername> in /etc/ppp/options, again
with the obvious substitution.
To use CHAP make a /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file and use the same line as
suggested above for PAP, with the same pppd option added to the options
file.

Does the pap-secrets file have a fourth field specifying what IP address(es)

If this isn't the problem then the PPP link negotiation messages using

I heared something, that in this case you just put 192.168.0.1 or any

Locking the computer to modem speed to something faster enough to handle

First off 1K/sec is a damn site faster than those 300 baud modems that
were popular in the "good old days" (when phone rates were higher too).
I had a similar problem only when using my (serial) mouse. Moving the modem
to a different serial port with different IRQ solved the problem.
Note: I now use a PS/2 mouse instead, since I am down to two serial
ports after a serious computer upgrade. One is a modem and the other
is a solbourne box. All I need to get around to now is connecting that
solbourne 16" (60Hz only) monitor as my main display.

Subject: Layer2-Accounting (IP)
We are running a Webserver for different domains, using ip-aliasing with
a 2.2.10 kernel.
The problem we are now facing is that the accounting based on ipchains,
that we are using so far actually accounts on Layer3 of the
Protocol-Stack. That means, that the data we get about what traffic is
produced on which IP can`t be directly compared to our Provider's
IP-Accounting. Is there any possibility to exactly account how much
traffic originates from which IP ?
Thanks in advance

Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 09:19:27 -0500
Ok, I got my boss to let me use Linux for our web server solution. Now he
tells me he wants to be able to do database queries and use FrontPage
extensions. I tried to get the FrontPage extensions working but couldn't
get them to work on the new version of apache and I don't think it would be
in my best interest to downgrade. I've talked him into using (if he must
have a WYSIWYG html editor) another editor.
He would also like to be able to create databases using access and query
them via our web page. I don't have much database experience but I thought
that using mySQL on the webserver and using ODBC with access that you
should be able to create a compatible database. Am I wrong on this? Is
there an easier solution?
And lastly if he's not using FrontPage I'd like to be able to set up an web
interface to the database for him. Are there any open source cgi scripts
for doing this. Sorry for the book, and sorry for the fact that most of
these questions I could probably answer if I did some searching but I'm in
somewhat of a hurry.

Do you have parallel printer support built in as well? PLIP and parallel
printer support are mutually exclusive. If you want to do both, build
both as modules and load what you need when you need it.

iCould you pls clarify this for me. Do you mean that
all chap (including chap 05 or chap md5) were not enabled or that the
MSCHAP option was not enabled in pppd? The former would be very
very surprising. I did not know w
there was even a flag in the source to allow chap to be disabled.
I would certainly call either of these a bug. ("The fact that Linux does

Subject: setting up a ppp server
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 15:15:26 GMT
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a ppp link between two PCs.
None of them has a static IP address.
I just want one PC to call the other on the phone, create a ppp link,
and then for example use ftp. I suppose the ppp connection can give two
random IP addresses to the machines, since they won't be connected to
the outside.
So, I've set up one PC to be the server, following the instructions
usually given:
I updated /etc/inittab, mgetty's mgetty.config and login.config, ppp's
ppplogin, options and options.ttySx, and /etc/passwd.
On the client I created a chat script and a connect-ppp script.
I can now connect from the client to the server, but the result is not
much satisfying:
ppp doesn't automatically start up on the server (yet mgetty's
login.config contains /AutoPPP/ ... /etc/ppp/ppplogin) if the ppp
user has /bin/bash in /etc/passwd
the server's modem immediately hangs up if the ppp user has
/etc/ppp/ppplogin in /etc/passwd
In both cases, I can't do anything between the PCs.
'ifconfig' ran on the server gives nothing (except loopback...)
on the client it gives ppp0 UP with two IP addresses.
However I can only ping the local address, the server's one can't be
reached.
Finally, the only thing I can do is to use minicom to establish the link
and then find me on the server's directories (if /etc/passwd contains
/bin/bash...), just like a telnet session.
Please help me having ppp working on the server.
All I want to have is an IP address for the server that could be
ftp-reached by the client.

Hi
I have a cnet pro110b fast ethernet card, 10/100 mbit .... I found out
through cnet that it's based on the Asix 88140 chip. And through the net, I
found out that this chip is supported by the tulip.o driver .... I modprobed
with it, and it found a card ... I recompiled the kernel, and inserted
support for the tulip.o driver ..... And it finds a card on bootup,
modprobes it, and up's it and everything ... when I run ifconfig, I have an
eth0 with the ip 192.168.1.10 ... And no errors what sp ever when it boots
up the card, it even identifies the chip as AX88140 ..... But whenever I try
to ping another ip on my network, and on the same subnet, like 192.168.1.20,
I get a 100 % packet loss, and no replies. I works fine to ping my ip
internal though, like if I ping 192.168.1.10, I get full reply ..... And
then there is another strange thing .... When I ping another on my net, the

(I know it's the wrong article for the reply, but I can't see the original
one, sorry)
We had _huge_ broadcast storms after upgrading from 2.0.36 to 2.2.9 as
well. They were caused by a bug in the IPX code of 2.2.x (probably also
2.1.x). Check your IPX interfaces with "cat /proc/net/ipx_interface", if
more than one interface is shown, this may be the cause for the storms. If
so, then configure your IPX interfaces manually (or remove all of then if
you don't need it), but be sure to use not more than one (check the
IPX-HOWTO).
good luck!
P.S. I also sent a patch to the IPX maintainer on 06/13/99 to fix it.
Since I got no answer until now, I forwarded it to Alan Cox on Tuesday. I
think this bug is really severe. If anybody wants the patch or more
information, leave me a note.

Subject: POP3 on RH 6.0 and how to Forward POP requests to another server??
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 11:26:22 -0400
Hello...
I recently installed RedHat 6.0..
hmmm nice...
First off.. It seems like the POP server is down!?... how do I get it back
up?..
I tried modifying the /etc/inetd.conf file removing the remark characters
next to the pop-3 the line..
restarted inetd... but that didn't work...
Ultimately though I would like the server to forward pop request to another
box something like a pop3-proxy... where a user pop's their mail from
another Exchange server via the linux box?... any ideas??..

Hi,
Did anyone manage yet to get the Windows2000 Beta 3 to accept Samba?
Every Idea is welcome
Thanks

Subject: Win95 pings, RedHat doesn't?!
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 11:59:25 -0400
DELL laptop with PCMCIA 3Com NIC connected to 30-node LAN or public
internet. Dual boot - win95 and RedHat 5.2.
LAN has several IPs on public internet for server machines, uses 192.168.1.*
for internal workstations.
DELL machine will boot Linux and work perfectly well on static (not DHCP)
internal network IP. Ping, apache, telnet, all good.
DELL machine will boot win95 and work on either public or private internet
IP. Can ping no problem.
When I boot it to Linux using the Public IP, it doesn't work:
PCMCIA scripts report no errors with finding and configuring NIC card
IFConfig shows both lo and eth0 up
Pinging anything other than lo gives Network Unreachable.
Win95 install only has TCP/IP installed, no netbeui
Netmask for the public IP is 255.255.255.240. This shouldn't cause any
problem though, right?
Been cold-rebooting each time.
Gateway, netmask, DNS, everything set up identically on win95 and Linux.
Yet Linux won't work, win95 will. Weird.
Anyone?
TIA
Mike
