Also, check the man pages for ftpaccess.

I am trying to telnet to my computer and login as root. I know this is a

Anyways, I read somewhere that I need to edit the list of ttys in

Is this all I need to change?

You need more help and direction than I think you can get from a
newsgroup. Try
www.linux.org
and look for the HOWTO's under support. IP-Masquerading, ethernet, PPP,
etc. These should point you in the right direction.

Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 06:14:47 GMT
My system uses a PCI based NIC 32 bit which can auto config
PNP. When I boot into Linux Mandrake 6.0 it shows the interface
card IRQ and the card HW address.
It continues showing eth0
but then shows a message
"determining IP Information
for eth0 OPERATION FAILED
What IP info is the system looking for?
Do I need to reconfigure my netcfg?
Did I use the wrong IP address?
Whats up? Any one able to figure this out?
I looks like the card gets detected OK.
So the only thing I can think of is my config
is wrong.

Subject: How to add a second NIC to a working Linux system???
Stupid new user question:
I want to add a second network card to my functioning Linux RedHat 6.0
system, which has a first ethernet card installed and running my cable
modem. I now want to add a second card to set up an internal LAN.
However, I can't seem to locate any obvious way to do this (ie _ADD_ a
card) in Linux, other than doing a full reinstall. Even then, I don't
know whether the install will pick up both cards for me. I am quite
happy to do a full reinstall, but there must be a better way (?)
Therefore, two questions:
1 - will the RedHat 6 installation install both cards for me?
2 - what is the direct way to add another network card?
Any E-mailed help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw this message before but there was no answer so I will try to

I'm running squid on a linux box which is a gateway to the internet for
a class C network.
Http browsing works ok but if I try to access an external news server
or email server it doesn't work.
What should I do in order to allow this ?
If I don't run squid I can access both news servers and email servers.
I didn't find this problem addressed in the squid documentation.
Is there anyone that can help with this ?
Thanks in advance,

Dear Vidar,
Thanks a lot for your detailed advice. I'm still having problems,
though. When I use the ifup eth0 command I get the response "delaying
eth0 initialization". I have no idea what this means, why
initialization is being delayed or how to tell it not to delay it.

I have a small ethernet-based TCP/IP network, as follows:
(2) Pentium-based Win98 workstations
(1) Pentium-based Win95 print server
(1) Pentium-based Linux box (RH 6.0)
All contain NE2000-compatible RealTek 10Mb ethernet cards, connected
via Cat-5 cable to an 8-port mini-hub. Each Win9x PC can see (and ping)
the other Win9x PCs, but none can ping or telnet to (or be ping'd from) the
Linux box.
Running ifconfig from command line shows me the MAC address of the NIC
card, so I know that's working.
Static IP addresses: Linux: 192.19.200.1
Win98 #1: 192.19.200.2
Win98 #2: 192.19.200.3
Win95: 192.19.200.4
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.19.200.254 (as set by
Linux install)
I have checked all cables, and the hub; all are working properly.
Much thanks in advance for any/all assistance..

Hi:
According to recent newsgroup messages, some of you are having success with
EQL. If you are, would you have a minute to share some information.
I've loaded the eql module and set it up with ifconfig and route. But
eql_enslave produces a bash error everytime I try to run it: cannot execute
binary... I downloaded eql_enslave from the metalab site several times to
make sure file corruption wasn't the problem. The code was compiled for a
much earlier kernel version. Tried to recompile it, but files are missing
from the current distribution (RHL 6.0). Suspect a conflict with the 2.2.5
kernel, but don't know where to go next for a newer version of eql_enslave
if that's what I need.
If your eql_enslave is running, where did you get it and what version is it?
Did you have to do anything to get it running?
Thanks for your help.

We're using wu-ftpd-2.5.0-2 on RedHat 6.0. The server is working
fine, but we have noticed the following problem:
After several days of operation, there will be many 'leftover'
in.ftpds. We allow 100 users at a time and this is resulting in users
being denied access to the site even though there are only 3-4 active
connections.
If you do a ftpshut followed by a killall in.ftpd, then all is fine
for several more days.
Once the problem develops, a ps shows:
# ps ax | grep in.ftpd

A Windows machine finds the PDC with a broadcast (which will not work in
this case) or via a properly configured WINS server. I'm not going to get
into that, as you probably don't have access to the WINS server to configure
it. How to hack aroun dit is make the following file in your Windows
directory called LMHOSTS (no extension):
<ip_address_of_pdc> <NETBIOS_name_of_PDC> #DOM:<domain_name>
It may also help to add a HOSTS file in the same directory, containing
everything up to (but not including) the #.
This is by no means a complete reference on what you can do with LMHOSTS or
WINS, but it should get you running.

Use IPSec. there are at least 3-4 IPSec clients for windows. There
is a good IPSec implementation for Linux (2.0.x in v1.0 and 2.2.x
kernels in the current snapshot) called FreeSWAN. Do a search for it
and you'll get what you need...

Just put your shell script at your mentioned directory and use
update-rc.d to maintain the symlinks.
