Subject: DHCP problems (Linux server, Windows clients)
Date: 30 Jul 1999 11:48:12 +0100
Good morning,
I am having a very strange problem with one of our clients. We setup up a
Linux dhcpd on RH6, and basically it works fine. Static IP assignments to the
Windows clients are just dandy.
However, dynamic IP assignments don't work (from the range in dhcpd.conf).
Here is a static assignement:
Jul 27 17:20:44 proxy dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.111.77 from
00:20:35:56:e1:c6 via tr0
Jul 27 17:20:44 proxy dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.111.77 to 00:20:35:56:e1:c6
via tr0
Jul 27 17:20:44 proxy dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:20:35:56:e1:c6 via tr0
Jul 27 17:20:44 proxy dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.111.77 to 00:20:35:56:e1:c6
via tr0
Jul 27 17:20:44 proxy dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.111.77 from
00:20:35:56:e1:c6 via tr0
Jul 27 17:20:44 proxy dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.111.77 to 00:20:35:56:e1:c6
via tr0
Jul 27 17:20:54 proxy dhcpd: DHCPINFORM from 192.168.111.77
A dynamic assignment however looks like this:
Jul 27 17:22:33 proxy dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:04:ac:b0:d2:c9 via tr0
Jul 27 17:22:34 proxy dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.111.200 to 00:04:ac:b0:d2:c9
via tr0
Jul 27 17:22:34 proxy dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.111.200 from
00:04:ac:b0:d2:c9 via tr0
Jul 27 17:22:34 proxy dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.111.200 to 00:04:ac:b0:d2:c9
via tr0
There never is a DHCPINFORM from the client regarding its IP address. The
clients pop up an "Access denied.".
I am out of guesses, since the same setup works fine in our own office. Only
difference is we are not using token ring, but this shouldn't really affect
this, no?
Clients are Win98 and NT.
The relevant parts from dhcpd.conf:
subnet 192.168.111.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.111.200 192.168.111.219;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.111.255;
option routers 192.168.111.2;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.111.2;
option domain-name "foo.com";
}
Reverse and forward DNS for these addresses exists too.
Any hints?
Sincerely,
Lars Marowsky-Br�e

A few questions.
Can the ADSL be "always up", or do you pay for traffic?
Is security an issue?
Do you have "real" IP numbers, or will you use the "private range" (also
called 'dark') IP's?

Subject: ipchains in script will not execute
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 07:24:03 GMT
Hiya all, :-)
I have a firewall set up for my office. I start off with:
/sbin/ipchains -P input DENY
/sbin/ipchains -P output DENY
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
Then start allowing only those things that I wish the internal
network to see or access. This takes approximately 100 ipchain
commands to execute. If I enter these commands by hand
they all work, but if I put them in any sort of script file, I get a
whole bunch of errors and statements to use ipchains -h or
ipchains --help for more info.
If a command works by being typed in manually, is there any
reason that it would not work in a simple script? I set the executable
bit, and started the script with #!/bin/sh
In addition, I have tried it in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network file.
Added it
just before the end and I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marty.

Try:
smbclient -L computerName
eg: smbclient -L halo
you should get a list of shares. If you need to use a user name:
smbclient -L computerName -u username
then use one of those shares to connect to it ftp style:
smbclient //computerName/share [-u username] [password]
eg: smbclient //halo/privateShare -u polidore
(you can just follow that with the password if you don't want to be
promted for it)
If it has any problems resolving, you can always tell it where that
machine is....
smbclient //halo/privateShare -u polidore -I 10.0.0.23
smbmount is way cooler than smbclient... but I haven't been able to get it
to work just right, I think I broke something there on my machine, so I
won't even try to suggest the right way to use it :-)
Hope that get's ya going.

The idle option to pppd (man pppd) may help. However, the link must be idle for
the full time for it to work. If you want an absolute time limit (ie that the users
are to be connected for no more than 10 min total) then you have to write a script
which starts when pppd starts, and which shuts down pppdafter 10 min
eg, write the script
/etc/ppp/ppptimer
******************
#!/bin/sh
sleep 600
killall pppd
********************
and put
/etc/ppp/ppptimer &
into the file
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local
you might want to put a line
killall ppptimer
into /etc/ip-down.local as well so that that ppptimer script does not kill a
second ppp which was started after the first one closed before the 10 min was up.

Subject: Re: OOPS! Security Question
Date: 30 Jul 99 09:53:54 GMT
The very first thing you should do it to make sure tht your system is up
to date re the security patches. These unclosed holes are the primary way
attackers get in. (eg if you have redhat, go to www.redhat.com ->services ->updates
and download the updates for your system.)
Then, get your users to use ssh or srp to log in (telnet, ftp) so that your
internet cannot be snooped for passwords.
The go through /etc/inetd.conf, and comment out any services youdo not need.
Also set /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow so as to allow access for the
various services only from machines you trust. (eg, rlogin should only be
allowed from your local network, not from anywhere in the world, rexec should
not be allowed at all, etc)
Then mountd and nfsd shhould not be run at all unless your machine is actually
allowing its partitions to be mounted.

Howdy,
I have just set up RedHat 6.0, and want to run it as my main operating
system. On my local intranet I am running MS Proxy Server 2.0 on NT Server,
and in my current Win98 system I have the WSP (winsock proxy) Client
installed for all winsock requests (so it makes the internet seemless in
windows). How do I access the proxy server in Linux? Is no WSP Client
equivalent for linux? Is there another way of setting up linux so it can
use the proxy server? Otherwise i am restricted to the local intranet which
just ain't good enough... :-) I know the obvious answer would be to replace
NT Server with linux, but I am trying to take linux one step at a time (i am
relatively new to it)...
Any help would be greatly appreciated... And may i just say, LINUX RULES
:-)

hi,
i try to setup automount for linux using solaris-nis+ maps. i need to adopt
them to work with linux automounter. but my problem for now is, that
auto-maps on sunserver are different than what i can see from linux:
>linux > ypcat auto.master
>auto_direct
>auto_home
>-hosts -nosuid
and on master server from solaris i get:
>solaris > niscat auto_master.org_dir
>/- auto_direct
>/home auto_home
>/net -hosts -nosuid
actually nis+ works here since long time without problems. what makes me
wonder is auto.master shows parts of auto_master. that translation of "_"
to "." should be a bug? and first column of auto_master gets lost! i'm
shure ther's no oter nisserver in our local net where i could fetch wrong
maps. and these entries are not present at linuxes auto.master map.
any ideas?

Yes, indeed, that is the problem. After many
hours of futzing around with things last night, I
managed to find what was causing the problem.
The file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases is
the root of all my evil. However, I have looked at the
file and ifup-post and really don't understand why it
is causing the problem. It's trying to execute files
of the form 'ifcfg-$1:*', but I don't have anything
in the directory of that form. I know ifcfg-lo,
ifcfg-eth0, and ifcfg-eth1 are there, but there is no
colon to match the '*'. This this a bug of some sort?

Subject: Re: POP Mail
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 13:29:42 +0200
I may miss something here , but I think it's not going to work that way. He's
referring to POP mail. That means that the ISP creates a mailbox for you, which
has YOUR name. Mail is fetched by connecting to port 110 (POP3 protocol) and
you have to identify yourself with userid/password. So, if multiple users want
to use the same connection, you will need multiple POP accounts and most ISP's
charge you for that. This differs from the case where you own a domain. In that
case, your domain is delegated to you, and you will not use POP mail but SMTP
or UUCP. Your users can than pick up mail from your Linux machine, with POP
mail.
There are a couple of ways of solving this question:
1) Ask your ISP to set up multiple POP accounts. Some ISP's do this for free,
some charge you for that.
2) Registrate your own domain. Usually, this is relatively expensive for what
you want, unless your "users" are willing to share the costs..
3) Find a provider which gives a domain for free. In the netherlands and UK,
Demon does that. So, if your name is smith, your domain will be smith.demon.uk
This enables you to setup as much accounts in the domain as you like
([EMAIL PROTECTED] for example)
Hope this helps.
