I think you have 'client' and 'server' mixed-up. In X, you sit at a
machine which is running an X server. From it, you can run clients
that reside on the local machine or on a remote machine. The easiest
and most insecure way to do this is to add the remote machine to the
xhost list with 'xhost remote_machine', telnet or rlogin to the remote
machine, set your display to be 'local_machine:0' (this is shell
dependent: 'export DISPLAY=...' in bash, 'setenv DISPLAY ...' in csh),
and then start the client.
As I said, this is very insecure and really should only be used on a
private LAN. For more secure options, use ssh and see the Remote X
mini-howto.

Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 22:25:32 +0200
Hi,
I'm running RedHat 6 on a small network. I have configured the linux box to
run as "internet gateway" for a Windows98 system.
When I try to connect to my newly acquired domain through FTP from Win98, I
can connect just fine, but I can't get the directory listing (it says it
can't connect to my PPP client-side ip and port). I have tried forcing the
FTP app to passive mode with no success.
If I connect directly from the linux, then there's no problem.
All other FTP sites I have tried works just fine. Both anonymous login and
my personal account at my ISP.
Some relevant configurations:
Linux IP: 192.168.0.20
Win98 IP: 192.168.0.21
rc.local:
modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
I have read several postings and documents mentioning something about
accepting inbound packets. I have tried numerous combinations of ipchains
.-A input etc., but I can't get it to work. Please note that I'm far from
being an expert in this area, so any suggestions are more than welcome!
Thanks!

Subject: Samba Shares Folders I Didn't Set in smb.conf
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 19:02:45 GMT
Hi,
Samba shares a folder I did not specify in smb.conf, namely the /tmp
folder. Samba shows it under Network Neighborhood as public.
I think the problem is that the chmod of /tmp is 777; that is any user
on the Linux box can read and write to the /tmp folder. So, the same
rules apply to shares under Network Neighborhood. Other than
"chmod"ing the /tmp folder to 700, can I configure Samba to share only
the folders I specify in smb.conf, not folders that have chmods of
777?

Irq or I/O conflict, maybe memory on the card should be masked in bios.
(but on a dell 466/ (Le?) do you have a bios-setup to fiddle with?
The machine perform well. For beeing what it is.)
Could be a lot of thing going wrong, and if have had your go at the

Subject: tcpdump has big delays??
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 13:49:07 -0700
I'm trying to debug some network problems on a system that I'm working
with. I want to set up a sniffer to monitor packets going to and from my
machine. So I set up another linux box, and connected it to the same
network. The target machine is 192.168.72.200. So I type:
tcpdump host 192.168.72.200
and then, on other machines, do various things to 72.200; ftp, ping,
telnet, etc... at first, I thought none of those packets were showing up,
but that's not quite true - the packets show up on my tcpdump display,
but they are delayed for long periods of time; up to 10 minutes from
the time the event occurs until it shows up on the dump. What is going
on?? Did I somehow enable ip_yawn_delays or something??
The events on the actual machines are occuring quite expeditiously,
so these delays aren't on the network, they're somehow happening
in tcpdump, or on the monitor machine...
Does anyone have *any* insights on this???

Hi Stephen,

Probably you cope best with closing the socket without lingering. There
will be no RST then but the socket on the client will disappear within
2*MSL, while on the server it does disappear right after receiving the
last ACK from the client. The 2*MSL will not be a serious problem to the
client other than if it does need to reuse the same source port or does
create a establish amount of connections within a short time.

I assume the server does not send a RST because there is no data lost
during the close. Instead it does go half trough the normal
three-way-handshake.

As I wrote try a normal close first, what would be probably the cleanest
solution. If this does not help you'll have to hack the kernel.

At what did they work at when they did work? Same kind of driver, or
older one, is there any help in 'degrading' the driver? Have not
loked lately, but the 3c515.c I'v seen here (pushed as 'alfa driver'):
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c515.html
have been a '3c515.c:v0.03 3/19/97'
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c515.c
The 2.2 kernel come with the newer version you use.
Are they now set in something like a 486DX2-80, a older machine with a
lot of odd hardware, of all kinds, isa-busmastering and DMA, (I have no
clue, but if it takes to much to get it running.) And a pci-bus of
early days?
If that mix is the problem. Have you tried to connect to the machine
with a linux-box and a crossover, just to test if the nic's are alive.
Anything in tcpdump if connected to anything?
If not, and the machine itself performs good enough (what amount of
traffic would it have to take? 2Mbps? Full 10Mbps?) could the best
solution be to not use one or both nics? An put in something proven
to work, 3c509b, smc-ultra, or something pci-based? Just to get it up
and running.
I know, they are rare animals, and should be protected. :)

Your host should be setup to recognize 'ns.ulogin.com' as local. If
it is not doing that, try adding a line
Cw ns.ulogin.com
to your configuration, then restart the sendmail server.

Subject: binding two NICs
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (douglasf)
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 13:46:16 -0700
This is asked under the "I'm real new at all this but is it possible,
heading". So here goes. Is it conceivable to put two 10T NICs in a
Linux server and have them bind together on the same (or different) IP
to share the load? Sort of like the two modem dialup set. Perhaps one
set to receive only the other to transmit, or whichever one isn't busy
gets the next packet?
I have a RedHat 5.2 / 2.2.10 server running on a shared Macintosh and PC
network, and I and going to add an IDE Raid0 to the server volume this
weekend. So I got to thinking if I can strip the drives for more
through put can I do something similar to the ethernet.
This whole setup is done as a linux learning experience and as a way to
mildly upset the NT admin.
If NIC binding is possible is it a good idea?
Thanks for any info

I *think* (and could very well be wrong here) that you may actually be
experiencing a combination of masquerading and proxy problems. The
masquerading one should be a simple fix... on the firewall, make sure
module ip_masq_ftp is loaded. (This may require a 'special modules'
kernel option, I forget.) Once this is done, both active and passive
FTP should work.
As for the second one, I wouldn't have thought of this until
yesterday, when I got my ADSL modem, which, IIRC, also uses PPPoE.
Hence, when I saw your problem, I made the mental connection . . .
Maybe it's a trend amongst PPPoE providers since a bunch of megabit
lines can risk severely saturating their outgoing line to the
Internet; maybe it's just coincidence; or maybe I'm very far off base
here. :) But I think your ISP might be using a proxy server, and
denying direct links to the Internet via port 80. You can test this
by telnetting to a site you know will be up, like metalab.unc.edu,
port 80. If it says 'no route to host', you're prolly dealing with a
proxy.
In any case, I know that HTTP failed for me until I configured my
browsers to use my ISP's proxy server. Mine was pretty clear that
they used one; maybe yours expects you to install their Lose95
bloatware, which will configure your proxy for you, and doesn't really
care if you know you've been reconfigured or not. Who knows?
I hope this helps; again, I may be entirely wrong here, but the two
problems both seem to have possible explanations that are fairly
simple, so I'm taking a leap and suggesting those explanations. :)
Take care, and enjoy that speed. :) (I'm pretty much here posting this
because I've *got* that kinda speed.. it allows me to download the
list of newsgroups and postings without having to go get a coffee
while I wait.) :)

Tcp/ip and 'netbios over tcp/ip'?
(I suspect if not so, maybe netbeui ore somthing else 'win-only' is
set to handle it.)
But still, if you are connected to a hub (not switc) which gives you a
link, tcpdump should show traffic. Switching hub's (one 100Mbps side
and one 10Mbps side) could give you silence, but still, you should se
broadcast-messages.

Where do you put the hostname needed by the DHCP server.
I'm currently running 5.2 with no problems. A wuick edit
of the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup and add the

I just don't see where to put the hostname in the 6.0

Go check out http://www.znyx.com/ for other adapters. We
manufacture PCI and CompactPCI multiport adapters with up
to eight ports.
The maximum number of ports supported depends mostly on the
memory system speed, cpu, and os. Linux does support more
than eight ports if you adjust the maximum number of network
devices in the kernel. I think the file to look into was
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Space.c.

Scotty, Big Brother, and MRTG leap to mind. The price is right too. :-)
It depends on what you want to watch and how.
