Can Anybody recommend using Apache over Squid as means to load balance
multiple web servers on cahce content?
If the two are similar has anybody done any bench marks comparing squid
against apache?
Is Apache a more reliable server than squid?

Disclaimer: I'm pretty new to this, but I'll try to summarize what I did.
compile the .c file into a .o file. use the command in the comments at the
bottom of the file.
then use the resulting module by following these directions:
http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-10.html#modules
you can see if the module is now working by using the ifconfig command.
then go to the NET-3-HowTo for info on setting up software.

A more easy way IMO would be registering a misc character device using
misc_register(9). Create a device file with major 10 and minor
according to the value you gave misc_register.
You can define what happens when a user program reads from/writes to
the file, and you can define ioctl(2) commands for the device (and a
lot more, but these are the most useful).

Check to see that /etc/resolv.conf exists.
If it doesn't, create it and put the correct dns ip addresses for your ISP
in it.

Howdy folks,
I was hoping someone had some experience with setting up BIND for a private LAN that
had an intermittent PPP dialup connection with the rest of the internet. I would like
the proxy on the private lan to be authoritative for that private domain but then
forward all DNS queries outside of that private domain to my ISP'sDNS servers. I have
it setup right now so that everything is forwarded.
let me know if you have any ideas.

I can't get Samba to work, possibly because of errors in my smb.conf file.
I'm trying to redo it using the SWAT tool. But that's brought an
interesting issue to light. SWAT creates its version of the smb.conf file
in /etc/smb.conf. My previous effort was at /etc/samba.d/smb.conf. This is
confusing. Does it matter which directory the file is in? Are there any
directories it can't be in? What happens if I have two or more of them
scattered about the computer? Thanks.

Subject: How to get mail to be forwarded to a different domain? (long)
Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 12:22:59 -0400
We use a Red Hat 5.2 box at work as a mail server and DNS for our domain
as well as for several of our customers. I just recently set up a new
Red Hat 6 server for a customer to be a secondary DNS and a mail server
for their own domain (only). I've got DNS working (unless my DNS
configuration is the cause of the problem I'm about to mention), but I
can't get mail forwarding to that domain to work right.
Let's say that my company's domain is foo.com. This customer's domain
is customer.com. I have set the MX record in the zone file for
customer.com to point to the new server at the customer site. This
seems to be set up correctly, as I can do an nslookup (with "set
type=mx") on customer.com and the output looks correct. I have the
sendmail.cw file on both systems set to what seems would be correct.
I've removed all of the entries pertaining to customer.com from our
server, and added them to the customer server (the lines on the
customer's server are:
hostname.customer.com
customer.com
mail.customer.com
dns.customer.com
which are all of the names it's known as). www.customer.com is still on
our server, however.
Our server is the one that is actually directly connected to the
Internet through a firewall (with IP masquerading). The other has
access to the Internet through this firewall. When I send e-mail from
either of these Linux boxes to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it goes to the correct
place. I can also send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from either box and it
works correctly. However, when I try to send e-mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from my PC at work, it immediately tells me that the
user does not exist (if I don't have that user ID created on our server)
or it sends it to that user on our server (if the user ID exists on our
server). That is, it's obviously not getting forwarded to the
customer's mail server.
I'm baffled by this. I can't figure out why e-mail would be properly
transferred when mail is sent from either server, but mail does not get
sent to the customer's mail server when mail is sent from a different
machine.
Before trying this with the customer's server, I created a test box (Red
Hat 5.2--this was before RH6 was out) and set up the exact same
situation with another domain that we own for ourselves (say,
foo2.net). As far as I can tell, the setup on hostname.foo2.net is
completely analogous to the setup on the one I just set up
(hostname.customer.com), and it works flawlessly, while the customer's
mail server does not. I even upgraded this test box to Red Hat 6, and
it still works flawlessly.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I've already spent quite
a bit of the customer's time (and money) trying to get this working, and
I don't know how much more money they'll be willing to pay for this.
Thanks.

you may not have set your ipfwadm script to allow ping through. I cant

Subject: Re: password problems with samba and windows 98 clients
Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 16:31:14 +0100
I am a bit of a newbie, (a Unix pro, but new to Linux).
I have two Win 98 Pcs connected to Redhat 5.2 using user level security. It
did not work first time, so don't give up, keep trying.
For the record Windoze 98 uses encrypted passwords so set the SAMBA smb.conf
as below :-
workgroup = <Your Win 98 Workgroup name>
hosts allow = 169.254.118. (Use your IP here, the missing entry allows
any machine on the workgroup to access Linux)
security = user (or it could be share, but it MUST match the PC share set
up)
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
local master = yes
domain master = yes (NOT if you have an NT server)
domain logons = yes
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
default case = lower
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
#The next bit will let you at least let you see /tmp
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes
Also make sure that you have the file /etc/smbpasswd its kind of vital. All
SAMBA users MUST exsist as normal Linux users (set these up in the noramal
way). Then (while logged into Linux as root) add the users to SAMBA using
the command :-
smbpasswd -a fred (ok so its not a very original name)
then you will be asked for the old password (just type enter) and then the
new password that you want to use.
The above works, I got it right out of my smb.conf file.
The bigest problem seems to be how the Win PC's are configured, it took me
just over a week to get Linux right and nearly three to get Mr Gate's
monster to co-operate.
Oh by the way DO NOT be tempted to edit the Win registry to set passwords to
plain text if you EVER intend to use the PC for access to the internet. Its
not nescessary and it is one of the big Windoze security holes.

Hello all-
I have physically installed an ethernet card in my system and am trying
to configure it for Linux (I am using Red Hat 6.0).
I think I next need to configure and rebuild the kernel - is this the
correct action or is there an easier way around this - or would it just
be easier to reinstall Linux (I remember during the setup it asking if I
wanted to configure the OS for a LAN).
If rebuilding the kernel is the way to go, where are the best sources of

Thanks much.
