I am thinking about building a windows admin program for users on my
networked Linix box.
Can anyone tell me will I be able to launch programs on (the networked)
Linux server from Visual Basic. i.e if there is a Vb app on a windows PC
that displays an Internet access button, when clicked will it, reference and
launch a bash script on the Linux box.
Anyone got any ideas

Subject: dump over ssh 1.2.26 (SuSE 6.1, Linux version 2.2.5)
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 16:39:27 +0200
Hello,
I want to backup machine localhost to machine remotehost.
I want to do that with dump and ssh. The backup is initiated
on the host localhost with:
dump 0ubf 64 - / | /bin/dd bs=64k | ssh remotehost "/bin/dd bs=64k
of=/dev/tape"
This works as expected and the tape on remotehost starts spinning.
When I read the dump back (locally) on remotehost with the
commmand:
restore if /dev/tape
I'll receive the following error message:
Tape block size (1) is not a multiple of dump block size (1024)
I couldn't find any explanation for that. So I tried the following
things. I wrote instead to the tape to a file on remotehost with the
command:
dump 0ubf 64 - / | /bin/dd bs=64k | ssh remotehost "/bin/dd bs=64k
of=/tmp/backup"
and read it back with
restore if /tmp/backup
And it worked. I wrote (locally) on remotehost:
dump 0uf /dev/tape /tmp
a tape an read it with
restore if /dev/tape
and ofcourse it worked too. So I have somehow contradictionary
evidences. Any ideas?
Thanks for help, Markus Wildi

Subject: win95->linux routing
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 02:53:32 GMT
I'm trying to get my spouse's Win95 box talking to my Linux box. Each
box has an ethernet card and modem. The Linux box is fine. I can ping
the ethernet card in the Win95 box OK. The problem is that the Win95
box refuses to talk to anything but its modem. Sometimes running ping
will even bring up the internet dialer for the net connection.
The ethernet adapter appears when I click the Networks icon and appears
to be configured properly for TCP/IP. It also passes its diagnostics.
I think the problem is with routing but I sure don't know how to fix
it. Under Linux I'd just run "route" and tell it to route anything to
the local network through the ethernet card. Win95 route doesn't seem
to have the same functionality.
Is this a problem with the version of Win95 I'm using? (This is the
very first release with no fixes.) Or am I just misconfiguring
something?
Thanks,
Will

Subject: Linksys again (LNE100TX)
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 21:04:00 -0600
I have seen several recent messages from people with the Linksys
10/100TX. I hope this is specific enough to solve it for all of us.
I have two computers using the LNE100TX (PCI) card (both bought last
month).
each has only one ethernet card.
they have CPUs AMD K6 and AMD K6 II, respectivly, and have recent AWARD
BIOSs.
both are running RedHat 6.0 full installation (kernel 2.2.5-15).
in Linux PING gives a 100% packet loss, but when both are booted into MS
Windows, they talk fine, so I know it's not hardware.
The tulip driver is version 0.91, I just got it off of the Linksys
linux support page.
At bootup, everything looks fine (Bringing up eth0 [OK])
ifconfig says they are both UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST
pinging the local ethernet card gives 0% packet loss, but running
ifconfig (or netstat -i)after shows only errors for them (eth0).
both computers are in eachother's /etc/hosts file (comp1 is
200.200.200.10 and comp2 is 200.200.200.12)
ifconfig verifies that the NICs have these IP addresses for the
respective computers.
route for comp1 is:
Destination Gateway Flags Genmask Iface
200.200.200.10 * UH 255.255.255.255 eth0
200.200.200.0 * U 255.255.255.0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * U 255.0.0.0 lo
200.200.200.0 200.200.200.12 UH 0.0.0.0 eth0
(the other entrys are all 0)
route for comp2 is the same except for the 10's are 12's and vice versa.
I think these are the defaults.
when pinging, occasionally the card gets caught in a loop with the
repeating error:
eth0 Transmit timed out, status ec260010 CSR12 40ald0cc resetting . . .
this is exactly the same for both computers, and will not stop until the
ethernet cable is disconnected.
I emailed linksys about this, and they told me to get a new kernel.
So I got 2.2.10, and it still does the same thing.
if this is not specific enough, *please* let me know exactly what info
would help. I have been working on this for 3 weeks.

================8<==================================
your win95 was using plain password, where your win98 & nt boxes speaks
encrypted password.
there are 2 ways to solve your problem:
1. enable password encrytion in your linux/samba box
2. make all your win boxes speaks plain text password
i know only the second way [which someone may not like it due to security
reason].
below are content of the Win98_PlainPassword.reg from
http://www.twc.com.my/samba/ftp/docs/
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
download it and merge it into your win98 box registry,
OR do it manually:
1. run regedit
2. goto [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
3. from the menu, select: Edit,New,DWORD Value
4. Key-in: EnablePlainTextPassword
5. Change it's value to 1 (in Hex)
now your win98 box speaks plain text password.

This is straight from: man bash In your example you would be directing
stderr to stdout. Also, stdout is not being redirected, if thats what you
are wanting.
Steve Cowles
SWCowles at gte dot net
==========================================================
Note that the order of redirections is significant. For example, the
command
ls > dirlist 2>&1
directs both standard output and standard error to the file dirlist,
while the command
ls 2>&1 > dirlist
directs only the standard output to file dirlist, because the standard
error was duplicated as standard output before the standard output was
redirected to dirlist.

On Redhat 6.0, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysint will execute /etc/rc.d/rc.serial, if it
exists. If you loaded the linux documentaion during your install, you can
copy rc.serial from the /usr/doc/setserial-2.15 directory into the /etc/rc.d
