We have a RED-HAT 6.0 Machine and A windows 98 machine connected together.
We have only ONE POP account and we like to have the setup like following:
1. though not online all the messages sent from WIN98 machine to be sent to
Linux machine and spooled. When the linux machine goes online all the
messages must be sent.
2. when downloading mails , all the mails must be stored in the linux
machine and later the mails should be seen by win98 offiline.
3. internal E-Mail messages from linux to win98 and win98 to linux must be
sent/reecived.
Please send us the methods and codes by which this can be done .

Subject: PPTP won't authenticate through ipmasq
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 07:30:38 GMT
Hello....
I'm running the 2.2.5 kernel. I've tried to follow all of the HOW-TOs and
visited John Hardin's web site frequently, but I can't quite get PPTP to
work. I have an NT box internally going out through a masquerading Linux
box to a MS VPN server on the Internet. I have Gordon Chaffee's 2.2.x
patch applied and the kernel seemed to recompile okay. And I have PPTP
installed on my NT box. I've tested it by putting the NT box outside of
the Linux firewall directly onto the Internet and I've verified that it
will connect correctly to the VPN server.
Once I put the NT box back inside the firewall, here's what I'm seeing. It
seems to find the VPN server okay, and it attempts to authenticate, but it
never does. I don't know why, and the eventual error (which is more like a
timeout) just says a session couldn't be established.
The only thing I've read in any of the HOW-TOs that might relate to my
problem from a troubleshooting standpoint is that in one place there is a
reference to grepping for masq in the /proc/ksyms file. I don't see the
ipfw entries mentioned as being present in a correctly configured PPTP
arrangement. If this is an issue, then I don't know how I'm supposed to go
about fixing it. Did the kernel patch fail? How do I tell? What do I do
about it?
Any assistance on this matter would be appreciated.

The other possibility is that your ISP isn't providing the PTR records
for your IP address. Here is how to find out using LINUX:
1) First, determine what your IP address is by logging in as root and
typing "ifconfig". This should spit our your IP address of the moment.
2) Start nslookup
3) Type "set type=any"
4) If your IP address is 1.2.3.4, type "4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa"
NSLOOKUP should then give you information about your system name and the
nameservers that service you. If you don't get a name back, then you
need to ask your ISP to update their DNS database with the correct
information.

Subject: dhcpcd, RH/Mandrake 6.0, and @home
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 07:35:17 GMT
Hello, everyone:
Well, I think it's safe to ask for help now. I've spent days beating
bushes, reading documentation and looking through Usenet archives. I've
even spoken with my local guru, but he uses static IP and didn't have
much that he could offer me that I hadn't already tried.
Here is my situation:
I'm running an AMD K6/2 400 on an Asus P5A motherboard. The machine is
running Windows 98, Windows NT Server 4, and Mandrake 6.0. I have @home
cable internet service. My ethernet card is a 3Com Etherlink XL TPO
(PCI) (that's a 3c590 I think).
The network works just fine in Windows 98 and NT.
When I first installed Linux about six weeks ago, it too worked fine. I
was really impressed with how easily things set up, since I had tinkered
with Solaris 7 and had no luck getting it to work with the ISP. I didn't
use the Linux for about three weeks, and then on Friday I logged in
again, intending to install some new applications.
This time, however, the network did NOT work. On boot I got a red
"[FAILED]" after the eth0 init. It was unable to configure IP. Things
got increasingly strange. After fiddling quite a bit I realized that the
network card was not initializing because Linux wasn't even detecting
it. Reinstalling Linux to a blank partition didn't help. The problem
remained.
Fortunately, that problem has now been resolved. The card is detected,
and starts up (the "PC" light on my cable modem is now lit again). But
this hasn't solved my IP troubles. I have tried everything I can think
of, and I'm nearing exhaustion =) I've tried setting up static IP using
the winipcfg information obtained from Win98 - no luck.
When I try to start dhcpcd (whether I had my @home hostname or not), it
cooks for about 60 seconds and then gives me an "operation failed". When
I do a dmesg |tail I see this message, sometimes repeatedly:
eth0: Tx ring full; refusing to send buffer
I've heard of people having troubles with pump, so I wanted to remove it
using kpackage -- but it gives me an error dialog saying "pump refers to
multiple packages" or something to that effect. I tried installing an
update, but that didn't solve the problem either.
My DNS are correctly specified. The only thing I can ping is my
loopback. When I do an "ifconfig eth0" I don't see any IP information at
all (no 0.0.0.0 for example). Usually I see only "BROADCAST", sometimes
"UP BROADCAST MULTI", but still no IP information. I have reset my cable
modem umpteen times... unplugged it even. I have released my leases in
Win98 before rebooting to Linux. No luck there either.
Some info that might point towards a solution: I tried to think of the
one thing that had changed since I last successfully used Linux with my
ISP. I have been doing some heavy display card troubleshooting in the
past few weeks, and that required that I make numerous changes to my
BIOS settings. Thinking this might be the cause I reset the BIOS to
Setup defaults before reinstalling Linux... unfortunately, that hasn't
helped.
I'm new to the operating system, so bear with me. I'd really appreciate
any assistance any of you could provide. Hopefully someday in the future
I'll be able to reciprocate.
Remove the spamshield to reply... cc if possible... thanks =)

I have a Netgear FA310TX NIC in my linux box and although it worked fine
with the default tulip driver I found I got better performance when I used
the updated driver. Its a tulip driver but it's been modified so it's
specific to the card. Why not try getting the linux driver from kingston. If
not try using the netgear (http://netgear.baynetworks.com) driver. It's very
easy to install, just compile it (using the script) and copy it over the
location of the current module file.

David:
Not sure if this is of help since I'm running the older kernel (2.0.36),
but are you sure your firewall rules are relaxed enough to allow in-bound
PPTP traffic? Your ISP obviously supports GRE or you wouldn't be able to
connect at all. Are you sure you're really running the patched kernel? (I
booted from a floppy until I was confident that the patched kernel was OK).
You might also try e-mailing the guys handling the VPN HowTO - I think they
were pretty helpful. -- Bill

Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 07:47:18 GMT
Hi,
I have downloaded the Quicktime 4 Streaming Proxy, and installed it on
my Linux masquerade. Now I would like to make it run in background,
just like a deamon, so I can disconnect from the shell without killing
it. There is no such option in the program, apparently.
I have code here I could add to the proxy, which does what I want, but
I wonder if there isn't a Unix command for detaching a program from the
shell?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Stephen Satchell)
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 06:50:59 GMT
You can assign four different IP addresses to a single Ethernet interface,
and then use IPCHAINS to sort out who is doing what to whom. You need to
define a DNS, or have your ISP define the subdomains for you. This is the
easiest way.
The really good reason to do this is that at a later time you can easily
move the different services onto different servers just by adding the
computer and "moving" the IP address from your all-in-one to the new box.
No mess with the ISP's DNS database (that makes them happy).

Well, the sense of telnetting myself is just to test whether my network,
inetd and tcpd-daemons work.
I can ping other hosts and I can ping myself, and I can access the
Apache running on my Linux-box from other hosts of my network and from
the Linux-box itself. But this all I can do, I can't ftp myself or from
antoher host and I can't access the nameserver with nslookup. What I
suspect is, that lots of ports are locked for some reason. And I don't
know how to fix that.

could it be a war for master-browsing? Or some software on the NT server
broadcasting 'special' requests? Some LAN management software?
Could someone tell if SNMP could cause that?
Tell us more about the NT server, any PDCs? That would not be considered

Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 10:24:41 GMT
What you are supposed to do is download the sb1kinst.tar.gz file, copy the
file to a Linux formatted floppy, and then on the floppy in Linux do a 'tar
xzvf sb1kinst.tar.gz'. Once the files uncompress, you then run
'sb1kinst.sh' from the floppy.
The installation script does many of the steps you are trying to manually.
One of the most important things is to make sure the card is configured
correctly to the Linux system. This means examining and modifying the
/etc/isapnp.conf file. This has all the irq's and i/o addresses for your
ISA cards.
Checkout the 'isapnp' command. i.e.'isapnp isapnp.conf'. You can dump your
system settings vis 'pnpdump > isapnpdump.conf' and examine the file.

A better way of doing this is to look in /etc/rc.d. In /etc/rc.d/init.d,
you'll find the scripts to start and stop daemons. The directories
/etc/rc.d/rc*.d contain links to these scripts for each of the runlevels.
The names of the links start with an S (start) or a K (kill) preparatory to
a number. The combination of the first letter with the number which daemons
to start and stop and in which order. I'm running Red Hat 6.0. They provide
a tool (/usr/sbin/setup) to enable and disable system services. Also, you
might want to take a look at KDE's System V init editor.
If you want to stop and start services manually, try using the scripts in
/etc/rc.d/init.d with one of the parameters start, stop, or status.

I have some files on the Linux box which are readable only for root and

Samba is running as root but I guess it checks the permissions against
the user's (non root) permissions. I agree that this is unsecure but the
files I'm accessing are automatically created on the Linux box with read
for root only permissions and I don't want to change this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

1) When I select my location within my state...the script does not accept

2) When I select a different location....the script still gives me the
error during the make on the sb1000.c
