I am having a similar problem with mine. When I run nslookup, I get the
following:
host yahoo.com
Address: 204.71.200.243, 204.71.200.245
*** yahoo.com can't find host: no response from server
When I manualy type in the address I get from the host command, Netscape
brings up the page. What is it trying to tell me?

Subject: "illegal port command" error when ftping over a linux router
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 15:23:12 +0200
Hello,
Strange things happen when I try to ftp from a windows'95 computer to an
ftp-server over a linux-box that works as a router.
I reach the site from my windows'95 machine, can login with my username
and password, but if I try an "ls" or "dir" command, i always get :
"500:illegal port command", and ftp hangs.
If I ftp directly from my linux-box, there is no problem.
The linuxbox routes and masquerades all ip-packets with ipchains, and is
configured that all input,output packets are accepted, and al forward
packets are masqueraded, so i don't think it's a ipchains problem.
anybody any ideas?

Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 13:55:25 +0100
Please help, I posted the message to a newsgroup a few weeks ago and didn't
get a dotty. I've scoured the web and found nothing!!!!1
I've put up with this problem for a while but now I have Go-Live on the Mac,
with a crap non-configurable time-out I need it sorted.
Logging in from another machine usually takes well over a minute. With Top
I can see in.ftp come in straight away and then just sit there, I even tried
nicing the blighter with a -20 to no effect.
The machine doesn't usually run in ideal conditions with X, Apache and more
running on a 32MB MMX. However, with just the basics, I'm left with over
10MB of real memory left and still the same problem, must be
configuration!!!
The machine is allocated a name and domain but they are rarely used. I have
no experience with DNS and haven't had the time to look into it but I soon
will. Whenever the machine is referenced it is by the IP address. I notice
'funny' things though, i.e. Netscape running on the server, pointing to a
relative local http URL, picks up the DNS name (non - internet registered -
betsy.ad - on 255.255.255.0 subnet).
My only hunch but unlikely to be the problem.
Your help is much appreciated,
thanks for reading,

Not familiar with how Netgear is set up. If I were to do what you were
doing this is how I would proceed. Throw together a 166 mhx machine 32 megs
ram if you want, but not necessary, for Linux 16 will do fine. Two NIC's
different types would make it easier. One NIC is for MediaOne and the other
goes to your hub. Run socks5 from NEC to protect your network. You would
use sockscap clients to access the internet through the proxy and with only
two machines you would see no performance problems.
I have done this for small business several times and it is a huge cost
saver. 25 users - still not big performance problem through the Linux
machine (well OK, those are usually a little beefier machine) but I think
for home a 166 would be more than plenty.

Reply-To: "Mike Kokinda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
We are experiencing a problem with Java servlets not being able to reach our
AS400. These exist on Linux (RH6.0) using WebSphere as the application
server (2.0 std add.). The servlets work on test network - NT machines but
return error when run the same way on Linux. What kind of differences
should we look for between the two? (NT and LINUX )
The network has a DHCP server of which the LINUX server is not in the scope
and the AS400 server is excluded - but the IP address is within the scope.
Could this cause the problem? You can ping the AS400 machine by name from
the Linux machine (AS400 was added to hosts list on Linux server).
Any interest and experience in this area would be appreciated. By the
way...how do you make a Linux server show up in a Microsoft Network?
Thanks in advance.....

Are you sure that your /etc/hosts.{allow|deny} are set up
properly? This can be tricky at times ... try checking your
setup with 'tcpdcheck' and 'tcpdmatch', they are part of the
TCP wrappers distribution (in Slackware, they live in
/usr/sbin/real-daemon-dir). If 'tcpdcheck' reports errors,
have a look at 'man 5 hosts_access' and 'man 5 hosts_options'.

Just to verify that this is *not* a problem with the hosts.allow and hosts.deny
files, I ran tcpdchk and tcpdmatch. tcpdchk reported no errors, and the
following was output from tcpdmatch:
% tcpdmatch in.telnetd liu.nrrc.ncsu.edu
client: hostname liu.nrrc.ncsu.edu
client: address 152.1.72.72
server: process in.telnetd
access: granted
However, I was looking through the log files (/var/log/messages and
/var/log/secure) and the following error appeared in the messages file:
Aug 2 17:06:09 joey login: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM liu.nrrc.ncsu.edu FOR
(null), Error in service module
I suspect this is generated because the connection gets closed before I can
enter a username (hence the "FOR (null)"), but I'm not sure.

Haha! :) This was so simple :) I feel a bit idiot asking such a basic
question, now...
The mistake a made is the following: I use a terminal emulator on NT to
access my linux masquerade, and after launching my program in
background, with "&", I always disconnected from the server without
doing an "exit". I used a button at the top of my window to disconnect,
and apprently, this does not allow my programm to stay alive after I
have gone... This made me think the program was just working in
background, but wasn't disconnected from the shell at all. Now, with
an "exit", everything is OK!

I wouldn't assume you played with firewalling, but I noticed some really

to make sure it's there and running (I don't understand why, but you can

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to setup a pc that will be running both qpage for paging,
and hylafax for faxing. Both setups will access the same modem. It
seems that one or the other programs is regularily locking the modem
and won't allow the other access to the modem. For example the modem
is set on /dev/ttyS1. For qpage to access the device we've set the
access to crwxrwxrwx, otherwise it errors out. After a couple minutes
the permissions revert to crw------- with uucp as the owner, retaining
the admit group which we've setup for it. I need to prevent whatevers
reverting the permissions. A lock file is likewise dropped
into /var/spool/qpage. I'm aware that lockfiles are necessary to
prevent device contention, but in this case there doesn't seem to be
anything accessing the device.
I'd appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,

I know that this can be done IF mymachine, mail, www, and ftp all have
separate IP addresses. You'd have to multi-home your ethernet card
(read the Net-3 HOWTO) and set up a firewall to block traffic coming
on the wrong ports to the wrong addresses (the Firewall HOWTO).
Maybe it could be done if they're all CNAMEs for one address. I don't know.

Hi!
I've got a problem with my ISDN networking setup. I'm using
isdn4k-utils-3.0beta2 and a Teles S0 16.3 ISDN card.
On startup I set up a device named ippp0 using the following commands:
modprobe hisax
/sbin/isdnctrl addif ippp0
/sbin/isdnctrl eaz ippp0 22
/sbin/isdnctrl addphone ippp0 out 00191011

/sbin/ipppd file /etc/ppp/ioptions.t-online
(My HiSax options are in /etc/conf.modules)
ioptions.t-online contains:
/dev/ippp0
user "username"
debug
defaultroute
Before I had kernel version 2.1.111 and everything worked without
problems. Now I have updated it to 2.2.8 and ipppd doesn't create the
default route anymore. I have to add it myself and when a connection is
opened and closed again, the default route I added is gone.
Do you think this is an issue of ipppd or the kernel? May an update to a
higher kernel version help?
Thanx in advance,

| manage a linux server from a remote browser (or even a local browser
| although that makes less sense as you are in X and presumably X management
| tools are available) I have a number of application servers that do not
| have X installed, and a couple that do, my 'desktop' machine is actually a
| laptop running WinNT, and I run a windows X-Server to connect to those
| machines with X running, and telnet into the others to do sysadmin tasks. I
| have been experimenting with perl and have created a script to do the most
| common task (add/mod/del users) with a web interface, and am thinking of
| expanding it to cover more tasks, but don't want to reinvent the wheel.
| Any feedback would be appreciated.
This might be overkill, but take a look at Ganymede at
http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2.
Ganymede is a system for network directory management.. it can handle
things like adding/removing/editing users, groups, NIS maps, DNS,
printers, etc.
Anything where you're basically editing network directory entries can
be handled by Ganymede. If you want a web interface that will let you
invoke arbitrary scripts to do arbitrary edits to arbitrary config
files (the total telnet replacement concept), Ganymede won't be the
best thing, but for a lot of things you can make it do what you want.
