Subject: mail server
Date: Thu, 05 Aug 1999 13:27:31 +0200
Hi,
I want to learn something more about web servers/ftp servers etc. I have a cable
modem with a static IP, installed a pop server (not for sure) a web server and
an anonymous ftp server, and I want any user to receive mail, like
john@[ip-address]. I use RH6.0, Netscape and my hosts file looks like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
194.85.238.82 local.domain mail.domain local
Is this the correct way to do such a think? Should I use a DNS server,
and how? I already read the howto's like NET-3, ethernetcard, etc., but they
where not of much help.
My apache web server and the ftp server worked already after installation. Very
simple! Only my mail isn't working (yet). I installed the imap*.rpm package, and
I uncommented the pop and imap lines from /etc/services. The ipop3d and imapd
files are available in /usr/sbin.
I've done a telnet mail.domain 110 and the message was OK... ready.
What's the next step?
Surfing on the web isn't a problem either.
Should I setup Netscape with a POP server or with a IMAP server? Where is the
incoming mail located? Should I provide Netscape with this info? Can I send
messages with my own mail server?
Sorry for such a newbie question, but we all have to learn it!
Cheers,
Newbie Jan from Holland

I dont know for sure but I think I remember hearing that even a 486 DX/2
66 is fast enough to route right up to a T1 leased line connection. This
of course means your 120 is more than enough.
I used one (a 486 DX4/120) for my 56K modem connection while running
other things on it such as Apache, The Palace Personal Chat Server, Using
it as a Printer Server for my LAN, Using it as a mini file server for my
LAN and the only thing that ever stalled the routing (it never actually
slowed down, it was all or nothing it seemed) was watching MPEG files
with a high bitrate. Bearing in mind this was probably eating all the
bandwidth a 486 had on IDE (they arnt really very fast for IDE, not like
Pentiums) I dont think that was bad.
So, yes, I think its fast enough.
Whew, I could have said that in a lot less words.

Huh????
I would have thought the same command you use when on the machine locally,
ppp-go / ppp-off.
Of course these might not work unless you are logged in as root (usually
disabled for Telnet) but there are ways to change permissions to get this
to work as any user. No idea how secure it is if you do though but I dont
see the problem with someone telnetting into your server from the internet
and doing a ppp-off. Would be rather dumb and the chances of them getting
in is unlikely anyway.

Hello!
Does anybody know if it is possible to connect to a computer on a
network where all the computers have "black" addresses (they are not
valid on the real net). All the computers on our network use the
gateways ip address, hence maybe 50 computers share an ip address out to
the net, but inside the network all computers have different adresses.
But if I have a computer outsied our network, how can I get into a
specific computer inside the network? For example to ftp from outside
the network into a compter in the network.

Hi,
How on earth do you configure ProFTPD to allow users (with a home
directory) to log on with their username and password?
I've tried most everything by now, and everything I did in the
configuration file just killed my anonymous access, but gave nothing in
return.
I just want them to be able to connect to my machine with their username
and password, and automatically take them to their home dir.

i have a leased line router(loan and cannot be configured) to connect to the
internet. i use ipchains (redhat 6.0) to setup packet filtering. since both
network card in the firewall are at the same subnet, i have to configured it
as a ethernet bridge(learn from bridge how-to). my problem is that the
firewall works fine except when a packet is sent and received from the same
subnet of the fireall, the ipchains rules are not applied to it. that means
the packets are not filtered as the firewall is transparent to them. e.g. i
can ping to the router from the email server with all the policy is DENY.
can anyone tell me how i can solve this problem. i find this configuration
very unsecured.
thanx.

Subject: Re: Traffic Shaping
Hi Todd.
You can do this quite easily with Alexey Kuznetsov's tc and ip software
on 2.2 kernels. It works well.
Go to ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing and get his latest iproute2
packages.
Make it. Install it. Find a script called cbq.init ( aleyxeys) and set
it up in your rc.d dir to run in run level 3. It reads a set of files in
/etc/sysconfig/cbq which are a bit nasty to set up, but read the source
and youll be fine. Particularly bear in mind that you regulate traffic
on an interface that you can "transmit" on - so you regulate in traffic
on eth0 in your system, and output traffic on eth1. Decide which ip you
want to regualate, and follow his ruling convention in those set up
files. Magic. Works well.
You might also check out Linux J. 68:pp40-44 for a nice introductory
article on how to do this.
Good Luck !

Now, why in the world would you want to boot between them? Both are "the same"
Ie both use the same kernels, and have teh same programs which can run on

on redhat instead.
Or is it that under SUSE you are running an older kernle of older libc?

This option sets the default command for the boot
loader the next time it executes. The boot loader
will then erase this line: this is a once-only com-
mand. It is typically used in reboot scripts, just
before calling `shutdown -r'.
So each time youwant redhat, you do, in SUSE
lilo -R redhat
and redhat will be booted and next time suse will be. (Note I have not tried this
so do not know if it will work)

The routing table will determine which interface to use. So, if you have
eth0 and eth1 both on network w.x.y.z, and eth0 is your default interface,
no matter what you do, the ping will go out eth0.
As for the -i option....I don't think it works (or I never could get it to
work).

Answer: it depends.
If you're on a switch, then the threshold should be fairly low. If you're on
a hub or on a true shared wire, then it may be high.
The actual count of collisions is not usually of interest, but rather the
number of collisions per packet sent. For example, my Linux box does not show
any collisions, for 1-2 million packets sent. My workstation at work (a
Digital VAXstation 4000/90, on a switch) shows 1600 collisions with 5 million
packets sent.
Are you seeing a problem with your network?
Remember, collisions are not a Bad Thing. Excessive collisions, however, are.
So, post some numbers.

Firstly, tcpwrappers won't protect you from a port-scan. You'd need to
install a firewall to do that. All tcpwrappers does is request that a
connection identify itself and then check the reply with the hosts.allow
and hosts.deny files.
Secondly, you should really put an ALL:LOCAL entry into your hosts.allow
file. This will allow you to connect to your own services, and is a Good
Thing. In order to block access to these servers from the outside world,
you must edit your inetd.conf file so that inetd runs the tpcd server
rather than (say) in.pop3d. The in.pop3d server then becomes a parameter
passed to tcpd so that tcpwrappers knows what service to run (if
required)
e.g.
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.pop3d

I've used irq=10 io=0x300 on a lot of ne2000 cards, and I haven't had a
problem yet. It's a standard in my small world I guess.

This isn't likely an initial LCP timeout unless the timeout is changed
in /etc/ppp/options or perhaps a /etc/ppp/options.<ttyname> file.
Add the debug option to the pppd argument list and look at the LCP link
negotiation messages for clues.
