Subject: HELP! with Linux Modem sharing mini-HOWTO
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 10:49:10 -0500
Does any know anything about the Linux Modem sharing mini-HOWTO
that can be found at:
http://http://amelia.experiment.db.erau.edu/ldp/HOWTO/mini/Windows-Modem-Sha
ring.html
I have followed all the directions on the HOWTO to enable modem sharing on
a linux box for the non-profit organization in which I work.
1) I created the modemd script at /usr/sbin/modemd
#!/usr/bin/perl
select((select(STDOUT), $| = 1)[$[]);
select((select(STDIN), $| = 1)[$[]);
exec 'cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyS2';
die '$0: Cant exec cu: $!\n';
2) I installed the binary rpm package - uucp-1.06.1-8 to have cu
3) lines added to /etc/inetd.conf
/etc/inetd.conf like:
#
# modem daemon
#
modem stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/modemd /dev/ttyS2
4) line added to /etc/services
modem 2006/tcp modemd
5) Reset inetd process by typing
ps -ax | grep inetd
kill -HUP 415
I then verify that it is working by typing
telnet localhost modem
The response, is an error stating:
cu: open (/dev/ttyS2): Permission denied
cu: /dev/ttyS2: Line in use
Things I know:
1) I am root
2) /dev/ttyS2 is the proper setting with the proper irq for the internal
modem
3) when I do the test the modem is not in use (minicom works fine)
4) I use diald and ip-masquarade and they work great
I use Redhat 6.0, with a recompiled kernal done on my machine at home using
Mandrake 6.0. I have stripped much of the computers excess (unneeded)
packages to save space. Diald and ip-masquarade work fine, as does other
network processes (telnet, ftp, etc.)
I also tried this on my machine at home and got the exact same result --
permission denied.
I would certainly appreciate any advice you might be able to give.
Thank you.

The noccp will prevent negotiation of CCP compression of any sort. The VJ IP
header compression is a separate thing and can still be negotiated. If you
are getting some connects that negotiate a CCP compression and others that
don't then you're likely connecting to different boxes at the ISP with
different CCP capabilitites.
If the CCP messages that are logged when there is no common CCP algorithm
bother you then you can shut off CCP with noccp, and it's doubtful if
you'll notice any performance difference assuming the modem does error
correction with compression. Removing the pppd debug option will likely
prevent the messages from being logged too.
Neither of my ISPs have a CCP algorithm in common with pppd; pppd only uses
freely available algorithms that don't need a license. Microsoft only uses
patented algorithms, of course.

Subject: Adaptec 1542b SCSI NFS install trouble w/ SuSE 6.1
Date: 5 Aug 1999 17:30:40 GMT
Help. I'm trying to install S.u.S.E. 6.1 on a machine without a cdrom
drive via NFS. The NFS server box is setup properly and everything works
fine if I try the installation with an IDE controller/drive in the box I'm
intalling to. However, if I try the installation with an Adaptec 1542b
connected to 2 SCSI drives in that same box things don't work. The SCSI
module loads from the boot floppy and installs with troubles - no errors
and the system sees the controller and both drives. I then choose NFS
install and enter the parameters. The box then mounts the remote
filesystem and begins loading the data to start the install. When it's
finished loading nothing happens, the installation doesn't start, no
errors are reported (at least none that I can see) - just returns to the
menu where you can choose the type of installation process you'd like.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
tom

I had similar problems. How I fixed it in Mandrake 6.0 but I assume it will
also work in RH6.0
first get dhcpcd version 1.3 or > then in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
edit
the ifup script to use dhcpcd (just replace pump and arguments with

Subject: apache vhost with cgi-bin
Date: Thu, 05 Aug 1999 15:10:46 GMT
Hi,
I'm wondering if I can have a vhosted site that has two cgi-bin's... one
that is public, one for that user's private scripts.
I need to have the private one for a webshell type app I came upon and
love... but I also want to provide a public cgi-bin with a group of
standard scripts (formmail, guestbook, counter...).
I have to use the user and group directives for my vhosts because of the
webshell script:
<VirtualHost IP.add.re.ss>
User web1
Group vhost
ServerName sub.my.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/web1/public_html
AccessFileName .htaccess
ScriptAlias /private-cgi/ /home/httpd/privatecgis/web1/
#what I'm thinking should work:
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>
I also have a directory defined as:
<Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin/>
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
I'm guessing either I just can't do this... or I'm missing some Options
or override or directive or something (I know I don't even know half of
them). The reasons I want to do this... security (currently, users don't
have access to their private cgi-bin via ftp chroot and no telnet
access), ease of administration (central-izes all the cgi's), disk
space.
Currently, I think what the problem is, due to the User and Group
directives, public cgi's are being executed as the User instead of as
the server, so it doesn't do anything.
I am able to get to public scritps with the ScriptAlias set, but they
give me an error. They work if I take out the User and Group Directives
though.
So.... what do I have to do to get it to work?

Hi All,
Yes the 'persist' option for PPPD worked. But now I have another set of
problems :
(i) My connection breaks after an hour or so. May be its beacause during
this time the system was idle. Its not bcaz of my ISP because my Win95
PC connected to the same ISP keeps the connection alive for days. Any
suggestion - Any option that may be causing this I am not using the
'idle' option but using 'persist'.
(ii) I need an X-Application that would give me the status of the PPPD /
MODEM. Does DialD has this interface.
Do you consider 'diald' as a better option - if yes why ?
Thank you in Advance

The VPN Masq HOWTO describes ipfwadm rulesets. I haven't had a chance to

You may want to read through the VPN Masq HOWTO. It discusses the

Just tried it from IE5.x to an HP-UX 10.20 box, didn't seem to have the

Well what you'd have to do is Telnet into your gateway box, and from
there, you'd have to telnet into all of your boxes inside the private
net. Or better yet, instead of Telnet, use Ssh, that way everything
gets encrypted.

Date: Thu, 05 Aug 1999 17:49:37 GMT
I am by no means new to networking. Simply fresh with regard to the
world of LINUX. Here is my issue:
I have an Intel machine with two identical ISA NE*000 compatible
network cards. I am having trouble getting the system to recognize both
at the same time. One of them is at io=0x300 IRQ=10, and the other is
io=0X280 IRQ=9. I have enabled the ne modules in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.
Here is an example of the entries in rc.modules:
/sbin/modprobe ne io=0x280 irq=9
/sbin/modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=10
The system never has trouble finding the first one. I have even
switched the lines and it always finds the first. It just seems to not
even bother with the second.
Perhaps my approach is all wrong. Barking up the wrong tree, so to
speak. Could someone please point me in the appropriate direction to
resolve this issue.
Thank you much.

I believe your problem is not with shadow'ed passwords, but with the

someone suggested upgrading to the 3.x version of qpopper that is in

If anyone has solved this problem with the APOP authentication please

There's nothing wrong with filenames having all sorts of strange and
even non-printable characters. I once wrote a program that transfered
data between two processes using filenames in /tmp. I found that the
OS (Ultrix in that case) was happy with filenames using any of 254
characters. Only '/' and 0x00 were illegal. I expect the same is
true with ext2--IMHO, it should be.
Interaction with a shell simply requires escaping, wildcarding, or
quoting special characters. I've seen some versions of `ls`
configured to add backslashes before spaces, use question marks
instead of non-printable characters, and such, so you can just cut and
paste the filenames it displays into most shells.
[On my system, I have tons of files with spaces, punctuation, and odd
characters in them. I have no problems manipulating them from the
shell, and I've yet to see a C program care what type of characters a
filename uses.]

I would like to thank those who responded in this thread. As
instructed, I downloaded EtherDisk 6.1 comprised of 2 disks set
(3c509x1.exe and 3c509x2.exe) from <www.3com.com>. The actual
configuration program is '3c5x9cfg.exe' from the second disk.
Now, my card is set for BNC coax with PnP disabled.
Yours truly,

Subject: Help: PCMCIA ethernet card IO init fails
Date: Thu, 05 Aug 1999 18:06:30 GMT
I've got Red Hat 6.0 newly installed.
In my /var/log/messages file, the PCMCIA startup
looks good, including the following message, which
is correct about the card I have:
cardmgr[316]: socket 0: KTI -PE520 Plus Ethernet
However, when it gets to the second insmod call:
cardmgr[316]: executing: 'insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o'
kernel: pcnet_cs: RequestIO: No more items
cardmgr[316]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: No such device
What's up? the Linux Ethernet HOWTO says pcnet_cs is the right
driver for the KTI.
The card clearly isn't visible, network stop/start fails.

I have two 3c509B-combo, and Linux recoginizes them okey with
/sbin/modprobe 3c509
in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules. My problem was that the cards were using
10baseT port even though they were set for 'auto detect'. I had to
use '3c5x9cfg.exe' from www.3com.com to configure the cards.
