Is the pcmcia service loaded? If you do 'cardctl config' it should
show you if rh is seeing the cards or not. If you see your nic then
you can do the same ifconfig eth0 routine. Or you can also run setup
and check to see if pcmcia is being started at boot time.

You seemed to have got involved in a flame war which as far as
I can see is entirely beside the point.   I don't know exactly
why you are having a problem, but it is fairly simple to 
arrange for arbitrary users to mount CDs, and large numbers
of people do exactly that.   I have been doing it with releases
of RH going back to 4.2.  Under RH6.0, each time I create a new
user, that user automatically has icons for the floppy and the
CD on his/her gnome desktop, and one can mount it by right
clicking on the mount option or just left double clicking on
the icon, which also brings up a file manager for the directory.

Anyway, here is my /etc/fstab (on one of three machines I've
set up with this capability).
/dev/cdrom        /mnt/cdrom      auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide,exec  0 
0
/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy     auto     user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 0 0

I didn't do these manually but used linuxconf.  I don't see why
your entry won't work.

Have you rebooted---although that shouldn't make any difference?

It is not unusual with any OS to find that something which by all
rights should work doesn't.  I find this happens much more often
with Windows, and there it is usually impossible to find out why.

Hmm... I have no trouble playing digital audio. (In fact: xmms is playing
some mp3's right now ;-). There's no support for /dev/sequencer yet (midi),
but wave files should work. Which kernel version are you running? The sblive
driver set only provides a binary module for kernel versions 2.0.36 (shipped
with Red Hat 5.2), 2.2.5-15 (Red Hat 6.0) and 2.2.10 (latest kernel).

Sounds like you're missing the definition for localhost.  You have to 
have an entry for localhost.localdomain to use it that way.  Alternatively,
you can set /etc/resolv.conf to use your real IP, but that would be 
screwy.  :)

I can't remember the exact syntax (I switched to using Linuxconf after 
trying to deal with it) though, sorry.

From: "Patrick Keys" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: 2 NICS and Gateway
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 23:39:37 +0100

Hello

This has probably been asked a million times, but here goes:

I am attempting to use two NICs to connect a Linux box between a local
network and an internet connection. This would be fine, except that the ISP
expects us to connect through its gateway. Adding a default route to this
gateway prevents the local network from being accessed through the Linux
box. I've tried obvious routing setups, but have not yet hit on one that
works.

The network details are as follows:

Local network using eth1: IP range 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.255 Netmask
255.255.255.0

Remote Network using eth0: Default route added as gateway, range 0.0.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.255.

Ideally, I would like to specify that the default route does everything
except the 10.1.1.0 subnet. I've attempted to do this using the reject
keyword, but have only managed to get network unreachable messages.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Patrick

No, it works as a module.  That's how I'm using it right now.  Take a look
at your syslogs to see what the actual error was.  My guess is that you're
specifying incorrect information to the module.  In my conf.modules, I only
give the irq -- it didn't like being told the io as well (not sure why).

Also, the 20 second delay sounds suspiciously like you're trying to use DHCP
to configure the card.  It is possible that your problem has more to do
with finding a DHCP server than with the kernel.   I dunno, it's a 
possibility.  :)

iirc, you can also set a user's login shell to pppd (/etc/passwd) and put
'passive' in options.

What the heck do each of these proc settings do?  Can you
improve performance via these parameters?

./sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

Hi,

Just a thought! When you are boot to the install, do you login then do a
fdisk to set the partitions information. You really do not need to format if
the drives are already setup for the filesystem but just do a <w>rite the
partition data. Otherwise you will have to set your partition data up to
allow the format of the disks. Once the disks have the partition data, then
go into setup too install the software. Here you can do a format of the
partition if desired before you do a normal NFS install.

Telnet with root is not possible out of the box, because it's not safe. If
you REALLY want this, get ssh and install it. It's (almost...) 100% secure,
depending on your key and it can be set to allow root to log on.

The script may end improperly.  One way would be when the chat script

(lines have a `\' at the end) and the last line is escaped.

Post the script and exact chat -v log messages for better answers.
