I am a beginner linux user.  I bought a book and am currently reading
it.  I installed Redhat 6.0.

I have a PIII with Win98 installed.  And a P166 with Redhat 6.0
installed.  I have the computers networked.  I want to setup linux so
that it can use the dialup connection on my 98 machine (I know,
hooking a line up to the linux machine would be easier, but the way my
basement is setup, it would be hell to do.).  I have heard from many
that its possible.  Some have told me to use WinProxy, SyGate.  Some
have told me I don't need any of those.  I am a beginner, so I have
read all the necessary HOWTOs, and some just confuse me even more.

I am an A+ certified technician.  So I know what I'm doing in windows
and stuff.  Just that linux is TOTALLY new to me.  Could anybody
PLEASE help me out.

So far, I have messed with ipchains and added a few things, but don't
know how to remove them.  So if somebody could maybe point me
somewhere that shows step by step, or maybe guide me step by step in
email.  Or maybe we could schedule a chat session.  I'm willing to do
anything.  

Thanks for any info and help.

As a security precaution, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ip address) is not allowed. 

You must use a fully qualified name. On the cable modem you should have a
fully qualified name, so find out what it is and set your machines name to
it (nslookup 1.2.3.4). Then you can send email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you don't get a domainname with the nslookup this is your opportunity to
get one. internic will be happy to serve you.

Jan,
What you have to do next is just as simple, if you know how.
You have to tell your sendmail deamon where to hand off mail to, and where to look
for incoming messages. There is (most probably) a .conf file in /etc for this. I
have set up mail accounts on LAN's on linux machines, but the only experience I have
with setting up internet mail accounts is on the Win32 platform. The underlying
processes are identical. Your sendmail program needs to look for incoming messages
from your ISP's mail server. Your ISP's mail server should know (by way of the IP
address/Domain name associated with an email address) where to route the mail to.
There's a lot to configure, however. I'd look at linuxconf to see if it can be
managed via GUI... assume your IP is 1.23.045.006, your root account will be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
To test your sendmail, all you have to do is start up netscape and set your
preferences for the inbox "root@localhost" or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Subject: FIREWALL/PROXY
Date: Thu, 05 Aug 1999 22:38:00 -0400

First, the setup:

A(router to ISP)           B(rh linux 5.2
(2.0.36))                        C(40 win95 clients)
       |
|                                            |
222.55.1.41-----222.55.1.42eth0  192.168.1.1eth1------192.168.1.2,
192.168.1.3, etc.

A's mask is 255.255.255.248 as is eth0 of B.  C and eth1 of B share a
mask of 255.255.255.0.  IPfwding is enabled on B and my routing table
looks like the following:

Destination         GW                Genmask                Flags
Iface
222.55.1.40      0.0.0.0            255.255.255.248    U        eth0
192.168.1.0      0.0.0.0            255.255.255.0        U        eth1
127.0.0.0          0.0.0.0            255.0.0.0                U

default               222.55.1.41    0.0.0.0                    UG
eth0

I'm trying to use B as a firewall/proxy, but cannot get outside--I
cannot ping A from B or from any clients on C.  I've tried many things,
but now feel like I am missing something simple.   One additional note,
I cannot change any configuration on A.  It is controlled by our ISP.
Thanks for any help--DaveH.

I have SBLive playing wave and mp3 files OK on a Redhat 5.2 system.  It
does skip a bit on disk access (IDE sucks).  If you have no sound at all
run xmixer and see if the channels are turned on.

Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 22:08:26 -0500

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a good way to backup my Redhat Linux server to my
DAT tape drive on my Netware 4.11/Arcserve 6.1 server. I have the Linux
Client Daemon loaded on the server (loaded as root) and am trying to get to
it in the Arcserve Manager to do a backup. I can see the server on the list
of Unix Servers but keep getting the following message:

    "Could not contact IP Agent at specified machine."

The other interesting thing is that in the Object Information tab an old IP
address seems to be associated with the Linux Server.

Has anyone here successfully brought up this client on a Linux Server?

Thanks,
Mitch

Sleeping?  In the one instance that recently happened to me, it was the
kcdmagic (or similar named function that is part of kde's cdplayer).  I
couldn't find a wqay to close the non-functioning black box on the
screen, even though I sent the process several kill #n commands.  So I
gave up and went to bed.  Next morning the rc5 client had managed to
check one block, at 19kkeys/sec.  That box normally does 678kkeys when
not otherwise occupied.

'top' said the dead kcdmagic thingy was using 99.8% of the cpu!  I quit
x, ran top, it was still there! shutdown -r now fixed it though.


Thats with the Hedwick 6.0 release, 2.2.10-ac12 kernel.  Yeah, it needs
fixed.

Cheers, Gene

hosts.allow and hosts.deny are part oh tcpd protection which allows
inetd filtering. Which means that if you can connect to daemons loaded
via inetd, or your tcpd is not working, or you didn't rehash inetd after
having changed your files (kill -1 on inetd).
Your daemons may also have been loaded at startup by an rc script, which
means that tcpd has no control on them.

This sounds like you had specified a default gateway on your routing
table in your Linux machine.  You don't need a default gateway when
you are doing peer to peer.
