The one and only real bitbucket in the world of unix is a file
named "/dev/null". You can use open(2) followed by write(2) to
dispose the data in a way that is very friendly to our environment :-)
For our problem a simple 'char buf[xxx];' should do the job.

Subject: Re: Changing my NIC IRQ number
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 14:30:45 GMT
Hi Jo.
I can�t give You any definite answer on this one. I could use some more
information about the card itself ;-), but, if I boldly assume the card is
based on an "old" non-PNP isa architecture, the problem probably resides
in the driver itself; beeing a LOT of NE2000-compatible NICs out there, and
those often not following the NE-specs. there is fairly difficult building
a generic, fully functional NE-driver. The solution would probably be to
enable the debugging-flag when compiling the driver, boil up a big pot of
coffee and start diving into the fascinating depths of
sourcecode-debugging.
Other options would be to replace the card (no fun in that *s*) or
subscribing to the appropriate Linux mailing list (these people are VERY
good and often equally helpfull) and post the question there.
These mailinglists can be found on: http://www.linux.org/help/lists.html
Happy hacking,
Henrik J.

I just got through setting up RH6.0/Sparc as a cable gateway. I
installed the DHCPCd package, and everything appears to be working fine
-- but I can't figure out why!
DHCPCd is not running. Something called 'pump' is. Is pump part of the
DHCPC system? Should I see DHCPCd in a ps.
Somebody care to say how this subsystem works?

Hi
dont worry about nothing next to the 3c509.o - that only means that
there is no dependency of this module for any other.
<< /lib/modules/preferred/net/3c509.o: (but nothing next to it)
3c509 cards have never needed extra options, so I am not sure whether
your giving them those options in linuxconf was a good idea. I don't
personally like or use linuxconf - it scares me.
Look at /etc/conf.modules. There should be something like
eth0 3c509
eth1 3c509
..
..
other stuff.
I suggest you delete any stuff like io=0x210 irq=10 that comes after the
3c509 card.
why don't you also try to directly put the 3c509 module into the kernel
with a insmod ./3c509.o from the /lib/modules/preferred/net directory -
that should at least tell you if the cards settings haven't been nailed.
If it looks like the card is nailed, you could try downloading 3c5x9.exe
utility- running it to uncompress it, then put the executables onto a
dos bootable disk and reconfigure the card.
email me off list if you get stuck.
Cheers,
leon

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mindspring has been saying that they are restricting mail to only be
able to be sent through their mail servers, and I think they have
finally done it.
I've been trying to send mail (elm, or just /bin/mail, with sendmail) to
a friend, and he has been saying he never gets the mail, and sure
enough, in the mail queue are several mails with "Deferred: Connection
timed out with...." as the error message.
So how do I setup sendmail to relay through Mindsprings mail servers,
without using bang addresses.. ugh.. what is that,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It's been years.. :)
Given that, Mindspring so far is still a pretty decent ISP.
Anyway, any help configuring sendmail to relay through Mindspring would
be appreciated. I gave the man page a look over but nothing popped out.

ip : 194.222.168.226 (static ip address)
hostname : hot-shot.demon.co.uk
I have it all bodged together but it's not right. I won't go into my

steps to create this together with all the routes etc. I have the cards
working, and I have my net connection working. If someone could go through

from another machine try:
$ ssh -v yourmachine
the "-v" causes the ssh client to spit
out lots of information about the ways it tries to verify you. Do the same thing to
another machine (one you can connect to via ssh) and compare the output.
the next thing you should try would be to start the sshd with the "-d" option.
you'll have to start it manualy because is will not go into background and only accept
one connection. ...see sshd's man page.
connect from another machine and watch the output .. either on the console where you
started sshd or in your syslog .. (not sure where it logs to in debug mode)

I've been unable to get it to run in RedHat Linux, and it won't recompile

Greetings,
I've got a problem with routing with two NIC's and a PPP connection.
First I'll show you the current situation.
Server
eth0: IP=192.168.1.1
eth1: IP=192.168.2.1
Running debian potato with pppd 2.3 and dhcpd v2beta1

As you can see eth0 and eth1 have a routing to itself 'coz when I change
that my dhcpserver says there's no route to the host. Is this ok?
I also can't ping from one net to the other? Also a routing problem??
pppd also won't add a defaultroute because there's already one there.
One really weird thing too is the fact that the 192.168.1.0 net can go out
on the internet via the server, but the 192.168.2.0 net won't do it. The
machines in the 192.168.2.0 net can ping the server but won't go any
further.
I think I've made some mistakes in thinking, and I hope you can help me out.

Same setup here, and Netscape works fine, and I did nothing to make
changes to the DNS in Wingate. Make sure you're setting proxy settings
correctly in the Netscape configuration:
I have wingate listening on port 81 for http requests, (web server uses
80), and you must also tell Netscape which port:
Is the IP address of the wingate machine shown in the proxy settings?
right port? I tried using WINGATE, and it works, but is slower than the
IP address of the machine w/ the modem in it as the address.
(new to linux and not-so-new to wingate)
Is your linux box listed in your \windows\hosts file?
Do you have SAMBA working on the intranet?

�h , what distribution ?
on my SuSE 6.1 - box I can activate or deactivate possible root-login
using telnet in my /etc/rc.config
root FTP-access is resticted by /etc/ftpusers
all users in there have NO ftp-access !
simply delete 'root' - and thats it !
But as you said: This is really NOT a good idea !!!

Subject: ip masq?
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 17:01:41 GMT
I am thinking of setting up a Linux box with 512K DSL running IP masquerade
for the purpose of connecting 200 people to the internet. I would also
configure it so that all packets coming in on port 25 would be forwarded to
the Exchange server. This will hopefully allow the Exchange server to relay
mail to and from the internet. We have 5 NT servers that need to be safe
from the internet.
Is this a well conceived plan?
Is IP masq safe?
Will the forwarding of 25 allow the exchange server to relay mail
properly?(assuming the MX record points to the Linux box)

Interesting. Well try to download the newest tulip.c source from Donald
Becker's site. Might just be an incompatibility with the one distributed
in your version of the kernel.
