Hello people
Recently I made an upgrade from our servers ,RedHat 5.2 to RedHat 6.0.
But the old securetty file which was running on the Redhat 5.2 doesn't work
with the new versions of RedHat.
Does someone know how to configure this file to accept telnet?

There is a WINS server that comes with Samba as well. I have not used it
in a mixed environment, so I can not judge. You can tweak the conf to make
Samba have better chances to be the browsmaster as well, but again, I have
not used it. The important thing is to get good NBT name resolution.

Subject: Dropping RX packets on eth0
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 12:15:26 -0400
I sent this to the comp.os.linux.powerpc, but had no response. I
thought I'd try here with a bit more info...
I have a Power Mac G3 desktop. I have linuxppc 1999 and debian
installed. Both dists drop packets like mad on eth0. It is not
noticable via telnet or ssh or even web surfing, but transferring large
files is a pain. When using FTP things just lock up until a timeout,
then all is fine. I thought it was my 10baseT line for a while, but I
switched lines off a machine I know to work well, but the same thing
happens. I have tried to upgrade kernels also. I have visited 2.2.7,
2.2.9 and now on 2.2.10.
I assume it is a configuration problem with my network card. Perhaps it
is running in duplex mode or 100baseT when it shouldn't? Has anyone
else noticed this sort of problem? Is there a way to configure the card
parameters? If so, what are the available parameters?
Here are some details...

Subject: Downloads taking the whole bandwidth
Date: 9 Aug 1999 15:32:38 GMT
Hi All,
I have a minor problem here, hopefully someone could give me a solution.
I am both a Linux and Windows user. In Windows, when I use Netscape or
ftp to download files from the Internet, I could still type stuff in
my telnet session (in xterm, connected to some other hosts on the internet).
However, Linux does not do the same. Whenever I download files and use
telnet at the same time, the downloading will take up the whole bandwidth
of the connection (33.6kbps) which is not very good when I try to do
programming and downloading at the same time. When I use Windows, I don't
seem to have this problem tho...
Now the question is, can I make some modifications to the configuration files
to make the line used more effectively? Perhaps the file /etc/ppp/options
needs to be changed? Need help...
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Brian

bump your 'debug level' up to around 3 or 4 and look at the logfiles for those
clients. Are the user-names long? - if so, Samba could be trying a lot of
upper/lower-case combinations on the User Name.

Yes. When constructing the firewall's forward rules, simply place the
rule forwarding the real IPs ahead of the rule masquerading the private
IPs.

The ISP gave you 24.9.C.D. That does not imply you can also use 24.9.C.1.
Your packets are probably being returned to a different machine at the ISP
(the *real* 24.9.C.1). Instead of creating a subnet with two 24.9.C.*
addresses, you can tell ifconfig that there is only one IP address on a
certain interface (using the -pointtopoint argument) and it will treat it
as a direct connection, thereby removing the need for a server-end IP
address for that link.

What netmask does your ISP recommend for the 24.1.A.B address? It seems
odd that they would give you addresses on two different subnets if they
are routing both to one physical cable. If the netmask was something like
255.240.0.0 then you can use it for both addresses. If it starts with
255.255 then you will have to use IP aliasing to give your modem interface
both IP addresses and use ipportfw and a separate set of masquerading
rules to provide the private machine with a virtual direct connection to
the net.
There is one thing left to consider-- does the ISP know your second
address must be routed through the first? If not, packets destined to the
hidden machine will be lost unless your firewall explicitly listens for
those packets and forwards them. ISPs normally expect the second IP
address to be hanging off of a hub connected directly to the modem, so
each address is transmitted directly. Getting them to route one through
the other will involve manual configuration which they may be unwilling to
perform. In the end, your only choice may be to alias the Linux machine
to both addresses and forward/masquerade the second machine using separate
rules.

Subject: RTL8139 keeps losing 100/FD, only reboot helps
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 17:58:34 GMT
Hello all,
I have had a couple of Allied Telesyn RTL8139 NIC's for over half a
year now, but they keep losing their 100/Full-duplex only a couple of
hours after rebooting. My driver version at the moment is 1.08. The
other card is in Win98, the other in Linux 2.2.10.
The most important thing here might be that these two computers have
been cross-overed with a 2m CAT5 cable.
I have configured both cards to auto sensing w/ the configuration
floppy, and from Windows (advanced driver settings) and Linux
(mii-diag). I have also tried almost every other conceivable
combination, most notably forcing both to 100/FD from the driver and
the OS.
If I use auto-negotiation, in my NICs both 10 and 100mbit/s LEDS are
alight at the same time. The card still transfers data at
~3.5Mbytes/s, but after a while, the transfer speeds just drop to
something like 600kbytes/s.
I have monitored the ethernet interface of the Linux box with
"mii-diag --watch eth1", but there has been nothing to report during
the time transfers worked fine and the time they were below 10mbit
level.
Once the transfer rates have dropped, restarting Win98, resetting
Linux's NIC card w/ mii-diag or forcing it to 100/FD does not help.
The only thing that works (for a couple of hours) is rebooting the
Linux computer.
If I use 100/FD forcing, the effect is the same except that only
100mbit LED is alight.
Anyone noticed anything like this? Has anyone used Linux-Linux or
Windows-Windows, or Windows-Linux with a cross-over cable
succesfully/unsuccessfully? I suspect this is a Linux problem
(because rebooting Windows does not work),
but I'd like to be sure.

Thanks for your help with this. It turns out that this was a hardware
problem, though a wierd one! On the system that works, I connect using a
docking cradle; on the one that doesn't, I have a "travel" serial cable.
Turns out that the serial cable allows logon with linux, but that's all
(on both machines), but that the docking cradle works fine (also on both
boxes). Apparently the control lines, or speed requirements, or whatever
differs for ppp and for a simple logon.
Thanks again,
