Have you tried simply putting the domain name in your hosts file,
so something like:
192.168.168.1 MyServer
192.168.168.1 www.domainname.de
192.168.168.2 MyClient
If this does not work, you should set up linux to check your hosts
file before accessing a nameserver (can be done using linuxconf)
Good Luck
Abacab

If you are using a regular user account, it might be caused by lack of pppd
permission, Read the PPP-HOWTO, chapter says using pppd with root

Subject: ppp fails "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests"
Date: 9 Aug 1999 20:28:03 GMT
I'm having difficulty establishing Linux ppp connections, with a
recently opened ISP account. Debian pppconfig has done well
enough on my numerous previous setups that, with only an
occasional script tweak, I've never had to debug Linux ppp
connections before. If I keep trying (without changing my
config) I eventually get a good connection, ~1 in 5 times.
Looking at the other ppp messages on the net, I haven't seen
others experiencing this sort of periodic failure/success; If I
keep re-dialing, I do succeed after several tries.
The logs below are from kernel 2.0.36, pppd version 2.3.5
(I have also tried kernel 2.2.10 pppd 2.3.8; in that case,
only ~1 in 10 attempts is successful.)

You can put the path to fetchmail in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and it will run
as root, so you can put the .fetchmailrc in root's home directory. If
you want to run as a user, add a cron entry for fetchmail to run as
often as you like, just make sure that you don't have automatic checking
in the .fetchmailrc.

I've got a SOHOware NIC, if this is what you mean. This board uses a
Tulip clone chip, and works fine with Linux *IF* you grab the latest
drivers from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html
You'll need to replace one kernel source file and recompile the kernel or
your kernel modules (or both).

The -q option tells sendmail how often to process the queue. If you run
redhat, edit /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and change the QUEUE time.

We have a Cisco router connected to the Internet (Cox)-216.54.1.41. I

card in the Linux machine is 216.54.1.42 (mask is

The other card is 192.168.1.1 (255.255.255.0 mask)--eth1. This card is
connected to a hub. eth0 is a 3c509 and eth1 is a 3c509b--PnP disabled;
both cards show up fine on boot & are listed correctly with ifconfig.
IP forwarding has been enabled. I cannot ping out from this machine or

I am in the process of configuring a Red Hat 6.0 PPP server for an office
Intranet, using Equinox SST hardware. My users will be accessing this

the HOW-TOs and MAN pages and have been able to connect and actually see the

The only problem is that I have to set DUN to bring up a terminal session
after dialing and login with logname and password, otherwise, I get
connected, but can NOT see the network. I would like to be able to let DUN
and Linux pppd make the logname/passwd handling for user simplicity. Can
anyone point me in the right direction? Listed below are some of my

Hello,
I just wonder how can we control the users' login access to a Linux
computer. All I want to is to disallow any remote login to the Linux
computer since I have to do some critical experiments using the Linux
computer. I tried to modify the access.conf file in the directory
/etc/security to control the login access. But it did seem to be
working. Even if I add the following line in the access.conf file, I
can still login from the console or from other Linux machines.
-:ALL:ALL (this means disallow any users' access from anywhere)
So what I should do in order to control the login access?

Subject: Can't print to LPD queue from remote systems
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 20:57:21 GMT
I have a RedHat v6.0 system (name: "corona") which prints to a
LaserJet/4M via a JetDirect print server. I can print to this printer
from the local Linux command line ("lpr filename") and I can also
print to it from Win98 and OS/2 machine via Samba. In both cases the
print job is sent to the Linux box's (corona's) spooler, then sent to
the JetDirect. So far, so good.
What I can't do, though, is route print jobs through corona via lpd
from remote machines. For instance, I send a print job to corona from
the "mysystem" machine. The print job is accepted by corona and I see
the printer's LED blink once as it usually does when a job is sent to
it . The print job, though, is never actually sent to the printer. It
is stuck in the spool queue forever.
This what the stuck job looks like:
# lpq
corona.snydernet.lan: Warning: no daemon present
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st pc-user 500 1068 bytes
JetDirect lpd: no entries
Huh? "No daemon present"? There certainly is a daemon present when
the print job is submitted locally or via Samba. Why not now?
So, to sum up:
succeeds: local --> local-queue --> JetDirect --> printer
succeeds: samba --> local-queue --> JetDirect --> printer
failure: remote --> local-queue --> stuck-in-queue-forever
Yes, I have the remote machine's name in /etc/hosts.lpd. (I also
tried /etc/hosts.equiv.) The job is not being rejected; it is just
not being sent to the JetDirect server. Also, no relevant message are
seen in the system log.
Any thoughts as to why jobs submitted by a remote lpd get stuck on the
print queue?
Thank you.

SEND ONLY ANSWERS ENDORIGINAL Body IS:if the sequence is
the same than the cable is not crossed .. a UDP cable usually
comes with a RJ45 plug with 8 connectors. ethernet uses only 4
of them (1,2,3 and 6)... so maybe your plug only has 4 metal
connectors .. dont worry about that. normaly you talk about
cable pairs in the cable that form a circiut. the pairs are:
(1,2)(3,6)(4,5) and (7,8) the pins (1,2) on your ethernet card
are for receiving and (3,6) are for transmitting. so in a
crossed cable the (3,6) pair is connected to the (1,2)
connectors on the other side and the (1,2) pair is connected to
(3,6) pair of the other side. -heinrich

SEND ONLY ANSWERS ENDORIGINAL Body IS:Hi, The problem is
in the server side. Make sure that your server uses itself or
another nameserver (your isp's for example) for DNS. Check
/etc/resolv.conf and have nameserver ip.of.the.nameserver
.. Otherwise.. you should start the named before starting
squid.. Hmm.. do you start squid from /etc/rc.d/rc.local or do
you have unique RC file for it? (in RH /etc/rc.d/init.d)..
Remove it with "update-rc.d squid remove" if you have it there.
and start the squid from /etc/rc.d/rc.local or from other place
which is executed after the named init ! Hmm.. are you sure
your named is started during the bootup? add "ndc restart" to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local for example to make it sure.. HTH!

SEND ONLY ANSWERS ENDORIGINAL Body IS:If you are using
'chat' to connect, use the -v option and for pppd, use the
debug option, and you'll get the actual messages between the
computer and the modem in the syslog. From there you can read
the 'connect NNNN' string. Then, see on the windows side what
the init string is for the modem and what it is on linux side.
Also remember that pppd sets the serial line speed from the
second argument (see the pppd manpage). I hope that one of
these ways will get you there.

Subject: Cant find http://localhost ...
Howdy,
I've just installed RH6.0, and I can connect to the 'net via ppp, but
if I point netscape at http://localhost, it cant find it...
Actually, I had this same problem on another system I set up using a
cable modem, but there I could just point to my static ip address to
access my pages, and since that machine is connected 24/7, I never
really bothered to figure out what was wrong with the local setup.
But since this machine is not connected most of the time, I need
this to work! I've included some various config files, so if anyone
sees anything wrong, or has any ideas, please let me know!
===============================================
/etc/HOSTNAME
