#1 just shows that someone telnet'd to your machine and was probably
running Windoze since the connection died unexpectedly. It wasn't
closed properly (sorry, couldn't resist the dig)
#2 is a nameserver (named) lookup where it was resolving a name
lookup on your DNS server.
Completely innocuous messages.

Hi Evan,
If you are building a home network you will probably need
a good proxy server. Please check out
JProxyma (http://www.intellectronix.com/jpro/),
a state-of-the-art proxy server written in Java.
You can run JProxyma on a Linux, Mac, Unix,
MS Windows or any other Java-enabled platform/machine.
As for some of your other questions, you may find the
following resource pretty useful:
http://www.knowledgehound.com/networks.shtml
Good luck!

In reading Peter's comments, I remembered that in SysV and its
comtemporaries shells behave differently. I.e. setuid stuff ends up
not setuid. For Sun's ksh the following is the flag to use:
-p Disables processing of the $HOME/.profile file and
uses the file /etc/suid_profile instead of the ENV
file. This mode is on whenever the effective uid
is not equal to the real uid, or when the effec-
tive gid is not equal to the real gid. Turning
this off causes the effective uid and gid to be
set to the real uid and gid.
Just a shot in the dark.

It's certainly feasible. Setting up IP Masq isn't difficult at all -- have a
look at http://ipmasq.cjb.net/ for tons of detailed instructions, examples,
etc.
As far as the hardware, if all you're doing is masq'ing (no proxying etc) then
even an old P90 with 32MB of RAM would be sufficient. Masquerading isn't very
CPU-intensive, so an older machine will do fine.

Hi Andy,
ipchains -L says:

Actually, this command was news to me, but on looking at the man page and
then the Caldera documentation they seem to say that a standard Caldera

I am running Linux RedHat 5.2 on a K6 AMD 233 and I am looking for a
module for a cheap ethernet card I bought.
The card I would like my system to recognize is labelled "Soho Series"

Does anyone know if there is a module for this. ?
If so, could you give some hints or URL's ?

Subject: Samba Peer to Peer?
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 15:51:17 -0400
I've had a peer-to-peer network set up between a windows 95 and 98 machines
for about a year. The 95 is in a room with a phone line, so we have been
using that one to connect to the internet, and then letting the 98 acess the
internet through the network. Recently (Sunday) I installed Red Hat 6.0 on
the machine with 98. My question is how should i go about setting up a
network between Linux and 95 (peer to peer style), and then even dial into
the internet with the 95 and access it with Linux on the other system (like
i have been doing with windows 98)? From what i understand Samba seems to
be what I need, but i'm confused to how everything should work. I have
found info on setting up Linux as a server, but nothing on a Peer-To-Peer
between the two O/S. Thanks anyone who can help me...

You need to put the echo "1" >
/proc/sys/net/ipv1/ip_forwarding line in one of your rc files
as the value is not saved through a reboot. /etc/rc.d/rc.local
would be a good choice if this exists. /etc/init.d/netbase
would be another good choice. If neither of these files exist,
please include more information about the distribution you are

Hi, List your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and save it!
"nameserver ip.address" is ok. HTH!

I have SuSE Linux 6.1 installed.

I may be a bit biased, but I like the Intel NetPort print servers.

Plenty of detail, that should do the job.
>Will Cat5 PVC 4 pair work? 10mb or 100mb?
Yes, to both questions.
>What kind of hubs, patch panels, etc. will I need?
Looks like an 8-port hub would do the job; I suspect the DSL "modem" will want
a 10Mb uplink port, so economically it would make sense to go with a 10Mb hub.
No patch panels; just standard CAT5 TPE cables, all routed to the hub, which
should be as centrally-located (in an electrical sense) as possible. Don't
let any of the cable runs exceed 100 meters wire length and you should have no
problems there.
>About how many sites can 192k SDSL handle?
What's the maximum number available? <G> You can't look at more than one per
person at a time anyhow, and it looks like you will never have more than about
4 client workstations on your LAN, so all you really need to consider is how
much bandwidth you want to dedicate for the Web server.
>Are there any books/magazines that will help?
The number approaches infinity (for small values of infinity).

Hi Tom,
Not quite sure what your trying to do but it seems like you want to give
your local subnet access to the internet using your Linux machine to
"masqurade" traffic to your ppp0 link. This is not as simple as you make it
out to be. You cannot simply add the ppp0 default gateway address to your
routing table. You must set up "IP Masqurading". This is not trivial and I
don't recall the presice procedure but I will try and describe it roughly.
First thing you want to do it get you local network and dial-up setup
working properly if it does not already. All machines should be able to
connect to Linux. Sounds like you may have a bit of a problem here. I would
try the netcfg tool(also part of the control-panel). Sometimes it barfs but
if you must you can edit the file it creates
directly(/etc/rc.d/network/network-scripts/eth0-?). Anyway once the network
is running properly locally and from Linux to the internet via PPP you are
ready to set up IP Masqurading. It will probably be necessary to re-compile
the kernel to support it. For this you will probably have to look at the
HOWTO:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/howto/mini/IP-Masquerade
Don't get caught up in it. A lot of it is kind of achedemic. Really your
just looking for the parts about compiling the Kernel with IP Masqurading
support and the ipfwadm commands necissary to route network traffic. If you
have never re-compiled the kernel before I would take a step back and study
that as it is a much more fundamental Linux need that you we surely use in
the future. If you are in need of futher assistance regarding compiling the
kernel I have the exact sequence of commands written down. So re-compile the
kernel with the extra network functions and add the ipfwadm network commands
to your startup scripts(probably /etc/rc.d/network or something). There are
probably other things to get it to work but I can't remember off the top of
my head.
PS: You could dump Linux for the 2nd edition of Win98 that has this sort of
thing build in. I have never used it before so like everyhting with Windows
I would be weary. Plus thats no fun.
Good Luck,
Mike

Hi EVERYONE :
version : RED HAT 5.1 LINUX
I have a home network using Linux server to connect internet
by ppp and network card connect my local PC.
I check the Linux server by using PPP to internet is working.
It can ping and http to the outside work.
I try to activate the network card eth0 and add the address
to route table . Then the local linux server can not ping by itself
and it can ping the outside world. The Local PC can ping the linux
server but can not telnet at all.
my route table setting
default gateway :203.80.85.62
network device :ppp0
network device network network mask gateway
eth0 203.80.85.38 255.255.255.192
203.80.85.62
My network diagram
default gateway 203.80.85.62 ISP have assign the network mask
| 255.255.255.192 so I have 7 internet IP
203.80.85.55(ppp0)
|
Linux server
|
203.80.85.38 (eth0) if activate
|
203.80.85.39 can ping to 203.80.85.39
|
Local PC runing win98 can ping to 203.80.85.38
can not pint to
203.80.85.55
Thanks

Basically all you should need to do is set up your ethernet interface using the
control-panel. You'll want to use DHCP as your configuration protocol, since
that's what most cable modem providers use.

Clifford,
That solves it! I can't thank you enough. You've saved me a heap of grief.
Thanks again.
