Thank you for all your replies. I still have problem to make them work.
During reboot process I could see:
Executing /sbin/modprobe eth0
eth0:............
eth1:............
eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses.
eth1: Setting Rx mode to 0 addresses.
eth1: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses.
After reboot, I couldn't see eth0 or eth1 from ifconfig. I mean 0.0.0.0
for all inet, Bcast and Mask. I have to run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network
start" to bring them up.
Even with the above step, I can only ping eth0, eth1 and my local LAN,
not outside world. I am sure my routing table is correct which I have my
default gateway setup with the gateway given from my cable modem
provider.
Any help will be appreciated.

Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 22:12:16 GMT
Greetings,
I am a college student studying PC-Networking. The class that
graduated 1 semester before me took the initiative to start a
News/Mail/Shell server running Caldera 1.3. Now 3 of us (myself and 2
classmates) have inherited the linux box and have to keep it running.
It runs fine and almost doesnt need any maintainance. The one thing
that we want to do to it is set it to ask for a username and password
when you try to access it because some people on the interent that we
dont want posting to it are. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
Apparently it is set to ask for Authorization by default but the
students that configured it took it off. All i really want to know is
what files i might want to change to set it to ask for a login. I will
be working on this every time i get some free time (which i dont get
much of) so i may figure it out on my own, but it would be helpful if
anyone could give me a hint or two.
Thanks.

if you are using RPMS, you should remove the old one, if your

This is almost always a bad cable. Check the connection and/or
replace the ethernet cable. Also reset the net-board in the

Im not familiar with postfix, but using exim I was able to get this to work.
The key is exim changes to a given user depending on certain factors.
I've setup a procmail.generic file under /home/cyrus that is called by exim
/usr/bin/procmail -p procmail.generic. Then you can do your
delivery/filtering from procmail.
/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a USER -m user.USER

AFAIK they have fixed size. So it is not possible to change their size
without changing screen resolution. Using higher res with 100dpi fonts,
or, lower res with 75dpi fonts, you may be able to change the size of
features without much affecting font sizes. However your vertical
refresh rate may drop (flicker) to 60Hz if you use top resolution
offered by your monitor. It depends..
BTW why are you so distressed with it? Could it be because you can't
increase resolution beyond 640x480 (or can't lower it below e.g.
1600x1200)? If that's the case, then your problem is something else.

Regarding your first question, try setting your PPPd program
setuid, i.e. irregardless of whatever user runs it it runs as
if root had run it. This is can be serious security risk, but
if other people don't have accounts on your computer you
should be OK: As root, 'chmod +s `which pppd`' should do the
trick (without the first set of quotes) I'm not sure about
your second question. Perhas you need to contact your
distribution and ask them for the .config file they used to
compile the kernel and use 'diff' to compare it with your
.config file?

'No route to host' means that there is no way for data to get
from your computer to the web site. Unless this happens with
all sites, then the problem lies with the web site that you
can't access, or with the one of the computers inbetween.

Len, I think that they rely upon people not being prepared to fight for
something that costs such a small amount to replace. Since the card does
not work under DOS can you try just returning it as defective, since DOS
is supposed to be supported ??? If the supplier charges you 15% it still
saves $17 minus shipping !
I have just ordered some Netgear stuff for primary use with W98, but
based upon going to Linux at a later date, and I got confirmation from
their support that at least the print server is "compatible with Linux",
whatever that means ... I supoose I will find out when I get to
switching
the gateway machine to Linux !!
I think Linksys says that they support Linux for their cards, but what
does that mean ???
Good Luck, Jim.

I Use the 3c905b-tx, so i will wager that the problems are
similar to the ones I had. First of all, update your kernel
as high as your willing, but at least 2.2.5 (2.2.11 just came
out though...) Then, if you are dual booting, use a cold boot
after windows, not a TX, i mean completely power down, remove
cables, etc. Turn on PNP in the linux kernel, and turn off PNP
in bios. If you do all of that, it should take care of it.
Best of luck!

Subject: Re: PPP, ISP, & Security?
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 10:54:25 -0600
Johm,
Protecting the IP address of your temporary PPP connection is not what
you want to worry about. This is because your ISP has a limit "pool" of
available address which it can randomly, temporarily assign when
customers call in, and they can be quite well known, not only to the
ISP's customers, but to others as well. An example: Most ISPs actually
post the temp IP address in email and Newsgroup posts when you use these
services. ALL ips transmit this info when using email, and all ISPs log
this info.
Now, most ISPs use some form of secure authentication when logging onto
their service, so that if anyone happens to using a "packer sniffer", it
doesn't matter, because the secret info (i.e. the password) is
encrytped. Your login is probably pretty much public info. MOst isps
use standardized logins, so if you know someones name, you can probably
guess the login. Also, most user's email address is also their login
id. Most Isp's also use encrypted password passing, like CHAP, PAP or
others, perhaps combined with specialized login scripts.
Linux is pretty secure, right out of the box, because it defaults to a
fairly secure installation, meaning that most unused ports are blocked,
as the default. It's default installation, in all distros, is MUCH more
secure than Win default installations. The same ports which can be used
in Win, can be used in Linux, but Linux default installations, default
file permissions, etc., are an order of magnitude more secure than what
happens with win installs.
Now, I would guess that you're in Michigan, using win98, posting using
Netscape 4.06, using a Gateway brand computer, and that the machine
which forwarded this message to newsgroups, has an IP of
206.68.93.19
All of this from your news post.
So, you see that using the internet is not as private as you would
think. But your definitely on the right track, by thinking about and
being mindful of security on your box.
The best thing is to use linux, and start to research security issues,
and how to implement security on your machine.
Best Regards,
