Just wanted to give some feedback about this - it may help others who
experience similar problems.
Kernel 2.2.6 is buggy. I upgraded to 2.2.10 and the problem has been solved.
I strongly suggest that anyone still running 2.2.6 upgrade!

I assume this was with Linux -- Machines at bootup will always
do an ARP request on their own IP address. This is SOP to
determine if a different machine has the same IP address as the
server (or Win95, etc.) that send out a request (seemingly to
itself). Karl Meiser

I successfully managed to do something like this using ssh.
I'm afraid I can't remember how I did this, except that I think I ran ssh
from an X window on a local machine and connected it to an X server on an
external machine.
ssh automatically set up the display settings and X window port forwarding.
I hope this helps

Thats what I thought. When I went to mail.norske.org last night, it
took me directly to norske.com. I tried it today though, and it did
not connect.
What about email though? When someone sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
it gets bounced back from someone elses server with the message:
(<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:209.67.50.14 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 553 sorry
If http://norske.org works fine, why would email to @norske.org be sent
to a server other than my own?

Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 10:58:39 -0700
Hello,
On your MS-Proxy server you need to change the authentication method from MS
Challenge/Response to basic or just use anonymous setting. It's actually
embedded into IIS security tab, since MS-Proxy runs on top of IIS. The
actual place to change those setting depends on version of IIS (looks like
you are running 4.0?).
So based on assumption that you have IIS 4.0, you need to open Microsoft
Management Console, select your default web site, go to it's properties,
choose directory security tab, click 'Edit' on Authentication Control
section and check basic authentication or allow anonymous.
In case of basic authentication the proxy will ask you for user name and
password and it will transmit them in clear text, in case of anonymous there
will be not authentication performed.
Good luck!

Subject: NIS/NIS+ on Linux?
Date: 11 Aug 1999 14:29:58 -0400
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[[Sorry if you see this twice; I posted it to c.o.l.dev.system yesterday
but in retrospect I think this might be a more appopriate group...]]
Question: is NIS+ available for Linux? I have Debian and I looked
through the package DB and saw only NIS--is that vanilla NIS?
What I really want to know is if the NIS for Linux requires a slave
server on the local subnet, as the old NIS did, or if you can config it
to use a server that's not on your local subnet (like NIS+ on Solaris).

Thanks Dick!
Can you supply any more information?
How stable is it?
throughput?
range?
opinions?
If this thing works OK Linux users can have a wireless network of 2
machines
for under $200! I see that onsale.com is selling the Aviator2.4 network
kit
for $150 but it has a different part number than the webgear site so
I'm not
sure if it's the right stuff.

That's not much to work with, exact copies of logs are almost always

You should be able to use something on the output rules for the Linux
gateway/router. Something like this:
ipchains -A output -d pay-network-1 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -d pay-network-2 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -d pay-network-3 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT
Then 'ipchains -vL output' should show all packets routed by that
particular linux box to the various private pay networks.
I assume that you want to count the bytes to see if they are cheating
you or something like that?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message

I am paying traffic for my RH server but there are some networks that
are cost-excluded.
So, what I need is a ipchains configuration that would count the bytes
sent to networks that are charged (some 10 networks). I tried setting
up
the chains but no luck.
Is anyone out there that has some chains file doing some similar?

Usually it takes some time to propagate new setting for any domain on every

server.
Just give it some more time!

It's that first "From" that's messing things up. I'm not sure where it
gets stuck in there, though, or how to get rid of it. If I stick a sed
call in there to 's/From /From: /', it delivers, but I'd hate to think I
have to do that for every rule. Optimally, I'd like to find out where
Postfix sticks that header in, and either change it or get rid of it.
It's probably some configuration change I made in postfix, for a
masquerade or something, but I don't know yet.
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it, if you're familiar with
Postfix...
