You will need to recompile the kernel to enable firewalls. Get the
kernel source first version 2.2.10 is the newest stable version, but
if you get 2.0.36 you won't have to upgrade a bunch of ther packages.
Getting it should be easy with a cable-modem. Make sure you enable
the firewalling options. It's really not as hard as it sounds. It'll
make hair grow on your chest!
Then you need ipchains to setup the rules.
Good luck.

Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 10:25:37 +0800
I swear it's chat's problem.
I can get linux to connect using xisp and x-windows, not a worry. I can also
get it working by pressing activate on the Network configurator. I can get
my modem dialing into my ISP from the command line using minicom. I have the
right pot: cua0, ttyS0, and modem. (using /dev/modem works with x-windows
and minicom)
However, if I follow the How-to's and set up a pppd/chat script combination,
it will not work.
When executing the script, I can see that the ATZ command gets through...
the modem hangs up. Great. But then it makes no attempts to dial. No lights
flicker, no sound comes out. I tried running just chat without pppd to see
the output, and it runs... ATZ command is sent, then nothing else.
Connect script is:
pppd connect 'chat "" "ATZ" "" ATD 90917055 CONNECT "" ogin: login word:
password' /dev/modem 57600 modem
All the information is correct (except passord and login of course) But the
modem doesn't even seem to dial.
I've tried to echo commands to the modem:
echo ATZ > /dev/modem
I dont get an error message, but it doesnt do anything (Like it would in
DOS). Any help would be appreciated... WHY WONT IT WORK FROM THE COMMAND
LINE!!!!! *grrrrr*

David,
You should have an entry for each NIC, the localhost and the default
gateway. Set the default gateway to point to your Cisco router. It
should look something like this:
216.54.1.0
192.168.1.0
127.0.0.0
default 216.54.1.41
You will also need to set up IP masquerading so that the hosts on your
LAN can also access the 'net.

Subject: Please help with ISDN routing
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 09:26:42 +0100
Hi,
Have you any ideas on how to keep a default route live? I have an ISDN
router connected to a network hub, which is in turn connected to my linux
machine (RH 5). I have fixed IP addresses for all machines on the network,
including the ISDN router, which connects to my ISP when required.
On booting the Linux box the default route (to the ISDN router) is setup
correctly and appears in the route table, I can ping external machines etc
using the ISPs DNS for resolution.
My ISDN router is configured to disconnect after a few minutes of
inactivity. Once disconnected from the outside world my Linux machine drops
the default route from the route table, and won't connect anymore.
To setup the default route I added it to the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 script.
Please help, I'm a newbie to this, and wanna setup an email server
eventually, but can't get past this first easy stage.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
the purpose of these links in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and the other rcX.d
subdirectories of rc.d is to procvide a link to the corresponding
scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d. When the runlevel changes, i. e. the mode
that the system is running in (e. g. single user mode, shutdown-mode,
restart-mode etc.), a script calles /etc/rc.d/rc looks in the
corresponding runlevel-directory and executes the links. So, if your
system starts runlevel 3 at bottup, alle the links in r/etc/rc.d/rc3.d
are executed. The funny prefixes sa the following: if ist an SXX, it
means this service has to be started, if it is KXX, it means, this
service has to killed. The numbers, I represented with XX, say in what
sequence the services have to started, because it's sometimes important,
that one service is started before or after another because it relies on
this particular service. An example to illustrate this: If you want to
start a web-server, you should start the networking-services before etc.
If you now want to start inetd, the Internet-services-super-server, you
have to make a link to the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet. inet should be
provided with your distribution and is just a script that can start,
stop or restart the inetd-server.
In order to make the link, execute the follwing command:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50inet
You have to look, what S-number your network-service has. In my
distribution (RedHat 5.2) it is S10network, so S50 for inetd is o. k.
If you have no inet-script in your /etc/rc.d/init.d-directory, first
check, whether inetd is installed in /usr/sbin. Then you can make up the
script by hand. Just send me another e-mail, then I canm send you my
inet-script as a template.
The thing about these services is, that they have to be stopped again.
So, in order to have a correctly working system, you have to make up
K-links to the inet-script in the directories /etc/rc.d/rc0.d,
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d, /etc/rc.d/rc6.d. inetd should be stopped, before
networking is shut down, so have a look at the number of the KXXnetwork
link in these directories.
This was quite a bunch of theory about the init-sequence of a
Unix-like-system. I hiope it was o. k. for you.
There might be as well other problems, if you want to telnet yourself in
order to check whether your networking is running or not. These might
include improper entries in /etc/services, /etc/inetd.conf,
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Another problem might be, that
tcpd is not installed in /usr/sbin or that in/telnetd (the
telnet-daemon) is not installed in /etc/sbin. Check this first.
But first of all (sorry, that I write it that late), check whether your
inetd is running or not. Just type (as root)
ps -aux | more
There will appear a list if processes running on your system, if inetd
is listed, you don't have to worry about all these links in ther
rcX.d-directories.
Just try
telnet localhost
and normally you should get your own login. Don't do this a s root,
because you're normally not allowed to telnet-login as root. You would
have to modify some files first, but I admit, I don't know which ones.
Just try the things I've described above and probably you'll get what
you want. If not, just send me another e-mail whith the error messages
and a describtion what you've done. Perhaps I can help you then.
Florian
PS. You didn't send your message to the newsgroup, did you? It's better

Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 09:07:18 +0200
Hi all,
I running on a Linux Box Samba 2.0.5a. We have also an NT 4.0 Server.
Now I want to mount some Date from this NT Server to Linux ( I know it's
crasy ), so I do:
smbmount //server/share /mnt -U Administrator
and it seems to work, but after ca. 2 houres My connection is lost. On
Linux ls /share give a I/O error, but the mount command say :
//server/share on /mnt type smbfs (0)
So must umount and make I new mount. Where is the problem?
Is there an timeout in the Server or in smbmount?
So I want to be clever, I set up an crontab job that look
all 10 minutes at my connection and make remount automaticly, but next
day the NT Server means it has no license left. The Licensemanager say
Nummer of free licenses = -45 !
Want wrong? The WinNt Server has an Timeout but don't give the licenses
back?
I know best solution is to put linux on the NT Server, but it is COMPAQ
Server with RAID and I dont know if it will run on Linux....
Please help me!

Hello,
Looks like you are missing a couple of routing entries on your CISCO router.
I think you need to add routes to your internal networks (192.168.X.X) via
gateway your NT firewall.
When you ping your router from within private networks packets go out, but
never return due to the fact that CISCO does not know how to get to those
private networks.
Good luck!

It certainly is a WOW!! I'm still on 30 day trial.
So far I've set up a virtual partition with Win95 which vmware
uses to boot. I've then got my Linux to Samba across my Win 95 D:
and E: drives which contains my applications and data respectively
I've got Samba to allow me to print.
Word, Excel & Powerpoint are ok. Access gives licence errors.
(Maybe ini files ?)
My only "complaints" are
i) I only posses a 266MHz and 96Mb RAM, which is fine for
Linux OR Windows but not BOTH!!! (Can't really blame vmware
for that though - but if they could see their way to giving
me some extra hardware I won't turn it down).
ii) it takes about 4-5 times longer than normal to shutdown
Windows. Why is that ?
iii) I can't use the floppy from Linux. Vmware takes control of it.
use the cdrom either from Linux but I have a CD-Writer
as well so I don't care
iv) Sync-ing my real C: drive with all those *.ini files and *.dll
files is a pain in the ass!! Maybe I won't bother attempting it.
v) I can't use it to play Tomb Raider !!!

Ipchains tules must be set _before_ network interfaces are raised by
ifconfig. I don't known much about Red Hat for I use to work on Debian,
but I think that your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes raises
interfaces and sets routes. So, if ipchains rules are set at the

You didn't forward port 20. That's why you can only connect via web
browser which uses passive connections. You have to add a forward rule
on port 20 to open active FTP connections.
ipchains -A forward -s $network -p TCP -d 0/0 20 -j MASQ
If you want to filter in your input chain as well, you'll have to :
. open connections from inside, 1024:65535 to outside, 21
. open connections from outside, 1024:65535 to inside, 20
. open connections from inside, 1024:65535 to outside, 1024:65536
for passive FTP
so :
ipchains -A input -p TCP -s $network 1024:65535 -d 0/0 21 -y -j ACCEPT
# open connection on port 21
ipchains -A input -p TCP -s 0/0 1024:65535 -d $gateway 21 ! -y -j ACCEPT
# answer
ipchains -A input -p TCP -s 0/0 20 -d $gateway 1024:65535 -y -j ACCEPT
# open active connection from
# port 20
ipchains -A input -p TCP -s $network 1024:65535 -d 0/0 20 ! -y -j ACCEPT
#answer
ipchains -A input -p TCP -s $network 1024:65535 -d 0/0 1024:65535 -y -j
ACCEPT # open passive connection
ipchains -A input -p TCP -s 0/0 1024:65535 -d $gateway 1024:65535
! -y -j ACCEPT #answer
Please take care to -y option that means paquet is use to open
connection and to the fact that outside FTP servers are respondinc to
the gateway, and not to the client :)

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
The Trick I want to transfere data backed up on a DAT tape using SCO
3.2 (without any networking) and restore the data on Linux or Windows
NT.
Amount 350 MB of data.
What is the best approach?
Can NT be made to read tapes backed-up with SCO 3.2 and TAR?
Unfortunately the there is no networking on the SCO 3.2 machine.
John

Subject: Kernel NFS and symbolic links
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 09:54:56 GMT
Hi,
Is there a way to force the kernel NFS server in 2.2.x to export
symbolic links without changing their name to their original path?
My setup looks like this:
/mnt/datadisk (this is the mount point for a ext2 partition)
/mnt/datadisk/home ("home" is contained in this partition)
/home -> /mnt/datadisk/home (Just a symlink)
/Users -> /home (Another symlink)
If I export "/Users" and use "exportfs" it lists "/mnt/datadisk/home".
If a client tries to mount "myserver:/Users" it fails.
Can I force the server to export the volume as "/Users"?
I'm using RedHat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.9 (downloaded from kernel.org). I
want to access to the exported directories from different kinds of
clients (Linux, NeXTstep, OPENSTEP and maybe Solaris).
This setup used to work with RedHat 4.2, kernel 2.0.35 and the user
level nfsd.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Does anyone have a good network-monitoring link ? I am looking for a
program for linux, with which I can monitor the bytes transferred from
and to certain servers on my network / bandwidth utilisation and
stuff...
I have already tried: iptraf, netmonitor, tcpdump. But they don't give
me any useful information. I also can't use SNMP. I need to do it by
sniffing the network.
Hope somebody has a link.
Thanks in advance
Walter.

Hi Khurram,
I forgot to tell that /etc/ppp/ip-up script is run automatically by pppd
each a ppp connection gets established. pppd also passes some env.
variables to this script (like local & remote IP addr, tty device name
etc.) You can put a line in /etc/ppp/ip-up to copy contents of
/root/connect.msg (possibly together with a time-stamp) to a
non-volatile place. It is explained in man page of pppd. Also see man
chat.
Also there is a small correction to chat.script below (for completeness)
:
>
> For instance:
>
> chat -r /root/connect.msg -f /root/chat.script
>
> And the file /root/chat.script contains something like:
>
> REPORT CONNECT
> ABORT BUSY
> ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
'' ATZ
> 'OK' ATDT08222112500
> CONNECT '\d\c'
>
> This will write the whole 'CONNECT' line received from modem, to the
> file /root/connect.msg
> If you don't specify "-r" option to chat, but still use the REPORT
> keyword, then chat will write it to standard error instead of
> /root/connect.msg

All the best,
