Yes, this is a FAQ with Satan. You need to fix the MIME entry in
Navigator's preferences so that *.pl are run by perl.
This is almost surely included in the docs that come with satan.

Are you running Win95 or 98? It makes a big difference to access, since
it's had some problems with licencing. You might check out MS
knowledgebase for a fix to that, I'm sure it's there. If you have
trouble finding it, email me and I'll dig up my file on it.

Are you running it in full screen mode? I hear that it makes a HUGE
difference. I haven't gotten mine up and running because I need to
re-install redhat on my blazing P100 notebook with 32MB ram before I try
it.

I think that there is a support forum for VMWare, they might be able to

Make a dhcpcd log file (mine is /var/log/dhcpcd.log on a Slackware 2.2.6
system)
Add a line:
local0.* /var/log/dhcpcd.log
in /etc/syslog.conf
(NB Those are tabs between the fields, not spaces)
Start your dhcpcd with debug, as:
dhcpcd -d eth0
Go look in dhcpcd.log on a regular basis.
(My dhcp client renogotiates the lease every 2 hours. You should see lines
like:
date.time sending DHCP_REQUEST for <your-ip> to <isp-ip>
date.time DHCP_ACK received from <isp-ip>
Take a look at the dhcp (mini?) how-to (I forget, but it's all there,
somewhere!)
Good luck,
Geoff.

hmm... interesting idea, but I don't know if it would work. I don't
know if ssh can fix the packets so they look exactly right for the
proxy.
Somebody else (in another mailing list) has suggested that I use a
package called transproxy. It does exactly what I want and it's very
small and robust. I will try it out and see what happens.
Thnx for your help

Hi All,
Just upgraded a working 5.2 to RH 6.0. Now my tulip NIC work intialize
dmesg says "delaying initialization." ifconfig says the same thing
when I attempt to configure the NIC manually. The network config has
not changed.
modconf shows the tulip module present. linuxconf shows the adapter
with the correct io and IRQ.
I'm stuck. I found a couple of posts suggesting that changing the
default options may solve this, but I can't find the options for a
tulip.
Any suggestions (beside changing the HW ;-) ) are greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Hello,
I'm running Mandrake 6.0 and trying to access my Linux system from a
WIn98 system. I've been tinkering with Omni-NFS but cant mount the shared
directory. I've made the necessary changes in the exports directory, and
Omni sees the NFS server and directory on the network, but when I attempt
the mount I am told it seems pcnfsd isn't running. Well, I did an nfs
status and found that rpc.nfsd is stopped while the others are all
running. It's always stopped no matter what I do. When I tried starting
the process and get this message: 'nfssvc: Address already in use'. I
can't find any more info in the How-To's on this or in the reams of Linux
.PDF manuals I have. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

Hmm, in this script, include the line:

However, from B I **cannot** ping C and vice versa. (pls. see kernel routing

What am I missing in A such that systems on both subnet can communicate?
Once, I have the above solved then I plan to make C a firewall/masquarade

I would appreciate ideas, especially if you have setup a similar system.

NIS is a generic name lookup service (c.f. LDAP, NDS) which can contain
any type of info indexed by text strings. Conventionally, it contains
certain named maps for certain purposes, e.g. passwd.byname for login.
The /etc/nsswitch.conf file tells the OS which name services to use for
which purposes, e.g. the line
passwd: files nis
will tell it to use the locally stored text files (/etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow) as first choice for the login authentication service,
followed by NIS.
If you want to use NIS for particular services, make sure it is enabled
for those services and in the priority order you expect by editing
nsswitch.conf
A couple of tips....
1. Make sure "files" is first for passwd - if you want to use the
old-style "+" notation in /etc/passwd, you must set nis_compat
2. Use "files dns" for hosts, leave NIS out of it
