Jack,
IF you are having to type "startx" when your system boots, and then type
"xdm", then your system must be set to run level 3. The way to fix both
startx and xdm at boot is to change your systems default run level to 5.
In /etc/inittab change the following line from:
id:3:initdefault:
to:
id:5:initdefault:
Note the syntax of the "xdm" declaration in /etc/inittab:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon
x is just an internal identifier
5 is the runlevel, in this case "xdm" will only run when your linux system
is at run level 5
respawn restart if application exits or dies
/usr/bin/X11/xdm - nodaemon the command to execute
Have fun

Dear all,
I have a PCI PnP modem (with win98/NT4 drivers) that I'm trying to get to
work under SuSe Linux 6.1
It's a Jetway Pro-Media Data/Fax/Voice Modem PCI Bus Interface V90
SoftModem.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to get Linux to recognise it? I've searched
through the modem FAQ and unhelpfully it dismisses PCI modems straight away.
I would welcome any thoughts or suggestions.
Please reply by email if possible as my newsgroup access seems a little
flaky.
Thanks in advance,

Reply-To: "Marcio Lima" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have a Linux box connected to the Internet through a modem (demand
dialing) acting as a gateway for a local network.. Everytime the Box comes
up It tries to connect to the Internet. If it succeed, everything goes well.
Otherwise, all the clients, in the local networking trying to connect to the
Linux Box, get a very, very slow service at connect time(Telnet, mail,etc).
I could see that It happens because somehow the Linux Box uses DNS to
authenticate the users and, as the Internet is unconnected, it takes ages to
authorize the user due to a long time-out. I cannot see why this is
happening because all my files (passwd, group, etc) is the Box.
Can anybody help me ?

hi
in my experience connecting to the isp is one of the HEAVIES in linux.
i tried several tools and finally made it with kppp.
so i suggest, use one like this as well - its extra hard to do it
manually.
anyway, for debugging, look in /var/log/messages - this will give you
more info on where the process hangs and why.
its also a good idea to post some of this info here, if you cant figure
it out by yourself.
plus, to answer your question, no, nor special pap required

There should not be a default route to the PPP interface when you are
accepting dial-in PPP connections. You should have the pppd proxyarp
option. You'll also need to turn on IP forwarding and proxy arp. See
the Linux source tree file linux/Documentation/proc.txt, search for
"proxy_arp" and "ip_forward".

Hi,
perhaps someone could give me hint for a solution for the following
problem:
A private network is connected to the internet through a
firewall+router. "ipchains" is used to filter packages and masquerade
outgoing packages. "ip route" and "ip rule" are used to setup the NAT
for a machine within the private network, that should be accessable from
the internet. So far so good, it works fine from the internet tp public
NATed address and from inside to the private address. BUT it doesn't
work from inside the private network via the public NATed address. ICMP
(Ping) works fine. When watching with firewall logging in
/var/log/messages it looks on the TCP reconnect something is directed
wrong ?
Any help is welcome and thanx in advance

Yes it does :-) I mean that root owns the file and the "group owner" is
pppusers. (As you've typed below) Sorry - I should have made it more
clear.
Make pppd suid root, in group
> pppusers, and executable by the group, like this:

That is precisely how I have it set up yet pppd can't access ttyS1 when
executed by a non-root member of the pppusers group.
I would like to have /dev/ttyS1 have permissions
-rw------- 1 root tty
but I can only get ppd to work if I make it
-rw-rw---- 1 root pppusers
which is obviously less than desirable (but at least works)
I suspect the system is revoking pppd's suid root status at some point and
I was wondering if there are any likely causes of this? (When initially
called by a pppuser, I think pppd _is_ running as root as I don't get the
standard error message telling me to run it as root!)
Thanks for your help,
Richard.

Subject: Re: DNS Problem
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 12:34:18 GMT
Marcio,
You need to add your desktop clients IP/hostname to the /etc/hosts file on
your Linux box. What is happening is the linux resolver (see: man resolver)
is timing out on trying to resolve the IP address that is trying to connect
(via telnet, mail, etc...). Specifically, the resolver is trying to
determine the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for the IP address. AKA:
Reverse Lookup. Unless you have changed the resolvers "search order", it
should first check /etc/hosts, then use DNS. Since the resolver could not
find an entry in /etc/hosts (for the desktop trying to connect) it tried to
use DNS. As you stated, since your box is off-line, the resolver (in this
case the resolver is now using DNS) will eventually time-out.
cut/paste from: man resolver
timeout:n
sets the amount of time the resolver will wait for a
response from a remote name server before giving up
and retrying the query. Measured in seconds, the
de-
fault is 30.
attempts:n
sets the number of queries the resolver will send to
a
given nameserver before giving up and trying the
next
listed nameserver. The default is 2.
BTW: Your on the right track, but DNS is NOT used to authenticate users.

Subject: SPARCclassic X Terminal with KDE and Linux
Hello,
after different attempts for help in several mailing lists this group is
my last chance for my problem.
I am interested in using a SPARCclassic (Sun) X-Terminal runing KDE (and
Redhat Linux). Maybe You can help me since up to now I am new in the
configuration of X-Terminals in the net.
The SPARCclassic X-Term. is a supported hardware device for RedHat Linux
6.0. We have several of them and would like to use them. Secondly we
have a SPARCstation 10. On this machine RedHat Linux 6.0 with KDE as the
window manager is running successfully.
Now we would like to use the xterminals in such a manner that the window
manager KWM from the KDE package is running on the terminal itself (on
the local cpu of the terminal) and not on the host, since the host is to
slow to feed all the connected terminals with the window manager data.
So it would be an improvement if the window manager is running on the
terminal.
What do I have to do in order to achieve this?
TFTP and BOOTP on the server is running.
Is it necessary to run a "small" Linux kernel on the terminal cpu (maybe
the tftp.img boot image from the distribution) in order to set the KDW
ontop of it?
If You could give me some advice I would be glad since no one answered
to my questions in the sparc-list-request mailing list.
Thank You in advance!

Subject: DHCP / vmware question
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 13:34:47 GMT
Hi,
I have a strange setup and would like to know if this is possible:
==================================== (ethernet segment)
|
------------
|\ |
| \ Linux |
| \-------|
| VMWare |
------------
(sorry for non-fixed-font readers).
The host is running linux, and VMWare. VMWare is software to have as
many
'virtual machines' on your box as he can carry.
In a virtual machine (X window or fullscreen) you can then boot the
virtual machine and do whatever you want with it.
We use it to boot NT. As VMWare support multiplexing of the network
interface, we would like to use that feature to have the NT VM connected
to the net. This works fine when i only start up 1 NT VM (configured
with
a static ip-adress). The host does then have 2 ip adresses (ip-aliasing)
for the only ethernet card present. One for linux, the other for NT.
Now the DHCP problem is the following: We want to run several NT VM
sessions on the host (making NT multitasking with a non-persistent
drive,
yes!), but the problem arises that since the NT configuration has a
statically assigned ip-adres, all the NT VM's would have the same
ip-adress, which of course is not possible.
I am thinking of installing a DHCP server on the linux part of the host,
and configuring the NT VM to ask a ip lease on the net at boot-time.
I see several problems, and since i'm not very familiar to DHCP i
thought
i'd ask it immediatly on this list instead of wasting time testing it
(in
the case it is not possible):
- the NT host will issue a broadcast on the net, through the same
network
interface the DHCP server is listening on. Will the DHCP server 'hear'
and
answer this request?
- the DHCP server should assign several IP-adresses to the same MAC
adress. Is this OK for him?
- if so, will i be able to configure the DHCP server in such a way that
it
only assigns a range of ip-adresses to this mac-adress, and not to other
DHCP clients on the subnet?
i actually already built following dhcp.conf:
option domain-name "esat.kuleuven.ac.be";
option domain-name-servers 134.58.189.140, 134.58.56.153,
134.58.126.129;
subnet 134.58.189.128 netmask 255.255.255.128 {
option routers 134.58.189.254;
max-lease-time 1440;
default-lease-time 1440;
range 134.58.189.220 134.58.189.223;
get-lease-hostnames true;
}
thanks in advance for your help,
Sebastien Boving.

Subject: How to allow sendmail relay

Hi,
How do I allow sendmail relay for users connecting through
an ISP dial-up? I have entered all the IPs of my domain in the
etc/mail/relay-domain file and hosts on my domain are OK. But
anyone connecting to the server throuhg a regular ISP dial-up
can't use it. Anything I can do?
BTW, I am running a Mandrake Redhat 6.0.
