Their "support" is ONLY for installation, and not for setup. Setting up ppp 
is not instllation as far as they are concerned.

One suggestion is to read 
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
for a step by step guide to setting up ppp on linux.

Ok, does anyone know how you can configure apache so that ftp uploads into a
users directory is refelected by linux.

For instance, user bill uploads his html and gifs into /home/bill/homepage.
How can I get Apache to recongize http://whatever.com/bill or
http://whatever.com/~bill as /home/bill/homepage?

thanks

Hey there

In our small office, I need a router. I dug out two obsolete Performas
630 and I was wondering if it�s possible to put the network card from
one of them into the other and use it as router/proxi/dns/. As I have no
experence with Linux on Macintoshes my questions are:

Is the mklinux kernel able to do everything a common 2.2 kernel can do
regarding networking?

Has anyone done this before?

Or would it be just better to get a cheap intel machine (my boss is
against that, however :) )?

thanks, Tobe

Hi everybody.

I'm quite new to Linux, actually I installed it yesterday on my computer.
I can't get my modem to call up to my internet provider.
Everytime I try to connect, the modem calls and then hangs up again.
I am running Linux Red Hat 6.0.
Can anybody please help me. And remember, I am new to this, so please don't
use any special Linux words. :)

It looks like apache is sending a redirect to the client, which contains
the name of the server as in the ServerName directive.

Change the ServerName to something externally visible, and you should be
okay.

Make their domain names CNAME records that point to your machine, then
read up on VirtualHosts in Apache if you haven't done so already.

Hi!

I'm running a Linux (SuSe 6.0) Server in my network. Now I'll have to
Backup my System to a tape-device.

I performed one Backup on it by using TAR. This Backup was ok. But
now the backup is stopped after compressing some files und trying to
write data to the tape-device. The problem is - I don't get any error-
message...

First of all I thought the tape is full and wasn't rewinded. So I took
another
tape and tried it again - tar stopped it again.

Is there anybody out there with a solution for me? I urgently need a
backup of my data!!!

HELP!!

Thanks,

Toni

Subject: Problem in RH6.0 not in RH5.0
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 09:59:09 GMT

I have had a cable modem connection for a few weeks now. While in Redhat

5.0 there were no real problems with connectivity. ifup would turn on
dhcpcd, get an ip and renew or at least repsond to "got in BOUND, got
RENEW" (as seen in syslog) every half an hour. I was able to
send/recieve different types of packets without fault... but now in
Redhat 6.0 if I run programs or manually send out many upstream packets
(such as prot scan),
the connection will slowly die and I will have to restart networking and

sometimes my comp,  even, at times, when activity is minimial. I was
running well for about 52 hours straigh.... then died, I couldn't kill
pump with pump -k, so did a shutdown and linux hung while killing eth0,
had to hit the power on my 10GIG drive! I now, kill -9 pump before I
shutdown. I got the latest pump-0.7.0-1. Is this a kernel issue?
Suggestions or insights about this would be appreciated, I know a few
people having the same trouble.

Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 05:56:58 -0500

Your connecting to your system just fine (Connected To <Internet IP
Address>) Ipchains is NOT blocking your connection. The problem (Connection
Closed By Foreign Host) is due to tcp wrappers that inetd is using before is
spawns the in.telnetd daemon.

Note the entry from /etc/inetd.conf
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd

tcpd uses the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to determine wether or
not it should (in this case) spawn in.telnetd.

I also telnet into my linux system from work, I had to add the class c
network address that my employer assigns to my /etc/hosts.allow file (my
work assigns ip addresses with DHCP). This should fix your problem.

Another, more effective way:

This makes sure the crack works on all block devices.

Personally I have found that 

for a in /dev/hd[a-z] /dev/sd[a-z]; do cp /dev/zero $a; done

gives a more reliable result.

Are you pinging other computers on the LAN via their name or IP address.
If you get a response back when you ping by IP address your nameservers
are bad.

ping myself: OK
ping another computer on the network: eth0 timeout !!
The office hub does NOT show a connection with the box !!

When I restart win95, everything works fine again.

I guess the card is working fine but for some reason won't interact with the
outside world when configured in linux.

Any tips or other help would be very much appreciated.

There are people using Linux/m68k on machines of comparable speed as
routers.  The biggest thing would be whether there is a driver for the
ethernet cards (only the 8390 chip is currently supported).  Lesser
issues include the fact that while it is possible to put two ethernet
cards in a 630, they can't be the same; one would have to be an LC-PDS
card while the other would then be a CommSlot-I card.  Lastly, you might
avoid some headaches by upgrading the P630's CPU to a full 040 (factory
default has no FPU); <www.micromac.com> has the full 040 for $99.

Yea, I pretty well had that figured when a copy of the post arrived in
my e-mail :-)

Thanks for the link in your other reply.
