Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 21:50:20 +1000
Hello all.
I have a 3-machine home net, 2xW95 and 1xRedHatLinux 5.1. The linux box
handles all my internet access, file serving and print serving. Before I set
up the diald & ppp to access the internet I used to dial out with the modem
attached to one of the W95 boxes. I also used to dial into another remote
W95 network server to transfer files, etc.
The question for all you gurus is: How do I dial into the W95 network via
the Linux machine so that I can access the files and printers attached to
it?

??? It is no more secure than ordinary chap. Also, MSChap is already
compiled into ppp for almost all distribution.

Why not use diald's "debug" config option. Using it you can diald
to tell log info about every packet and what filter rule it matches.
Newer dialds (from http://diald.unix.ch) will log the packet that
causes the link to come up regardless of debug setting anyway.
>I heard some reference to tcpdump. What is that?
It's a program for capturing and printing packets. If you run
it on diald's proxy interface (usually "tcpdump -i sl0") you
can see every packet in glorious hexadecimal :-).

It depends on the source. You may have to correct configs for
other programs, possibly on other machines. You may have to add
entries to hosts files on one or more machines. You may have
to add filter rules to diald. The solution depends on the
problem.
>Here are

>/etc/hosts
>/usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
smb.conf, sendmail.cf, resolv.conf, suid.conf, nntpcache.servers,
Windows registry, Windows *.ini files, etc. etc. Basically anywhere
that names a host or specifies any form of network interaction.

Hosts files define a network so all the hosts files on the
network are normally the same and complete. But note that
there is no way to specify in a hosts file that there are
no more hosts in a given domain. If a hosts file look up
fails a WINS or DNS query will usually be made.
Since you can't trap bogus queries and are unlikely to keep
hosts files in sync on even a small network and Windows machines
have a habit of suddenly acquiring well dodgy programs I always
recommend that people run a DNS server on the local side of
dialled links and make it a primary (or secondary) for local
zones. Doing that you have three major benefits: you only have
to maintain one list of hosts, you can trap bogus queries,
and you only have to learn to configure the DNS server rather
than every damn program your users might find.

Firewalls have no idea who the user is. They only know where a packet
came from, which way it came in, and where it is heading.
You could block a specific IP, but that user could come in on a
different IP.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
we have a (not to the internet connected) LAN. This LAN is splitted into
3 (parallel) subnets via 2 routers. These routers run unter Linux and
are configured to be the browse masters of their subnets. To see all the
shared resources from everywhere in the LAN, we use the synchronize
option in /etc/smb.conf. This works fine, an on any windows-machine one
can see all connected computers with their shares. But if any computer
is shutted down, the list of connected computers doesn't apply to this
change. Every new started computer can soon be seen in the list, but
those who leave the net are still listed. What do we have to configure
that those no longer available computers vanish (soon) from the list of
connected computers? Maybe it's a time/timeout problem?
Thanks for any usefull advise,
Thomas

On 2.2.x kernels, route add command is no more needed for interfaces
basic network.
With ifconfig $IFACE $IP netmask $NETMASK up, kernel calculates himself
$NETWORK with $IP and $NETMASK and adds it to routing table via $IFACE.
You have 'SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument' on route add -net because those
networks are already routed.

I do. It's good.
But, be careful with a 2.0.x to 2.2.x upgrade as a lot of things have
changed. For example :
ipfwadm replaced by ipchains
network interfaces configuration (route add -net no more needed for
iface network)

Well, not exactly, a hub is a shared media device. Only one machine can

My system is setup exactly this way, with the /etc/host.conf checking
hosts
first and my /etc/hosts file showing the loopback and IP address for my
local
machine:
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
87.35.2.74 georges_isdn
87.35.2.73 Router
My /etc/host.conf is identical to the above. I also checked
nsswitch.conf
to make sure it was checking files before nis. Here's the hosts entry:
hosts: files nisplus nis dns
All this, and STILL the delay! I'd REALLY like to be able to get
netscape
up and running without having to dialup. I run diald occasionally, but
it's
presence or absence does not have any effect on this problem.
If it helps any, the delay appears to be exatly 8 minutes. Also, here's
what
my routing normally looks like while connected via eth0 to my isdn
switch:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt
Iface
87.35.2.74 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0

eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
default Router 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
(I believe the 127.0.0.2 entry was created by a diald, which I had
stopped
before running netstat -r).

That could depend on the Exchange Server version. I don't believe that
the SMTP and POP support was readily available before 5.0, but I do
know that those two plus IMAP are enabled by default in 5.5.
Too bad to hear about inept admins, but when you're dealing with MS
products, this is a very common problem.

Subject: ftp access policies in squid
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 14:45:13 GMT
Hi,
is there any way to specifiy access lists for ftp proxying separately
from http. I only found the http_access option which apparently
enables ftp also.
In our company it would be useful also to be able to differentiate
between downloads (ftp or http) and regular html requests. Since I
would like to add virus scanning also, I need some filtering
capabilities anyway.
I found the squid docu to be somewhat hard to read, so I'd be thankful
for any pointers to additional documentation.
tia,
Jens

Hi,
I have just setup my remote login on my Linux box. Most things are
working fine except for two. When I login using my Win95 box, I managed
to access my intranet and all, but couldn't see my other computers in
the network neighborhood.
The second problem is the speed. I tried setting the speed to
115200 but it never came close. Are there any settings needed on the
Linux setup to achieve that speed, eg. software compression?
Appreciate your help,
Kar Fai
