Thanks, Steve...that did the trick. Another question...how secure is
this connection? All userid/passwd info goes plain text doesn't it? --a
target for any sniffers.

Subject: PPP problem at multiple connects
Date: 19 Aug 1999 14:53:06 GMT
When I dial in to my network provider and set up a PPP connection,
everything is well. I can log in, go out on the net and do the stuff I
need to do and then close the connection without any problems.
The problems start when I try to set up a ppp connection for the
second time. I log in to the ISP, send my password and login and the
link will be established. The only problem is that the link is not
complete! I can ping other hosts without problems and I can also
connect to other machines on the net. After I get a 'connected to'
message, nothing happens. No I/O is sent over the line (at least, my
modem lights stay quiet), other than an occasional flicker that (I
think) a retry of an unacknowledges package.
I am using Linux 2.2.11 with pppd 2.3.7 and an external modem on
/dev/ttyS1. My machine is a slackware 4.0 box. I dial in to a
call-back service. Syslog and the other logs dont give any clues as to
what is happening. What could be going wrong?
I'll be more than happy to send any debugging output.

Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 15:06:53 +0100
Didn't see the original post, but....
Recent versions of Apache (included with most Linux distibutions) also
are capable of providing web proxy services. Not sure how Squid and
Apache stack up in the performance stakes: squid may be slightly better
in this regard having been out longer.
Also ask yourself if you really need a proxy server, or if you want
masquerading [where IP packets are cleverly renumbered so that they all
look as though they come from a single computer]

You need to remove whatever it is that sets the default route to the LAN
after the PPP connection is successful, you don't need it since you have
a network-specific route. When that's done pppd will set the default
route through the PPP interface and it will work.
You can likely prevent the LAN default route from being set using
options for RH scripts but I can't help with that. However, it's being
set *after* the PPP default route is set by pppd at the time of the
PPP connection.

Hi,
In your smb.conf you have an entry for the smbpasswd file location. Be
certain that a valid user is generated for the linux system then generate a
smbpasswd for that user. Once you login as a valid user, it will ask for the
password. If you do not generate a password in smbpasswd for the root it
will not allow the smb operation, be it root or another user.
I'm assuming that you have your passwd style selected and the problem is not
with MS Win/9x.

Subject: @Home with Muliple IP addresses and Linux
Hi all,
I've been an Comcast@home subscriber for over half a year, with a RH
Linux box acting as a gateway for the rest of my network, no problems.
Now, I am considering getting another IP address. Does anyone have
exerience with this, and does anyone know if I would have to have 3
NICs, or 4 in the gateway computer, etc, any other details, advantages,
disadvantages to doing this?
Thanks for any help,
Paul

You need to be more specific and give some logs output.
It can rather be that your firewalling rules bock all dhcp traffic
required for the address renewing.

Subject: port forwarding woes
Date: 19 Aug 1999 15:35:01 GMT
Ok. I've read the FAQs, scoured the Linux newsgroups and even contacted the
author of ipmasqadm (who verified my configuration) and I still can't get
simple port forwarding to work. This is driving me nuts. Any suggestions
are greatly appreciated.
The scenario:
Standard Redhat 6.0
Kernel 2.2.5-15
ipchains-1.3.8-3
ipmasqadm-0.4.2
Two ethernet interfaces
External is ip_aliased with three legal addresses (DNS registered)
Internal is a single reserved address and network
IP masquerading is configured and working for intenal -> external
connections. I use the following:
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.32.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQ
IP forwarding is enabled in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
The kernel and modules have been rebuilt with all the relevant options set.
The requirement:
I want to forward several ports from each external ip address to different
internal IP addresses. This seems like it should be simple. To forward a
simple telnet I use:
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_portfw
/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L x.x.x.x 23 -R 192.168.32.20 23
The result:
A telnet sessions to x.x.x.x (from a completely outside source) just
hangs. Closer investigation shows that port forward is working -- sort of.
The netstat output of 192.168.32.20 shows a SYN_RECV connection from the
remote address. Also, netstat -M on masquerading Linux box shows a correct
entry for the translation. Nevertheless, the conversation is never
completed and the session just hangs.
I've also tried adding several ipchains, in particular:
ipchains -I forward -p tcp -s 192.168.32.20/32 23 -j MASQ
-- with no luck. Unless I misunderstand the ipchains syntax this seemed
redundant anyway...
Am I missing something obvious?
TIA.

Thanks for your reply. I was not able to find the corresponding file, but I did remove

Subject: Reomte Phone control?
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 09:32:20 -0600
I'm sure in some fashion this can and has been done - I would like to
'control' my linux (RH 6) box via a telephone call to and linux mounted
modem.
I guess it would be much like calling your answering mashing and playing
your messages. So, when I would call my house linux would answer the
phone and if a given number string was entered ( by me the caller ) it
would run a particular script ( i.e. fire off ppp for remote access ).
If no code was received then no action would be taken and the call would
default to the answering machine.
I know people have there boxes send them pager messages, it almost sound
like the reverse of what I need?
I have looked at the LDP howtos and minis, nothing jumped out. Any
resource suggestions or has anyone done such a thing - please send it my
way.
Thanks!

I'm an absolute Linux newbie and I've got some probs with my LAN.
I've got two machines at home. On the one machine is Win98/SuSE Linux 6.1
and on the other is Win NT4 SP3. My network from Win98 to Win NT is perfect.
Both machines have the function of a file server, that means that I can use
the Win NT harddisk from the Win98 machine and the other way round. No
probs. Now I decided to test Linux and I want the same network functions
like under windows. So I installed Linux parallel to Win98. This was no
prob, too. Then I installed Samba 2.0.3 and tried to configure the smb.conf.
There the probs begins...
In Linux I created two users: my father and me (my father normaly use the NT
machine). My first aim is that the Linux machine becomes a file server so
that my father can use my harddisk. When I log in to Win NT with the same
user name I created under Linux, I can browse to the users home directory.
This is all right. But I don't have any write access.
Here's my smb.conf (without any comments):
Most of the lines were created automatically by the setup program.
[global]
workgroup = privat
guest account = nobody
keep alive = 30
os level = 2
public = yes
security = share
printing = bsd
printcap = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
map to guest = Bad User
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255 {comment: 192.168.0.1 =
Linux machine 192.168.0.2 = NT machine}
wins support = yes
[homes]
comment = Heimatverzeichnis
browseable = yes
read only = no
writeable = yes
create mode = 0750
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
printable = yes
public = no
read only = no
create mode = 0700
directory = /tmp
Another question: If I delete the line "public = yes" in the global-section
I haven't got any access from the NT machine to the home directory. It
appears a dialog box where I had to log in with a user name and a password.
If I try to log in with the same user name like I created under Linux it
appears an error message of the form: "You can't log in from this machine".
Can you explain this to me ?
My second problem is that I don't see the Linux machine in the NT network
neighborhood. I configured samba as a WINS Server (concrete: smb.conf) and
specify the Linux machine's IP-address on the NT machine, but it doesn't
work What have I done wrong ?
Please give me step by step instructions (in easy English, because I'm
German) how I get full write access and how I can see the Linux machine in
the network neighborhood.
Thank you very much
See you later

OK, look in this file. What does the Message-ID: header line say? This
is what fetch uses to determine if the article has been posted
already. It looks like your ISP's news server is telling fetch the
article is already posted. If leafnode isn't generating unique ID's it
would cause this problem. You might check a couple of test posts to
make sure they are unique.
