Linux users believe in ethics.  That is why we created the free, open
source operating system - so people wouldn't have to be unethical and
make copies of it.

If you choose to run the commercial software on Linux, that is your
decision.  That's when you decide that you are going to pay for the
software.  However, there are FREE clones available for just about
every possible task you could think of.  It's like deciding if you
want to use Wordpad in windows forever, or if you are going to invest
the money in a decent office suite.

IPChains is the best way to go.  You can run it on Red Hat 5.2, but you
would have to upgrade a bunch of packages and recompile a 2.2.x kernel
for the machine.  I'd recommend just starting out with Red Hat 6.0.  No
sense in starting to use the old stuff.

You don't need IPX or NFS on the Linux box if you only have one Linux
box.  You would only need Samba for that.  At any rate, what you are
describing is very possible.  I would also question if you actually
need DHCP.  For instance, @Home claims that you need to use DHCP but
most of the Linux users just set a static IP and the system never
complains about it.  If you want to do DHCP, 6.0 is the best way for
you to go just because of the new DHCP capabilities...

Subject: Computer slows down after installing 3c900-COMBO
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 21:29:40 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello. 

I am attempting to set up a small 486 as a web server on my network. 
Just so I can test my pages on a real web server before uploading to 
the host. 

I dug out a AMD 486 with 20mb of ram, two hard drives (525 and 610), a
NEC ATAPI 8x4 CDROM. And I swiped a 3COM 3c900 PCI network card from 
another computer. 

Long story, but HR 6.0 will not see the CDROM. Nor will this computer 
boot from the cdrom. Nor does autoboot work(image.img missing). And 
the SUPP.IMG file is missing. Anyway, I got it installed. Linux found 
the network card. Everything installed fine. 

Here's the kicker. With the network card module installed. The 
computer is SLOW. Booting takes a good hour. It pauses for 10 minutes 
and does nothing, then continues on. Without the card module, it boots
quick and runs good.

What's going on? This is a fresh install of HR 6. 

After it boots, with the card module, the computer is slow, but "top" 
shows that the CPU is 98% free. No bottle necks. The network card 
works, as I can ping in and out. 

Thanks for the help. 

Eddie

Um, no, it doesn't authenticate the mount at all.  Please get out your
copy of the Daemon Book and read pages 324-325.  (Note that the
implementation of this part of the protocol is not included in FreeBSD
because of the ITAR issues.)

Squid use to ran fine with Redhat 5.2 on Alpha (Now RedHat is just like M$
things tend to stop running in new releases so perhaps you are right). But
I think you have misonfigures your netscape clients
you should add the proxy manually and add the up address of you alpha server in
the ip address section for HTTP and FTP
and set port to 3128 (the default port where squid listens on).

i assume the modems are connecting, the problem lays in the

or should I just install without network, update the kernel and hope the newer

    For one thing, it's a bit easier to navigate through the myriad
collection of Linux programs.  Not only is there a simple javascript enabled
browser that allows you to easily download the programs onto your machine,
but each section has an HTML interface that shows you what version the
program is, where its homepage and FTP download sites are and a brief
description as to what the program can do.  This section is still undergoing
development.  Also, it is updated daily with the latest programs.
    I realize that it may not have every single program that otehrs may be
offering, but it's all source code and I find it very useful to have around
as a System Administrator.  Plus, it's nice to have handy when you
demonstrate Linux on a friend's box.
    Hope that helps.  I like it and have been collecting these programs for
some time now.  This CD is just a natural outgrowth of my own Linux needs
that I wanted to share with others.

The 2.2.x kernels are very very stable though I suggest you uise the 2.2.11
since there are some security fixes wich are important.

The other question is, why replace a working system if you don't need any

To get rid of the MS stuff?  Well the solution is pretty simple.  Connect
the cable modem to a Linux box, and run IP Masquerading.  Then you can
completely get rid of the "Sygate" software and Windows.  With IP Masq.
the Windows machine will also have transparent access to the internet
through the Linux box...

Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 17:10:52 GMT

I have a problem making a connection to a machine at another
site... this has always worked fine in the past, so I know our
local setup is ok.

when I do a traceroute to their machine, it goes out through my
router, through my local provider, and then gets stuck at
posip2-0.core1.Washington1.Level3.net

when he does a traceroute to me, he sees it getting stuck at
Chicago1.Level3.net,

So it would seem that the people at Level3.net are having trouble.

How do I circumnavigate them?
can I explicitly tell my machine to assume that the Level3 stuff
is an invalid path to follow?

and by the way, accessing both myself and the guy I'm trying to contact
from a third party machine on a different network works fine (I tried
it from a couple places accessible from www.traceroute.org)

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

To an NT Server acting as a domain controller, Samba looks like another NT
machine, so all you need is a login on the NT server.
DHCP is something else and doesn't apply to samba, but you will need to
somehow aquire an IP from DHCP server.  Look in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs for
some leads. I think there is a mini HOWTO on DHCP.

Subject: Routing Configuration
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 18:22:39 -0400

We have LAN with static IP address assigned to each node, and a gateway
router connect us to ISP through T1.  All Win95 node have TCP/IP set using
DNS enabled with host, domain, and DNS search orders, as well as static IP,
subnet mask, and gateway.  I applied the same way to Linux network
configurator, however it doesn't connect internet.  It prints out to lpd
printer on the LAN.  When I ping to local (or any) IP, no response comes
back.
I don't know how to set up this.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Hope you don't mind but I saw your PPP answere to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and thought I'd take a chance.
I have been using Linux (Slackware) for some time now but have never had
occasion to setup PPP.  My work has been with real
NIC cards.
I am using Slackware 4.0 and the KDE GUI at home.  In the KDE GUI there
is a setup script for PPP called 'kppp'.  I can get the damn thing to
dial into my  ISP and the ISP answeres, the modems do their negotiations
and then nothing.  If I do an 'ifconfig', I have only the local 'lo'
interface.  I have also tried dialing manually and still nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

This sounds like a security problem.  Does your system have SWAT
installed?  SWAT is a web (http) interface to the SAMBA set up that
allows you to play with the settings while changing them via your
browser.

Two place where you probably need to look.  One is the file where
Windows user names are being cross-referenced to local logins on the
system that you want to mount from.  The other is the password file
that is being checked when a user tries to access SAMBA services.
Also, check the SAMBA logs.  They should give you a clue as to why the
shares are being denied to you.

It might be your 'ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.2/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0' line.
The '-D 0.0.0.0/0' resolves to a null address.  Try changing it to
'192.168.1.1'.

I am not that familiar with ipfwadm as I use ipfw and ipchains, but if that
still doesn't work try reversing the sequence of the rules.
Please let me know how it turned out.
