Here's the solution:
Turn off 802.1Q port tagging on each VLAN.

Try "su -" when su'ing to root
from man su
Make the shell a login shell. This means the fol-
lowing. Unset all environment variables except
`TERM', `HOME', and `SHELL' (which are set as
described above), and `USER' and `LOGNAME' (which
are set, even for the super-user, as described
above), and set `PATH' to a compiled-in default
value. Change to USER's home directory. Prepend
"-" to the shell's name, to make it read its login
startup file(s).

Would the second IP address come through the same cable? If so, why add
it? It won't improve bandwidth, unless your ISP has some wierd policy.
Anyway, if for some reason it makes sense, and the two IPs come through
the same cable, you could probably use IP aliasing to give your NIC more
than one address.

Yeah....I think you're right. But I've created an smbpasswd for root and it
still won't let me in. I created a new user, named after my PC, and tried
to create an smbpasswd for it. But Linux won't let me. It keeps saying
"127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was: The specified password
is invalid." I have no idea why it does this. Do you?

That would not allow them to log onto the box even sitting in front of
it. If that's the case, then just put a "*" in the password field of
the /etc/shadow file of the user.
Using hosts.allow and hosts.deny would be a better way. Look at the
EXCEPT tag in hosts.deny

Subject: NFS security - how to turn some of it off?
Date: 19 Aug 1999 21:16:02 -0400
Here's the scenario:
My /etc/exports file consists entirely of:
/home (rw)
This should allow everybody to mount the volume, right? Wrong.
Most hosts, when they try to mount this volume, get "permission denied"
or similar errors. Whenever they attempt to mount the volume, lines
like these are appended to /var/log/messages:
<date> <host> mountd[###]: mount request from unknown host ##.##.##.##
I have found that if I add a hosts's name to /etc/hosts, then it will be
able to mount the volume, but not otherwise. It doesn't matter what OS
the host is running.
How do I turn off this kind of authentication? I tried adding entries
to /etc/hosts.allow, but it didn't do any good. I really don't want to
download my company's entire DNS table to be my /etc/hosts.
(I'm behind a corporate firewall, so there's no need for this kind of
security here.)

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please cc replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED], usenet is often difficult to
track.
My latest NIS+ client is behaving rather strangely. The client is
running on a new install of RH 6.0, the server is on Solaris 2.5.1. I
have been able to get other linux clients on my domain to work, but this
is the first machine I've tried with RH 6.0.
It appears that NIS+ is installed & running successfully, but it cannot
authenticate users correctly. nscd, keyserv, and nis_cachemgr all load
without complaint on boot. I can niscat any directory I want within the
domain, nisdefaults, nisping, etc.. all the tools seem to successfully
query the NIS+ server from my client. However, nis+ domain accounts
cannot be authenticated for login. ssh, telnet, rlogin, etc, all dump an
"Authentication failed" message to syslog. Yes, I've been able to
successfully initialize the cold start with nisinit, and I have a good
des credential for the client on the server, and the client is
registered in dns and the hosts table. pam_keylogin.so appears to be
compiled successfully and is installed in /lib/security.
Here are my nsswitch.conf and pam.d/login files.

Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 22:52:49 -0400
Oy, I see a lot of posts about 2nd NICs not working. I get farther than
most of these people, but not far enough.
I'm using RH6.0, and have mostly used the graphical control panel to set
up my NICs.
eth0 uses module rtl8139.
eth1 uses module tulip.
Both kernel modules load okay.
I've set up eth0 as my gateway to the Internet through cable modem and
MediaOne. That works. eth1 is the problem. I've set it up with a
class C address and mask. It activates fine -- ifconfig shows it "up"
okay. I can ping its IP address from within the machine, for what
that's worth.
When I ping the IP address on the Windows machine, on my hub the
activity lights belonging to eth1 and the Win NIC blink in sync. Tells
me the hub is getting a clear enough message from eth1 to know where to
send it on to. But no packets are ever returned.
When I ping eth1 from the Win machine, only one activity light blinks on
the hub -- the one belonging to the Win NIC, of course. The hub doesn't
know where eth1 is.
Suggestions much appreciated.

I got mine to work too after several re-entries of the networking
stuff in linuxconf. I agree, it stinks when it works and you don't

Subject: sqlinit: DBROOT must be set!!!
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 11:17:36 -0700
So far I've managed to install SuSE 6.1 but now I'm trying to get Apache
running but everytime I try to run load it I get the message: sqlinit:
DBROOT must be set!!!
Any help would be appreciated. I have the O'Reilly Apache book and the
SuSE manual but have not seen any reference to sqlinit or the error
message.
