Hello,
I was wondering if there is a better solution for streaming video than
NFS with jpg refresh.
We mount around ten NFS dirs with jpg files from remote servers, these
are mounted on the webserver from all over the US -- I was wondering if
anyone has heard of a better solution than this for posting remote (
from different locations) video to the web, while keeping it secure from
snoopy-folks.
If anyone has any ideas please email them to me:

There are various options available to share connections through Win98. I'm
using the Win98 SE upgrade. It has a service called ICS (Internet
Connection Sharing) that is easy to set up if you go with the defaults. You
can order it through MS at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/default2.htm
for around $20 + s&h.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I can ping Linux on my 486 from Linux or Windows on another machine but
cannot ftp or telnet. I can do all in the other direction and have an nfs
share from the 486 mounted on the other machine so the network is there.
inetd is running, ftp and telnet are installed and enabled in
/etc/services. The installation on the 486 was very basic, have I left
something out?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi,
do you want them added by accident? ;-)
To add the home-directories of your Users you simply have to edit your
sm.conf file. Add something like that (for example):
[homes]
browseable=yes
writable=yes
public=no
For any other share you'll add lines like that for example:
[any_other_share]
comment=This is any other share exported from my Samba-Box
path=/mnt
writable=yes
public=no
See the manpage of smb.conf for the correct paramters and values.
You can also use SWAT (Samba Web Admin Tool). It comes with samba.
You can use it to edit your samba Configuration through any WWW-Browser.
Hope it helps

Well, I've resolved everithing, in a simple manner: I've changed one of
the NIC!
The problem that I was experiencing was a kind of conflict between the
two cards - or between drivers - (not interrupts problems, nor I/O
base), i.e. there was a pci card (3com) together with an isa one (DEC
ewrk3) and seems that this isn't possible. I've also tried to use the
pci 3com with an isa 3com, but yet it wasn't functioning. Finally I used
another same card 3com pci... and all goes well. May be the cards should
use the same driver???
I don't have the answer, but my system is up :-)
Hope that could be useful ;-))

Subject: PPPD and Point-to-Point Compression?
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 18:05:37 +1700
Hi Everyone,
After over a week of hard work, I finally made PPTP-Linux
logon to the NT PPTP server. But only to find out that NT
PPTP Server insists on using the so called "Microsoft Point-
to-Point Compression" (MPPC), which my PPPD (version 2.3.9-
1) does not support. :(
So I would really like to know:
1. Is there a version of PPPD that supports MPPC?
2. If not, is there an implementation of MPPC available on
Linux that I can "integrate" (with little coding) into PPPD?
3. If not, is there a way to stop NT PPTP server from
insisting on MPPC?
You help is greatly appreciated.

And 1500 is the default setting of pppd so I don't think that's my

Subject: IP Masquerading and FTP on port other than 21
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 16:06:36 GMT
I have setup masquerading successfully using RH6.0
I can FTP using standard ports (21&20).
The problem arises when i try to connect to a FTP server
using port xx or xxx. I can connect and authenticate to
this server. However when the server tries to send
back a directory listing, the connection times out
and no directory listing is displayed.
I have read the IP chains HOWTO. The first impression
i get is that i have to open TCP ports above 1024 to 65536.
I don't want that wide open port access.
Is there a simpler way to get non standard port FTP access?
PS I have the FTP client set to PASV mode. This client is CuteFTP32
running under Win98.

I'm using RedHat 5.2 but this may help. I'm guessing you have a CD-ROM on
the box you are running linux on now. If not disregard this. You need NFS
support in the kernel of the 6.0 box (either module or compiled in). I used
it as a module. I tried using a samba share but had big trouble with the
second install disk. NFS did work fine. I mounted the CD-ROM on my
existing linux box. I then modified the /etc/exports file to export
/dev/CD-ROM. You can also use linuxconf to do this. I started the install
and picked NFS image. I had to use the IP address of the linux box (for
example 192.168.32.1 I can never remember if its E.I. or e.g. <g>) and
/dev/CD-ROM as the directory. After that it worked fine. I'm new to this
but if you have other questions let me know. Richard

Chances are your NE2000 card is a PnP, and some for reasons RH can't detect
it. Use the setup diskette that comes with the card to turn off PnP, then
use modprobe to detect the card again.

None of the above. From the SETUP file in ppp-2.3.8:
The recommended way to set up to dial an ISP is for the system
administrator to create a file under /etc/ppp/peers, named for the ISP
that you will be dialling. For example, suppose the file is called
/etc/ppp/peers/isp. This file would contain something like this:
cua0 # modem is connected to /dev/cua0
38400 # run the serial port at 38400 baud
crtscts # use hardware flow control
noauth # don't require the ISP to authenticate itself
defaultroute # use the ISP as our default route
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-isp'
If there are any other pppd options that should apply when calling
this ISP, they can also be placed in this file.
The /etc/ppp/chat-isp file named in the last line contains the script
for chat(8) to use to dial the ISP and go through any username/
password authentication required before PPP service starts.
This, of course, is just what Debian does (chatscripts go in
/etc/chatscripts. but that is minor). With this system you can have as
many isp's as you want, and the users do not access to any ports.
You don't need to edit any files to set this up on a Debian system:
pppconfig takes care of that via a whiptail UI. It also takes care of DNS.
