I just installed Red Hat 6 about 2 weeks ago on my laptop.
Everything was working fine until I tried to connect it to the network at
work.
I did the setup with linuxconf. After numerous attempts, I finally gave up
on the idea. Now I have a new problem.
When ever I start up Red Hat, I get several errors.
1. When httpd is starting is says it can't resolve localhost.localdomain
anymore. I have temporarily fixed that by setting the ServerName directive
manually.
2. When gnome is starting, it tells me that it can't lookup the internet
address for localhost.localdomain.
If I ping localhost, it returns 127.0.0.1, appears to be fine.
If I do an nslookup it says it can't find the server name for address
127.0.0.1
It doesn't appear to be resolving anything anymore.
My /ect/host looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
My box was a stand alone server before but now it acts like it is on a
network even though it isn't.
Any ideas how to fix this, and once I do this, what files do I need to back
up in case this happens again.
Thanks in advance.
Tony

This need to be the name of your PDC and optionally those of your BDC also and
not the domain name.

The right syntax is smbmount '\\halo\<SHARENAME>' /mount-point -U polidore [-W
telecon]. The -W telecon is not really needed because you specified TELECON as
workgroup in your smb.conf.
The purpose of this command is to mount a SMB share, so you need to use full UNC
: \\SERVER\SHARE and also the name of a directory to mount the share. This is
not a tool to log you on a SMB server.

The first method used by Samba to resolve a name to his IP address is by sending
a broadcast. But this work only for the machine on the same subnet and segment.
Is this the case for the machine called ROBERT. The second method is to look up
a WINS server. The third is to look up the lmhost file and the fourth is to
resolve the SMB machine name as an Internet name (using DNS or the /etc/hosts
file).
If some machines that you need to access are not on the same segment as you or
does not have the same broadcast address as your Linux server, you will need to
use one of the three last method.

For Samba to be able to join the domain TELECON, you will need to do the
following :
1) on the PDC, be sure to add a NT Workstation account in the Server Manager
for your Samba machine. Don't add a BDC or it won't work. This is done while
Samba is running.
2) On the Samba server, stop Samba and run the following command :
smbpasswd -j TELECON -r <PDC-NAME>
If the command succeed, you will find a file called TELECON.<SAMBA
NAME>.mac in the private directory of Samba. (Directory where you find the
smbpasswd file).
If you don't use any WINS server, be sure to have in the lmhosts file of Samba
the following line :
x.x.x.x PDC-NAME #DOM:TELECON
to be sure that Samba will use PDC-NAME as PDC of TELECON.

Don't get mad if this seems too elementary, but did
you set the network tcp/ip gateway on all those Win95/NT
machines to be 192.68.1.1(your Linux masquerading gateway)?

The reason I ask is it's not enough to give the NT or 95 box the
right IP address. You have to also set up in Control Panel|Networking
|TCP/IP|Gateway and put the address of the Linux box.

Subject: small company IMAP email planning: best way?
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 19:20:12 GMT
I need to set up a RedHat 6.0 system running the default IMAP server
for small corporate email use (~120 users). I'd simply like a little
reinforcement that my approach to setting up user accounts on this
machine is a good one. The following conditions apply to the user group
in question:
- none ever expect to use telnet or require shell access; email is
their only application
- all will access from Windows 9x boxes, using OUtlook Express or
COmmunicator 4.6 as their IMAP client
- only the administrator and one other supervisor expect to manage user
accounts and other system properties
With this in mind, is the following approach to a freshly installed
system the best, or am I missing something:
1) Install IMAP RPM and get it going, and configure MX pointer for DNS
to point to this machine.
1.5) Leave all other file settings and permissions in the system at
install default (again, RedHat 6.0)
2) Create all the user accounts with KDE User Manager or some other
script, assigning each mail user to GID 100 (users). Also, figure out
some secure process by which users update their shell passwords (web-
based?) so their accounts are secure
3) Assign the two administrators additional group access to the
group 'adm'
This should allow all ~120 new users to have immediate IMAP inbox
access, once their passwords are set. This seems like a very common
task, although no FAQ or How-To discussed it specifically. Is there
another published resource I should locate for LINUX-solely-as-mail-
server best practices?
Thanks gurus,

Have you tried using the "patched" Tulip driver that Netgear/BayNetworks

yes - smbmount. The syntax necessary depends on the kernel (2.0 or 2.1/2.2) and
the version of smbmount (Samba 2.0.5a changed it again).
Section 4.14 on my web-page goes a bit further into this, but 'smbmount -h'
should normally give you some clues.

Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 19:57:42 +0200
Hello,
I've got a pretty strange problem. I've setted up a dhcp server on rh
6.0 (other services like smbd are running too).
DHCPD-V2-BETA-1-PATCHLEVEL-6 is partly running without problems.
Win95/98/NT4 hasnt any problems to get an Ip via dhcp, but it seems to
be different under DOS.
When the DOS client makes an request and gets an IP he writes a file
named dhcp.prm which is hidden an readonly. I think in there is the
information which the client gots from the dhcp server. If i delete the
file the client gets a new IP an everthing works fine.. But if i leave
the file untouched the client sends request to the server but the server
doesnt make any replies.
Aug 23 19:53:56 artemis dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.2.16 from
00:10:5a:40:e0:a8 via eth0
and nothing more.
Under Windows the DHCP sequence looks quite well.. DHCPREQUEST ant then
a DHCPACK.
Befor we had the Linux DHPC server we had a Novell server which ran,
just like the linux box, over TCP/IP a dhcp server. We hadnt these
problems..
One thing was to add the net route 255.255.255.255, but its still the
same..
need help..
Thanks,

Owned by root is ok as long as users and groups also have read/write
privledges. Try looking at the man pages for 'chmod'. using chmod you
can set the r/w privledges for users and groups. Something like: chmod
666 myfile. You will have to be root or superuser to do this.

You have to configure a pap-secrets file, just using the pppd "login"

check. To avoid secrets in pap-secrets you can use the login option
to validate a caller and put a line like
"" * "" *

A `*' allows any remote name or IP address. The "" in the "client" and
secret fields says that any username or secret will do. I think that
2.2.3 needs the fourth field, which specifies what IP addresses the caller
can use. Check with man pppd. (The first field (client) may need a `*'
instead of the "", I'm not clear on this and neither are the man pages.)

The problem may have to do with the fourth field in pap-secrets, or

Start with IP Masquerading. The Linux box will be the gateway between
your local private network and the internet. With two ethernet cards in
the Linux box, you have all the pieces you need to implement it.

Don't worry, this won't happen.

No no no, it happened to me too !

OK. Here is what happened to me. I had a CDROM drive, but I could not
install from it (the install prog did not recognize it). The only way I
had to do it was via FTP. In fact, just like you.
The network card is somehow old, but it was recognized. Fine. The
problem appeared exactly at the same tiem as yours. With the sames error
messages.
The only problem is in the path you give. I can't remember exactly what
should be given, but I can tell I tried with and without the leading
slash, with and without the first, and then second, directory, and it
finally worked. You should try this. I know it's no really a good
explanation, but it works.
Goof luck

Hi.
I installed SuSe Linux 6.1 with kernel 2.2.7 a few weeks ago and it works
just fine. There is only on problem. I want to use two machines on one IP.
I have two ethernet cards installed on the linux machine and one ethernet
card on a laptop running on NT. I want the NT machine to get access to the
Internet through
the linux machine. I have read different HOWTO�s but I dont really know
where to start. I dont know if have to use routed, named or if I have to buy
a hub.
Thanks

You need to enable message relay.
Create a directory (if it doesn't already exist) called /etc/mail.
Create a file in it named relay-domains and simply list the domain names that
you want to forward mail to. Your internal domain should be one (like abc.com).
Next edit /etc/sendmail.cf and find the entry that looks like:
# Hosts that will permit relaying ($=R)
FR-o /etc/mail/relay-domains
and make sure the 'FR' line is uncommented.
Reboot and it should work
