I'm using NFS+NIS, the users have their home directory in a NFS server.
When they login the following message appears in the server's console:
fh_verify: home/username permission failure, acc=1, error=13
where home/username is their home directory. Everything else seems to
be right. Any idea?

Subject: Re: dhcpd won't start
Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 21:28:51 GMT
Hi Bob,
I'm a newbie myself. A first look at the information you provided
gave me the following impressens:
1. the dhcpd.conf file looks veru cluttered
2. There may be syntax errors in the file in the sense that you
comment a lot of the information out using "#".
3. There may be some confusion about network addresses, IP addresses
and address range to serve.
So, going with points number 1 and 2 above, the active portion of your
file looks like this:
option domain-name "bda.com";
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
subnet 4.33.3.35 netmask 255.255.248.0 {
option broadcast-address 4.33.7.255;
option routers bat.bda.com;
}
host bat {
hardware ethernet 00:A0:C9:82:C1:E8;
server-name "bat.bda.com";
}
So, what's missing?
1. When I set up my system with 3 NICs, I got the impression that you
have to define a subnet for every card.
2. I don't see a range parameter in the subnet definition that would
tell dhcpd what addresses to hand out.
3. None of the addresses mentioned in you posting (even those in the
comment lines) indicate that you are using the addresses for private
networks (10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x) that you assign to
the clients -- that's kind of dangerous.
So, my third and last point (for the moment) is about network
addresses versus IP addresses and what Netmask have to do with it. I
have a hard time to believe that your subnet actually starts at
4.33.3.35. That looks to me more like an IP address for your host. How
do you find what the network address is? Read Section 5.1.4 of the
NET-3-Howto and Section 7 the IP-Subnetworking miniHowto. The other
stuff in those howtos is worth reading, too.
Hope this helps somewhat,
Ruedi

True Sygate is best stuff here, but since you're running linux aswell, go
for the masquerading this has a high degree of "do-it-yourself", but it sure
works mighty fine.
but I don't get what you were saying about the 2nd nic? how else would you
connect the second pc? you can't use the bnc connector simultanously on the
same card.

Subject: Dual Ethernet + NFS + Dual Tapes
Date: 28 Aug 1999 22:27:53 GMT
We are planning to put together a Linux system to be our "backup server"
for about 20 SGIs and 25 Linux boxes. This machine will have dual AIT
tape drives. My idea is to equip the backup server with 2 100Base-T
cards and to NFS mount the disks on the other systems to this system
(total disk space on all systems is now about 1.1 TB, and will probably
quadruple in the next 2 years). With 2 Ethernet adapters, I figure to
stream data to the two tapes simultaneously. Clearly, I need to set
things up so that the data comes to tape drive A from a source connected
on Ethernet card 1, and to tape drive B from Ethernet card 2. I figure
on doing this by setting up the route tables so that half the systems
are routed to by NIC 1 and half by NIC 2. The systems are set up on
a set of switching hubs, so we should be able to get full speed data
transfer on both NIC lines from 2 systems at once.
Does this make sense? Is there a simpler way to do what I want?
Thanks in advance -- bob cox

Hi guys,
I picked up two ISA network cards. They were a cheap buy, $15 for both. No
drivers or model numbers. Is there any probing software out there that can
give me the exact make & model of these cards? I know one is a DEC, and the
other is an SMC, but I'm having a hell of a time trying to get these to work
properly on Linux Or Windows...
Any help with this would greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark.

This is a known bug in all Sun-licensed NFS-server code. IBM has been
informed of this, but I don't know if they have incorporated the fix by
SUN yet.
Strangely enough, Linux seems to be the only OS that triggers it.
I'm able to reproduce it with bos.net.nfs.client 4.3.2.9 on the
nfs-server and using the mount-options rsize=8192,wsize=8192 on the
linux-client (running Linux 2.2.12).
My standard-test is compiling glib: ./configure --prefix=/tmp/foo ; make
It usually fails with messages like:
BFD: gstring.o: invalid string offset 13824 >= 77 for section `'
hash-test.o: file not recognized: File truncated
And so on...
The workaround we use is to mount with rsize=2048,wsize=2048 ... We get
write-performance that sometimes closes in on a floppy, but it works for
us.

Well as to the cause hmmm...? Need more info
But you need to look at these files,(I havent ever bothered with linuxconf)
Look at:
DMESG >> file_to_look_at (or grep eth0 /var/log/dmesg)
grep eth0 from this file (or appropiate eth*) Look at the error...
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or if you use a different # eth*)
Make sure these files contain the correct settings.
when done making necessary changes to these files
/etc/rc.d.init.d/network stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start

I have recently installed RH 5.2. I need a little help with the route set up
so my win95 clients can see the internet. I am able to connect to my ISP and
surf from my server, but the clients can only see the web pages on the

protocol. I think the packets are just not being routed out, or being
received back.

Recall my previous message describing the problems mounting nfs
partitions. The kernel can mount root, but when init tries to mount the
other partitions, it gives the following messages:
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
lockd_up: make_sock failed, error=-5
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
lockd_up: no pid, 2 users??
This all worked fine when the client was using kernel 2.0.36. Can anyone

Frank,
'bing' stands for "bandwidth ping". It is a tool that allows
you to measure the bandwidth between any 2 routers. Probably
the most important feature is that you can be at a point A
on the Internet and from there you can measure the BW between
points B and C.
In my particular case I manage several sites around the US
connected to the Internet through several ISPs of widely
varying quality levels. At a certain site, we were told
that our connection to the Internet is 56 Kbps, but I suspect
that somewhere inside my provider's network there is an
unavoidable "slow link" much slower than 56K and therefore
we will never be able to achieve the BW that we are paying for.
There is a very similar tool called "traceroute+bing" that can
trace the list of routers and also give you the BW at every hop.
I have been unable to make that tool work (the 'bing' part
always says "unknown"), that's why I am looking for a standalone
bing.

Can you do this perfectly on any currently popular microprocessor? I
vaguely remember reading that there was an internal fight over the
PowerPC, and some people were unhappy because IBM chose not to make the
PowerPC architecture completely virtualizable. If true that's a shame;
having worked on IBM's VM OS I understand how true hardware supported
virtual machines can be extremely useful. Also, what about Alpha,
Sparc, PA-RISC, and Merced?
