This is a reference to NIS not NFS ?? Went to sunsite, and it
was still 97 stuff for NFS. Does anyone have any updated
guides for the 2.2 kernels?

Subject: Web Server Tuning (Kernel Upgrade) for RedHat 6/Kernel 2.2.5
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 08:09:01 -0400
Folks,
Having a frustrating time getting good info on Kernel Tuning.
We are currently running RedHat 6/Kernel 2.2.5 and not terribly
impressed with performance. Have read some "good stuff" on both
Linux and Apache Tuning at:
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/citi-netscape
A bit frustrated with the Linux tuning -- the above recommended
adjusting kernel params snd_cwnd * send_cwnd_cnt -- but didn't give
any recommended values, how to do it, or rationale? Same with
setting /proc parameter netdev_max_backlog
We run primarily web servers with a lot of outbound traffic, anyone
have experience with trying to adjust the MTU size of ethernet
interfaces to get better througput?
On the above site read some more "good stuff" about improving
the Linux scheduling algorithm -- we would like to upgrade our
Kernel, but don't know what would incorporate some of these changes
and also be a good fit in our existing RedHat 6 environment.
Must be a lot of folks out there serving up web pages on an
Apache/Linux platform. Any wisdom here would be a great help to
all.
Best regards!

If you have the kernel source loaded, take a look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/alias.txt. If you don't, this should get you
started...

IP-Aliasing:
=========================
o For IP aliasing you must have IP_ALIAS support included by static
linking.
o Alias creation.
Alias creation is done by 'magic' iface naming: eg. to create a
200.1.1.1 alias for eth0 ...
# ifconfig eth0:0 200.1.1.1 etc,etc....
~~ -> request alias #0 creation (if not yet exists) for eth0
and routing stuff also ...
# route add -host 200.1.1.1 dev eth0:0 (if same IP network as
main device)
# route add -net 200.1.1.0 dev eth0:0 (if completely new network wanted
for eth0:0)

can anyone help me out od this one;
i have a local network of win95 machines.
the server runs SuSE 6.1
currently I have an ISDN connection to my ISP using SyncPPP.
my local net has fixed IP addresses in the 192.168.100.0 range
I use firewalling and masquerading to connect the lan to the internet.
I want to replace the iSDN link with a cable modem link.
unfortunately:
A) the cable ISP company uses DHCP to configure the connection
B) using standard SuSE setup, this fluks everything I have.
I cannot get my box to use DHCP on eth1 and fixed IP on eth0

I have only used xdsl with uswest. Ask alot of question before you
sign up for anything. uswest has no ideal with linux is so you will
not be any help or support. They are geared to windows/apple stuff.
Ask questions like what type of router they offer? What is the
version of the router software? Is the router internal or exteranl?
All the questions will inpact what you can do. With uswest the
interal cisco 605 will not work with linux. You must get the external
router 675. uswest has movedmoving ALL folk to route/ppp
connections. This you must learn about NAT tables and the like.
Subscribe to comp.dcom.xdsl. Like any ng there is good and bad help
there.
I am happy with my service and connection with uswest but some folks
are not. There are problems with cos 2.1 and below. Cisco is
releasing a newest version that should fix many of the bugs. We'll
see <smile>

Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 14:19:23 GMT
I just fought this battle last night AND WON! The steps may be a bit weird
but here's how I got it to work. It may be a rough hack. I also use dhcpd
to assign IP addresses on my lan.
Try the following:
1. Make cable modem NIC eth0. Configure your files accordingly.
2. Make your LAN work off eth1. Configure files accordingly.
3. Configure your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to the
following (not no NETMASK or IPADDR):
DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
GATEWAY=xx.xx.xx.xx (your ISP gateway)
IPXNETNUM_802_2=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_3="no"
IPXNETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP=""
IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no"
IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no"
USERCTL=yes
4. Configure ifcfg-eth1 like the following:
DEVICE="eth1"
IPADDR="192.168.100.1"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_2=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_3="no"
IPXNETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP=""
IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no"
IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no"
USERCTL=yes
5. Configure /etc/sysconfig/network like the following:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4="yes"
HOSTNAME="your.com"
DOMAINNAME=yourdomain.com
GATEWAY="xx.xx.xx.xx (as above)"
GATEWAYDEV="eth0"
NISDOMAIN="yourdomain.com"
6. Add your hostname and client login name (using 0.0.0.0) to /etc/hosts
7. Configure ipchains appropriately to firewall the thing.

I think it indicates that the network-coard does not work well. You have
no packets send/received at all.

What are your rules?
On some Unix systems you have to add a route like
route add -host 255.255.255.255 eth0

Mind if I join this thread?
I'm having the same problem. Here is my situation:
I have a Linux (RH5.2) and Sparc station (Solaris 2.5) I want to add to
my network. The network lines to both systems are working - I can use
windoze machines on them and they work fine.
The ethernet addresses are recognized with "ifconfig -a" on both
systems. When I attempt to ping:
My Linux system goes through the motions and when I finally control-C
out I get: "XXX packets transmitted, 0 packete received, 100% loss"
The Sparc station will eventually time out and say "no answer from
Linux"
>From these responses, I assume that both systems are reaching the net,
but they are not able to reach each other.
The Linux system tells me which IP address it is attempting to ping and
it is the correct IP address for the Sparc.
The Sparc does not give any diognostic info and I do not know how to get
any.
My /etc/hosts files seem to be set up correctly - I've checked and
rewritten them a dozen times.
IP address for Linux is 192.168.100.1
IP address for Sparc is 192.168.100.2
What have I overlooked and what can I check next????
Any assistance is appreciated at this time. I'll check the newsgroups,
but would appreciate a copy of any reply to my email address as well.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Re: samba setup problem
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 10:49:06 -0400
Deja Vu ... I just experienced this last week.
Setting up Samba was a rocky, bumpy road for me, so keeping
track of what changed fixed what problem is still unclear.
But I did experience this exact problem for a short time and
I have a few suggestions:
1) You are using the class C address 192.168.1.1 for the
machine that runs your Samba server. I believe that your
netmask is wrong - RFC 1918 defines the class C private
network address as 192.168/16 which means that your
nmask should be 255.255.0.0. Check to see if your
intranet is set up for this netmask (rc.inet1 should
contain ifconfig calls that establish all of this). Better yet
the output from the netstat -rn command
should contain a line that looks something
like this...
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt
Iface
......
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0
0 0 eth0
......
In this case eth0 interfaces to my intranet.
This may not directly fix your problem but it is always a good idea to
stick with the standards in the RFCs
NOTE: changing this doesn't mean you have to change the address of
you Samba server - 192.168.1.1 is still a valid address.
2) Now that you have that fixed try entering this into the [global]
section
of smb.conf:
interfaces = 192.168.1.1/16
... where 192.168.1.1 is still the IP address of the Samna server. This
next line
may also help; again put this in the [global] section .....
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
This may or may not work - but what do you want for nothing. The reason
I keyed on this is because of the following paragraph in DIAGNOSIS.txt:
And yet another possible cause for failure of TEST 3 is when the subnet
mask
and / or broadcast address settings are incorrect. Please check that
the
network interface IP Address / Broadcast Address / Subnet Mask settings
are
correct and that Samba has correctly noted these in the log.nmb file.
Good luck. You are doing a good thing here and Samba is great product.
I currently
have all the PCs in my house networked and using the Samba server as a
print
and file server. Don't give up.

done this very thing in RedHat. I "manually" specified the ipfwadm
command line and stuck it in a rc.script. This works because you can
masquerade from a specified interface, ie. eth0 which is what will be
dhcp configured. I don't have the exact syntax for you, but if you
really need it I can get it for you. Also, don't try doing this using
only one card and aliases, that gets much more difficult.

simple cards like teles 16.3 (not the 16.3c) work fine

Any with siemens-chipset will do fine; f.e. teles, avm etc.

So you dont have access to port 80 (or any other below 1024)
> If it is, then how do I do it or which program do I have to use?
you can use ipportfw. setup incoming packets to port 80 on the firewall
to be forwarded to port 8080 (or something else above 1024) and let your
www server listen there.

Subject: NIS: ypserv & tools don't communicate well
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 10:59:13 -0400
I am using the NIS software that came with the Slackware 4.0 release. I
have read the NIS HOWTO and I
THINK I have everything setup correctly. The client can find the
server, and the server is not giving me
any errors. However, when I try to test the setup by running 'ypcat
hosts' either on the server or on another
machine on the same subnet the following happens.
On the server running 'ypserv -d' I see the following:
ypproc_all_2_svc(): [From: 192.168.1.2:1317]
domain = "price.fam"
map = "hosts.byaddr"
Found: price.fam/hosts.byaddr (0)
ypdb_close() called
connect from 192.168.1.2
Found: price.fam/hosts.byaddr (0)
-> First value returned.
but on the client side I get the following:
scott:~> ypcat hosts
No such map hosts.byaddr. Reason: YP server error
It almost seems like they are running 2 different versions, like ypcat
expects to get the entire file but
ypserv expects to send one value, get a response, send the next value,
get a response, etc. I can post
all my config files if I need to but I thought maybe someone had seen
this before. I have tried to
determine what versions of ypserv are compatible with what versions of
the other software but I have
not had much luck. I assumed the versions shipped with Slackware 4.0
were compatible and I have just
done something wrong, Any help would be nice.
Thanks

Does masqerading and firewalling same
outside: SyncPPP using ISDN (Ippp0) cablemodem DHCP eth0
following problems:
when I configure suse linux to use dhcp, I cannot edit my network setup
anymore (in YaST 'Base Netwoerk Configuration'turns white and is not
selectable.
My second Ethernet card is not set up (local net: RTL-8029, cable: 3c503),
eg. the modules aren't even loaded.
so how can I make:
my local net stay the same, but swap out the isdn for cable, without tearing
everything to peices.

If they are Plug and Play, pnpdump will read the PnP info from them.
