Nope, there's nothing in the syslog; the only noticeable problem is that
pings get a lot slower, and I have trouble connecting to my box from the

You can try this. It was the only thing that worked for me. I am using
IBM as a service provider, so things like "ibm.net" and the IP addresses
of the nameservers (DNSs) should be changed; also, the
"Service.Youraccount.Userid" part probably only needs to be your
userid-- it all depends on who your ISP is.
B. Linux PPP Set-up Procedures
Make sure the /etc/resolv.conf file has the following information:
domain ibm.net
nameserver 165.87.194.244
nameserver 165.87.201.244
To invoke the PPP daemon, type the following command at the prompt:
/usr/sbin/ppp-on
To disconnect, execute the following command at the command prompt:
/usr/sbin/ppp-off
or you can just kill the process with kill -9 pid (where pid is the
process id running the current connection).
If you'd like to troubleshoot a connection problem or just want to see
the login process, execute the following command before dialing in:
tail-f /var/adm/messages
Note: The 'messages' file may also be found in /var/log directory.
Please update the following files:
==================================
/etc/ppp/options
# Please replace the [your port speed] tag with the appropriate
# throughput speed desired for the connection. You can experiment
# with speeds including 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
#
# Replace [service.YourAccount.YourUserid] with your actual login
# account and userid codes. The Service type is represented by
# "Internet". Corporate or business users may access other Services
# including:
# - secureip = Access to your companies private Intranet.
# - dualaccess = Access to the Internet and your companies Intranet.
# - fixedip = Access to the fixed IP Address service.
# - landial = Access to your companies Lan via a dial connection.
# Contact your Service Administrator (SA) for information on access

# Please replace the [your dial number] tag with the appropriate

Try ssh. You need to have sshd running on the server. Also need
to configure ssh such that you can ssh to your server without
the need for your password (check the ssh-keygen manpage).
Now run the following command
ssh -h <x-server-name> <application> &

You need to convert Windows-style newlines to Linux-style newlines. You can use
the utilities fromdos and todos for Linux, it's not difficult to write one for
Windows, and I'm going to guess that it shouldn't be tough to find one for
Windows either.
FTP automatically converts newlines in ASCII mode, but I don't know if there's a
way to set up Samba to do this. I believe that with IE5, though, you can get
drag-and-drop with FTP sites...

Subject: User Authentication
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 02:02:16 -0700
Hi All.. Hoping someone can help me out with this one...
I have five Linux machines on a network, with one acting as a mailhost and
also performing RADIUS authentication to an Ascend MAX stack for dial-in
authentication. My question is this... Since I have to build mail accounts
on the mailhost anyway (aka user accounts) is there any way I can perform
remote authentication services for the other Linux boxes through this method
as well? This would eliminate the need for duplicate accounts, etc.. In
the Novell world, it's called NDS, but I'd like something similar for
Linux..
I'm guessing LDAP, but it's obviously.. well.. insecure and kind of crappy.
Is there any other alternatives? The scenario I see is this..
User A telnets into Linux box 2... Linux box 2 queries the mailhost, which
then accepts the user ID and the password.. And the user is admitted.. This
is basically how RADIUS works, and as I said, would really make life
easier..
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Squid is simply used for FTP/HTTP.. Thats it.. Basiclly,
its a caching "HTTP/FTP" proxy server and has nothing to do with
POP/SMTP/etc.. What I usually do, is setup transparent proxy'ing
(with Squid for its cool caching), and setup IP Masq. for other
servives (remote POP services, real audio stuff.. games.. etc)...
Sounds like you could use to setup ip masq....

It's called MS Proxy server.. $700. you might want to swap them around and
use Squid for Linux.. (free).
The Linux box should be able to share well (files) with the 95 machine.. but
I've never been able to get NT to work right with it.. NT uses encrypted

Do you have more references? It is always easier to get a fix from
IBM if you can tell them that it is a known problem. :-)
: Strangely enough, Linux seems to be the only OS that triggers it.
Not really, we have the same problem with an HP-UX client against an AIX
4.2.1 NFS server (we didn't have the problem with 3.2.5 servers). I have
reported this problem to IBM at the end of 1997, beginning of 1998 (don't
remember exactly), but the fix they sent me was for bos.net.nfs.client,
not for bos.net.nfs.server. We still have the problem, and I 'solved'
it by writing a wrapper for the compilers on the HP box, that creates .o
files in the local /tmp and moving them to the NFS server afterwards.
Same for the linker. I guess IBM didn't do anything about it because
the HP-UX client is still running HP-UX 9.0x, and IBM claims it is an
HP problem.....
: 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...
Hmm, the HP linker doesn't complain, but the executables won't run.
I get either a core dump or the program starts writing strange
characters to stderr and sits there forever.

Hmm... Being in the Vines world.. you are used to StreetTalk.. (I'm from the
NDS world and can relate to the feeling of going into the dark ages without
a DS).
I think if I were to approach it, and you wanted to use Linux... Look at
doing a few Netware servers (5) for the NDS capability, and then deploying
Caldera Linux with the NDS for Linux add-on (It's a bit pricey, but a drop
in the bucket of the cost).
With that.. you would be able to sit in NWAdmin and build your user accounts
all day and they would propagate around the Linux boxes..
I've seen it running, but I've never had to support it.. I'd recommend a
test environment first.
For Email... I'm a huge Notes fan.. nothing comes close in my opinion.. R5
is in open Beta for Linux.. Might be a valid option.

What would you want to do with a VLAN on a server?

Subject: Next basic IPCHAIN question syn, tcp vs udp vs icmp

OK, -i with no -s is equivalent to -i ppp0 -s 0/0.
Next questions,
Nobody has any business connecting to my machine from outside, but
of course I'll need response traffic from what I'm doing. So that
would suggest that I should block all incoming SYN packets. But
don't I need to leave some hole open for active ftp to come back?
Blocking SYN packets works for tcp. Is there any equivalent for
udp?
I get the impression that it's common practice to block everything
to port 1024 and below, plus the X ports at 6000. Don't I need to
open the ftp-data port? Do I need some extra holes for my caching
nameserver?
I've also seen opinions from leave all ICMP open to block almost
all ICMP. What goes?
