Subject: securing sendmail from spammers
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 07:21:19 -0500

I keep reading about problems first time mail administrators have with
spammers relaying thousands of messages from their server.  However, I
haven't seen any info on how to prevent this from happening.  I have
O'reilly Sendmail and I haven't found any pertinent information
[although the book is nearly as cryptic as sendmail.cf].  I'm using
RedHat 6.0.  I see an option in linuxconf regarding the problem, but it
doesn't give any details and I am reluctant to check the box not knowing
what it will do.  Any links or help would be appreciated.

Subject: Squid not working for http clients
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 12:18:07 GMT

I have configured Linux 6.0 with ipchains, squid
and cache only DNS as a firewall between our
internal and leased line external network.
Ipchains masquerades ftp connections properly,
but Internet explorer cannot work with this squid
proxy (in Win98 clients).  I am presently using
the proxy of the ISP and http is fine but is a
bit slow.  How to correct the problem so that my
http clients can use my Linux proxy?  I do not
know what has gone wrong with the squid
configuration.  Squid also does not seem to cache
anything as there is nothing except that the
server is ready and listening to http requests on
port 3128. I am using a simple squid.conf file
only, with http_access allow all and icp_access
allow all and acl all.  I am using the default
port 3128.  Ipchains forward masqueraded.  Can
anyone help.

Thanks,
Valli.

 first thing to check would be that the lock demon is running (and working
to specs :-( I have seen this on other system combinations and lockd was
usually involved.

yes. actually if i do a ping from the eth1 net (192.168.1.x) to the 
eth0 net (192.168.3.x) it traverses the linux router. a reply packet is 
generated but it gets stuck on the router. it appears in the tcpdump
of eth0, but it never appears in the forwarding chain, nor in the 
tcpdump of eth1.( i inserted a logging rule in the forwwarding chain)
if i do a ping from the eth0 net to the eth1 net the echo-request packet
also gets stuck someweher between the eth0 interface of the router and
the kernels networking code. 

i don�t understand this, why does forwarding work from eth1 -> eth0 but
not the other way ??

btw: i also tested tcp and udp packets. same problem :((

I'm going to assume that your cable-modem is on eth0 for this example.

So at the command line (as root) enter these commands (these work for
me):

ifconfig eth0 down
killall dhcpcd
dhcpcd -h cc1003148-a eth0
# you might need to include the -r switch with the dhcpcd command
depending on your ISP.

This will: take the network device eth0 off-line, stop the dhcp client
daemon, and re-initialize your eth0 interface to the cable-modem.

Does that improve your ping?

Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 10:52:35 -0400

OK....I was curious about Linux OS (as I'm bored with Windows and MS).

I installed it (really clunky installation compared to Windows) on a
PII-333 with 128 mg ram.  All went ok though.  Found my mouse.

After starting it, I wanted to set up a connection to my ISP.
Bellsouth.net.  I have a US Robotics external modem.  Detected it.

Used (Linux Mandrake) KPPP to set up my connection.  Dials ok...but then
it just sits there waiting for "pppd" to come up.  What the heck is
that????

I mean, this of all things today should be the most easiest thing to do
on a "modern" os shouldn't it???  I've tried now for two hours (reading
the ppp docs on HOWTO, Linux in 24 hours, etc., etc.) and I still can't
figure this out.

Is it really this hard????  Man, if it is I'm going back to the "safety
zone" because this is nothing more than one big headache.  Although I
have to admit...there is something distinct about it that I can't put my
finger on.

I have an NT box too with a Netgear ethernet card in it.  Read some
about Samba (or something like that).  I have no idea how to connect my
Linux box to the NT one...in Windows it's sooooo easy.

What's the deal with Linux making some tracks now?????  If it's this
hard it'll never "sell" to the general public.

Anyone know what that software might be called?  I just
searched Freshmeat for "latency", no joy.

I need to know how to make a interactive window to make a PPP
connection as in Win95/98 within Xwindow. CAn I use minicom and
then somehow start a PPP connection? Does anyone have an idea?

I'm having the same problems and I'll try the 2.2.10 kernel but I've
tried 2.2.5, 2.2.12, 2.2.9-27mdk and I've about given up hope.  FTP
works fine on RedHat 5.1/5.2 but I haven't been able to get a 128Mb
file across with the 2.2 kernel.  Any clues would be greatly
appreciated.
