Hi,
Have you managed to resolve this?
I've had the same problem since I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.9 on my RedHat
5.2 box. (I also upgraded Samba to 2.0.3 as recommended). I had no trouble
getting it working before and I've trawled through all the documentation I
can find.
Could you (or anyone else) tell me what to do?
Thanks

> Which browser can I use with Linux?
I use Netscape 4.6 on RedHat 6.0, however it is *very* buggy, much more
so than the Windows versions. Most of the Linux community is eagerly
awaiting Mozilla (www.mozilla.org) which you can already download, but
which is still a little rough around the edges. Some months ago I did
get sick of Netscape and started using Lynx (http://www.lynx.org/) but I
couldn't bear the text interface - that is not what the web is about!
Also, I found the usage of arrow keys in Lynx to be really irritating
(one minute you are using <- and -> to move around a text field, but if
you go too far you suddenly move to a different page).
KFM (http://www.kde.org/) also includes a web browser, but it is not as
full-featured as Netscape.

You need to reboot the machine after you create this file, if you have done
this and that doesn't work then just put the command `domainname
<name_of_your_nis_domain>` in your rc.local script.

Try look at the metasend program in the metamail package. Also,
various perl modules are available on a CPAN archive near you,

Isn't that what $R is doing... I have a line

which sets address for which I relay, and I believe it's bi-directional,
although I don't remember having actually run that test.
May do what you want, and a lot better than trying to maintain a list of
all known spammers on the net.

I'm using mgetty+sendfax to recieve incomming calls, and then I assign a

But when I ping from there, I can't ping anything but myself.

Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 21:31:04 GMT
Can someone give me some instruction to get my 3com 56k v90 isa PnP modem
(model 5687-02 no jumper) to work with RH6. Serial port Com2 is disable
in the bios. a 3com 3c905-TX NIC is not being use in RH6 but under
Windows. All other cards working fine for RH6/Win89/NT.
RH6 running on its own physical harddrive (pullout) along with Win98/NT.
Under windows the modem works fine COm2 for Win98 default irq and i/o but
NT use irq7.
here are the step I did so far.
Run pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf to create isapnp.conf file. The modem is
the only isa pnp in my system.
Remove all the comment (#s) in isapnp.conf so that the modem setting is on
ttyS1 ~ COM2.
Run isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
When I run setserial /dev/ttyS1 it report that the irq and i/o of the
modem no conflict with other devices in the system.
When I go run kppp it say the modem is busy.
During the boot process I can see that pnp module load successfully.
is there any other step that I left out?
thanks

No you don't understand the questions. And yes I know about you can look
in the log ftpwho , fusers etc if the ftp-server was on a machine I
control.
I need to know if where is any why to detect or indentify ftp trafic from
other trafic if you can't look on the port numbers.
BUt as far as I know it will be almost imposibile if you don't do track of
hole sessions and analyze the data in every packet. And even then you
perhaps don't get all ftp sessions and also get other type of trafic as
ftp. And you need a fast computer to do it.

Relaying is an option, you can block relaying by default and only allow
certain domains/ip's using /etc/mail/relay_allow. Check the sendmail docs
for more info.

there's a bug in the current pppd implementation that doesn't handle

Subject: Web Server Tuning (Kernel Upgrade) for RedHat 6/Kernel 2.2.5
Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 12:59:30 -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!

As far as I know, as long as Window can dial-in, Linux can too (using
PPP or KPPP). I am now using my Linux dial-in to reply this to you.
