Subject: Upgrade problems with NFS
Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 12:13:59 GMT
Hello,
I upgraded to SuSE 6.2 and now find my NFS server not responding as
before. I cannot mount exported directories.
The /etc/exports is untouched. The client is still the same, no change
compared to pre upgrade state.
It seems the nfsd is behaving different from the earlier version.
I do not find any message in /var/log/messages or /var/log/warn.
After a mount trial, I get the simple answer "Time Out".
Thanks
Karl

I thought that should work too. I had tried:
# the below 2 lines had no effect
ipchains -A forward -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 ftp -d 10.0.0.1 -j REJECT
ipchains -A forward -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 ftp-data -d 10.0.0.1 -j REJECT
# neither did these two lines did nothing
ipchains -A forward -p tcp -s 10.0.0.1 ftp -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j REJECT
ipchains -A forward -p tcp -s 10.0.0.1 ftp-data -d 0.0.0.0 -j REJECT
ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.1 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQ
ipchains -A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j REJECT
I also tried just putting in port 20 and 21 in above. No dice.

The ftp program DOES convert ASCII files between Unix/OS correcltly. Simply
set the "asc" (ASCII) option before doing the "put/get". Ftp usually
defaults to setting its transfer mode to "bin" (binary). If your "putting" a
file from DOS to UNIX it will remove the <CR> or ^M during the transmission,
if "asc" is in effect. The opposite is true if "getting a file from UNIX to
DOS.
Most GUI based ftp programs allow you to set this option before "drag/drop"
of files. I use "CuteFTP" all the time to move ASCII files between OS's.
Just make sure this option is not set when you are transferring a "binary"
file. Your binary program will not work when it gets to the other end.
Samba was never designed to determine the file type before transferring
files. It's role is to copy/transfer a file "as is", or in ftp terms...
binary mode.

In my experience, the missing symbols normally come from another module which is
liable to be in ipv4 or net. Load that one first and things should be fine.
Being incredibly lazy, I tend to write mini-scripts to load the modules in the
correct order and then do whatever needs to be done, for example: script
'zipmount' looks something like:
insmod scsi
insmod ppa
mount /dev/sda4 /zip
ok?

Without seeing the log files for nmb, there is not much any of us can offer
as to why nmbd is not starting. Samba logs are in /var/log/samba,
specifically log.nmb and log.smb if your using RedHat's rpm. These files
should give you some insight on why nmbd is not starting.

In other words, adding this file w/ out modifying sendmail.cf and sticking to an
older 8.8.x version is enough to block spamers from using a mailer as relay?

Hi all,
I have a Linux server running RH6.0 with pop3 server installed. When i

Subject: Re: What's IPv6 status?
Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 12:18:50 GMT
Regrettably, I do not have the latest version of the kernel (I am
downloading it even now). I was trying to work from a commonly known
and accepted kernel version (2.0.36). It did not have much to say
regarding IPv6 in the release notes. I looked in the release notes of
the 2.2.xx version but found no mention. So, I searched the web for
patches. I found several alpha (kernel patches) and pre-alpha sources
(libraries?), but I could find nothing that was blessed by Torvalds. I
will look at the 2.2.12 version and continue searching the web. It is
my assumption that Linux will comply with the Posix 1g IPv6
requirements. I will not try the "bleeding edge" kernels: I do not have
a sandbox computer.
If anyone has more information, I would appreciate a note.

Hello,
I upgraded to Samba 2.0.5 and now have a problem:
I do not find the linux computer in a windows network environment box.
On the other hand, mounted network drives are still there.
Needless to say, that I left the /etc/smb.conf unchanged.

Hi, Steve, thank you for your advice.
I bellieve it has something to do with those resolver libs(are they in
/lib?)
because ftp behave in the same way, and the files in /lib are of
different
version for the two system, but it has nothing to do with
/etc/resolv.conf
because they are the same for the two system.
As for /etc/nsswitch.conf, neither system has it, perhaps it's only
for
recent versions of RedHat to have it? (mine are slackware) I believe
untill
RH 4.2, there's no /etc/nsswitch.conf, because I have a RH 4.2 disc
attached
to a linux book which say nothing about /etc/nsswitch.conf.
But I'm still interested in this /etc/nsswitch.conf, becaause I also
have
a solaris7-x86 which has this /etc/nsswitch.conf and I don't know how to
config it, and now it's telet behave just like the telnet of that older
slackware system. Can you show me your /etc/nsswitch.conf?
