It's possible that the peer needs PAP or CHAP or MSCHAP to authenticate
a PPP user and still has other prompts for special use. Often an ISP
will look for PPP-speak from the remote and present a prompt if it's
not found.
Characters received by chat with the -v option should show up in a log
file, /var/log/messages is common. If you dial in with minicom or similar
then there's no log.
: I'm assuming that MSCHAP specifies some other type of handshaking that

PAP, CHAP and MSCHAP are protocols used by the PPP software to
authenticate one or both sides of a connection. The information needed
to authenticate is keep in a secrets file in /etc/ppp. In the usual
case a line such as
<ISP username> * <ISP password>
is sufficient.
You'll likely need to add the pppd option user <ISP username> and
you will need to remove any chat scripting for login/password .
The pppd man pages and HOWTO have more to say. The "Linux Network
Administrator's Guide" (NAG) also has useful examples for configuring
secrets files.

Subject: Samba & Win95 Network Neighborhood
Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 22:33:38 GMT
Hi.
I have a PC with RH6.0 connected to a Win95A PC with Samba.
I am able to connect the directories shared in smb.conf in the Win95
box by using NET USE commands. (actually I have a Batch file set up
which I run to connect the shared directories). However I have a
couple of problems that I would like to fix.
1. I cannot get the Linux box to show up on Win95 Network
Neighborhood. I can use 'find' computer and 'net use' to connect OK
2. When I run the Batch file to connect several shared directories in
the one file, the first net use command returns an error of Server not
found. the 2nd and subsequent commands work OK. If I run the batch
file again the first command suceeds.
3. When copying files from the shared directories on the Linux box to
the Win 95 box using explorer in Win95 the files are extremely slow.
I am using NE2000 cards on both machines, when copying between 2
windows PCs (Win95 & Win98) the copying is much faster.
Has anyone got any idea where I might look to fix any of these
problems
Thanks

Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 21:31:08 GMT
This is what I would ultimately like to setup, it shouldnt be too hard, I
think I am just running into some permissions issues. I am using RH6 with
Apache 1.3.1
1. Setup UserDir so host.domain.com/~username works. I have created a
public_html directory and placed an index.html in the directory, but I
always get "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~username on
this server." as an error.
2. Setup a Virtual Domain such as host2.domain.com or
host.otherdomain.com. This is simple, I have this working, but I want to
give a user permission to ftp to upload only to the virtual domain
directory, but have no other permissions to run amok looking around the
server. The virtual domains need to be able to run cgi also.
Its always the simplest fixes that are the most mind boggling, any help or
direction would be appreciated.

If you have NT and linux on the same machine, I think you can use VMware to be
able to access Windoze from Linux. If you have NT and Linux on 2 separate
machines, and they are part of the same network, you can use samba. Samba is
usually a part of a Linux distribution, but you have to configure it. Look at
the Samba HOW-TO pages at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX.html
For Vmware, you can look up http://www.vmware.com

This probably will also not solve the problem. I configured netscape to get

Has anyone run mrouted (the multicast routing daemon) under RedHat
Linux 6.0? I pulled down
ftp://www.video.ja.net/mice/mrouted/Linux/mrouted-3.81-linux.tgz
but when I run it I get:
mrouted: can't find library 'libc.so.4'
I've tried adding a link to /usr/lib/libc.so.4 from /usr/lib/libc.so,
but still no
luck.
I've tried to recompile the source, but it doesn't compile out of the
box,
so I'm not sure what to do next
I can't belive that someone hasn't done this before. Any pointers?

Subject: Linux and Traffic Shaping question...
Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 16:56:21 -0500
Is anyone out there doing traffic shaping with Linux?
I did some poking around on the web for more info on
the subject (which is new to me) and didn't find much.
I am slightly confused by the NET HOW-TO... There's not
much to it under traffic shaping. Would something like
this work?:
Internet-->T1-->router-->Multi-Homed Linux Router
___________________| | |______
| | |
subnet1 subnet2 subnet3
Where each of the subnets is a subnet off a
class C or possibly a single card/ip doing NAT.
This is where I can confused...
In this setup can I just set up a shapecfg device
for the card on subnet1 and thereby restrict
the amount of the T1s bandwidth they can consume?
Or am I going about this in completely the wrong
way? Forgive me if any of the above seems
unintelligible or just plain wrong. It's kinda'
hard to ask coherent questions about a subject
you don't quite understand ;-)
TIA for any help with this or pointers in the
right direction.

Install netuse and click your ppp link off (which is probably on even if
you are not using the modem). There is probably a way to use ifconfig or
similar instead of netuse, but netuse is such a neat network interface
control tool you may as well use it. Then bring Netscape up. You will
have to click off a few alert msgs when you first bring up netscape, but
it should work fine after that and not hang. I use a combined ethernet
and modem PC card on a portable and Netscape would hang if I wasn't on a
network or dialed in to my ISP. Now everything works great.

I'd suspect that the ISP does PAP or CHAP authentication but not
login/password. You might try configuring for PAP and CHAP without the
login/password chat expect/send lines and with CONNECT '\d\c' replacing
CONNECT '' to avoid the carriage return (^M) that is otherwise sent.
A line such as
<ISP username> * <ISP password>
in both /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets should work.
You'll need to add the pppd option user <ISP username> and then,
with the changes in the chat script, it should be ready to try.
: This is my ppp-on script:
: exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug lock modem crtscts /dev/modem 115200 \
: =A0escape FF defaultroute domain wxs.nl hide-password idle 600=A0 kdebug =

: =A0noipdefault netmask $NETMASK defaultroute connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
The escape FF should be removed since it sometimes causes trouble and is
rarely needed. You shouldn't need the domain wxs.nl either. The netmask
option is ordinarily useless too.
