It's likely that the problem that you are seeing with Netscape is not
related to your shared use of one Hub but is a problem with your setup.
I haven't looked closely at Cable Modems; if they work like a bridge (as
many ADSL "Modems" do) then anyone sharing the same segment as you at
your ISP can use a packet sniffer and monitor all of the traffic on your
private network. True confusion would occur if some other user was doing
the same thing and had private addresses that duplicated yours. And you
sure don't want to run a DHCP server on your local network. Also, your
masquerading system wont be able to act as much of a firewall since your
masqueraded systems will be open to direct attack.
On the other hand, if the Cable Modem works like a router then it will
probably discard packets with a destination IP in one of the subnets
reserved for private networks.

Hello,
The only experience I have with Linux is reading the www.linux.com web page.
I am building a home network: 2 win9x PCs, and a server. Instead of
upgrading my 486 machine to support Win NT4.x, and using Proxy server 2.0,
so both PC's can access the internet via the LAN, I thought I might like to
give Linux a try...
What products will I need
Linux Version
Samba ?
Linux Proxy Server?
Thanks for the advice.

Indeed. Web server, database server, file server, print server,

You would appear to be suffering from tcpd's precompiled idea of where
all the 'real' network daemons reside, You should edit /etc/inetd.conf
and fully qualify where in.telnetd resides
eg
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/local/bin/my.in.telnetd
by placeing only the name of the daemon at the end of the config line, tcpd
will
assume the precompiled real daemon dir which for RH is normally /usr/sbin
you're dying connection sounds a bit more suspicious though,. I'd like to have
seen a it more detail around it to make a guess as the fault

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.

You are not too healthy either. Why are you insisting on asyncmap 0? Do
you have
asyncmap 0
in your options? Get rid of it and try what is suggested above.
The rest of your log is a continual saga of the two of your arguing
about asyncmap and never comming to a resolution, and finally somebody

Subject: DNS problem with ipchains.
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 1999 00:40:18 +0200
Hi !
I've installed masquerading and firewalling on a Linux box (redhat
6.0 kernel 2.2.12). The masquerading is ok for the windows box,
everything is working fine.
I've set up the following rules in rc.firewall:
- by default i deny everything for input, output and forward.
- i only authorize specific services such as smtp, pop3, http, ftp,
ftp-data, https, ping and dns.
- on my linux box, the name resolution doesn't work, but using
directly the IP works for all services.
Here are the rules for DNS in rc.firewall:
ipchains -A input -i $extint -s 0.0.0.0/0 53 -d $extip 1025:65535
-p tcp -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i $extint -s $extip 1025:65535 -d 0.0.0.0/0 53
-p tcp -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -i $extint -s 0.0.0.0/0 53 -d $extip 1025:65535
-p udp -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -i $extint -s $extip 1025:65535 -d 0.0.0.0/0 53
-p udp -j ACCEPT
Where $extint is the ethernet interface connected to the internet (eth0)
and $extip the IP given by the dhcp of my ISP.
When on my Linux box i do, ping www.nestcape.com => unknown host
www.netscape.com.
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks.

Johann Volz wrote:
> How can you choose which program you want to run on a port?
Of course
Inetd is often refered to as the super server
it uses the configuration of /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf to open
up a range of listening ports
on your box. When a connection is made to these ports, it spawns of a
copy of the relevant
program specified in /etc/inetd.conf and passes control over to that
process
so you could have
/etc/services:
myprog 1433/tcp # some arbitary port of your choice
that should be free
/etc/inetd.conf:
myprog stream tcp nowait nobody
/usr/local/bin/myprog myprog -options
(there are variations but the above will do as an example)
kill -HUP the inetd process to make it re-read the inetd.conf file
and it will open a listening tcp connection on port 1433
By simply telnetting to localhost 1433, you would then be presented with
the output of
'myprog'
It can be shell, perl or a compiled C program it's not fussy

I once had occasion to look at a part of the xisp source code and it
uses both chat and pppd to make the connection and do PPP. Unless you
can find a way to get more messages from chat, and perhaps pppd too,
with the inputs that xisp allows then I'd say go back to chat and pppd.
(I've never used xisp despite needing to look at some of the code so I
can't say how to get more verbose messages with it.) A TA is made
to be used just like a modem and chat and pppd are all that you need.
You need more log detail than you posted to tell what's going on, unless
you get lucky and someone that had exactly the same problem replies.

Greetings,
The EtherExpress16 requires the internal software to be set to function
properly. This is normally done on a dos machine. The utility is
called SoftSet.

Once you have set the nvram in the card, netprobe eexpress, this should
get you well on your way! I have used several of these cards without
problems.
