You may find it a great deal easier to use FreeS/WAN rather than "rolling
your own" VPN.
Take a look at http://freshmeat.net for the URL.

I'm having some wierd problems with anonymous ftp. I can anonymous ftp from
unix boxes and the command line in windows. If I try any gui ftp client on
mac or pc it logs in but doesn't show anything. I think it may have
something to do with the permissions. Here's the ls -al of the ftp
directory.
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Aug 4 14:26 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 1024 Sep 6 21:32 ..

But I could be wrong so if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

You need to tell the machines on the Linux LAN where to send the return
packets. The easiest way is to proxy arp the Linux box for each of the
LAN PCs. Otherwise you'll need to run a routing daemon.

My own opinion is this...
It is less confusing to reply after the original question.
1) Because the human mind processes the data that way, from top to bottom
in chronological order
2) It's really aggrivating to have to scroll back up to the top to
find that one line response that you skipped over because it looked
like a message header

Another one that thinks that computers started with Microsoft and Intel.
Let me try and understand what you are saying:
1) for about 20-25 years various companies were developing software for
editors, BBS mail, Internet, and various other private E-Mail systems.
2) Microsoft (started by Bill Gates and having been active in developing
software since the mid seventies) saw an opportunity to develop E-Mail
software. They looked at what was going on and decided that all the other
companies start at the top with the quoted portion following (at that stage
they had only about 1000+ E-Mail type system to compare with)
3) A company then got started calling themselves Nescape decided they also see
a market in this developing market. They then concluded that "we are the
market leaders. Nobody knows about us yet but, we are the leaders. All the
other people are wrong. They must follow us. We put it at the bottom"
Am I correct in interpreting what you are saying?

Subject: Linux + 3c619b Token Ring?
I am trying to run a Token Ring network using Linux kernel 2.2.6
(slackware
4.0) and a 3c619b card. The card passes all diagnostic tests fine. IBM
mode, IRQ 2/9, D0000, a20h, running ibmtr module. When I modprobe imbtr,
it
recognizes the card and seems to hang after the message: (aggh! I can't
remember the exact message) something about "the card initialized and
connected." I hit enter and am taken back to the command line prompt.
Ifconfig works fine and so does route.
I can ping localhost and the network card address 192.168.2.1 but if I
ping
outside of the card I get the error messages:
arrgh! Transmitter busy
Unknown command 08h in arb
I've tried 4 cards and all the same problem. These cards work fine under
Win95. I am connected to an IBM 8228 MSAU that is running 3 Win95
clients
with the same TR cards. Win95 clients cannot ping the Linux box but can
ping each other.
Suggestions?

My line in conf.modules looks like this:
options eepro io=0x300 irq=11
So, you probably just have to specify io port and interrupt number when
using modprobe. I think it defaults to 260 and 10.

I need to take e-mail sent to a particular address and redirect it to a list
of other accounts. The catch is that a message is only sent to one of the
addresses at a time. So, one message is sent to the first name, the next
message to arrive goes to the next person....and so on.
Does anyone have comments on the best way to do this?

Subject: Samba on NT domain, Unable to join domain
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 04:31:19 GMT
I have Samba set up on a RH 6.0 box, 3c509, in an NT domain.
I have the security=domain, encrypted password, and worgroup=MYDOMAIN
installed along with the password server = MY_PDC, yet I can't seem to be
able to join the domain.
I initialized the machine name on the PDC like it says in the DOCS, but
when I type:
"smbpasswd -j MYDOMAIN -r MY_PDC" I get the following error:
modify_trust_password: machine MY_PDC rejected the session setup. Error
was : code 131.
1999/09/08 22:35:14 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password for domain MYDOMAIN.
Unable to join domain MYDOMAIN.
If this helps, I can browse the shares on a Win95 box using any password,
session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
When I try to browse the shares on a WinNT machine
(server=BDC/other or workstation) It asks me for a password, and my
password doesn't work (even though it's right) and prints:
When I try to browse the shares on the Primary WinNT server (PDC), I get
the following error before the password prompt:

Subject: nfs and the "permission denied"
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 23:16:21 -0500
I am using Redhat 6.0 and a custom compiled kernel. The hosts.allow and
hosts.deny are both empty.
the exports file has the correct specifications (copied over from a
working implementatioin.)
I'm currently experiencing the every popular "nfssvc: Permission Denied"
My question is this: Is it necessary to compile nfsd in the kernel? If
so, what options do you need to get to it? Currently the option is
grayed out on xconfig (or nonexistent on menuconfig)
I know for nfs-root you need RARP. What do you need to get the nfsd?

I managed to compile and insert both v. 0.90 and 0.91 tulip.c drivers.
Still can't get the NIC to work (unless I've completely botched the network
configuration but as far as I can tell, it's the exact same setup that I run
successfully with Windows 98).
I have had suggestions to just give up and buy a Tier 1 supported NIC. I
might just do that and save myself the aggravation.

Here's my recommendation: Stay away from Linux.
Not what you expected to hear here, eh?
Your company is small. Attempting to administrate three different -- very
different -- platforms is a strategy that you will certainly one day
regret.
I'm making no judgment on any OS or hardware platform, but think about it...

As you suggested in one of your previous posts, I've replaced pppd option
