Have a read of www.apache.org for information on setting up apache or
http://localhost/manual on your own linux box from within lynx or netscape
will have the same manual
Yes you can set apache up to run cgi & ssi as well as a php3 and a whole

I tend to leave it at
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
(for real values of 'my.domain', of course!). Putting other things, especially
`hostname` in there, is evil, wrong and generally horrible.

Subject: Help on Packet Sniffer
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 00:53:22 -0600
Hello -
I have just upgraded my network from 10Base-T using a hub to 100Base-TX
using a 10/100 switch.
On the 10Mbps network, I was running a DOS based packet sniffer/protocol
analyzer and it worked great. Actually the DOS machine was connected via
10Base-2 to a coax port on the hub.
My plan for the upgraded 100Mbps network was to run a similar tool under
Linux. The problem appears to be that the switch is doing its job. It sends
packets (non-broadcast packets) directly to the appropriate destination
port, which means that none of the other systems on the network, including
my Linux box running the packet sniffer, get to see the packets. The Linux
packet sniffer works fine for broadcast packets and all network traffic
targetted at the Linux box.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is my assumption correct that the switch is only sending packets to the
correct destination port? That's what the LEDs on the switch indicate.
2. If (1) above is true, is there anyway I can get all the packets that go
through the switch to always go to at least 1 additional port?
Note, this is not a managed switch. It is a 3Com Office Connect Switch 800.
One additional question: When I was running at 10Mbps, I was able to use
some network software that I wrote to load the network at almost 100%. When
I test my 100Mbps network, I can only get about 42Mbps throughput (at the
most). Is this normal or is it dependent on the CPU speeds of the hosts and
NIC performance capabilities? I assume that the switch is able to
accomodate a higher throughput than 42Mbps. Note that all NICs are running
at 100Mbps, full duplex mode.
Thanks.

Subject: new wireless network questions
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 07:02:02 GMT
Hi everyone...I am a networking newbie...well at least I have never set
up a network before. I will soon be networking my three computers (2
desktops, 1 laptop) at home mainly for internet sharing. I am looking
at setting the network up as a wireless network, mainly for the
flexibility in positioning the hardware anywhere, i.e. use the laptop
anywhere without a cord attached. Before I set up the network I wanted
to get some info, answers, and comments.
1.) I am planning on using WebGear's Aviator2.4 hardware. I assume I
only need a network adapter for each computer. Is that correct?
2.) I am planning on using a 56K modem in my old 486/66 with 24 MB ram
running linux exclusively for the internet connection. I will use ip-
masq. Will this computer handle the load?
3.) Eventually I want to get a direct internet connection which will
most likely be ethernet based. Can I set up a bridge between the
wireless network and the ethernet on the 486 or will I need to get an
'access point' bridge?
4.) Will the 486 handle the load of the direct internet connection and
bridge?
5.) Any comments on the Aviator2.4 hardware?
6.) Anyone have a wireless network, similar to 2 above, setup running
both linux and win95/98 machines that could share their experiences?
7.) Anyone have a wireless network, similar to 3 above, that could
share their experiences with me?
8.) Anyone use the Aviator2.4 hardware with linux? Any comments or
suggestions? Any suggestions on other wireless hardware of comparable
price (under $300US for three computers) that might be better?
Thanks to anyone that provides any helpful information!

It is most likely a problem with the cable or perhaps with the
card. Try changing the cable.
But it is possible there is a problem with the hub that the
cable connects to. Can you plug in another machine to the
same jack and see if that works okay?

Not exactly what you were asking about but maybe this will help
My smb.conf file
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %U
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*succesfully*
If you now use smbpasswd to change passwords both the samba password
and the Linux password should change. If you use passwd then only the
Linux password will change.
The "passwod chat" parameter has to be adjusted to the prompts from
the /usr/bin/passwd program.
I got this working on my home computer with SUSE 6.1 but not at work
with RedHat 6.0. I think i have a problem with the password chat
parameter. (because of these problems i don't synchronise the
passwords at work).
You may also change the samba password from the WinNT password change
with setting the domain in the password change to your samba server.

Many switches have the capability to copy the traffic of a port to
another (port copy/port span/port monitor... there are many names for
essentially the same feature), at least the somewhat upmarket ones do.
Not *all* traffic in the entire switch; that would be moderately
difficult, given that the total traffic through a switch can be 2N x
port speed (where N is the data rate of a single port).
> Note, this is not a managed switch. It is a 3Com Office Connect Switch 800.
In that case you're probably out of luck, but I'd check the docs
carefully to be sure.

Yes to both. It's dependent on the machnes on both ends. Although a
limit like that might also be caused by forgetting to open up the TCP
window to beyond the default (8KB for Solaris and NT, for instance) If
your round trip time is something like 1.5 ms, this would be the result.
But that's only for TCP; UDP won't suffer from it.

I would think so, but you never know :-( I have no experience with the
box, so I can't really say.

Reply-To: Tkil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Greetings.
I have a DECpc 433 Workstation which is currently running RedHat Linux
5.2 (kernel 2.0.35). It is happily on the net, and the depca driver
reports:
eth0: DE100 at 0x0200, h/w address 00:aa:00:05:89:cd,
has 64kB RAM at 0xd0000 and assigned IRQ5.
But when I try to use the RedHat 6.0 bootnet.img, the DEPCA driver
cannot find the device. (I tried both autoprobe and specifying
"io=0x200 irq=5" and other permutations.)
Any hints? I know I got it working once before, but I couldn't find
the notes I took when I finally succeeded. :(
Thanks, T.

Mike Thanks for the help - you have been a great help and I think I am very
near cracking this. Browsing dejanews has shown alot of people with similar
problems.
You mentioned -WINCH for named, this has been of great service - I think I
have traced the source of the problem and as you mentioned this is probably
crap setup on my behalf.
Can you confirm what the relationship between MS domains and workgroups and
my Linux machine. The following are set up :
My linux box is HOSTNAME - linux.fellowquest.co.uk ( fellowquest is my
registered domain )
On Windows I have set the workgroup to be fellowquest ( it was howards -
hence requests to howards.co.uk bringing the line up I think ).
DNS is set with machine linux and domain fellowquest.co.uk.
This seems to work and does no longer bring the line up - 8^)
However - I am now seeing entries from named in the message log to the
effect of :
XX/192.168.1.5/FELLOWQUEST.fellowquest.co.uk/A
XX/192.168.1.5/FELLOWQUEST.co.uk/A
Right IP but the names screwey ??
Change MS workgroup to HOWARDS and we get the same but it brings the line
up.
Is this crap in the DNS config or yet more crud being thrown up by Windows
Hope you can help - I am sure I owe you a few beers by now - Ever in the

Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 07:30:49 GMT
1) it's not that the server (ie, sshd) is reacting merely to the fact
that your IP address is dynamic. I routinely connect to a couple
servers from a client that gets a dynamic address.
2) to the extent that the server bases a determination whether to
grant the connection upon who the client is, the client's identity is
defined by his "host key." This is not the same as his IP address,
although his IP address is embedded in the host key, whose format can
be viewed in a known_hosts file and is documented in the sshd man
page. On that page see the paragraph headed "/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
and $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts." If the server is configured to be strict
about who's calling, maybe the variability of the IP address is
perturbation enough relative to the "admissible" records in those
files to bar you.
3) don't know whether to take "Connection refused" at face value. You
get the same message if you try to connect but forget to first
establish the client's internet connection. Obviously a false message
in that case-- the server could not even have been contacted so most
certainly could not have refused. But you do get that message anyway.
scrutinize the config options described in man sshd (and read related
stuff in man ssh) that relate to host key evaluations. it's a little
complicated but your situation is a candidate for solution lying in
there somewhere. good luck.

I have to configure a (Red Hat 5.2) Linux host to allow Windows 9x clients
to dial in and use PPP networking via modem.
I have managed to get mgetty working on the Linux side. (It answers the
phone and tries to negotiate.) On the Windows 9x side I have configured Dial
Up Networking to try and initialise the call.
I understand that I must use pppd with configuration files in:
/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.cnfig
(AutoPPP entry)
/etc/ppp/{hostname}
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
and appropriate names defined in
/etc/hosts
The Windows 9x client dials and connects to the Linux host, but after a
while the Linux host drops the connection and Windows 9x reports a
user/password error.
The documentation I have collected seems to contradict all the time and
whilst giving details about certain topics seem to miss out great chunks and
assume the reader has expert knowledge.
When I get this working I will produce a proper how-to and shove it out on
the net.
Thank you kindly in advance.
John Bend.

Subject: inconsistent ethernet MAC addresses
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 09:07:36 +0000
To make our cable modem work properly, the cable company needs the mac
addresses of our ethernet cards.
Now I know a few ways of getting this mac address of a NIC:
- it is printed on the card itself (which i've already ruled out as a
reliable source)
- the dos diagnostics program delivered with the card
- in windows: winipcfg
- linux ifconfig
- with linux on my computer i can see the mac-addresses of the other
devices in the network in /proc/net/arp
But which source of information should I believe, if they are
inconsistent??? I've seen inconsistencies for 3 out of 7 ethernet cards
that are in use in our students home. Though all the cards work properly
in our network.
I've got:
card 1&2: difference between "printed on the card" and all the other
sources
card 3: difference "linux arp" and all the other sources
I would think that the "linux arp" is reliable, but why then gives the
dos program another MAC?
