Well, of course it wouldn't be satisfactory, you'd need to login first
to get pppd started. What a silly answer.

Huh? Were did SLIP dial-in come from? You wanted to know about things
related to mgetty and connecting to your box via modem, nothing was said
about SLIP. Mgetty doesn't have anything to do with SLIP.

We're not on the same track apparently. It's another big Huh? Are you
are already connected to an ISP and trying to provide Internet service
through your box to a dialup? For PPP to a lone box through a dialup
connection, which is what I thought you were trying to do, you can use
reserve IP addresses and don't need nameservers.

I'm confused and don't think I can help much with whatever it is you
are trying to do. It seems you want to provide Internet service to
a dialup through your box and your ISP. That is likely to involve
IP masquerading which I haven't done.
I've set up a dial-in box on a company LAN connected to the Internet
but that didn't use IP masqurading since I had an IP on the LAN for the
dialin and used proxy arp. But it didn't use mgetty and AutoPPP, I just
dialed in and if I wanted to do PPP then I launched pppd from the LAN box.
I could answer the original questions but the URL provides much more
detail about mgetty dialup than I can.

Let me apologise for not reading the HOWTOs before asking.
My problem now is that I've read fragments of several HOWTOs and I'm
confused as to what exactly it is I'm trying to do - which HOWTO should
I read.
Let me explain the setting: I have a Linux box with two network
interfaces. One of those will connect to an ADSL modem and use DHCP to
get an IP-address from my ISP. The other interface will connect to a
LAN with IP-addresses in the 192.168.x.x range.
I want to set things up so that all computers on the LAN can access the
Internet. What is the correct name for this?
http://www.bynari.com/lcsrc.org/fwconsulting.html
This was well written. I use SuSE Linux 6.1. They supplied a firewall
and masquerading HOWTO, and scripts to set it up, that seemed good as
well. But I’m having troubles compiling a kernel, and I’m not sure how
me having two interfaces change things.

Strange! The LDP has an older version.

Chime in. ASIP is the easiest to administrate server platform I ever came
across, and for a small network like yours it will do the job very well.
Learning linux from scratch isn't rocket science, but it will take you a

in answer to your question, just use the ln command without the '-s' i.e.
ln src dest
the only problem is that you can't use a hard link across filesystems.

Subject: ISP's for a leased line in London
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 19:31:12 GMT
Could some one give me a list of good tier 1 ISP in London?
I already have what sounds like a good deal from a company called Globix.
They will give me 256k for nine thousand pound a year (2 megs for about 19
grand). I know that sounds like alot: it is. Thats the best deal around
that I can find.
Unfortunately, they cannot use Cable and wireless as their telco and so we
cannot use our current fibre line (used for ISDN phone lines atm). So we
will have to pay a 3.6 grand BT setup charge, as opposed to the more
minimal conversion charge from a C&W friendly provider.
Any company names of large tier one providers in London would be very
welcome indeed, especially if you know they're of high quality and or C&W.
I'll email you a beer or something ;)
cheers Colin
ps - plz dont tell me to get an ASDL connection ;)

Subject: samba-2.0.5b vs rh6.0/any 2.2 kernel
Sorry, long post, has strace output included.
See subject line. Installed RH6.0 on 5.2 system with working samba.
Samba died, smbmount can't. Now, if I can figure out how to get it
over here, floppynet I suppose, is the strace output of trying to run
smbmount against a New Toy 4.0, with nothing changed on the NT box
from the working install that existed when 5.2, kernel 2.0.36-7 was
running on the linuxbox. The version of samba has progressed from 1.*
to 2.0.4 to 2.0.5-5.2 to 2.0.5b, using the rpms available in the i386
RH6.0 directory on any mirror.
Ethernet, ppp, and socks5 are working just fine.

I have now recompiled and re-installed the kernel and modules many times
without apparently having any effect on the 3 errors I can see in the

Anyone who can tell me whats wrong, and teach me a bit about Samba in
the process will have my profuse thanks.

Actually, there's a thing called "licq" - but I haven't tried it
lately. You have to set up an account with a "real" (i.e. Windoze ICQ
package) in order to use it.
I don't know if it still works or not since Microsoft hacked AOL. Does
anyone know the details of that? Didn't AOL buy ICQ? Is ICQ=Instant
Messenger? When AOL shut M$ out of IM, did they also shut out licq?
Maybe I should just try it an see. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking
about.
