I too have send too much time trying to get my 4 x NCD15r's running

Yes the problem is the prefdm rather than xdm.
I substitued as others have pointed out in /etc/inittab /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm.
I had additional problems with the RH6.0 xfs (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs) starting
and shutting down correctly. I modified the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs as follows:
# See how we were called.
#!/bin/sh
# xfs: Starts the X Font Server
# Version: @(#) /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs 1.4
# chkconfig: 2345 90 10
# description: Starts and stops the X Font Server at boot time and shutdown.
# processname: xfs
# config: /etc/X11/fs/config
# hide: true
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting X Font Server: "
rm -fr /tmp/.font-unix
xfs -config /etc/X11/fs/config -port 7100
touch /var/lock/subsys/xfs
echo
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down X Font Server: "
killproc xfs
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/xfs
echo
;;
status)
status xfs
;;
restart)
echo -n "Restarting X Font Server. "
if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/xfs ]; then
killproc xfs -USR1
else
rm -fr /tmp/.font-unix
xfs -config /etc/X11/fs/config -port 7100
touch /var/lock/subsys/xfs
fi
echo
;;
*)
echo "*** Usage: xfs {start|stop|status|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Now at least the X font sever works correctly as tested by either
xlsfonts or telnet yourmachine:7100
Still not 100% happy with my NCD Xterm setup, but its gettig there.

Subject: Can't Ping External IP address
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 22:32:52 -0400
I'm trying to setup my Linux box as my gateway. I have an @HOME cable
modem with static IP address
I've managed to setup the two NICs,
eth0 gets the internal IP address(192.168.0.1)
eth1 gets the external IP address(24.40.xxx.xxx).
I can ping both NICs. I can also ping all computers on my
home(internal) lan. The problem is I can not ping any external IP
address. When attempting to ping external IP address, I notice
activity on the modem ; however no packets return....
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
if replying by e-mail remove the ### from my address

Could you perhaps provide me with a simple example of how you read and write

You are twisting things. They said that *newsreaders* have had the

You're comparing *email* gprograms. For instance, I'm currently using

So no - Netscape didn't just up and decide to do this for its newsreader.
It has been a longstanding convention.

Two things. Firstly, instead of messing about with signals, you can do a
non-blocking connect and then wait for it to complete using a timed-out
select().
Secondly, connect() is a restartable system call in Linux.
This means that when it's interrupted, the signal is handled. Then
the system call is automatically re-run instead of returning -1/EINTR.
Find out how to influences this with sigaction().

What you want could be achieved with MOSIX.
MOSIX is a set of kernel patches which allow processes to transparently move
across the network to machines with lower load.
MOSIX uses system-call redirection, so you can simply run the apps on each
users' machine, and they will migrate themselves to other machines as
needed; to the apps it appears as though they are running on the users'
computer.
Seriously, though, why don't you just get a heap of Xterminals / cheap boxes
with X on, and run everything on the servers?

I had the same problem. This suggestion didn't quite solve it, but it set
me in the right direction. A little hacking and some correct guesses got
it working. I kind of regret I didn't have to delve into the kernel
source :)
You also need to turn on ip forwarding (by doing
"echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"). And I chose to turn on proxy
arp for all interfaces (by doing
"echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/proxy_arp"). Does anyone know if
this is bad? I did it because the config directory for ppp0
(/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/ppp0) doesn't exist until something connects
to it and the interface is brought up. But by using the "all interfaces"
config directory, I can just turn on proxy ARP at boot, and all ppp
interfaces seem to inherit the settings.
Turning on ip forwarding has some security issues, or at least some
network management issues. I for one don't want my machines forwarding
just any packet they receive (cause I play evil games with ppp over ssh
tunnels without "management approval"--if I misconfigure a route, I might
start leaking packets onto networks that I shouldn't be leaking onto).
Judicious use of IP masquerading and/or firewalling rules should take care
of this, though.

You should check out the compatible hardware list at Red Hat's Web site
first (http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/hardware/index.html). If those
cards are listed (I think they'll both be Tier II), then you have a
reasonable chance that they'll work. You might have to compile and install
new drivers though. I have found that to be a frustrating experience with
my SOHOware NIC but you might have better luck (couldn't be worse). The
most recent drivers are at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers
I think it's simpler to use Control Panel, linuxconf, or Networking under
Gnome to configure the NIC and LAN.

You can host as many domains off your own as you want - that is what isp
do :-)
The issue re DNS is that you have to either thru your immediate ISP or by
filling in complcated forms, apply to have at least two DNS servers up the
chain
from you, point their DNS service back down the DNS chain to you. Your
existing ISP would be doing this type of thing all the time & you would be
well
off to pay them to do it for you.
When it comes time to set up your own machine as a DNS server for your sub
servers - unless you really know what you are doing you could create a
mess.
DNS hosting is really for the professional
You can however set up several machines on your local network and can have
these pointed to via your ISP - you can host them all on the one machine
if you want
(I have 3 dmain names on one Linux box & one copy of Apache - each is a
virtual Name in my Apache config & to the outside world they are 3 diff
sites.

Subject: cable modem gateway server
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 23:43:02 -0500
We have a Linux box connected to a cable modem through network card eth0,
and connected to our internal network eth1. We are trying to get the
computers on the internal network to access the internet through the Linux
box. All computers on the network including the Linux Box can see each
other, but the Linux box is the only one that can see the out side world.
We have tried so many configuration that we are totally confused on the what
the correct setup is. Here is the info we have.
Here is our IP address: 216.207.125.14
The gateway given to us by the ISP is: 216.207.127.1
The internal IP we are using for the Linux Box is: 192.168.0.1
What should the ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 files look like?
Any other hint that you could give would be appreciated as well.
Here is our biggest question?
eth0
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=216.207.125.14
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=??????
BROADCAST=?????
GATEWAY=?????
ONBOOT=yes
eth1
DEVICE=eth1
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=???????
BROADCAST=??????
GATEWAY=???????
ONBOOT=yes
Please help fill in the question marks and add any numbers if needed.

1) Best advice I can offer is to say read thru /etc/smb.conf & also run man
smb
2) smb can be tricky - the easiest smb set-up is using RH6 Knome conf facility
I used this after getting in tangle doing 1) above - as soon as I had set-up
the smb
shared disks using Gnome - I stopped & started smb & then could see the
shared drives from my network (WinNT & Win95 machines)
Good luck

WHY does the second entry has a G flag??
192.168.0.1 is my IP and 192.168.0.0 is my network, so I dont need a
gateway.
I just installed RH6.0
Also is 0.0.0.0 the default network? Why dont they just say default???
Thanks
