Here's my problem, I want people to be able to dial into my machine, and
access it remotely via modem, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a
readily available daemon which is well documented that allows me to do so.

If anybody could help me find a daemon, preferably in tarball format, but
not essential.

Many thanks

No, I think what you need to do is to remove the pppd defaultroute
option and use /etc/ppp/ip-up to create a network route for the private
network through the PPP interface.  For example if the private network
is 192.168.0.0/24 and the PPP interface is ppp0 then

/sbin/route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 ppp0

in /etc/ppp/ip-up configures a specific network route for the private
network through the ppp0 interface.  When the PPP interface is taken
down at the end of the connection then poof, the route disappears. You
get to keep the default route to the Internet at all times.

Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 02:31:15 GMT

I am posting from a redhat 6.0 box behind a MS Proxy Server 2.0 NT machine,
As posted in previous replies The Proxy stuff goes simply by installing the
proxy server on the NT box (if this could be considered simple) and
configure both Win and Linux Workstation to use the proxy server. There was
I time where I used WinGate 2.0 as well.
 
This worked fine for HTTP but I have not been able to set it up right for
other protocols (FTP and the like).

For the WinNT browsing stuff I have configured samba to share the NT style
but I still have some trouble to make it work without problems (That is the 
reason I was browsing this site).

To de guy that posted here, could you be so gentle to be a little bit more
specific about the configuration of the Linux Box behind the proxy?

Thanks, 
Fedro.

Subject: Ipforwarding issues AND wuFTPD question
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 22:40:52 -0400

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if you guys can help me out with this problem.
1.    I have two computers (Comp1 and Comp2, both RedHat 6.0) and a cisco
router.
Comp2 is a dual home machine with ipforwarding enabled (eth0 192.168.1.3 and
eth1 192.168.2.1). I can ping from Comp1 (192.168.1.1) both interfaces on
Comp2 but  not the router (192.168.2.2). From the cisco router I also can
ping both interfaces of Comp2 but not Comp1. I added the route in Cisco
router directing to reach the network 192.168.1.0 via 192.168.2.1 (eth1 of
Comp2) but no avail so far. I don't what is the issue here. Is it cisco
router not knowing how to get back to Comp1 or Comp2 not forwarding packets?
I also added a route to 192.168.2.0 network on Comp1 but so far it failed.
On tcpdump from Comp1 to cisco router it shows that Comp1 is trying to reach
cisco router but failing to reach which I think indicates that it is a Comp2
issue.

2.    Is there any way I can lock up ftp'ed users to their home directory so
they can't browse or list other directories under wuFTPD (RedHat 5.2 bundle)
?

 Guys, any help WILL BE APPRECIATED! I'll be even more appreciative if you
could reply directly to me.

Thanks a lot to all.

Alex

Subject: Terminals
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 22:11:56 -0400

Hello,

I have a question about connecting dumb terminals to a computer running
Linux.  Say I have a Pentium, and a 386.  I've been told that I can set
up the 386 so it uses the Pentium's hardware when it executes programs. 
Is this possible, and how far does it go?  For example, if I have a
Voodoo card on my Pentium, can I get accelerated output on the 386?  I
ask because I read somewhere that with a GLX renderer you could
theoretically output accelerated video to a Sun.  So can this be done
over a network?  It seems to me that it would require quite a bit of
bandwidth, as the PCI bus does something like 128 megs a second, I
think.  So would I need 100 Megabit networking or something to do this?

Regards,

Mladen

What about domain name services? Right now I have two /etc/resolv.conf
files one for the internet and the other for the private network (
/etc/resolv.conf.default && /etc/resolv.conf.private ).  I manually copy the
appropriate file to /etc/resolv.conf before connection establishment. How can

I configure my DNS list to include all domain name servers in both networks
if I am to use both networks simultaneously?

You can use a reverse proxy, I think TIS http-gw and squid can support the
remapping of incoming requests to different servers (based on host and local
part of the URL). You can of course use multiple port numbers and give them
in the URL (http://gate.mydoma.in:81/). And you can map multiple ip
addrsses, if you can get more than one from your provider. I dont suggest
you use redir since it is rather slow.

I would like to be able to create a dial in server to my network via the
modem on my linux machine. I would like windows machines to dial in and
allow them to access the ip numbers on my network(192.168.0.x)  and to
assign them an ip address like that.

I have it up and working with the network and  can dial in my isp (setup
with pppsetup)

I use slackware 3.6 (kernal 2.0.35)

Does anyone know how to do this  or  could give where to find detailed
information on how to do this ?

thanks,

Subject: Bogus ppp device after kernel upgrade?
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 23:43:33 -0400

        Hi,

        I did move to kernel 2.2.11 from 2.0.30 and the ppp connection I
have on this PC to another one of my computers stooped working in quite an
unusual state.

        When I dial from one comp. to another the serial link is
established OK, the ppp device appears in /proc/net/dev, but ifconfig does
not show it and it can not be accessed or included in the routing table.
pppd leaves a message 'ioctl(SIOCADDRT) device route: Network is down' in
the syslog and that's all. The result is the same on both machines I want
to connect. One is still with kernel 2.0.30, other is with 2.2.11, the
pppd is version 2.2.0, I do use slackware on both of them.

        So, if the kernel opens the device why ifconfig does not recognize
it and why it may not function?

                        Thanks, George.

Read the Documentation/Changes file in the new kernel source tree.  You
need to do this when you change kernels, particularly to a kernel in a
new series.

Its not portable, hughe, inefficent and only explains windows.
You haven�t read one FAQ, you flied over the HOWTOs and tried to solve
three or more problems at once - in that confused and hectic point�n�click

If you associate "more widely used" with the possibility of impatient

I pick the second one, I would suggest just throwing him into your killfile
and forgetting him.

I wonder if you could help?

I get the same message,"mount: RPC: Program not registered.

I have one computer that has the /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap ./netfs ./nfs
services going on RH6.0, and I can mount a local point like:

mount server:exportpoint mountpoint

on the server and it works fine.  But not for a client.  The client has
all the same services going.

I have in my /etc/exports on the server:

exportpoint client(rw)

yet I still get the not registered message.  I've followed and re-read
the NFS-HOWTO a billion times now without any luck...Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon
