Subject: setting up dhclient
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 04:55:17 GMT
I found out that I am definitly connected to the
network. I tried pinging a few non-local
IP numbers and was getting like 20-80ms on my
eth0.
My problem is that my $SOCKS variable is not
correctly set. I go into netscape or ftp in linux
and I get a nameserver error. My ADSL provider
uses DHCP for everything, and it apparently works
to get me connected, but is not setting up the
nameserver.
Can someone tell me how to set the nameserver to
use DHCP? Previously, someone suggested that I
need to enable the "dhclient" to lood at boot
time. What is dhclient and how do I
install/configure it?
Thanks for previous answers,
Kevin

If I've got a webhost up behind a firewall, and the webhost
is masqueraded/proxied, then how can I setup virtual hosting.
I still sort of don't understand the virtual hosting thing...
Does is look like this?
www.foo.com 222.222.222.222
www.foo-2.com 222.222.222.222:1
I thought I saw something like this is the mini HOWTO
on virtual hosting, but I'm not sure how it works.
Is it all set up on the one NIC/IP address in the webhost?
How does that work?
Thanks in advance,
chris

Subject: route doesn't work with kernel 2.2.9
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 04:47:10 GMT
i'm running RH 5.0 with kernel 2.0.31
everything was working perfectly..then I upgraded to kernel 2.2.9 and
now, for some reason, i cannot edit my kernel routing table normally.
I can still boot my old kernel and everything still works. whenever i
try to add or delete a route with 'route' it says "SIOCADDRT: Operation
not supported by device"..and if i try to remove a route that shows up
in the routing table i get: "SIOCDELRT: No such process"...
i noticed that my eth0 showed thousands of errors on the TX packets
(and so did the loopback device) when i was in the 2.2.9 kernel. I
booted the other kernel and removed all the entries in the table, but
when i booted the new kernel...the table had not been affected at all.
my hair is almost gone now, does *anyone* have any ideas?

As Steve states I have just configured my Linux Box to act as a Domain
Client to a Win NT PDC. The only missing stuff I have found is that you
failed to include the "encripted passwords", since Win98 and WinNT SP3 (as
long as I recall) use encripted passwords by default you should include it.
Remember to populate de SMB passwords file with your userīs accounts and
passwords. If there are few users try smbpasswd to do it. There is a post
around that described a way to do it by a command...
Hope this could solve your problem.

Hi!
First of all, don't crosspost your sound problem to networking , hatdware
and other news groups. It is not realy polite:-)
Now, about your sound problem..
Perhaps your X envoirment (gnome ,kde ..) system uses your sount card.
Enlightenment, for example loads (by default) esd (enlig. sound deamon)
,so the sound card is in use when you try to play mp3 witn some player.
In enlightenment (and gnome+enlightenment) you can say is shell
killall esd
then you will be able to play music..

Subject: NFS Solution to mount: Program Not Registered(portmap bug?)
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 00:52:43 -0500
After trying to follow the NFS-HOWTO I kept getting that message even
though I figured I had all correctly setup.
Turns out that I guess portmap can't handle DNS lookups on
hosts.allow/hosts.deny checks. I say this because upto a moment ago I
had been using names. All other services handled this fine.
However, I kept seeing, upon an attempted mount, in my server logs:
Sep 12 00:40:19 xxservernamexx portmap[1428]: connect from xxclientIP#xx
to dump(): request from unauthorized host
Immediately after I changed the hosts.allow entries to IP#s and tried
mount, it worked.
I would think portmap SHOULD handle DNS lookups in hosts.allow, I mean
it doesn't have a problem with /etc/exports! It's still names there.
Thanks,
Jon

I am taking control of my domain by attempting DNS management
because I had an ISP that thinks that their shit doesn't stink. I have
shown
them 2 error in their DNS configuration that effects my domain.
I have attempted to cut ties, but they will not resolve their
problems.
I have changed ISP and they have allowed me to do my own
DNS'ing. So far everything is going well. However, I am unable
to configure my system so people can access it via www.domain.com.
Any assistance or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hi,
there is no reason for concern at all:
the "MARK" message is generated by the "syslogd".
Check "man syslogd" for details: default is every 20 minutes
you can change that with the "-m" switch in one of your boot scripts
use "-m 0" to turn it off.

Theoretically, yes. I'm having a heck of a time with NFS so I've been
considering running SAMBA or NetWare (Mars) between two Linux boxes. If
the (current) NFS server is running as a NetWare server and I config my
other Linux box as a NetWare client then I should be able to get files from
one to the other. In effect, NFS is just a protocol for letting two
machines exchange information - same as NCP and SMB.

port 80 is the default port, but you can run at other ports just fine. also,
redirecting is done at the ip layer, so it cannot interpret URLs, so you won't
be able to do that with ipchains redirecting.
what you could do is set up two ports on your gateway for your two webservers
and redirect accordingly.

I hate doing that. I only killfile people who are being serious jerks

Besides, this is a chance to educate. Many people here have taken a
position contrary to his, some of them fairly experienced in this type
of thing, and that (if anything) should make some sort of impression.

I do hope you understand what we were trying to say, though, and that
most of us are trying to educate you about the expectations here (and
FWIW, those expectations have been fairly consistent across the 60+
technical newsgroups I read on Usenet, not just the Linux groups).
Good luck on Usenet, Ernest -- in my opinion, you'll need it.

Hmmm. How could you possibly know beforehand how many follow-ups will
appear in a given thread?
I agree that your quote-below-the-reply style is fine as long as you
know that a thread will end with your response.
However, if someone is wanting to answer a posting which follows yours,
your quote-below-posting style means that a lot of block-shifting will
have to be done in order to place your quote in a conversational
context (see my two-level nested quote above for an example).
By using your style, you make it more difficult for others (IMhO).

hi
you'll need to contact InterNIC (i think) and tell them that you've chaged
servers. InterNIC is the authority in charge of all domain names, and you
need to tell them to update THEIR DNS to your new IP address/ISP. if nothing
else, they should be able to help you with this problem...
hope this helps,
