Subject: Trouble with win98
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 17:17:45 -0400
Hi
I just set ipmasquerade and I have 2 computer(win 95 and win98) which are
connected to the server(rh5.2)
The win95 goes very well
but I have trouble with win 98
When I ping the nic of win98 from win98 I have an answer but I can't ping
anything else
The light of the hub are all on (link/rx) and the light of the nic of win 98
flash at boot but is off after.
The cable is a home made one(I snap the connector myself, for the first
time) but I triple check the color code and everything seem ok. I can't
check with another cable since this computer is two floor higher and going
thru the wall was quite a job.
Does anybody know what it can be
Thanks

Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 20:34:39 GMT
Hello,
i am trying to set up a primary and secondary name server.
My linux box should be the primary and i asked a friend of mine to do
the seondary name server. I haven't registered my domain yet.
My linux server is also a firewall useing ipfwadm and it seems to work
when i test it by nslookup. But nslookup cant resolve internet names,
although i use my ISP's NS as "forwarders".
A funny thing is that whenever i start nslookup my linux contacts all
roots servers (eg. C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET etc).
When i use nslookup on some other server and try to change to my
server, which works fine, and try to resolve my name it doesnt work,
and my firewall log files dont show any entries.
The other problem is that the secondary server doesnt work. I watched
it once creating my zone file with size 0 and deleting it later.
Is my firewall to restrictive? I accept port 53 udp and tcp in both
directions. Why doenst the log file show anything?
Thanx,
Arash :-)

Yes, you can log everything. I'm using iplog (check on linuxberg) and
you can log to whatever file or server you want with that. Combonation
of iplog and portsentry allows me to see whenever anyone scans me or
attempts entry.

Subject: Diald: Failed to Open /dev/tty
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 14:20:35 -0700
I am able to manually connect to my ISP using ppp. I load diald and it
dials my ISP, as it is supposed to, and makes the connection (for about
a minute) and then it drops. I don't see a ppp0 interface at all during
this time; just sl0. (I think I should be seeing a ppp0 interface at
this time.) I was checking the /var/log/ppp-log, and I was surprised to
see "failed to open /dev/tty: device not configured. This system does
not support PPP..., or the PPP kernel module is not loaded..."
If I can log onto to my ISP manually, PPP must be properly configured
into the kernel. Right? When I do a 'netstat -r', I see a SLIP
interface. So, SLIP must be configured properly, too. Correct? Could
the '/dev/tty' problem be why my diald doesn't work, or does it have
nothing to do with it? I have worked about twenty hours on this f%^&ing
thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, I wish it were that simple. I've been working
this for a while now, and as it stands now I've swapped out the intel
card for a NE2000 clone with interrupts set to 0x320 and irq=12. I had
to reset these in a Dos box so it would not conflict with the 3com card.
swapping the cards did not solve the problem but when I run dmesg i get
something interesting:
NE2000 found at 0x320, using IRQ 12
eth1: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x43, ISR=0x3, t=1000.
eth1: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x43, ISR=0x3, t=6500

Subject: Kppp reports the modem "doesn't respond"
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 14:18:37 -0500
My goal: Make my kppp dial out again.
My suspicion: When I got my soundcard to work, it hosed my modem setup via
the IRQ or something...
For starters:
* I have dialed in as root before (and, as a user) using kppp to my ISP.
Surfed around, no problem.
* After I was able to dial in, I tried to configure my Aureal 3D, ESS1869
sound based card because sound always failed. This was my next task to fix.
* Sound now has an IRQ of 5, the modem does not. Modem should be 3. I set it
up as a Creative Blaster.
* Testing the system sound events results in repetitive sounds coming back.
CDs play fine, if you like the one volume it provides -- actually, I can
adjust it in the mixer, it just doesn't get any louder than, like, "level 5"
would be Windows. i.e., I think the sound card works with the CD, just that
the volume needs adjusting and I don't know how to make it louder.
* I typed "setserial /dev/modem autoconfig" and "setserial /dev/modem
auto_irq" and "setserial /dev/modem irq 3" -- none resulted in my modem's
irq being set. I looked in the system info on KDE for IRQs and there is no
modem listed.
* I have set the suid for kppp
* I have made the /dev/modem universally executable.
* I don't get "lock" errors.
Problem:
* Upon boot up, my modem dials out, then disconnects. When I start kppp, the
kppp reports: "Modem is ready." Then, kppp says: "Modem doesn't respond."
This message does not appear in ANY documentation for kppp that I've found.
I suppose it is due to a conflict occuring when I setup my sound card. This
is why I am reporting all the sound card problems.
Thanks for the help,
Kurt

You want to look at the username map parameter in smb.conf. Go quickly to

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought that if you didn't use smbpasswd and/or
security = server, that samba used the native password on the samba server.
BTW, you might want to get a copy of John Blair's SAMBA book. Well worth
the money for the configuration coverage alone.

Update to my situation, yesterday I saw a telnet session in the log files,

and an account with permissions equivalent to root. How in the world did
they gain access without me knowing? How can I prevent this in the future?

Very likely. That's the result I get when something else uses the
modem/port IRQ.
If you haven't already done "cat /proc/interrupts", it will tell you
which IRQs are in use by what device. If possible, move the modem to
another port/IRQ or, whatever device is using the modem/port IRQ to
another IRQ.
Hope this helps.

You should be able to ping by IP now, if you can't then something is
still wrong in the driver / harware department.
try: ping 10.10.10.1
If you get an answer then all you need is a way for the PC to cenvert
IP's to names. I you want to ping by NAME then it is a simple matter of
adding the units IP and name to the HOSTS file (and LMHOSTS if your
messing with SAMBA). The syntax is close for both:
#HOSTS IP shortname longname
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.1 pc1 pc1.home.com
192.168.1.2 pc2 pc2.home.com
192.168.1.3 sdavisob sdavisob.home.com
For LMHOSTS leave the longname off. Make sure that your setup is
looking for HOSTS file by changing the host name search path, the
easiest way is to use linuxconf and click networking then host name
search path. I use hosts then dns so it looks for dns when dialed in.
On your small network a home dns server is overkill.

Samba will do the trick. You basically have to configure .conf file with
the microsoft networking policies, such as workgroup, computer name, etc.
Some pretty easy stuff, as I recall.

Subject: Fetchmail: fetching for multiple users in one pass
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 22:52:41 GMT
We are currently using fetchmail to retrieve user mail from our ISP
accounts. Each user has a fetchmail cron that checks their mail and
puts it locally where it belongs.
Well, right now we don't have that many users on the system, so
setting this up is not that much work or overhead on the system. But
that will change soon and I'm dreading the day we have to manage
setting up fetchmail cron jobs and .fetchmailrc files for every person
we add. Not to mention the processing overhead of all those fetchmail
cron jobs running at various times!
How can we get fetchmail to, in one pass, check the e-mail account on
our ISP for each of our users and locally distribute the e-mail
appropriately? Can fetchmail be set up to do that? We would like to
have a single configuration file that tells fetchmail what to check
and who to give the resulting e-mail to. That way, setting e-mail
delivery for new users on the system involves just adding a new line
to the configuration file.
If fetchmail cannot do this, is there anything out there that can do
this?
Thanks!

Does anybody know of a way to setup a linux box to accept dial-ups from
home then connect through the linux box on a lan connected to internet
via fiber connection. I guess it would be setting up your office to act
as your own isp.

hi
if the two domain addresses point to the same site, then the IP addresses
wil be exactly the same. If you want www.foo.com to point to one website and
www.foo-2.com to point to another site, you'll need to either use different
IP addresses (the easiest way) or different ports. you can configure the
server to display a different site depending on which IP/port is used. i'm
not an expert on this, so i can't really tell you what you need to do to set
this up, although i'm sure there was a HOWTO abbout this...
hope this helps,
Andrew
