Does anyone know of a utility like "Nortons File Find" that will work under
a Linux Shell.
I was looking for a utility that would look into a text file for a
"textstring" and search multiple subdirectories.
I use grep as much as I can, but I must be missing something.
I havn't figured out how to get it to search subdirectories beyond the
directory in which the search was executed.
TIA,
I feel like a carpenter with his saw blade on backwards.

I use a Caldera 1.3 linux box, with a P90, and 16mb of ram as a
fileserver/gateway/firewall/webserver/email server for a network of about
100 clients most are 98 or 95. We also have to NT servers and 2 Unix
database servers on the network. Our network is BNC, or non UTP. It's
pretty old, but stuff still flies even if our servers do SUCK! Good luck!
The number of clients will not matter!

hi
I know this is a silly question because I've done it b4, but I can't for the
life of me remember how to do it :)
I need three things :) :
a) collect mail & news from my ISP to my linux box and then I can use
winblows or whatever I like to read them without the fone charges :)
b) simple (but effective) way of ip-masq'ing the address so the entire
network can access the TCP/IP connection on my linux box to m isp
c) is it possible to use one e-mail account for say 3 people and
distribute the respective e-mails amongst them? ie: create 2 extra "virtual"
addresses?
pleeease let me know if you can help. and can you relpy via e-mail too :)

Subject: DHCP Big problem
Date: 16 Sep 1999 02:40:58 GMT
Hi :
I was running dhcpcd 1.3 on linux2.2x kernel,
it seems that the dhcpcd has gone crazy and my
cable service provider is very very unhappy. :(.
What happen was that I upgraded my kernel
from 2.0x to 2.2x, and so I follow the howto
guide and download dhcpcd 1.3. It compied and I
put it to /sbin. It works perfectly during
the bootup and got the address fast. It seems
that after a few hours, it cannot renew, or
get another address. As it turns out, my
service provider was complaining that my
machine was swarming their network with IP
dhcp packets (I suspect it might have
overwhelmed their dhcp server). They are
Really unhappy as it affected a lot of
users in the region.
Has anyone of you out there has that
experience ? I would really like to know
what is happening. I checked the dhcpc
cache, the least time was 3600, and the
renew time was 1800. Nothing seems odd
to me.

I had a similar problem before copying from one windows box to
another........it was fixed though by copying from windows->linux...... i
think it has something to do with samba setup, because another of my linux
boxes does the same thing u r describing......
Just check your samba setup & it should be fixed that way...

Steve,
If the machine from which you are administering has an X server running
on it, you can do this. If you're administering the machine, I would
strongly recommend the use of ssh as a means of connection, btw.

The mgetty login.conf file doesn't care about the various options.ttyS*
files at all. It's not mgetty that's reading these files, it's pppd .
And pppd will read the corresponding options.ttyS* files.

Date: 16 Sep 1999 02:31:28 GMT
Hello, I am trying to run battlecom from behind a redhat gateway
that has ip masq working. (I can surf and telnet out from behind)
I found the instructions on battlecom's web site to get it working
but the instructions use ipautofw. I am running 2.0.36 so am trying
to get it working using ipchains or ipfwadm but am not having any luck.
Has anyone got this working? If so how?
My other solution is to give masq access to every port for both
tcp and udp. I would only do this while I am playing so it is not
a huge security hole. What are the parameters to ipchains to set
this up?
Thanks for any ideas you may have,

Hello Michael,
Some checks:
- make sure samba is running (ps axw|grep smbd).
- check your samba configuration (e.g. in /etc/smb.conf)
- check your samba logs for errors (e.g. in /var/log/samba)
- see if there is any network activity between the machines
when you attempt the samba mount on the win95 box (e.g.
via tcpdump or other sniffer).
- if your version of samba requires plain text passwords,
there is a registry setting you must set on the windows
machine to allow for this. i believe it's
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
(requires reboot to take affect).

Joel,
I think what your problem here is that the 2 machines are on different
networks.
Try changeing the IP address of the second machine to 172.16.1.2 rather than
172.16.2.1
this may clear your problem. note: you will need to reboot 98. linux will
accept the change immediately but you may need to reconfigure your routing
table, or reboot linux for it to be done automatically

For Samba, it depends more on the traffic level than the number of users.
Number of users will dictate how much RAM you'll need though. Samba needs
a lot more RAM than a Windows fileserver to support lots of users.
We have a machine here that supports about 1000-1500 simultaneous
connections with Samba, fairly high-traffic too (the machine is on Fast
Ethernet and normally runs between 20 megabits and 80 megabits of output
traffic). It's a dual P2-450 with 1GB RAM. Probably only really needs
768MB, but the extra helps a lot for caching. For 72 users, 128MB should
be fine.
NE2000 ISA network cards are crap though, I'd get some good PCI ones
(Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 or a tulip-based card).
Apache is a different story entirely. Depends on what you're doing with
it.

i saw a very good recipe for this in a recent issue of linux magazine.
yup, here it is - august, 1999 issue. page 48.
in a nutshell:
- ensure your kernel supports ip_masquerade. (rh6 out of the box
does).
ls /proc/net/ip_masquerade
- ensure you have ipchains:
rpm -q -a |grep ipchains
or
ls /sbin/ipchains
- create rc.firewall to contain:
#!/bin/bash
# customize here
GW2ISP=gateway_provided_by_your_isp
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
# /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake ports=26000,27000,27910
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_cuseeme
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_vdolive
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.0/24 -j MASQ
route add default gw ${GW2ISP} dev eth1
echo "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall done."
# end of rc.firewall
- make rc.firewall executable only by root.
chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
chown root /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
- call rc.firewall from rc.local. add:
if [ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
fi

uhm, don't think that's possible. ask your isp if they can

Michael W,
I have had this problem where 95 couldnt access linux smb shares. Firstly
have you set up the shares?? 2) are you running an NT server? 3) if not,
have you created a user account in linux from which the 9x/NT machines can
use to log onto these shares??
i had problems with the 3rd one and 9x clients. just set one up to be say
user: smb password: net and get the 9x/NT machines to log on using those
credentials....
Let me know how you go

Matt,
If you are going to install windows NT, use the NT boot manager. I am
running this for triple boot between NT, 98 and RedHat 5. Just set up all
of the os's so that their boot record is in thier partition (eg lilo in
partition rather then mbr) & keep a dos fat16 as primary master drive prim
part. (have a linux boot disk handy), then install NT last. NT will set up
dual boot NT-98. then boot linux from your disk, login as root. mount your
fat16 partition (i like /common). then use dd to export the boot records
into files on your fat16 partition
eg: if linux is installed in /dev/hda9 type:
dd if=/dev/hda9 of=/common/linux.bs count=1
^^ is your os ^^ place & ^^ specifies first
512 bytes (boot record)
partition name of boot
sector file
then edit your windows NT boot.ini file (in C:\ - has RASH attribs)
place in lines like
C:\LINUX.BS="RedHat Linux 6"
C:\BEOS.BS="BE OS 4.5"
C:\SOLARIS.BS="Solaris 7"
there should be an entry
C:\BOOTSECT.DOS which is your 98 boot sector
there will also be a line like:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Verison
4.00"
which is your windows NT line. to specify default, boot NT login as
administrator, & press alt-enter on my computer. goto startup/shutdown tab
& select it in there
Any questions/problems - just reply
Cya,
Mikey

You shouldn't have any problems, with just the one hub. I did have problems
with a Linksys hub connecting to a SOHOware hub that were separated about
60-100' apart, which is coming close to the max distance for 100 Mbit hubs (I
originally had my office in the 2nd story bedroom and other computers down in
the basement). It got to the point where I would have to reboot several times
a day, and replaced both hubs with the more expensive 3com office connect 8
port hubs, and never had a problem at that distance (I have since moved
everything down to the basement due to not having air conditioning). Whether
it was the Linksys hub that was at fault or the SOHOware, I never found out
(the SOHOware hub was certainly flakey, since it had a rather noisy fan).

Use
\yourusername, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The backslash is to prevent an endless .forward loop.

Hello Tibor,
Linux provides Samba for sharing files and printers with Windows
machines, and Netatalk for sharing files and printers with Mac's.
There is a SMB-HowTo at:
http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html
There is a Netatalk-HowTo at:
http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/
Hollar if you have questions as you're setting it up.

Subject: 2 pcmcia cards in laptop
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 00:25:12 -0300
We are getting ready for an installfest this saturday, and we decided to
setup a laptop as router during the installfest. I've been trying to get
two 3com 3c589 cards working - one is a 3c589b and the other is a 3c589d.
Either card will workin slot 1, however it is not detecting cards in slot 2.
anyone out there have any suggestions? I've re-installed the kernel-pcmcia
package, but i've not tried a second system yet. We have the same system
at work, which i will try tommorow.
thanks,
dwight s.b

Subject: making my ip masq script wait 10-15 seconds to let pppd finish connecting
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 23:16:48 -0500
I need to find a way to make my ip masq script wait 10-15 seconds so that
pppd can finish connecting to my isp since my masq script uses the ip
address that I'm assigned for a few of the rules. To dial out I use a
script called bellsouth-up. This script calls pppd with my chat script. Is
there a way to either do a while statement or even just a 10 sec loop in a
bash script to pause it before it calls the masq script???
Thanks!

Subject: connect Win98 to Linux via serial ports ?
I used to have my Win3.1 machine connected to my Linux server through
parallel ports (PLIP). This gave my Win3.1 machine full access to
the Internet. BUT; I've since upgraded to Win98 and PLIP only works
in a DOS window and only with DOS programs and not with any Windows
programs.
Is it possible to connect Win98 to Linux using serial ports; meaning
no modems are involved ?
If so may someone point me in the proper direction as to how to do this.
All the documention I've read assumes that modems will be involved. :(
Thanks,
