You need to add your new port as a line in /etc/services, and probably
in /etc/inetd.conf
Take a look at the syntax there for other services, and simply make
duplicate lines.

Subject: Problem with log-in on NT RAS
Date: 15 Sep 1999 14:59:30 -0600

I occasionally have to dial into my office (which uses an NT network
for the remote access) using the NT RAS services from my RH5.2 box.

Anyway, until a couple of weeks ago, the CHAP/PAP setup I had on my
Linux box worked just fine.  Then, they changed some NT "domain" stuff
around at work, and now, I can't connect to the network (it just hangs
up on me).

I haven't found any errors in any of the log files to tell me what is
happening (dmesg says that ppp0 has been registered, and so on).  I'm
suspecting that the "new and improved" NT setup at work is requiring
some kind of "domain" login, which I don't *think* Linux can do...
Of course, maybe they switched to MSCHAP2 (I heard that Linux can't 
handle that yet, either).

Does anyone have any ideas?  Can I turn-up the debugging info level
to see what's happening?  

Thanks!
Mike

I ran into a problem where dhcp wasn't working properly out of the
box with Red Hat 6.0.
It is documented on the Red Hat site, that there is a problem with
pump (search on pump in the support area).  I downloaded the new
version of pump and it fixed me right up.

I was getting an IP address, but no nameserver information.  I'm not sure
what else I was missing.  That was the problem I was tackling first.
You might try upgrading your version of pump.

Javascript keyboard events (OnKeyPress etc....) are not functionning at
all for my Linux XFree86 x86 version. I guess it is some X setup (key
binding ) file which isn't well configured. However I tried to modify
the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape  (RH6.0) file but it didn't fix
the problem.  Maybe it is the Gnome configuration (I am using
gnome) which is involved. How knows?

Hello,

I am thinking about turning my old laptop (p166, 80mb RAM) in a linux
firewall for my ADSL connection.

My main question: will two 3com 3C589D PCMCIA ethenet cards work well?
I have not idea of the through put of these cards, but I do not want
them slow down my net connection.

Any other worries when running Linux on a laptop?  Any particular
distribution which works best?

Thanks,

Dominic

Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 18:46:13 GMT

Okay fellas, here's the situation:
I just installed Mandrake 6.0 on my system. The network card is a
3Com900B-TPO (Etherlink XL). Everytime I boot up Linux, the
"initializing eth0" always fails. I have absolutely no idea what I should
do, I just started using Linux about 2 weeks ago, so I'm very green to the
whole Linux scene. I tried using Linuxconf and netcfg, but nothing seems to
work. I'm on a cable modem through Shaw@home, which works fine under
Windows. I'm very frustrated over this whole thing, so if anyone has any
good ideas on how to get this card working, please e-mail me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
P.S. --> "Try recompiling your kernel" is not considered a good idea since I
haven't the slightest clue how to do it, please remember I'm a newbie in the
extremest sense of the word. Thanks in advance guys!!

I believe the driver you are looking for is at the following location:

http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ethercard.html

It uses the via-rhine chipset, which has a generic driver for it.
RedHat 6.0 has module support for it out of the box (via-rhine.o).

Works fine in my system.

You can create a null-modem ppp session from your Windows box to your

It's a bit tricky but dowable. There is some info on this in the mgetty and
the pppd howto's (if I'm correct).

Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 19:52:55 +0200

DNS: You need to tell your ISP that you wish to run your own primary DNS and
tell them the registerd ip address, they will contact internic and give them
this info for there root servers. After about 5 days you are the primairy DNS.
(A hint let the ISP run your secondary DNS for you, he probably runs promary
and secondary for your rght now).

Squid only uses HTML and FTP as it's possible protocolls. (it also caches sites
localy wich speeds up things). If you want other protocolls, than you should
configure your Linux kernel for masquerading this way you can send and receive
most protocolls. Transprantly for the users.

I'd jump on the firewall bandwagon with the other guy.  

If Linux is falling over due to high bandwidth usage, it might be
worthwhile to send a note to the linux-kernel list
(linux-kernel(at)vger.rutgers.edu).  Maybe somebody will take note,
though it is a high traffic list and might get missed.

There are firewall products that you can just plug in after the
router/switch, and there are often rules you can give many smart routers/
switches to stop unwanted attacks.

Have you turned on syncookies?  Perhaps these people are trying the
infamous syn flood attack.

maybe putting your card into promiscious mode does something odd which

This should be don. you should tell that 127.0.0.1 is loclhost otherwise
DNS can't resolve that hostname.

You should enable masquerading on the linuxserver and use rinetd as the
portforwarding software instead of ip-portfw. The latter is still very alpha.
rinetd works very good for single socket connection protocolls.

You're requesting 192.168.0.8 as the IP address to use for the PPP
connection.  That's OK with many ISPs and necessary for a few but not
allowed by a few too.  It may be coming from your hostname for a LAN
your box is on and if so then add the pppd noipdefault option.  You
should then be requesting 0.0.0.0 as your IP address which is the
standard way of asking the ISP to provide the IP address it wants
you to use.

If it's not coming from your hostname then it may be configured as a pppd
option and if so then remove the option.

Another thing that might cause IPCP problems is the asyncmap you request.
You requested asyncmap 0 but some ISPs seem to need asyncmap a0000
although they shouldn't.  The asyncmap 0 may be the default for recent
versions of pppd, try adding the pppd option  asyncmap a0000  to find
out if this peculiarity is causing trouble.

You can save log space by adding the pppd option noccp since neither you
nor the peer have any CCP algorithm in common, which is frequently the
case.

Hi and welcome to the OpenSOurce world.
Installing Squid as a caching proxy is easy, just install it from your RedHat
CD and start it like this /sbin/squid -sYD& (adding this too
/etc/rc.d/boot.local is easy than it starts up every time the server starts)
and it is all done.
Al you now have to is tell the clients that the need a proxy server give the ip
address of the linux server in hostname/address on th eproxy settings and the
pornumber for squid is 3128. You need to set these only for HTTP and FTP in
Netscape/IE.

Whilst 10Base2 was "alright" in its day, it's still somewhat restrictive:
all those T-pieces, and terminators, and maintaining the integrity of the
segment.  Thta's why nearly everyone these days has gone down the road of
10BaseT, although I'll grant you that it isn't immediately obvious what
the benefits might be. :-)

There aren't any "issues" with that.  Get an Ethernet running between all
the machines, and you'll have the requisite connectivity, no matter what
the physical medium may be.

> Is there another possibility I'm overlooking here?

My home LAN used to be just two machines, interconnected through a
cross-over 10BaseT cable.  I recently added a third machine for the lad,
and purchased a small hub.  In the interim, he aquired a laptop, where
the PCMCIA Ethernet card had only a BNC connector.

*Luckily* the hub I'd bought had eight RJ-45 connectors *plus* one BNC.
So now he's connected over the 10Base2 to the hub, and the other three
machines are each connected to the hub over 10BaseT.

I'd advise investigating the possibility of buying a similar hub.  You,
of course, would connect the BNC port to your existing 10Base2 segment,
and merely connect the HP machine over 10BaseT to tone of the RJ-45
ports.

My hub is somewhat more expensive than your projected price range, but by
no means expensive.  It cost GBP35 (about 50 dollars), and would give you
an excellent expansion path.  Mine has no indication of model number,
although the name "Dynamode" is emblazoned on the front.  Very neat unit,
measuring about 5x3in, and came complete with plugtop PSU.

Hi, guys

I am a newbie of Linux, now I just install a RH6 on my PC,
but I want to try some network stuff under Linux, is there
anything like "soft networkcard" ( I ever use such thing to
cheat NT it is on a LAN). Or do I have other choice?

Thanks lot.

How do you rename an existing Linux server?  I have been searching for 
information on this, but cannot seem to find any.  I would like to rename 
the server (hostname and domain name) on an existing server.  Is there an 
easy way to do this without rebooting?

Thanks,
