Subject: Domain name for private subnet
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 09:20:41 GMT
Hi!
I've recently installed Redhat 6.0 on my PC. However, I am experiencing a
couple of problems with networking - in particular, setting up the domain
name for my machine.
My machine is on a private ethernet network (currently consisting of only
two machines), with an address 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0. It
also has a ppp dial-up connection for accessing the internet proper. When
I installed RH6.0, I set up the domain name as empty, and the hostname as
*just* the host portion, rather than a proper full-qualified name (since I
was using an "empty" domain name).
My rationale behind this was that I didn't want to accidentally chose a
"ficticious" domain name which was the same as a registered name, since
this would cause me problems when doing DNS lookups down the ppp link.
However, this has created a problem whereby my machine stops for a minute
during boot-up (when the networking stuff is being started up). I traced
this to sendmail, which when examining the machine hostname had problems
trying to determine the (absent) domain name, and went to sleep for a
minute.
How should I get around the problem? I can see a couple of possible
solutions:
1) Don't run sendmail :)
2) Choose a ficticious domain name, hoping it won't ever be actually
registered
However, both of these are kinda poor options.
At a fundamental level, this whole problem is about having concurrent name
servers for a private network and the internet, without them clashing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the best solution is?
Many thanks,
Rich Townsend
PS I know this is a bit of a "bad" request, but I would appreciate it if
any reply could be cc'd to my email address, since my news server tends to
drop messages at random, and in the past I've missed helpfull replies....

Hello,
If the motherboard has two PCI slots, then it is possible to put a PCI
card in it (actually, it is possible to put two PCI cards in it). One
thing to look out for... Are any of the slots shared? Sometimes, an ISA
slot and a PCI slot are "shared", meaning that if one of them is used
the other cannot be. I do not know why they make them that way, but
they do.
Hoping that this helps,
RayH :-)

NT is easier to maintain if you do not have any network knowledge. But if
your reasons for doing this is to learn networking than I would recommend
linux because if you can do it in linux you will have no problem doing it in
NT. plus Linux is more stable than NT. It sounds like you have the resources
(people) to answer questions. Look for books that answer questions in a
manner that you understand than look for other books by the same authors.

Hi,
I could solve the folloving problem by compiling the nfs part right into

Ok, I just bought a Pentium 90 with the intent of installing linux on it. I
am trying to learn linux on this box. It doesnt have a cd rom however, but
it has a network card. I was planning installing it via NFS, using my other
machine which has a cdrom drive. Problem :The network card won't load in DOS
(it's running a slim version of DOS 6.22).
My question is : Since DOS won't load the driver, when I try installing
Linux via NFS, will linux recognise the Network card and start the
installation or will it fail?? The network card works fine, its just that
the driver won't load in DOS.
Thanks Much

Try running "netconfig", and setting your IP address as 127.0.0.1
that will let you use loopback mode

I bet your chroot environment was missing stuff like /etc/nsswitch.conf
and /lib/libnss_*
Believe it or not, even statically linked glibc programs need the nss

I have two questions concerning that: Why would you run a dhcp server
when all you need is a client, and then how do you get pump to not run?
I assume you have to hack the ifup script?

Yes, there is a way to do this.
First, you have to enable IP forwarding and IP Masquarading in your kernel.
This is usually done by altering the kernel source configuration files and
recompiling your kernel. I'd suggest that you read the "Linux Kernel Howto"
before attempting this. You should also read the "Linux IP Masquerade
mini-Howto" to get the proper parameters, and a better understanding of Linux
NAT.
Second, acquire and install the ipfwadm (for Linux 2.0 kernels) or the ipchains
(for Linux 2.1 and better kernels) tools from xos.nl . These tools allow you to
configure your IP masquerading rules (which are part of the IP Firewall
implementation, another howto, I'm afraid - the "Firewalling and Proxy Server
Howto").
Third, configure your masquerade rules (the above Howto docs have the
instructions, as does the xos.nl website).
And you are off to the races.
Good luck

AFAIK, this is impossible since the kernel sends stuff to local adresses
through the loopback device so that it doesn't have to access any hardware.

you probably have your mouse and modem on com1 and com3 or com2 and com4.
com1 and com3 share the same interrupt as do com2 and com4. so use
combination of com1 and com2, com1 and com4, com2 and com3. i.e. combos of
odd and even :)
theres also a way to change the interrupts i believe. dunno this from the

hope this gets you started.......

I personally chose (2), using a domain .ltd (limited) which is
fictitiuos. Perhaps something which is likely to always be fictitious
would have been a better idea (like twne, this-will-never-exist) or even
add some random numbers. It certainly works.
Suddenly it comes to me that you could probably use localhost
(machine1.localhost and machine2.localhost for example). I know this is
a default somewhere.
However, I don't think sendmail actually needs a domain name and can
somehow be set up to not require one. No idea how, though.

Sorry, I didn't get socks5 to work like I wanted it to... However, you

Hi,
I'm trying to set up NIS on a small network of Red Hat 6 linux boxes.
I (think) I've set up ypserv successfully (according to the instructions
that came with it, and NIS_HOWTO).
Then, when I try to get the client software going, I get errors. I
downloaded yp-bind 3.3 and yp-tools 2.3, compiled and installed
successfully. etc etc etc.
When I try a ypcat, I get this message:

hi,
i did it a while ago, and it works perfectly.... check out
http://www.mindspring.com/~kewells/net/
download the null modem driver here. use it with dailup networking over the
null modem. then read the ppp-howto and net3 howto. i believe net3 howto
had the most useful info somewhere at the bottom of the doc.
its farely simple. believe you need to run pppd -detach defaultroute
$localip:remoteip <speed> <port> on your linux machine. on your windows
machine set your linux as gateway, choose the right IP, etc.. the usual.
But do read the docs :) its been awhile since i did this..
i use agetty to have my windows dailup log into the linux machine and from
there i start pppd. i'm sure you can have agetty fire up pppd for you tho.
you can also leave out the username/password etc.. its all in the agetty
manual.
good luck,
David

How do I socksify netscape. When I run runsocks netscape, it segfaults.
The very short README file that came with socks5 says that the program
must be statically linked to the socks lib or you have to do the above;
also, said that all socks5 options should be supported. I don't get it
cause netscape has a place to enter the proxy address in preferences?
Do I need to diable Netscapes dns resolver? Is the pay for version of
socks that netscape sells the same? Their's comes with a java config
utility.

Did you check your flow control (should be bidirectional RTS / CTS flow
control)?
Do you use 16550's or older com port chips?

I tend to use .lan (local area network) which is also fictitious. Personally,
I believe it would make a lot of sense if .lan was officially reserved for
local private networks.

yep.
The extensions that need to be installed are available from
ftp.microsoft.com. The file is fp30.linux.tar.Z, untar with tar xZf
fp30.linux.tar.Z then:
# frontpage/version3.0/fp_install.sh
I've tried the version 4 extensions but couldn't get it going. V3 works just
fine for me.

Since you did not mention your linux distribution, I can only offer help with Redhat
based
systems. In order to "properly" change the host/domain name on a linux box (one that
will
live through a reboot) you need to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network. Simply using
the
hostname/dominname commands without editing this file will NOT leave your name changes
in
effect through a reboot. Although, using these commands answers one of your questions
(changing a name without rebooting). You will also need to edit your /etc/hosts file to
match your changes.
To illustrate what happens when a Redhat based linux system comes up, I have
<cut/pasted>
the relevent parts of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit which addresses your question, if (and only
if)
your interested in having these changes "live" through a reboot.
