It is a very very good possibil;ty specially since you do file and
printserving.
I suggest however to change your recommendation from RedHat to SuSE (but
thats a matter of taste, but SuSE handles the complete System V standard
and provides better support and better software with their distro).
But Let me give you some pointers:
First build your Linux server to act as a SambA server. I assume you
wish to use the standard client software from MicroSoft. SambA can
create a Logon server that looks and feels just like a NT server.
The Logon scripts are a bit tricky though, Novell Netware has great
logon scriping NT does'nt (standard) and Linux either. But I have made a
small perl script that enables you to map upon group memberships. So
that you can do the mapping of drives based upon group membership.
You can however only map root (Novell term) this SMB and Netbios
standard so you have to keep that in mind.
You also have to be awre that default you can't assign the way tyou can
with Netwares trustees. There is however a software package called Linux
Trustees that does. However I never tried that I'm not felling like
trying it either I like to keep my system Unix System V compliant :)
Make all user on in the Linux mache. You can either make a nice scripts
that tries reading a file that uses a fromat like this:
username password mail_alias group1 group2 group3 group4 group5 group6
group7 etc etc.
Unfortunatly I don't have this script anymore it got lost in my last
conversion. But if you have a lot of users I think I can help you build
one.
When you start migrating your data, it is adviceable that you make
directories with the same name of your netware volume and copy the data
in there.
Than start setting up rights etc based upon Unix wich matches closely to
Novell trustees or use the trustees packege.
And build a nice logon script. (You can reachme for this small piece of
software or advice on mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] )
I have done Netware migrations from 3.12 -> 4.11 from 3.12 -> NT and
from 3.12 to Unix/Linux several times and it's a bit of hardwork but
it's dowable.
Migrating from 3.12 to either 4.x or 5.x also causes some hassle when
you want to use the NDS properly.
P.S.
I don't know where you are in the world but if you need hands on
consultancy and help I'm also available.

I am not really an expert, but I'll give it a try:
check if your kernel already supports your network card, and you should be
able to just plug it in. Chances are it's recognized at boot. Then all you
need is do interface configuration (ifconfig) and routing (route), except if
you are on dhcp network, then you'd do dhcpcd or dhclient, depending on which
software you have installed.
If your kernel doesn't support your network card, you may have to recompile
your kernel and take care you include your network card - maybe as a module.
hope this helps,

Okay, you've got a 'cannot find module eth0:0 (lo 0:0)'
type this in
ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg*
If you have more than just your eth0, lo and maybe a ppp or two, then
that's where the call is coming from. It's doing what RedHat did with
the /dev directory, creating quite a few extra interfaces on the chance
that you get one in the future.
The eth0 and lo should be executable. If you only have one NIC, leave
in the ppp ones and eth0 and lo and you can delete the rest (only the
ifcfg-???)

Hi,
I copied over my .java and Makefiles to RH6.0 from my NT4.0 to my
RH6.0 and guess what the Makefile refuses to work. I know there is no
syntax errors. However, I suspect that there are some unprintable
characters in the makefile that screwed the make utility up.
If I delete the makefile totally and re-write it, then it works.
Otherwise no luck. If anyone knows some problems with transferring

Yes (see the other posting) but make sure there is no reference to
the old hostname somewhere else.
Of interest are especially files in /etc, so do a ...
find /etc -type f -exec fgrep -l current.host.name {} \;
...
If you are not sure about running services to be re-started do a reboot
even so and if there is a name server up and running update its data

Subject: linux in NT network
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 10:18:51 GMT
Hej,
I'm a system administrator of a large school in Denmark with 1500 users.
My boss wants an email system and he gave me two weeks, I installed suse
6.1 on a computer but i'm hvaing serious trouble. maybe somone can help
me.
1. I cannot connect to the network without using DHCP. I use YaST for
the configuration and when I try to do the manual ethernet configuration
I cannot connect to the NT network. (the funny thing is, that when I
use DHCP, I can connect even without typing anyu password B-O)
We have a PDC NT 4.0 with a internal domain called r-server. out
internet connection is www.randers-hf-vuc.dk what domain name does linux
want ? we have only one workgroup called workgroup.
How do I setup the linux machine with a fixed ip adress ?
2. is there a command for suse linux like winipcfg for win 98 which
shows all the tcp-ip settings of the machine ?
3. Is the sendmail configuration of suse sufficient to setup a simple
email system which can be read from the local workstations (win95)using
fx. netscapes mailsystem ?
Hopefully someone can help me. Linux is very popular among school
systemadministrators in denmark and it would be nice if I could present
an alternative to exchange.
thanks alot

Hi,
I was previously running RH 5.1 with my ether card and everything was
ok. I then
upgraded/installed RH 6.0 and my networking is giving me problems --
i.e. my pcmcia
ether card is being recognised ok, but my DHCP protocol is just not
working. Since its
parameters are same as before, I am perplexed as to what the problem
is!! I noticed
the `pump' program is being used, so I got the latest patch, but that
didn't fix the problem.
Whenever I try to make eth0 active, it says .. Determining IP

Operation failed. There are no error messages other than this, so I have
no clue.
Anyone facing similar problems?? Any suggestions/coments will be greatly

I agree with Dan. If you want to LEARN how networking works, and you have
some people that know Linux in the first place, Linux is definitely better,
because you end up controlling everything, instead of having a mysterious
magic box on your desk.
On the other hand, it depends on what you want to do with the network
afterwards. If people are going to want to use MS office, etc., I'd save
the headache of having a mixed-OS network and just do NT.

Subject: Re: Linking Sites by ISDN
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 10:30:17 +0200
You wish to interconnect those 4 networks over the internet?
If so than it's pretty easy, all you need to know is the "static" ip
address assigned to each ISDN ppp session by your provider.
Then you can telnet mount nfs exports between those 4 machines. When you
would like to gain access to all the clients behind those access routers
then you either must portforward with rinetd (wich gets nasty when you
have alot of clients). Or get een internet range of ip addresses for each
subnet, wich in this case would be best.
What also is a cheaper possibility is that you have 1 central router 4 4
ISDN interfaces and all the other units dial in to this server with ppp.
Than you have your own star network with this method you can keep using
the privat range ip addresses. And interconnect these sites through the
4th dialup site on to the internet.
This is just a matter of setting up a ppp server. May I suggest that you
use ISDN terminal adpaters instead of card (wich are way to hard to
monitor and configure). Adding a 4 or 8 ports serial card from TCL and
buying 7 or 8 ISDN TL/V34 ISDN ta's then you have the best solution. The
ISDN TL/V34 is a goo dmachine it does ISDN, V110, V120, X75 and HDLC
transparant and it does V34 over ISDN. So you can also dial in using a
standard V34 modem.
What even more beautifull is, is using 4 Cisco routers dedicated for this
task and make a partially meshed network so that you don't have a single
point of faillure in your network and that you have network load
balancing. It's a bit more expensive since you also need more Lines but if
consistency and stability is important that this is the way to go.

Subject: Possible pppd bug, suggestions for diagnosis?
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 11:02:26 GMT
I've been experiencing problems with my dialup link. Once a week my machine
goes online for 24 hours (taking advantage of a telco offer) and starts a
mass download activity. However after a while (about 130Mb of download) the
ppp link seems to lock up. pppd itself is fine but the outside network
becomes unreachable. I've tried doing a sneding SIGUSR2 to pppd to
renegotiate compression and have noted the lights on the modem do not flash.
The only way to get out is to kill the dialup and redial in. I would like to
track the source of the problem and have so far come up with these possible
candiates:
pppd, the kernel ppp code, the serial driver, the TCP/IP stack itself
I don't think its the TCP/IP stack itself as all this data is being
masquraded to other machines and if this is so I would of expected the whole
machine to become invisible to the network once it had passed 130Mb, which it
doesn't.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could diagnose the dialup link? For
example is there anyway to get ppp to logoff and restart without killing the
serial link?

The problem is coming from those three scripts (i.e. ifcfg-lo, ifcfg-ppp0 and
ifcfg-eth0).
I've test it with the ifcfg-ppp0 script. When i'm logged in and connected to the
internet
and do a killall pppd and a pppd then the errors (can't find..) are wrtitten to
/var/log/messages.
When i move ifcfg-ppp0 to another directory and do a killall pppd and pppd the
problem is
solved. I'm connected to the internet and there are no errors in the log.
Great but... when i restart the system the ppp interface is ignored. And even when i
do a
pppd from the commandline nothing happens.
Uhh just to make sure, this 'problem' appeared after i have upgraded the kernel from
2.2.5-22 to
2.2.12 whitout making any modifications to /dev of whatever.

use DSL and I need a bridge that I can firewall. Does anyone know where
I can find the default RedHat kernel config file? All I need to add is
CONFIG_BRIDGE. The kernels I have been compiling are way too big. I
guess I can turn off (answer NO) to everything extraneous, but it would
be nice to have the default RedHat config as a starting point.

I have exactly the same problem... the vortex-diag ==
Transceiver type in use: Autonegotiate.
MAC settings: full-duplex.
... then the question... how to force half duplex?

Ensure networking works ok (you can ping one machine from the other)
Ensure workgroup name is the same on W98 as in smb.conf

Get the HOW-TO:
http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/
Print it out - go somewhere quiet and then read it. Try the example
chains even with localhost and it all becomes very clear.
