Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 15:46:34 GMT
Hello,
I've installed a base system of SUSE 7.1 with two nics. eth0 and eth1. I
have Ip_forwarding enabled but routing does not seem to be working. My
routing table is below.
Protected servers sit on eth1, T1 on eth0. On the suse box I can ping any
machine on eth1 and any site on eth0. But from machines on the eth1 side I
cannot ping across the suse box. eth1 has ip 204.83.38.4 and eth0 has ip
204.83.38.3 and gateway is 204.83.38.1. clients have ip 204.83.38.4 as their
gateway and can ping it successfully, but as I said not across.
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric REF UseIface
204.83.38.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 uh 0 0 eth0

Subject: autofs devices ownership
Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2001 20:46:07 +0200
Hi,
I have installed autofs on my Debian 2.2 system with the following
files:
auto.master:
/var/autofs/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout 6
auto.misc:
cdrom -fstype=3Dauto,ro,user,exec,nosuid,nodev :/dev/hdc
floppy -fstype=3Dvfat,rw,user,sync,exec,nosuid,nodev :/dev/fd0
windows -fstype=3Dvfat,rw,user,exec,nosuid,nodev :/dev/hda1
Now whenever a user accesses these filesystems they get mounted ok, but
they're only writeable for root. How can I influence the ownership? The
mount option "user" seems to have no effect.
Thanks for any help,
Jan Rheinl=E4nder

Subject: Re: Soundcard play *.au and *.wav files, but not from CD rom
Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 16:49:44 GMT
I found the problem, at least to a degree. The sound card has two
audio outputs. One is working, the other is not. Apparently, there is
a way, in windows, to turn on 4 speakers, or both front and rear. In
Linux, apparently, only one of the audio output ports works. I am
noping there is a way to get the other one to work, so that I will
have 4 speakers (or, actually, one output for headphones and another
that goes to an amplifier) but I don't know if that is possible.
Maybe there is some driver software that will allow me to use both
front and rear, or at least both audio outputs???
Does anyone know of such software?
TIA,
Ed

I've been using Wolverine at home and work for the last few weeks.
I've only had a couple of minor issues with it -- the installer never
failed and the wrap-up is very good. If they keep this up, RedHat 7.1
will be one killer distribution.

Subject: Re: How do you stop Linux from trying to start sendmail on startup??
Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 16:58:37 GMT
Yes, you are correct. I am having a problem with the hostname. It does
not get found, although it does get assigned early in the startup
script as chinook, and I see that host name at the command prompt. So,
I am not quite sure why it is not getting assigned correctly. It is
also causing a problem with httpd. My problem with assigning an ip
address, as I know you are supposed to do, and a full address, is that
I am using a switch to connect my network machines to a cable modem.
The switch acts as a dhcp host. So, my ip address is not static. Also,
I just use a machine name and a workgroup. I do not have a fully
qualified domain. Under those circumstances, how do I configure the
/etc/hosts file??
Also, I suspect this may be why the win2k boxes on my network cannot
see the linux box except by ip address, and even then, I cannot get
samba to work properly. I can only ftp or telnet into the Linux box.
The windows machines all seem to recognize each other by name, but the
linux box cannot be seen. Also, the linux box cannot see any of the
other machines except by ip address. Again, I attribute this to the
Maxgate swtich gateway. However, if I log onto the switch, and look at
the "leased ip table" it shows the machine names of all machines,
including the linux box. So, it knows, but it does not seem to be
capable of getting the appropriate info on the linux box to the win2k
boxes, or the info on the win2k boxes to the linux box. Something else
needs to be set, or filled in, or activated, but I don't know what.

There's nothing wrong with praising Microsoft; they do many cool
things with computing.
That said, I think you'll find you're using the wrong tool for the
job. Install wget (if it isn't already installed) and it can do some
very incredible things:
wget -l2 -r http://linux.com
`man wget` will describe all the many things this tool can do

Windows networking won't allow you to login to the same server as
different users.

lose enlightenment .. it wants to control the background settings.. and
it does it poorly (and those freaking 'epplets' .. man are they ugly or

been in development for more than 10 years? It is actually older than
Linux itself!

Subject: Add module for Compaq Netelligent 10/100 PCMCIA NIC ?
Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 12:52:20 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to get networking working properly on a Compaq LTE 5300 laptop
under RH7. When 6.1 was on there, I just plugged in a Compaq Netelligent
10/100 PC card NIC, started the laptop and started /etc/init.d/network -
Everything worked fine. Now that I've installed RH7 (with the card in
place), it's no go. I get no errors, but every attempt to access the
network results in "network unreachable". Plus, the LED on the pigtail
stays red all the time. This goes into to a 100mb switch, cnfigured not to
autonegitiate (which can't be changed).
I've taken a look at the PCMCIA HOWTO and it recommends using what looks
like a Xircom module (xirc_whatever). However, this module isn't visible
on the kernelcfg list at 800x600 (the best the LCD panel will do). In
fact, it's not on my home PC, either, where I can see the whole list.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? I've looked in /etc/pcmcia, but there's
network.opts as the HOWTO suggests.
I seem to remember that under RH6.x when you ran kernelcfg and added or
removed a module, you needed to restart the kernel daemon. There's no such
option with the kernelcfg in RH7. Is this all dynamic now?
If I headed in the wrong direction, I'm open to advice.
Thanks for any help.
