Re: Unknown error when I plug cable into NE2000 NIC
When I plug an RJ45 cable into my NE2000 card I get the following error over and over again until I remove the cable - eth1: Command unit stopped, status 4040, restarting. Has anyone else seen this, and were you able to fix it? Scott. Do you have multiple ethernet cards in your machine?

Re: Help with IP masquerading

The only things I've found that don't work are ftp (dir listings only, file gets by wget and netscape work fine (which I don't understand)) and ping. This must be related to masquerading (i.e. not diald). For ftp to work you must load a specific module: ip_masq_ftp. I think this module also does the icmp masquerading (for ping). This is because ftp sends a port number and has the server call you back at that port. There are other specific modules for some other protocols. The modules that I have are: ip_masq_raudio, ip_masq_vdolive, ip_masq_cuseeme, ip_masq_irc. Yes, that is correct. These extra masquerading modules were only included in the standard linux kernel since version 2.0.30 (or was it 2.0.29?). Before then, you had to download the masquerading patches (go to http://www.linuxhq.com for all your official and unofficial kernel patches - if you want to know about the kernel, this is one of the best sites around), patch the kernel and recompile. What this means is that unless debian's kernel package maintainer (Herbert Xu) applied the bumper masquerading patches before compiling, then people with kernel 2.0.27 will need to recompile their kernel to get masquerading support for irc, ftp, real audio, ping, etc... alternatively, they can download kernel-image-2.0.30 from frozen or unstable. Personally, I think it is much better to install kernel-source and make-kpkg and compile your own custom kernel that suits your system.

Most Linux documentation advises against running bind, saying that it's

I would rather say that it took me a several hours but perhaps I'm
worse than average.
for a site that doesn't need to be primary or secondary for any domains,
bind installation configuration should only take a few minutes.
The only thing you need to know is the IP address of a forwarder
(optional but recommended) and whether you want debian's bindconfig
to run a primary for the 127.in-addr.arpa domain (reverse lookup for
localhost) - the answer to that question is yes...i can't think of any
reason for saying no.
If you need to run a primary or secondary name server (not advised on a
dial-up connection - nameservers are meant to be on the net permanently)
then configuration will take longer than that, of course.
BTW, if you're using diald you'll probably want to configure it so that
it doesn't bring up the link every time you want to resolve a name. But
you'll want to do that whether you're running bind or not.
In fact if you're using diald having a local bind server is
perhaps more trouble than it's worth. Here is why:
- Either diald does not bring the connection up for DNS requests. Then
applications will seem to hang if the result for their DNS query is not in
the cache. They will stay blocked in some gethostbyname call until the DNS
server times out which takes quite a long time. With some X applications
you can completely freeze the X server (with netscape click on a menu. It
does it's name lookup right here and it seems to block X).
OK, you might be able to speed that up. try editing your
/etc/ppp/ip-{up,down} scripts so that:
- when the link goes down, use ipfwadm to 'reject' (not 'deny') outbound
packets for upd port 53 (allow for your internal network, but
reject for 0.0.0.0/0). bind should get a 'no route to host' reply
whenever it attempts to do a lookup. With any luck, it will return
the error result immediately rather than trying again.
- when the link goes up, use ipfwadm to remove the udp 53 block.
I haven't tested any of this. I don't know if it works, but it's worth a
try.
(i'd test it myself but i don't use either IP Masquerading or diald on any of
my machines)
- The second problem does not depend on whether DNS bring the PPP
link up. If your IP address is dynamically assigned by you ISP and you
type ftp ftp.debian.org and the name lookup is returned by the local
DNS cache then the first packet on the network is the first packet
for the TCP conenction. But I noticed that in that case diald seems
to send the packet with the wrong source IP address, i.e. that of the
fake serial device instead of the one of the fresh new PPP connection.
Consequence the connection will never make it, you have to abort ftp
and restart it. This effectively prevents me from using diald with the
DES client.
that sounds like a problem with either diald or IP masquerading...or
possibly a routing problem. it seems unrelated to bind.
have you tried putting a wrapper script around your des ftp client? send
a couple of pings first, and then run ftp?

It's untested, and i have no way of testing it. It's worth trying, though...it might help, and it certainly can't hurt to try it. Instead of listing the remote nameserver several times in /etc/resolv.conf, try listing the local (127.0.0.1) nameserver several times.

DNS is a 'mission-critical' network service.

on bo really are both 5.4.23, and you really should install the same
versions of each package. That's why it's got the = sign.
OK experts, did I do good or at the very least, good enough?
I think you'd better check the mirror -- it doesn't seem to be

INN is fine if you have a dedicated machine with a lot of RAM but for a small network where a system must wear many hats, you are probably much better off with batched news. I can't seem to get news running OK, I've put my news details into the get-news.conf, and running get-news seems to connect to my ISP's news server and download messages, but they seem to then dissapear completely. Is there a HOWTO or a FAQ that covers this configuration ? I've had a look through but not been able to find anything suitable. -- -- Alex Monaghan Network Support Analyst, Royal Mail Anglia London Rd, Stevenage, SG1 1AA, UK Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] STD 01438 767081 Postline5811 7081 -- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: amd problem
Go to Radio Shack and get a tube of silicone heatsink compound. It is in the section where they sell IC's and mounting hardware. Remove the fan from the heatsink and smear a tiny bit on the heatskink where it contacts the CPU. (This stuff is difficult to clean up so BE CAREFUL with it), then put the fan back on the CPU. THis aids heat transfer between chip and fan and will help the CPU run much cooler (though the fan may FEEL warmer as it is now transferring more heat away from the CPU).

Re: IP-Accounting HOWTO?
Hmm, I was looking towards something more specific, I just didn't know yet, whether the kernel IP-Accounting was sufficient for my purposes; which it unfortunately isn't... I'd need to get a finer split in traffic list, I'd need to get an accounted list indicating each service and each new destination separately. Is there a package to do that yet? I mean - if I understand it correctly, the only way to realize this, would be to add zillions of IP-Accounting rules, one for each service/destination combination, right?

elm/smail config problem
Hi Everyone, Thanks for putting together a great system. But I'm writing because I have a problem setting up my first mail system. My mailbox at the isp is lee.bradshaw, but the username on my network is bradshaw. I can get mail with popclient just fine, but I can't seem to get the correct return address on my outgoing mail. I've tried -trusted, -trusted_user=bradshaw, -sender_env_variable=SENDER_NAME in the smail config file, but the from line is From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change this? I've got three addresses which need to be changed (the usernames were already used at the isp.)

HTML in email
A sort of novice question: I read my mail with pine. Occasionally I get mail from this list and from others that has HTML markup embedded within it. What causes this? Is it the sender's mail-enabled browser's problem or is it a pine problem on the receiving end? I sometimes use a mail-enabled browser and I wouldn't want to unintentionally foist this PITA feature on anyone else. Curiously, I tried to forward a recent example of this back to this list for comment and when pine entered its edit mode--the html markup disappeared!

Re: Problem with telnetd ???
Try putting an entry like this in ross's /etc/hosts: IP addr. of the machine you are telneting from name of that machine Make sure ross's /etc/host.conf says order hosts,bind. If this solves your problem it is because the TCP wrapper can not find the name of the machine you are trying to telnet from (an intruder is trying to get access to your system.) Taking a look at /var/log/daemon.log would help too. You'll see there why telnetd is failing. Good luck.

Re: How to configure dhcpcd?
dhcpd is indeed the server. However, Harmon is asking about dhcpcd, which according to the docs is indeed a dhcp client. I haven't used it yet but since I work for a cable company that is rolling out cable modems I probably ought to learn it. I think Jens is correct in saying that a bootp client will work also. I'll let you know what I find out - feel free to interrupt, anyone :) I won't feel bad if someone shares the secret before I discover it. -- Nathan Norman:Hostmaster CFNI:[EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key and other stuff Key fingerprint = CE 03 10 AF 32 81 18 58 9D 32 C2 AB 93 6D C4 72 -- On Thu, 22 May 1997, Jens B.

Re: How to configure dhcpcd?
Harmon Sequoya Nine: Hi. I've got a new cable modem that I am trying to configure for Linux. I've read the docs on dhcpcd, the daemon that fetches the IP address, etc., from the cable company, but I can't determine how to use it from these docs (I'm a total newbie to cable modem configuration). What files do I need to edit and what should their contents be? Is anyone using dhcpcd, and if so could you send me these files? It would be GREATLY appreciated :-). Are you using the debian dhcpcd package version 0.6-2 or higher? If so, it should have prompted you for configuration info when it was installed, and you shouldn't have to do anything else. Anyway, all you really need to modify to configure the daemon if it's already installed is to edit /etc/dhcpc/config, which specifies what network interface to configure (typically eth0), and restart the daemon. -- See shy Jo. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

hda: dma_intr: error=0x01
This is a posting concerning a post about a week ago. We were discussing this as a hard drive going TU or a problem with the e2fs operation. I believe it was joost that mentioned he had this problem when he had a dma conflict with a sound card. I disabled dma on my hard drive a week ago and haven't seen this error since. It had been rearing it's ugly head during cron.daily, most notably, along with a few other tasks. I have left my system up since the change so that cron.daily has run every day and I haven't seen the problem once since. Since I can't change the dma on my sound card (software configured) I guess this is the fix. Just an FYI for those involved in the earlier posting.
