Re: EXT3 questions
Hi, On Wed, May 01, 2002 at 10:54:15AM +0200, Eduard Bloch wrote: Weird. Is it really an up-to-date box? I was told, newer e2progs do even hide the journal afterwards if they get a chance, ie. running e2fsck on an umounted partition. Yes, it's up-to-date. Here's Stephen's explanation: e2fsprogs can move the journal out of the way into a private, hidden inode, but it won't do that if the filesystem is already mounted. When e2fsck is initially run during boot, only root is mounted, so only root's .journal stays around. So one question has been answered. But my main problem remains why I cannot boot an ext3 root partition with our standard kernel. Is anyone using such a setup? I have been using some months ago. Are you using initrd-based kernels?

EXT3 questions
Hi, I'm experiencing with ext3 it appears I have some questions that maybe anyone of you can answer: - Is it possible to use ext3 for the root partition with the stock debian kernel? My ext3 roots work nicely with a hand made kernel but the stock Debian one just mounts the partition ext2. Isn't that what the initrd.img is for? - I added ext3 to several partitions. All seem to work nicely. And on all execpt one the journal seems to be hidden. That is a ls -a does not show a .journal file. But on one partition an ls -a shows a file .journal. However, this partition also was mounted as EXT3 and everything seems to work nicely. Any idea why .journal is not moved away? Yes, I did run e2fsck on all of them. BTW all systems in question are woody. Thanks in advance for any hints. Michael P.S.: Please CC me on replies. -- Michael Meskes Michael@Fam-Meskes.De Go SF 49ers! Go Rhein Fire!

strange problem with squid and isdn
I have an internet gateway that runs squid and acts as an ISDN router, i.e. isdn runs in auto mode and opens up the internet connection as soon as a package goes out. It worked well that way. But at some point it stopped. Well that is it still works well soemtimes and sometimes it don't. Interestingly the problems started when we switched to an different ISP. So what happens? The user starts his browser and directs it to a web page. The browser then asks squid for that web page and that's it. I see the squid connection being logged by ippl, but squid does not seem to do anything. There is no isdn connection being started. Once when I was on site I checked connectivity by pinging a machine and the router opened up the connection without a problem. Then I tried to shut down squid but /etc/init.d/squid stop failed. It printed lots of dots followed by Failed. I had to manually kill squid. Needless to say everything was well again after restarting squid.

iproute questions
I have problems using iproute. Maybe there's anyone on this list who knows some details I cannot find in the docs: 1) How do I get traffic control running? I tried running the example script from the package but only get RTNETLINK error messages. This might be because I have to enable another kernel option. But I have no idea which. ip for instance works fine. 2) What do I have to do to get NAT going. It's easy if the official number is routed by my router. But is it possible to run NAT with an IP number not routed by the router? That is if my route is 1.1.1.1 can I use 1.1.1.2 as NAT address? Thanks in advance for your help.

NAT
Could anyone give me a working NAT setup? I'm not sure if what I want to do is possible at all: INTERNET --- Debian Router --- FTP-Server Let's say the route gets IP number 1.1.1.1 on the external site and 192.168.100.1 on the internal one. The ftp of course gets an private address, says 192.168.100.2. But since it has to have contact to the outside it also needs a official address, let's say 1.1.1.2. Now I'd like to route all packets over the router. Thus I tried to add a nat rule but I cannot get this going. If I translate an internal number, say 192.168.100.3 to the ftp server all is well.

Transparent proxy
Hi, do I still need transproxy? Or can I get my firewall to transparent proxy web access with ipchains/ipmasqadm alone? I tried by adding the following two rules: ipchains -A input -s 172.26.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 www -p tcp -j REDIRECT 8080 ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 172.26.1.1 8080 -R 182.26.1.2 8080 This does not seem to work since I get a destination unreachable. Also I vaguely remember transproxy doing some rewriting since the browser is not proxy aware. On the other hand I'm not sure if transproxy is still up-to-date since it still lists ipfwadm in its control entry. Michael P.S.: Please CC me on replies. -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!

Port forwarding
Could anyone send me a working example of port forwarding? I just tried to get it going to no avail. I test setup has a firewall connecting 172.26.14.0/24 and 172.26.2.0/24 doing nothing but routing. Now i want it to redirect some ports (I tried 23,25,80) from its own 172.26.2.1 address to 172.26.14.7. I tried accomplishing that by adding ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 172.26.2.1 80 -R 172.26.14.7 80 With this setup I get a log entry that someone tried to initiate a session on 172.26.14.7 but that session never is fully established since no data arrive on the outside. Also there is no error log on any of the machines. Then I told my firewall to masquerade the internal network. With that I got www going. However, with a respective rule added, smtp and telnet did not work either. They do get a 'connection denied' icmp package back. But my inside test machine does accept both protocols as I can see when directly addressing it. I also tried to the ip command to redirect anotehr address (in my case 172.26.2.2) completely to my internal machine. Using this setup I have the same problem. I get the log that [EMAIL PROTECTED] tries to establish a connection and nothing more. Strangely enough about every 2nd or 3rd try this log shows the correct user instead of unknown. Finally I tried marking packages to port 80 and add a special ip rule for these packages but the result was the same. I think I missed something essential but right now I have no idea what that could be. And yes CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPPORTFW is defined in the kernel. Thanks in advance for any help.

In common Port Forwarding is used to redirect traffic from the outside to an internal host behind your firewall. (e.g. webserver) this internal host may have an adress from the private space.

When you specify the IP-Adresses, Source and Destination must be adresses on different machines, not of different nic's in one machine. Right. I used as IP addresses the outside address of my firewall and the address of my server in my internal net. If you have a strict policy on your firewall you have to allow this traffic, better you create an seperate chain for portforwarded traffic from the outside to the inside. I even tried with all traffic allowed through. For traffic from the inside to the outside you don't need Port Forwarding, as this is handled by Masquerading or normal routing. Yes, but I also get backward traffic after connecting from the outside. For instance inetd tried to connect to teh auth service to check who is trying to connect. The problem I had with outbound traffic though was with the packets send back in the connection established from the outside. Michael -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!

CD player question
Could anyone please explain to me how the CD players put out the music? It seems I'm having a problem with the sound card on one of my systems. I have one with a isapnp Sounblaster that works fine. For instance I can use play to play wav files, splay for MP3s, saytime tells me how late it is and xfreecd as well as gtcd play the CD. The only thing that doens't seem to work is emusic. But I didn't try more than just hitting PLAY on emusic so there is a lot of room for missing configuration on my part. My other system using an es1370 chip set PCI card that is (wherever possible) identically configured. I have no problem playing WAVs and MP3 with play resp. splay. But that's about it. None of the CD players gives me any output. But I also get no error message at all. And saytime produces some static in the speaker. Now saytime uses /dev/audio while play/splay use /dev/dsp, so this may explain thsi difference. but why doesn't /dev/audio work? And why do all the CD players not say a word? As a last note on teh PCI system all works well when using M$. Good sound from the CD. Michael P.S.: Please CC me on replies. -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!

Hardware?
I'm about to buy a new machine and wonder for which hardware to go. It won't be an expensive machine so I consider a cheap 3D AGP graphics card but wonder which one can be used under X.

Re: joe and lynx on a short terminal
Miquel van Smoorenburg writes: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Dale Scheetz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a Data General dumb terminal hooked up to my linux box through a hard wired serial port. The terminal seems to provide 24 lines on the screen. Pine handles this fine, but joe and lynx behave as though there were one more line than there actually is. The behavior is that as you cursor down the screen (in joe), the previous line appears under the cursor as you move. Is there an environment variable that I can set to 24 (or even smaller) that will make joe and lynx handle the screen correctly? Probably a terminfo problem. Your terminal may have auto-wrap (auto-margins) and terminfo says it doesn't, or vice verse. Also make sure that you do have the right terminfo entry: if you set term to linux its terminfo entry says it has 25 lines. joe doesn't use terminfo. It comes with its own (very small) termcap file and uses this. I never had the time to test joe with terminfo support compiled in instead. The upstream author recommends to not use it anyway.
