Hi,

I try to install a Linux-machine as a IP and IPX-Router for a mixed
Ethernet and TokenRing network. The IP-Routing works fine, but the IPX
Routing didn't work. I've configured both cards for IPX and started
ipxd. After a few seconds I can see the found IPX-Networks under
/proc/net/ipx_route and I can mount a Novell-Volume from my Linux
machine, but when I try to access the Novell-Server from a machine
connect via Ethernet it didn't see any Novell Servers.

Is there anyone who has allready succesfully configured a IPX-Router for
Routing from Ethernet to TokenRing?

I am looking for the location of the latest de4x5 driver (including test
versions).  Already looked at the source, but there is no listing for
where an updated driver is located. The one I have in the kernel is
0.543 (1998/12/30) as distributed with RH6.

I thought of this, too, but will samba use the new rm-script? This would work
well if you work locally on the server, but does it work over SMB-network?

Monte Phillips wrote:

 WEll actually you have a good idea IMHO.  Write the script as you say,
 have it mv files to /recycle,  but the way I would do it if I wanted
 it global and automatic is simply rename the script to rm and place it
 in /bin (after renaming the old rm to rm.old or something).  Then all
 you have to do is periodically empty the recycle with the rm.old  in
 fact even that could be automated with chron.

  Are there any tools to do that? Or is there another SMB server with this

Subject: mount -o noac broken in RH6.0
Date: 27 Jul 1999 04:41:40 GMT

We have several RedHat systems ranging from RH5.2 with a 2.0.36 kernel to
RH6.0 with a 2.2.5 kernel.  We use the noac option on all of our nfs mounts
because otherwise it takes way too long for the xfm (or Files) file manager
to update the display when a file is dragged from one window to another.
(And we don't even want to think about the nasty things that happen when you
mix attribute caching with e-mail.)

On our RedHat 5.2 systems things work fine when we set the noac option
in our NFS mounts.  On our RedHat 6.0 systems the noac option seems to
be ignored.  Attributes are cached even with noac set.  We have to
also set actimeo=0 to get things to work correctly on the 6.0 systems.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Subject: Linux UDP ports above 61000
Date: Mon, 03 May 1999 04:14:15 GMT



I recently got the Blackdown 1.2 java release running under Linux Redhat 5.2.
While porting some networking software, I noticed that the high-numbered
UDP port I had picked out of a hat was failing to allocate. A little
experiment later showed that all UDP ports above 61000, all the way up
to 65335, were failing. The same code under Irix and Windows worked in
the upper port numbers (aside from a couple ports that were being used,
probably by ephemeral ports.)

My question: what's up with the UDP port numbers above 61000? Is this
a blackdown problem, something with the way I've got my Linux
machine configured, or what?

The java code (this is off the top of my head, actual code not handy
right now) looks like this:

/**
 * Test program, prints out UDP ports that can't be allocated.
 * Compile: javac ClosedPorts.java
 * Run: java ClosedPorts
 *
 */

import java.net.*;

public class ClosedPorts extends Object
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
  DatagramSocket socket;
  intportNo = 1024;

  while(portNo  65335)
   {
 try
  {
socket = new DatagramSocket(portNo);
socket.close();  // Close down, prevent too many open at once
  }
  catch(SocketException se)
  {
System.out.println("Unable to open socket " + portNo + " " + se);
  }
portNo++;
   }
} // end main

} // end class

Sure.

Make sure you have somewhere in your proftpd.conf file

  I have a problem with a system that sends mail from a machine that uses
  ipfwadm to filter packets. The symptom is that mail to newer sendmail
  instances fails to go through, because the "sendmail can't write" a
  particular welcome line. I can manually simulate the SMTP conversation
  over a telnet connection from my machine but real mail won't budge.
 
  I used tcpdump to sniff packets coming to and from the machine. Here's
  what I saw.
 
  As soon as my machine connects to the remote SMTP server I see the SYN
  packets being exchanged. Then I see a packet from a high port on the
  remote server to the auth port on my machine. Then I see an ICMP packet
  from my machine to the remote machine that says "tcp post auth
  unreachable". If I do the same exercise on a different machine I don't
  see the ICMP packet.
 
  What's potting? Any ideas? If anyone wants I could send a full packet
  dump of that conversation and a similar dump of the same conversation on
  a different machine that works without a hitch.

 You have seen bug/"random feature" of BSD (?).
 It has been described in comp.mail.sendmail postings.

 Quick fix: enable access  to your auth port
 with no auth demon running.
 You will get
 TCP SYNC
 TCP RSET
 instead of
 TCP SYNC
 ICMP unreachable

 On my machine I apply the fix for short time whenever
 I have such problems.

Subject: disabling source routing with token ring
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 14:43:12 +

Hi Folks.

I'm trying to connect a linux box (2.0.35) to a rather large token ring
network and am encountering a few problems.  The network has a number of
3com token ring hubs, which are joined by a 3com 7000 ATM switch.  I can
see all the machines on the local token ring, but none on the other
rings.  An NT box which sits on the same ring can see the whole network.

I've been told by the people in the know, that I need to "disable source
route routing" for the token ring card.  A quick usenet search has
turned up little, source routing hadn't used to work, but does now.  The
source code doesn't make an explicit references to it, and I'm no kernel
hacker.  

Does anyone know how I can disable source routeing for the token ring
card?  

Lee.

Subject: ftp from behind a masquerading router
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 02:36:47 GMT

The ftp "dir" commands hangs when I do ftp from a machine connected to a
masquerading linux router. This happens even if the router allows all access
like this:

/sbin/ipfwadm -I -p accept
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -p accept
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p accept

/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a masquerade  -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0

"dir" does work if I issue it from an ftp session on the router itself.

Will appreciate any clues.
