Subject: IP Aliasing - a more permanent solution?
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 03:23:26 +0800

I am currently running a Web Server which is attached to a rather
strangely configured router - so rather than being able to enter a
direct IP address into the Web Server, I must enter an internal one
which is mapped to the outside world by the router. For some strange
reason, the router doesn't fully map though - I still need to alias the
'real' IP address to the same network card as the internal IP address.

...so I did this the easiest way, using IFCONFIG. However, I find this
is not a very permanent solution, as I can only start this medium on my
'rc.local' file - and so I get the feeling its like a program running
(I know its not - but it feels like that) on top of the system, rather
than a setting embedded into the system. Furthermore, when I run
LINUXCONF and do anything, telling it to activate changes would actually
disable the Aliased setting (presumably it would reset the network
configurations - and the alias is not a permanent setting) and kick me
offline (- and I can't get back on till I physically rerun IFCONFIG on
the server).

Can anyone offer a permanent solution? I have looked through 'linuxconf'
at the 'Alternate Networks' or 'Alternate Hosts' things - but those
don't seem like it, and I don't see other settings for Aliasing either.
Or is there some network configuration file I can edit to make the
changes?

Thanks,
Terence Parker.

Hmm.  Your arguments (and Matts) are quite persuasive.  I don't 
think the books I use are quite this flawed.  I think the info on
how to use templates is in there, but since I'm not using them
heavily, my perspective on their importance is skewed. 

Looks like I've gotten a glimpse into how my use of the language
might evolve over time.  I'm far from being an expert c++ programmer
and the vast majority of my experience is with non OOP languages.

Subject: FTP not working : Connection Refused
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 03:31:09 +0800

For some reason, I am able to use WX-FTP in X Windows to do file
transfers, but when using the console 'FTP' or even a 'LFTP' (something
I installed) I am not able to do anything. When I connect to another
server, and type 'ls' or 'list' - I always get the response:
Can't build data connection: Connection refused

I know there is nothing refusing my access, and that the ftp server on
the other end works (I have used it before). I am using a freshly
installed copy of Red Hat 6 - and the ftp program has not been tweaked
in any way. I have another Red Hat machine running which has no problems
at all with FTPing. However, this machine is on a different network.
Both use internal IP addresses, so I was wondering if this problem could
relate to a strange configuration we have on our router (connection to
the telecom Frame Relay).

Or...is it some problem with Red Hat? What puzzles me is that WX_FTP
works though!
I purchased my CD through Cheapbytes, and I do notice that they do seem

 I now have printing working from the slackware box using the apsfilter.
 I can not get it to print from any of the WinXX boxes tho. I have the
 new Samba-2.0.3 installed and working fine. It runs the login scripts,
 maps drives, etc. I can see and attach to the printer in net'hood, but
 when I go to print, it errors saying access denied.

Greg Check the permissions on the spool directories. Samba writes the file
Greg you're trying to print as the user into whatever spool directory you
Greg tell it to. It then passes it to the local printing system with
Greg whatever command you tell it to use. If the user doesn't have write
Greg access in whatever directory you told it to use. BOOM, access denied.

Specifically, check the "path" in the printers section (or for the
specific printer, if you aren't mapping them all).  Mine (for whatever
reason) is /var/spool/samba/.  One suggestion was to make it rwx-world
with the sticky bit set (which prevents user A from deleting a file
from user B).  If you need to do this, as root do

chmod 1777 /var/spool/samba/

or whatever directory is being used.

I'm using the RH packages for samba (*shrug*), and they frustratingly
don't set up that perm.  Granted, I understand the security
implications, but when I upgraded and didn't know that they changed
this, it took me a while to figure out what had changed.

modi Hi there,
modi I am using 2 network cards on my linux server, one connected to the internet

modi and the other one is a NE2000-pci clone from realtek. Interestingly both the
modi cards share the same irq i.e. irq9.

modi -Will not this be a bottleneck during heavy network activity?
modi -Can I or rather should I allot another irq to one of the cards and if so 
how?

Unless they've gotten the interrupt-sharing thing working (which I
haven't heard about), this is a *bad* thing ... you will at least
confuse the kernel, making your network connections tenuous at best.

Give one a different IRQ.  It's the only solution I'm aware of.

Check /etc/cron.{hourly,daily} and look for inn- scripts ... if you
aren't running INN, there's not reason to have them there.  In fact,
if you aren't running it, why have it installed at all?

BTW: if you are keeping inn installed for future use, you probably
don't want to delete these ... just move them out of the way.  If your
cronjobs are using run-parts, you can rename them to dotfiles (./inn-*
to ./.inn-*) and run-parts won't run them.

The ISP wants PAP or CHAP authentication and you're not set up for either.

You need to configure for PAP or CHAP and perhaps remove the chat
login/password expect/send lines.
