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

If this is the Kermit RPM, there is a small bug, using it on Redhat 5.1
It is looking for a terminfo directory that doesn't exist.
I don't have RedHat available at the moment, but as I recall, you now have
a /usr/share/terminfo, where the package expects /usr/lib/terminfo.
To fix:
cd /usr/share
ln -s terminfo ../lib
After that, it worked fine.
I used /dev/modem as my port, which is linked to an appropriate port,
if a modem is found.

Having trouble setting up RedHat Linux 4.2 on a Sparc to
1. accept remote commands such as rsh.
Whenever a client attempts to execute the rsh or rcp commands
the message "Permission denied" appears.
2. export files to be mounted as NFS mounts.
Whenever, I attempt to remote mount a file exported from the
Linux server the same "Permission denied appears"
I have noticed two things that seem to be missing. First there is no
program like exportfs that is present on other unix systems, although the
file /etc/exports is documented.
Second, the files /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts are not documented in Redhat
Linux. Are they needed, or is the tcp wrappers package sufficient.

Some time ago I observed the same behaviour with a XyLan OmniSwitch.

Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1998 00:55:20 GMT
Hello, everyone!I have a Dell 4300 server at work which has a PCI
EtherExpress Pro100+ installed (not on-board). It is being seen fine and
comes up (on the hub which has 10/100MBpS speed indicators) as 100MBpS.
However, we want it to come up at 10MBpS. I am assuming that the driver
defaults to the highest possible speed. How do I switch it down? Is there
any way at all? The technician at intel said that there might be a command
line switch for the driver, but how and where would I set it? The driver
loads straight from the kernel, not as a module. Please let me know, I am
eternally grateful to all.
Thanks,

Hello,
Running Linux 2.1.132, ppp2.3.3, with ppp support compiled as a module.
I am having trouble configuring PPP so that it works. Right now I am trying
to establish a manual connection (i.e., trying to connect through minicom,
quitting without resetting the modem and running pppd). I first ran into a
problem where ppp compress/decompress are not being loaded when needed.

I'm not the original poster, but the question is valid and deserves an
answer. Unfortunately I don't have one. I have, perhaps, a similar
problem. I don't have a network, just two computers that I'd like to
network. If everything works perfectly that would be great, but Linux
isn't exactly plug and play. It would be nice if it were possible to
just work with one network card and somehow verify whether it's
working properly or not. Through weeks of testing I've come to believe
that Linux is flakey on both machines, but it would still be helpful
if I could isolate one machine at a time for testing.
If you have an available serial port on each machine, pick up a null
modem cable. Pick a class C (private) network address for each
machine -- say 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4. The very last page of the
ppp howto shows the pppd command that needs to be executed on each
machine to initiate the linkup.You can then ftp, telnet, etc at
will between the two machines -- as long as those services are
enabled.
If one of the machines is connected to the Internet, you can install
IP Masquerade (see the mini howto) and use internet resources on
either machine. A serial link is slow, but it is useful and makes for
a good simple learning experiment.
Hope that leads you down a good path.

SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
I have tried MULTIPLE types of cards. What I have in the box now is two
PCI
cards one Intel and one 3com.
Both work if they are the ONLY card in the box. If bothare in the box only
one will work (the intel card)
I've also tried it with two 3 com cards (one pci and one isa) if I do this
only the pcicard works.
Also tried it with two isa cards (only one will work)
THanks.
If the cards are pci, then there SHOULD be a utility supplied by your PC vendor
to set the base addresses and irqs for your cards so they don't conflict. I bet
that they do. Unfortunately, some vendors supply pcs without such configuration
tools.
For example, a Dell P133 (I have one... I know) from 95-96 era does not
supply this pci config software. See Donald Becker's Vortex page located
at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/ for more about that.. As is suggested
there, you CAN swap the cards around in the pci slots. This should
sort out the addresses and irqs for you (worked for me!).
If you have a 3Com509B ISA card, it can be configured by getting the latest
source from Mr. Becker's site (or from a recent vendor distribution?) and
compile the driver code into the kernel (I couldn't make it go compiling the
driver as
a module ... your mileage may vary). I compiled version 1.16 of 3c509.c (see
comment in top of the source file). You will want to follow the instructions
found
at the cesdis.nasa.gov site for this card to set the addl parameters in your
lilo.conf
file that will allow you to set an irq and base address that the intel card IS
NOT
using (and none of your other cards use either).
Good luck.

I have a network in my house with 4 computers attached to it each of

IP masq. The problem we are having is that sometimes one user's

So my question is whether there is a way to limit bandwidth under linux

From: "ali" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Cant Connect to Internet
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1998 03:04:38 +0200
Hi!!
I'm a new linux user and have been trying for days to connect to the
internet without success.
(My configuration information can be found below)
Simply put:
I can dial in to the server but can't successfully establish a ppp
connection. ie. running ifconfig only reports the results from my loopback
device. After Entering my username and password (from minicom) the server
starts a ppp session i think (I see a whole lot of garbage on the screen)
and after a while, minicom reports NO CARRIER and the modem disconnects
I've included in this messege all the information about my configuration
that I could think of.
(Information can be found below)
Any and All help will be appreciated.
Thanks Ali
I'm using Red Hat Linux 5.0 (Kernel 2.0.31) and PPP ver 2.2 and a Microcom
28.8s Deskporte internal modem
I've successfully compiled PPP into my kernel.
I've tried connecting using Minicom and from the command line using the
command
pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDT8453000 CONNECT' /dev/cua3 38400 noipdefault
debug crtscts modem defaultroute
I've tried configuring my system to use PAP as best I could. A list of my
configuration files and their contents can be found below (at the end of the
messege) if it helps

Subject: USR 56K PnP problems in RH 5.2, slow port?
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1998 22:53:45 -0800
I'm having trouble with my USR 56K PnP modem under RH 5.2 (it's not a
winmodem). When I start a connection (with any terminal...ezppp, minicom,
etc.) the modem dials and connects, but the connection is VERY slow. (It
takes several minutes for only 3 lines of text to appear!)
I have the modem in an isa slot. I have BIOS Version: 4S4EB2X0.86A.0009.P03
(from a new intel se440bx-2 motherboard), and "PNP OS" is off. I installed
isapnp and created an isapnp.conf file from the info given by pnpdump. I
suspect the problem is PnP related, but I was wondering if anyone had any
advice? I did a complete RedHat 5.2 install. Do I need any special
packages? Do I have to configure any port speeds or settings? Has anyone
had any similar experiences with a usr PnP modem?
The only thing I can think to do is disable the PnP features of the modem
with the jumper and configure it normally. But, before i do that, here's
what isapnp says:
# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Board 1 has Identity 58 f7 b5 9a a9 70 30 72 56: USR3070 Serial No
4155873961 [checksum 58]
(I also see that at boot time)
Here's my /etc/isapnp.conf...(I made it from pnpdump, and just deleted all
but the first "multiple choices" :
/etc/isapnp.conf

After spending the last two days sifting through the HOWTO, FAQ's etc.
and not finding what I needed, I thought I'd pose the question here.
Has anyone has ever used an SMC NIC named "EZ Card 10/100" with linux?
This is my first time setting up an ethernet interface with linux, so
I'm not entirely sure if I'm on the right path here. There doesn't
appear to be any specific driver module for my card -- there are other
SMC drivers with the snappy "EZ" name in them, but they are ISA/16bit
and not what I need. So I thought that maybe it was a generic chip which
SMC repackaged (ie DEC/Tulip), but I'm not sure how to tell if linux can
see the card. Is there a quick procedure to test if a given driver can
talk to your card?
Thx,

Me too! I have a computer with this card in it and was wondrun how to

Hi everyone.
I have just bought pair of D-Link DFE-530TX 10/100 Adaptor cards.
I thought that D-Link would be ok, as there are several drivers
for their other cards in the kernel distribution. But I tried all
of those, and none can detect my card. Then I tried compiling a
kernel with all the PCI ethernet drivers, and letting them probe
for it. But no luck.
I have tried sending a msg to D-Links's `Free Lifetime

The two biggest chips on the board are labeled DL10030 and DM9101

Where can I find a driver which will work with these cards?

I have set up a small LAN at home. I used an UTP cable with rj45

Linux Redhat 5.1 and another Windows 98. My problem is:
I can't ping the Linux box from the Windows 98 box but i can ping from
my Linux box to my Windows 98 box.
Does anyone know whats the problem?Oh yeah, when i try to run
winipcfg on my Windows 98 box it says can't read IP headers error.
Do u think it's got something to do with my UTP cabling cause I did the
cabling myself or is it just some misconfiguration on the Windows 98
box.
Lastly, the ironic thing is that, I have managed to get samba working.
Therefore, windows 98 box can access Linux partition. what's going on
here?
Please help. Thanks

Date: Fri, 01 Jan 1999 18:45:33 GMT
I'm a newbie to Linux as well as to Networking.
Currently I'm trying to setup a linux server.
I've got a small intranet with ip's in the range 192.168.100.n.
the linux server has the ip 192.168.100.200.
then there is a router connected to the isp via leased line.
it has the ip 192.168.100.100. and does network adress translation.
i've configured it so that all incoming requests are redirected to the
server.
from another computer connected to the internet I can
telnet, smtp, http, ftp the server.
yet now that i want to setup a samba server i've discovered some weird things.
the server does not answer to ping requests, wether from outside nor from the
server itself.
i can't telnet from the server to the server.
when doing a telnet localhost I end up with a connection to the router.
I guess something is really wrong with my configuration.
Maybe someone could point me to some possible errors that I made.
thank you very much.

modem for the incoming data connected via a hub to the server computer.
This works fine with WIN95/98. With Linux running I can PPP via the 28.8

Check my FAq page (www.cablemodemhelp.com). It includes a little security
seciton and a portscan page that you may use to check your machine for
services (www.cablemodemhelp.com/portscan.htm).
BTW: cable operators absolutly hate sendmail (and other mail servers) because
of relay problems. Low traffic web servers (private use) are usually ok. Some
operators just would like you to tell them about it.

Cable Modem suscribers who run on Linux, or any other operation system

For a regular home account, most, if not all CMP's prohibit the use of a
proxy server, and file/www services. (Including IP_masquerading).
Word is, some of these CMP's are hitting these IP's, looking for services,
i.e. , web servers, and FTP, and on a regular basis.
Those of "us" using masquerading might want to do a little house cleaning
before going on line.
Security of your system is another concern, but if anyone has information on
this, please post.

Hello,
I set up a HP Omnibook with RedHat linux 5.2 for a collegue at work
(which is working fine) and now he's bought a 3Com Megahertz 3CCFEM556
Ethernet/Modem (3c574 in driver terms), however I'm having problems
gettting to work (it works fine under windows which is a bitter pill to
swallow).
I got the latest version of pcmcia card manager (3.0.6) and it does note
that the 3c574 just doesn't respond in some cases, but I'd like your
advice as to whether this is the case here or whether I've missed
something out (this is the first time I've done a linux system with
pcmcia).
The card manager build went okay and I set up the network configuration
in the same way as I've always done except for /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
where PCMCIA=yes this time. The messages at boot time seem to suggest
that the card is being detected and the correct driver loaded (the
/etc/log/messages text is included at the end of this post). However I
don't know what to make of the other messages (eg, cs: warning: no high
memory space available!)
Does anyone have any ideas of what is going on here, the messages are
far too cryptic for me? If you need any more info or listings of config
files, please let me know and I'll post them. If you're posting to the
news group please email me also.
Many thanks, Neal.

mars_nwe 0.99.pl13
RH Linux 5.1/2.0.35
It's really a shame, I've come this far in getting mars_nwe to work, only to
learn that it doesn't provide any security (that I noticed anyway). Or
perhaps it does, but I've yet to find any detailed reference to it. I've
tried using SYSCON from a workstation - it SEEMS to work. It lets me set
user's trustee rights in a given directory, or make them part of a group with
such rights. I have the -t flag on the volumes in question. Then I log in as
that user and I get the most unpredictable behavior. Some times it lets them
see files and directories belonging (as SYSCON sees it) to other users, even
created by other users. I don't mean just file scan rights, but full
read/write access. I've tried setting various default create permissions for
each volume, presently using 711 for directories and 600 for files. I've
tried both a root and non- root supervisor. Deleted the bindery and trustee
directories. With groups and without. I haven't even tried security
equivilances, so that's not the problem.
Still, Any user can often see other user's files, read, write, create and
delete them. On more than one occassion, the same user COULD NOT see their
own files! The only reason I need mars_nwe is because the the UGO rights that
Linux provides don't allow me to place a person into more than one group (at
a time) or allow rights to a file by more than one group.
I'm thinking it's time to ditch this program and take a closer look at Samba.
It's more of a pain to do that way, but at least it works. I'd really like to
see this mars_nwe work, but I need some details, and perhaps an explanation
of how this happened so I can avoid security problems in the future. I've
searched USENET and WWW, but I guess I'm using the wrong query, because
nothing useful turns up.
Help?

Now, this is something that I can comment on. The README file that comes
with the 2.0.x Linux kernels suggests using 'make zlilo' instead, since that
will build the compressed image *and* run lilo to update the boot links.
There is, as far as I know, no '%' needed. I have used 'make zlilo' to build
kernels from 2.0.0 to 2.0.36, so I know that it works. I was unaware, however,
that you could inovke multiple targets in one make call, so I have always

You probably know that there are profiles for every user. The default

and change to the directory of the user (default: _default). In this
folder you will see a folder called 'cache' delete its content.
But there is also a history-file (Enter in Adress-field: about:global).
To delete this, simply delete the netscape.hst file in the netscape

Hi. Have a network dominated by that 'other' operating system. How can I
get a linux box to show up in the 'Network Neighborhood' of Windows 95
Windows NT? I have a Pentium on the network running the 2.0.27 kernel of
Redhat. The SMB package was loaded by default on this machine. Do I have
to do something with samba? /etc/exports?
Thanks in advance

Wow, I remember hooking up VT52s to our old network of Sun2s when my
roommates and I started setting up our first home Unix network, ten
years ago. You've got to love a terminal that you can hide a six-pack
inside, and have the system still work.
By the way, use /dev/ttyS3 -- even folks who don't consider the cua*
devices to be evil admit that they're just for callout. A terminal is
more like a modem. The getty should use /dev/ttyS3.
I've found a lot of info on setting up a serial port and modem
for remote dial-in, but not as much with a simple direct connection. I
know I need to use getty to do this, but do I need to edit my inittab
file to set this up at boot time, or can I do this after Linux has come
up?
You can get init to re-read the init file by entering "kill -1 1" as
root. So, you don't have to reboot. This is good for tinkering.
That VT52 mention has gotten me thinking -- it should be possible to
get a really small x86 box and hide it in the VT52's "six-pack
compartment". Re-route the serial cable, set the x86 box up to use
Linux with a serial console, and you'll have a strange, standalone
VT52 that runs Linux. I'll have to go dig one out of storage somewhere...

Looking for a cool HPC, how about this ???
==
I am posting this b/c I like the Linux comm. and want everything to
know something about a piece of equipment I thought was interesting.
It's called the Dauphin DTR-1.
The unofficail Home page is:
http://www.eskimo.com/~toby/dauphin/
This link is hopelessly outdated, but with your help I'd like to
change that.
I'll get to the point.
I can get a hold of a good number of them and know that they will run
linux. Check the URL above for some info. (There is also a version
called HAL something that may work).
I am currently planning on selling these guys on eBay where they have
been going for up to $300. in the past.
My starting price for the DTR-1 and some extras is $150, but I would
go lower if someone was interested in a small quantity.
Here;s what you'd get.
* The DTR-1 a 486SLC 25 HPC/notebook computer 4mb memory, 40mb HD,
2400 Baud fax modem, VGA out port, com port, REAL par. port - will
work with zip drives! (nicer than a palmpilot)
* Detachable mini Keyboard
* Leather Case
* Battery
* A/C adaptor
* Car D/C adaptor
For my Linux friends (I mean that sincerely)
* Extra battery ($50 value)
* External charger
* Grid Hardshell case
What's missing:
*The Active pen (I can't find out where to get them 'cheaply' so if
YOU do let me know).
*The manual
Acces:
Floppy or External HD used to come as access. very hard to get and not
very nec.
Memory upgrade from 4mb to 6mb still avail.

I have a 3com 3c509tp card. It was detected during install and I was able
to configure the NIC. It worked fine and BootP was running with TCP/IP
protocol.
I installed a SoundBlaster Pro and the NIC stopped working. Linux will not
detect the card during bootup and ifconfig doesn't allow me to add the NIC.
Does anybody know how to re-detect a NIC like the installation does?
Linuxconf still has the same settings as before and have not changed. I
have tried removing the sound card and re-booting but it still doesn't
work.
I am stumped... I have tried to manually add the irq and io in linuxconf to
the card's orginal settings.

Hello,
I'm trying to set diald, so that it establish PPP connection to ISP when
someone in intranet need it and hang up when connection is idled.
I've a strange problem: Diald starts dialing approx. every 3 min, even
if nobody requesting URLs from Internet. From debug information I've
found out that diald accepting packets addressed to ISP DNS server.
I can't figure out what process is sending these packets! They come
from my IP number and the port number increases by 2 each time (starting
with 1050), i.e. every next packet, which caused diald to initiate the
connection come from different port. The port number already reached
1600!
I'm running SOCKS on the Linux box, can that be a problem?
Does anyone knows how to make diald to ignore these packets?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello LinuxPeople!
I have a linux box with two network cards in it. It's running RH4.2
and can ping both nets(right word??) that it is connected to. I also
have a cable modem and a win98 machine serving up proxy. The machine
is short on disk space, 2x 116mb hard drives, and ram, 8mb, but runs X
pretty well. If I want it to do IP masq I should read the ipmasq howto
on the rh4.2 cd right? Do I have to recompile the kernel? I ask
because it has no c/c++ compilers on it, they were left off to save
space. The win box is a 350P2 with 64mb ram, would the linux box offer
the same level of performance if it was running ip masquerding? Can IP
masq masquerade between multiple network cards?
1) You should easily be able to get compilers on a box with 232M of
hard drive space.
2) You would probably appreciate another 8M, though, if you start
compiling kernels on it.
3) No problem with multiple ethx interfaces. I've got both a 10Base-T
and a 100Base-T net connected to my masq box.
4) You can basically fit the whole schmeer on a single floppy if you
like. Check out http://www.linuxrouter.org I put together a floppy
that brings up the ISDN line and masq's all the boxes so I could at
least have Internet if the hard drive on the masq box dies. I can
even sub in any other box if the masq box dies.

It sounds like you have got a lot right, but a bit more persistance on
the self help side would have solved your problem. Do a search on
"Linux and PPTP" via www.lycos.com, which will reveal the source of
the kernel patches that you will need when you recompile your kernel
to include PPTP support. (I don't have the URL to hand so search for
yourself).
There are How-To articles on compling the kernel, which explain the
steps, but you will need C++ development tools (make, gcc etc) which
are optional packages with RedHat Linux.

This may not be the complete solution, but it is something to consider.
The first
issue is your vfat32 partition. That is a kernel issue and not RedHat
specific. I
have read that kernel 2.0.36 is able to access a vfat32 partition. I
can't verify
that, but I am using a development kernel 2.1.132 which has no problem
with my
Win98 vfat32 partition. Your problem as I see it, is that the basic
kernel image
you have downloaded isn't set up to handle a vfat32 partition. I know
with your
wining personality you could find someone who can build you a custom
kernel image
with the necessary modules built in so that it can access your vfat32
partition.
Then use windows to download everything you need, to your 7 GB drive.
Oh and you
need loadlin. There's HOWTOs available via HTML on how to use loadlin.
Reboot to a
dos prompt and boot linux from your vfat32 partition using loadlin and
the
customized kernel image. This would get around your ethernet card
problem, until
you have a full Linux system running.
Also I would think you need more then just 2 floppy disks. You would
need the
entire base system on floppys. That way you would have all the basic

mount machine one's hard drive on machine two and link databases from

First of all stock apache is setup to only allow something like 256
simultaneous connections. You can edit the source to allow more users to
log in, you'll have to check the apache docs to find out exactly how to do
this. It's pretty clear and simple.
Second apache has a module that you can build into it to perform mirroring
of web servers. A combonation of that module, and rdist should allow you to
split the load between machines.
Thirdly you are going to want to do some bandwidth calculations to figure
out exactly how many simultanious users you can actually support on your
current connection.
I would say determine if your load is cpu/IO based.
If it is IO, is it Disk or Network?
If Disk, SCSI? RAID? these would be likely options.
If Network, multiple NICs?
I do agree that you would need to do some calculations to determine
where, specifically, your laod is, and how much it is.

I am having problems exporting directories on my Linux box. I am

I've read through the man pages (several times) and I am not having any
luck. The problem is not exporting the file systems, but mapping the
UID/GID. I can't seem to over ride the default all_squash property
which maps all UID's to nobody. I am using entries in my export file
that look like this:
/path(rw,no_root_squash)
/path2host(rw,no_root_squash)
Neither work in regards to UID mapping. I have RW access, but as nobody
that is pretty useless.
By the way, Yes I am restarting mountd and nfsd.
Any ideas?

Something like:

If you hit enter, you just get the same string sent back. Seemingly any

A proxy server is a kind of firewall. I am familiar with Wingate proxy
server, and am just delving into the Linux world, so I can tell you how
Wingate works as a proxy server, which may help you to understand how proxy
servers work, although this is definately not an authoritative response!
A proxy server provides different IP services. It acts as a "go between" one
network, and another: ie: the Internet and your LAN. On your LAN
you have a proxy server that is known to the Internet by some IP address. In
my case, its dynamically doled out from a pool of available IP's from my ISP,
although it's possible to have a permanent "static" IP to the Internet. The
proxy server is setup to listen to different TCP protocols, such as HTTP, FTP,
SOCKS, POP3, SMTP to name a few. On the local side of the network, your
network client has to be "proxy aware" to communicate to the proxy server.
Netscape and Internet Explorer can be setup to connect "directly" to the
Internet, or through a proxy server. If the latter, you need to let Netscape
know the name (or IP address) of your proxy server, and what ports to use for
its available protocols. Usually, with most web browsers,

I am encountering a problem and need help fixing it.
First the particulars of my setup:
Thinkpad 770
3Com 575TX PCMCIA Ethernet card
Redhat Linux 5.1
Kernel upgraded to 2.0.36
Latest PCMCIA package
Connecting to an Ethernet network with a DHCP server somewhere.
The problem: After booting linux, I issue the command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start eth0
as root. Sometimes I get the message that DHCP...failed and
sometimes I get the message that DHCP...OK. In both cases however
it appears that eth0 has been configured and that a default route
appears when I do a netstat -rn. I am able to ping, telnet,
traceroute, do dns lookups, etc. for a couple of minutes. After
approximately 2 to 3 minutes however, network operations fail.
Pings return 100% loss, traceroutes never make the first hop, telnets
hang, and so forth. The network card still looks configured when
I issue an ifconfig eth0. Netstat -rn still returns the necessary
routing information. I am not running any routing daemons (gated or
routed) Stopping the network (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop) and
restarting the network will get the network to work again for another
couple of minutes and then I'm back in the same situation.
TCP/IP works when I boot win95 so I do not believe it is hardware
problem or an external network problem.
I am perplexed as to what to try next. I've read the FAQs, HOWTOs and
other documentation, but perhaps I have overlooked something. I
would appreciate any help or points anyone could provide.
Thanks,
Todd

Make sure that you've got IP aliasing IP forwarding enabled in the
kernel, and you can allocate upto 255 (?) addresses to a card.
eg.
ifconfig eth0 up 195.106.41.1
ifconfig eth0:1 up 195.106.42.1
and then add the routes.

Well, another idea that occurs to me is this. The ISP provides users

USENET messages as a valid reply address. The client software is somehow
smart enough to know that one of the email address is exclusively for
replies from USENET.
The messages in this mailbox are filtered against a list of subject lines
used when posting to newsgroups. This might take up some storage for
prolific authors, but it is only hypothetical anyway. There are other
difficulties, but the biggest is technological -- the software to do this

Of course it is possible, only binaries in /bin and /sbin, and libraries in

decent distribution will do this automatically if put a similar line to the

I guess you would also like to share home directories as well. If so, then
you should also consider using NIS so that user passwords are kept only in
one place. And of course mails should be centralized too. Well, all depending
on your needs, of course.
Few hints I have found useful:
- Put configuration files (and directories) that are common to all clients
in /usr/local/etc (or similar) and on clients make symlinks from

says...
All regular trafic on adsl line
ftpd on @home Cable line
Problem 1.. only one routing table
Problem 2.. @home uses dhcp.. so my ip changes (although P 1
is my main concern)
Let's call your @home interface eth0 and your adsl interface eth1.
You can configure your DHCP client (dhcpcd) to listen on eth0. You can
configure dhcpcd to run a shell script when it successfully gets an IP
address (dhcpcd has a command line option for this: "-c filename").
The following environment variables (amongst others) are set and passed
to the shell script: HOSTNAME, ROUTER, IPADDR, NETMASK and BROADCAST.
So you need a shell script that will set up the routing table that you
want and set the appropriate metric values. By using metric values, you
can set up two default routes to two different gateways (one for @home
and one for adsl) but have one route be preferred over the other. This
way, most traffic will be routed over eth1 (adsl) rather than eth0
(@home). This should solve problem #2.
Of course, the solution to problem #2 routes all of your traffic and
can't be applied to individual protocols. So if somebody makes an ftp
connection to your box via eth0 (@home), will the packets leaving your
machine for his go out over eth1 (adsl)? I suspect that they might. So
you will also need to use ipfwadm to deny outgoing ftp packets on eth1
(adsl, the preferred default route). Since there is a second default
route, the packets should then go out eth0 (@home, the second default
route). This should solve problem #1.
You will probably want to deny incoming ftp traffic on eth1 (adsl) so
that people can only ftp to your machine via eth0 (@home). In fact, you
should probably use ipfwadm to secure your linux box on all the other
ports, leaving open only those services that you need (ftp, http, smtp,
pop, icmp, etc.)
I haven't tried this, but I think that it'll work.
Good luck.

Hi,
I am setting up a linux box as a file server at our school. I installed
RedHat
4.2 which went smooth. I am not able to ping any of our Mac or PC clients.
(Although sometimes I get a response with DUPS and large packet loss) I
installed the networking option and it is enabled. 3COM card was
recognized.
Cabling is fine since our NT is working ok with the same hub and cables,
even
tried changing the cables.
Here is my setup
Linux box IP 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
Clients 192.168.1.2 etc.
gateway 192.168.1.254 (not connected to any other networks, just connected
a
few clients to test so far, no Internet access)
If the gateway is not connected to other networks, and you have
forward_ipv4
enabled then you may have problem.
Please go to your /etc/sysconfig and send us the 'network' file
as well as the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
Try to disable forwarding by editing you /etc/sysconfig/network
and setting
the FORWARD_IPV4=no .
Tried both enable route and disable route
not using DNS yet, just Hosts file.
I read a lot about the plug and play NIC. I didn't disable the PP but I am
assuming that because the install recognized my card and I am able to ping
the card, there is no problems with the I/O or IRQ. Maybe am wrong to
assume this.
The only problem that I can think of, is whether your NIC
defaults (due to
the pnp) to 10base2 port instead of the UTP one. To be sure, why don't you set
it
to non-pnp mode, using the disk provided with the 509b (ensuring that the
10baseT port
is enabled) ?

1) Compile firewalling and masquerading into the kernel (just say "yes"

Where is your default route? Try "route add default ppp0" if you want your
Net traffic to go out the dial up. Switch ppp0 for eth0 if you want Net
traffic to go out the firewall.
You firewall is probably blocking incoming Net stuff for your own good. You
should be able to telnet to the ppp0 address though.
Can you telnet to eth1?

Hello everyone out there!
I'm new to linux and I faced some problems configuring the network. I'm

The loopback network is working very well, but not eth0. I'm using a
NE2000-compatible PCI card with realtek8029-chip, it is correctly
detected, but I can't ping on 192.168.1.1. When I ping the server on
192.168.1.1 from a client, I just receive Host unreachable, when I ping
127.0.0.1 it is reachable!
The 127.0.0.1 that you are pinging (from the client) is not a
server, but
the loopback device of the client (e.g. win95)
So first of all, have you given a valid ip address to the client ?
e.g.
192.168.1.2 since 192.168.1.1 is the address of the serrver.
I saw that in startup there was an error-message, netmask not correct
defined. But it should be correct becuase it is set to 255.255.255.0,
broadcast 192.168.1.255, subnet 192.168.1.0.
Do an ifconfig on the server, and let us know of the results. Your
settings
seem correct, although the 192.168.1.0 is really the network address since you are
not
subnetworking at the moment.
By the way, if you ping 192.168.1.1 from the server, do you get a
valid reply ?
If yes, then the problem most probably is a misconfigured client.

Hello:
I'm setting up a Linux web server, and need to choose a data base

ODBC. I have no other criteria other than the database will
become very large, lots of records, say 200 MB to 1 GB file
size. It also needs to be transferable back to Windows NT in
case the boss says we're moving back to NT.
I've looked at SAL's home page of databases. There are just so
many to choose from. The big commercial guys (Informix, Oracle,

Without rambling on more, I'm interested in whether one of you

that the database/server have quick performance given it will
likely be big, be well documented (I'm coming to Linux from
Windows), and be the Relational type. I don't mind spending big
bucks on it if there are obvious advantages.

I installed the inn-2.1.tar.gz file taken from isc.org recently, it
compiled fine, but when make install ran I didn't get the man pages I
thought.
I tried this using Debian LInux 2.0.
Also, I have created my cycbuff files for inn 2.1 using
dd if=/dev/zero of=filname bs=1k count=100
I created cycbuff entries for each buff
I created metacycbuff entries for 2 metabuffs splitting the cycbuffs in
half.
I got to the point where inncheck didn't complain, and then ran
makehistory -i
it tells me there is a problem initializing the storage manager,
any thoughts.
I have chowned everything to news;News
chmoded files appropriately to 664
made srue /usr/local/news/bin was in the path
pointed patharticles to /home/buffs
set the storageapi to yes and tried also true

ISC sells "support" contracts for $21,000 per year.
Heck if I pay that much I'll pay someone to write it myself.

You are absolutley right. MCI2000, now CWIX, does use CHAP authentication.
At least they did when I was a customer 6 months ago. I wasted an entire day
wrestling with ppp when I had that account. I finally gave up and decided to
call MCI and see what type of authentication they were using,. The first tech
that I spoke to didn't know what PAP or CHAP was, the second one knew they
were using CHAP. Both gave me a big hassle about not supporting Linux.
The thing was, I wasn't askin for any freagin Linux support! ..just some basic
info about how their RAS servers were setup. Guess they don't teach that
stuff in tech support school.
Anyway, edit your chap-secrets file and you'll be good to go. If I remember
correctly, I too was using Ezppp at the time and it worked almost instantly
after I made the corrections.
Good Luck

Maybe your ISP uses PAP or CHAP authentication. Please check my

Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 16:39:30 -0500
I've been fighting with a ppp connection (me and every other user on
this board it seems) under RedHat 5.2 for the last few days. I connect
OK, but then the connection is terribly slow.
Someone suggested that there was a resourcse conflict and they were
absolutlely right. The Motorola 28.8 internal modem was set to use irq4
and so was serial port 1 with is attached to my mouse.
So I jumpered the modem to IRQ3 and then, using "setserial", changed the
/dev/modem file to IRQ3 and the standard I/O for COM2 (0x2f8 I think).
The problem now is that the modem still seems to be responding to IRQ4.
Under control panel, I went into the modem configuration tool and
selected cau1. I was thinking that this was the right setting because
I've configured the modem for COM2.
Under the network configuration tool, I set the modem to "ttyS1".
(/modem and cau1 are not available options).
Now when I try to initiate a connection (using kppp), the modem only
responds to cau0 which I know is set to use IRQ4!
So my question here is, what is the relationship, in this scenario,
between ttyS1, cau1 and /dev/modem? If I use "setserial" to check their
rescources, they're all are using the same settings. If this

So how far have you got? I'm a bit of the same mind as you but I've got
through a few samba networks.
Forgive me if my references to howtos aren't quite correct as I'm drudging
from memory here:
1) Get NIC going - checkout ethernet how to and NET3
2) Make sure IP's going, can you ping your self?
3) Make sure hosts and networks file ok.
4) Setup routing table - Of all the crap I've read on routing the linux
howto is by far the one that made the most sense. It even enabled me to get
the novel routing going which the novel manuals couldn't help me get!
5) Make sure other machine(s) is connected etc and runing TCP/IP and you can
ping each other
6) Get samba package. I've only played with 1.18something. I believe 2 is
out now.
7) Compile and install. With NT there are issues relating to encrypted
passwords. Make sure you read the various files that are included with samba
8) Edit /etc/smb.conf and do lots of reading. This file sets up your shares
among many other things
9) run smbd -D and nmbd -D
10) See if NT can see shared resources
I hope I haven't forgotton any stages. You may have to play with the
smbpasswd file/command.
11) Buy a Mac and install Netatalk, just for kicks ;^)
Hope this helps

Using Redhat 5.2 with samba-1.9.18p10-5. Very few changes to smb.conf.
Thanks for any suggestions!
I had a similar problem with oplock on samba 2.0.0-beta5. I think that
it concern only Win95/Win98, not NT4 clients.
The problem disappears if I diseable oplocks in my smb.conf in the
[global] section (oplocks = False). I don't improve the speed of the SMB
server (30% according to docs/Speed.txt), but I want to be sure that my
PC users don't loose their data when they try to save a file to the

You can try to keep oplocks only on read-only shares...
Before that, I was using 1.9.18p7 and never had this problem.

You should do a make aboot when your kernels are to big.
Or what is better you should make stuff in modules format. about 40% of the
stuff you put in to your kernel aren't used on a regular basis. So modules
keep the system fast. And when you need any you can invoke a insmod an

Hie there,
I am a newbie to Linux and is having difficulty to
configure
my Linux to enable networking.
My system is a 166MMX PC installed with Slackware 3.4
I tried to perform the following to eable networking :
1.did "make config" in the /usr/src/linux directoryafter I have su to
the superuser root.
2.After completing the configuration, proceeded to set the
dependencies
within the kernel and clean out old object modules by typing "make dep"
then
"make clean" after the first one has been completed
3. Next I then compiled the kernel by typing "make zImage"
What bothered me is what I saw in the last few lines of the output at the
end of the compilation which goes as follows
"Root device is (3,2)
Boot sector 512 bytes
Setup is 4336 bytes
System is 560 KB
System is too big
Make [1]:***[zImage] Error 1
Make [1]:Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.0.30/arch/i386/boot'
Make :***[zImage] Error 2 "
4. Install the 'newly compiled kernel' by typing "make
modules_install" . The output then output was that THE FILE REQUIRED IS
MISSING. ( something about *.o)

Oh come off it. This is a bug. Some bugs you can call "features" but
this is definitely a bug.
There is the option -i to select the interface
you want to traceroute from, e.g. traceroute -i eth0 www.netscape.com etc.
I know there is such an option. In the absense of a '-i' option the
correct behaviour would be for traceroute not to select an interface.
The current version picks one at random. Actually it's not random -
it is deterministic, but the fact remains that traceroute selecting an
interface when I did not ask it to do so is a bug.
Your -s 0.0.0.0 solution is valid for unixes which don't offer the -i
option.
And also for ones that do. It may be more keystokes than "-i eth0"
or "-i ppp0" but it has the advantage that you can simply alias
traceroute to "traceroute -s 0.0.0.0" and not have to worry about it
again.

Hey all !

and I couldn't find any clear reference to it in the docs... So here's : I
did setup my PPP connection with the KDE dial-up utility or whatever it's
called. I get connected, I can tell this because a window "connected" with
connection time shows up. But now, whatever networking utility I load
(tried ftp, telnet, cftp, netscape, pine, kde specific stuff...) , when I
try to reach a distant computer I always get an error message telling me
that the host does not exist. So I guess it's a DNS config problem, right ?
I checked the DNS names, they are correct (my provider's), and I know these
DO work because I used to use them when I had Winwhatever_you_call_it.
Any clue for helping me getting online would be GREATLy appreciated...

G'day Phil,
You need to make these users "guest" class users. Here's how:
The crux of the matter is the class of ftp user. In wu-ftp, there are three
classes of user:
- Real User
- Guest User
- Anonymous User
When the real user (default) logs in, they do not get chrooted( ).
When a guest user logs in, they get chrooted( ) to their home directory as
defined in the /etc/passwd file
When an anonymous user attaches, they get chrooted( ) to the ftp daemon's
home directory.
To get an ordinary user to be a guest, you need to put them into a
/etc/group as, say, 'ftpusers'. Like so:
ftpusers::101:nigel,gmcs,ann
They have an entry in /etc/passwd like:
ann:x:511:101::/home/ann:/bin/ftponly
(x...) is replaced by their encrypted passord if not using shadow
passwords. Note the group they belong to.
Then, in /etc/ftpaccess, put stuff like:
class all real,guest,anonymous *
# root is aliased to an admin mailbox by the mail program
email root@localhost
loginfails 5
# The only thing a guest user can't do is chmod
compressyes all
tar yes all
chmod no guest,anonymous
delete no anonymous
overwrite no anonymous
rename no anonymous
# Log all transfers
log transfers anonymous,guest,real inbound,outbound
# This line determines what group is the guest group
guestgroup ftpusers
# You can specify global filespecs to leave alone
noretrieve .qmail .*
# You can also restrict upload to only the home/username/public_html
directory
upload /home/* / no

upload /home/* /bin/* no
upload /home/* /etc no
upload /home/* /etc/* no
upload /home/* /lib no

I'm working on a dialin server. As it stands right now, regardless of which

No, pppd assignes the lowest available number. If there are no active

Naturally, this will cause a
conflict should I have two or more calls at the same time.
No it won't.
What I'd like to do is have ttySx assigned to pppX when the call
comes in. Can someone tell me how I can do this?
AFIAK you can't. The developers of pppd seem to resist requests for
this functionality to be added.
It is possible to create/destroy ppp interfaces at run time?
Yes. This is the default behaviour on recent kernels. (Can't recall
when it changed, 1.3.x I think).
If so, how?
Use pppd.

Hi all. I'm rather new to the world of DNS, so I'd thought I'd ask the
world:
I heard that it is possible to "delegate" DNS resolving, ie:
registering an IP with the ISP in such a way that your server may run
many subdomains on the same IP.
For example:
foo.bar is my domain
grand is my server
grand.foo.bar is registered as 203.3.45.9
I want to set up many apache virtual servers (easy enough to do):
orange, apple, pear, but all to the same IP. But I want to only have to
change something on my computer each time a server goes up or down, but
nothing on the ISP's computer.
Do I use 'named' to handle this type of situation?
Yes, no problem. Just do it - it's all well documented.
Be aware that the DNS system is a distributed cache system, changes
take a finite time to propagate. You can set low TTLs but this is
antisocial.

Thanks already for the suggestions I've gotten on this forum!
Update: I have an Aha! (maybe.) First, re L J Bayuk's advice I tried
pinging and telnetting via IP addresses. I could do that on my machine but
no others (not even the UNIX sitting on my desk.) Thus, it looks like my
loopback IP is all right and perhaps my outgoing configurations, but I
still have no network access.
Re Paul's advice (I haven't tried SuprMath's advice yet), I checked the
hardware settings with ifconfig. My hardware settings were fine; I wasn't
getting nailed with the notorious problem this time. (I unplugged,
waited, and rebooted anyway to make sure.) Now for the Aha: after trying to
ping out to Yahoo and getting no reply, I checked the LEDs on the card.
NONE were lit!!
This changes the problem a little bit. Conceivably, I suppose, my hardware
(card or cable) might have been damaged in the uninstall/reinstall (again,
revenge of NT). Or, perhaps the power resource management isn't sending
juice to the card. Or maybe the driver is old or bad or corrupted and
simply cannot recognize it. Or perhaps there is a little demon gleefully
cackling and rubbing his hands together in delight as he scrambles my card.
I'm not ruling anything out at this point.
Any ideas? Do any of the above sound plausible? Do you know of something
else that might cause/fix this? I'd love to hear responses; until then, I
think I will do a little research into how to recompile a kernel...
Thanks,
Jason Fletcher

His comment is that while login does not allow a remote root login with no
password, ftp does allow a root login with no password. This is what he
is calling the bug in ftpd. It certainly is an inconsistancy between
the two.
It is also true that this bug is minor compared to the bug which allowed
a root user to be entered into passwd without a password.
In a way it is an inconsistancy, but in another way it isn't. The linux
login program has been hacked (if you will) to pay attention to a file
called /etc/securetty (may vary from dstrib to distrib). Wu-ftpd could
not care less about this file, since ftp doesn't open a tty.
It's not a bug, it's a feature. :)

How can I setup IP masquerading to use one or two more PC's? I've got an old

Any ideas?
Would I set the IP of this 486 to 192.168.1.1 or do I use the IP address the
cable company gave me for the ethernet card in my PC? It looks like the
cable modem itself has its own IP address. It looks like the PPP connection
is also given this same IP address. The ethernet card in my PC is assigned a

Try adding K3 to the modem initialization string unless you are sure that

It means that the UART your modem uses needs to be at capabable of keeping
up with the modem speed. For a 28.8+ modem you need a 16550A UART and
an older 16450 with just a 1 byte internal buffer likely won't cut it.
In turn the 16550A is really not fast enough for a 128k ISDN connection.

in certain cases, and (maybe) the presence of the "escape xx" option
in others. These don't seem to fit your circumstances, where a plug-in
replacement modem cures the problem.

Ville Nummela [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I don't think so.. It's much more likely that it's all due the way ppp is
configured. Linux is probably configured to enter account names and
passwords and stuff, and W95 just starts ppp as soons as it gets
connected. With slow-as-hell -servers like the ISPs in Finland use the
difference can be over 10 seconds. Quick test with one of them showed that
if I configure my pppd to start right after "CONNECT" it has a working ppp
connection in about 2 seconds, and if I have chat entering my account name
and password and commands to start ppp on the server side it takes 5-20
seconds. So the magic "trick" is to use the ua-option of pppd..
I use PAP under Linux as well as under Windows, so that should not
give any differences. It seems that most of the time is used for
preparing the modem for dialing, which comes prior to "CONNECT".
BTW:
I did a test with IpRoute under dos - 0.9 seconds. That feels fast.

What about running

and seeing if the default routes have been added? pppsetup does that for
you, or at least it should. I've used it numerous times and had few
problems. If you run it from the console on your box, it should popup the
Ip address given to it by your Isp after 30 seconds or so. If it doesn't,
then try not using PAP and other ways. Can you dial in just fine using
Minicom?

Hello,
I have tried setting up PPP using the pppsetup program that comes with
Slackware 3.6 but no luck. I have all the information from my ISP and I
am
sure that it is correct. (i.e. name server, PAP, etc...)
I checked the syslogd file and it definitely seems that the PPP
connection
is forming (i.e. says "CONNECT - got it." as the documentation states it
should). However, when I try to ping the name servers specified in the
/etc/resolv.conf file, no luck. I have read the PPP-HOWTO but still
could
not get it working.
I would greatly appreciate any help if anyone has any suggestions or

I could imagine that you still have the +++ rule in your modem to go

The +++ is a normal ocurrence in PPP sessions.

I've got a Redhat Linux 5.2 server with several Windows and Linux clients.
The Linux server is connected to the Internet through a modem and the
clients connect to the Internet through IP masquerading. I want the
clients to pretend the server is the company's actual email server, ie,
companyname.com. So they send and receive all email from it, and it sends
and receives to and from the Internet, and doesn't just act as a router.
I'd like to also setup a DNS so when *real* dns requests go to the server,
it goes to the Internet and gets the actual address, EXCEPT for
companyname.com, which I'd like it to intercept and say "oh it's this".
Yet companyname.com actually exists out on the Internet somewhere else.
Then the clients can pickup their mail from companyname.com whether their
computers (and laptops) are connected internally or elsewhere.
So where should I begin looking? I'd like to maybe start with the DNS
setup.
For DNS: http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html
I've done this already and it works very well. It speeds up net access
as well since frequently used sites are looked up internally very
quickly.
For the mail stuff you should use POP mail (see inetd) and fetchmail.
Fetchmail will retrieve mail from the Internet and the POP server will
let your clients access it from your machine. Note that this introduces
some new risks. Since the server will have to poll the Internet for
mail, someone may snoop the passwords knowing when you do this. Sending
mail is no problem. If you allow it to relay (see "man sendmail", then
search for relay) then you canjust specify the Linux box as the clients
SMTP mail host.

If the machines are connected direct, there cannot be any collisions. Two wires
are for transmit and two wires are for receive. This is why you need a crossover
in the wires. So the computers can be connected:
Computer "A" Computer "B"
Xmit ---Rec
Rec---Xmit
There cannot be a collision. One computer the Xmit is connected directly to the
Rec and the Rec is connected directly to the Xmit.
With a Hub, all the Xmit's are connected on the same side, and all the Rec's are
connected on the same side. It's up to the Hub to allow only one Xmit or Rec at
a time between one set of computers. If two sets of computers try to communicate
to the same computer at the same time, there is a possibility of a collision.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I thought a hub simply made the appropriate
electrical connections. That is, to my knowledge, a hub does not
deal with packets, only with electronics. (If it deals with packets
and distributes them to their destinations appropriately, then it
is probably a switch. Granted, one could say "hub" and mean
"switching hub", but in those context (microhubs) that's probably
not the idea.)
So, in my understanding, you're *just* as likely to have packets
collide on a two host network whether or not you have a hub.

The sheer number of messages posted here - usually half going
unanswered - tells the tale ... Linux networking sucks.
Other conclusions can be drawn, like
"Linux networking is more flexible so there are more things to ask
questions about",
or
"Linux networking is different from what new users are used to, and
the Linux community encourages asking questions on Usenet"
Now you can take your Winders, add in file-sharing in just a
couple of minutes, bring up your Winders workstations and
locate and link in within just another few minutes. Easy.
Quick. Relatively painless. Not the Linux way ...
Then why can't Windows 95 OSR2 see my Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B NIC
at all when OS/2 Warp 4, Solaris 2.6, FreeBSD 2.2.7, and various Linux
flavors seem to see it fine?
Perhaps it's painless because it doesn't work. :-)
Now you may try to defend Linux by saying that it has more
"flexibility" - but quite frankly we could do with a lot
less "flexibility" and a lot more simplicity.
I disagree, and I'd like to request that you stop speaking for me...
Now you thought I was just gonna flame ... nope. I've been
relatively polite and realistic here. There are MANY issues
to address, MANY refinements to be made before Linux becomes
a really good option for administrators of small/medium networks.
Yes, if you want to have such networks set up by people without UNIX
networking knowledge. Whether that's a wise idea or not is up to the
entity supplying the boxes and depending on the network, of cource.

Hi!
I've to test the performance in a LAN with let's say 100 workstations.
So the question is: How can I test this - are there any tools available?
The tool should tell me about:
min/average/max transferred KB/S
min/average/max time until a response arrives
...
Of course it would be really nice if the tool could simulate 10/25/50
"typical" users...
Yeah, I know the description above isn't real concrete but please make
suggestions anyway. Thanks.

Now you can take your Winders, add in file-sharing in just a

locate and link in within just another few minutes. Easy.
Quick. Relatively painless. Not the Linux way ...
Oh, really?
I am a Windoze developer by profession. I run Linux at home and for
everything else I do. When I joined the Linux community, I didn't have a
clue about Linux (or Unix in general) except for the limited work I did in
college. I'm still relatively clueless (but getting more knowledgable
everyday). Here's what this clueless person has done with Linux:
1) Developed client/server applications using Borland Delphi C/S and
Interbase for Linux. The resulting application (i.e the Interbase server)
runs 24x7 with 24x7 availability for the clients. This was my first
project.
2) Developing a PERL module to access Interbase directly.
3) Wrote PPP scripts that allowed me to connect to my multiple ISPs.
4) Set my server to as a PPP dialin server. I can now call my machine at
home securely and work on my machine.
5) Reconfigured my dialin server so that I can dialin to my PC AND surf the
internet at the same time.
6) Learning about setting up networks (I have a 3 PC network).
7) Setup and operate and FTP and HTTP server.
8) Share my files on my server with my Windoze clients using SAMBA.
Yeah...Linux networking sucks.
It would be nice if some of the tools were a bit easier to use. But, they

Perhaps I am wrong, but I thought a hub simply made the appropriate
electrical connections. That is, to my knowledge, a hub does not
deal with packets, only with electronics. (If it deals with packets
and distributes them to their destinations appropriately, then it
is probably a switch. Granted, one could say "hub" and mean
"switching hub", but in those context (microhubs) that's probably
not the idea.)
So, in my understanding, you're *just* as likely to have packets

Hmm,
Did it ever occur to you, that the reason it seems so hard is that you
probably don't know what you're doing? Linux just has a higher learning
curve -- but it pays.
I'm not flaming you, because I'm in exactly the same situation, but consider
the _fact_ that as soon as you have a good working understanding of what
you're doing, everything becomes so simple, you wonder how you ever went
wrong...
But unlike Windoze, you'll actually know how it works, not just how to get
it working on only one machine. In one month of use, it still doesn't work
perfectly, but my knowledge has at least doubled, just by using something
non-MS.
Then again, we have to wonder what you're doing on this board in the first
place.
If you don't like Linux, fix it or drop it.
Power, flexibility, extensibility, and _stability_
That would be "The Linux Way", as you (didn't) put it

possible (using the forwarding directive?) but my experience with DNS

AFAIK this is not possible using standard BIND. BIND does not forward
requests for domains for which it considers itself authoratative.
You can, of course, put the DHCP allocated names in a subdomain and
deligate it.
Alternatively use a DNS server that supports dynamic updates and send
it dynamic updates. Eventually dhcpd will be able to do this

I wrote a little shell script for IPChains (found in 2.1 and 2.2 kernels,
also 2.0 with patch).
You can edit firewall rulesets then apply them, disable the firewall,
etc.. It's designed to fit into the FFS (slackware users need not apply),
and the debian init stuff.

Go to the contrib ftp site at redhat or its mirror sites. People have
already solved this problem more than a year ago and were kind enough to
donate the result to ftp://contrib.redhat.com where you can download it.

Its seems strange that a full install of RH 5.1 and a fresh download of

Hey,
I am using Redhat 5.2. I am using the INET service thing. I can't seem to get
telnet and ftp access to my machine. I think its because of the tcp wrappers
not allowing me to connect. So how can I disable the tcp wrappers? Thanx.
P.S. - I shut down inetd and them started in.telnetd manually using the -debug

expect you need to install KDE to use kfm.
and wih KDE rpms, you need to install the packages in correct order you

No you don't. That workaround is quite well documented.
Nevermind that quite a few distros INCLUDE it to begin with.
you sort of hand waved your hands of this little point, did'nt you?
there are core rpms for KDE and then the extra/additional ones.
so it is not as easy as you pretend it is.
Yes it is. You just find it convenient to ignore the
easy answers that are trivial to come acroos.
offcourse a real user friendly system would not put the purdon on the user
to figure the order of those 6 or 7 rpms to install. but offcourse this is
unix. if the things was so seemless with no manual steps involved and no
things the user need to know before hand, then it will a boring system,
and there will be nothing to tinker with.
a real system will be much simpler that what you said.
a real easy to use system will work like this:
You see a "package" or set of packages on the net, to install them, you
drag it/them , and drop it/them, on "my computer".
DONE.
the 'system' will WORRY about everything else.
drag+drop.
that is all what should be needed to do this.
Even I have that and I run neither Gnome or KDE on
a regular basis.
you can even drag a whole collection of packages, and it will still work.
drag+drop.
nothing more.
...and the effect on the system be damned?
That's why opening a whole bunch of files at once
in explorer or even fileman can be such a royal
pain in the ass: no thoughts given to boundary
error condidions, really simply shit.
none of this rpm crap at the user level. burry RPM inside only for those
who want to use it directly.
drag+drop.
learn this concept. it's good for you.
I do it all the time in Unix. I did it all the time
in other OSes long before Windows crawled its way
into existence.
Although, a simple single/doubleclick/context menu
would be rather more appropriate. It requires less
information and manipulation to accomplish. This
kind of thoughtly usability is why Windows is such
a mess.

I have a PPP link set up to disconnect when idle for 10 minutes.
However, it immediately reconnects. How is this decision made?
I want to scheule a connection ABOUT once an hour, that disconnects when
idle. The PPP docs suggest DIP, while anothe document suggests diald.
The PPP people don't want to talk about either, so I have to figure
out how to integrate the packages. It seems a shame, because PPP
ALMOST does what I want it to do.
The setup scripts are convoluted. Can someone give me a pointer on how
to accomplish the task? Or how the scripts are organized?
The README file does a very poor job of explaining the dozens of script
files used.
If I could put a DELAY between the shutdone and the startup, I'd
solve most of my problem. But this isn't documented as far as I can
tell.

Your answers is plain and simple "DONT USE IT", go back to windoze, stop
rubbishing something you know nothing about.
If you take time to actually learn how to do something insead of using
something without reading the instructions like 99% of people in todays
world then you might actually benefit from it.
Keep your rubbish in the windows newsgroup thanks :)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (j)
The sheer number of messages posted here - usually half going
unanswered - tells the tale ... Linux networking sucks.
Now you can take your Winders, add in file-sharing in just a
couple of minutes, bring up your Winders workstations and
locate and link in within just another few minutes. Easy.
Quick. Relatively painless. Not the Linux way ...
Now you may try to defend Linux by saying that it has more
"flexibility" - but quite frankly we could do with a lot
less "flexibility" and a lot more simplicity. I'll bet
that 95% of users just want to tie into a local NT server
or use Linux AS a file/print server for Winders PCs.
I think that "flexibility" is just an excuse - a euphamism
for "a bunch of really unsophisticated little utilities
written with no real plan in mind by people with a fetish
for cryptic poorly-documented command-line parameters and
well-hidden config files". As is, Linux is a user-UNfriendly
mirror of MSDOS - and that goes double for "connectivity" issues.
Want cheap PC networking connectivity ? One "L" word comes
to mind and it's NOT "Linux" - try "LanTastic" instead.
Now Linux IS relatively compact and fast and DOES get past
some of the old buggaboos inherent to DOS-derived systems,
but Linux just isn't "ripe" yet. It needs DUN boxes and
"Network" panels which HELP you with things and show all
the pertinent options and conflicts right there.
Someone could make a LOT of money if they could put together
a turn-key Linux-based file/print server package which could
autoconfigure most things and be really easy and helpful on
the rest. Something you take out of the box and 20 minutes
later you have a good working server. You can do that with
Winders, but not with Linux unless you apparently have put
in a tremendous number of obsessive hours.
Now you thought I was just gonna flame ... nope. I've been
relatively polite and realistic here. There are MANY issues
to address, MANY refinements to be made before Linux becomes
a really good option for administrators of small/medium networks.
As much as I dislike Winders, it's a positive relief to boot
back into it after fooling around for hours in vain with Linux.
Preferring Winders to ANYTHING ... IMHO that's a pretty severe
indictment. Linux has been badly over-sold. If it weren't so
cheap it would be a rip-off ... a hobby OS masquerading as
the "real deal".

You can detect these with a number of programs. Try tripwire (the free

I've been using diald on RH5.1 for about 5 months now and have it
basically working pretty well. However, I seem to have one recurring
problem that I can't quite get solved. There seems to be instances
that cause the link to stay up that I can't explain.
I tracked down an earlier situation that seemed to be caused by not
running 'routed'. By running 'routed', the diald standard.filter
rules were reliably able to ignore 'route' requests. Now it appears
that if I use a browser (NS4.5) I continue to see 'http' requests from
a remote address *to* my address even after I exit the browser.
Incidentally, this doesn't seem to happen if I use a browser on a
Windows machine that uses the Linux box as a gateway. I haven't been
able to find a specific site that will cause this. I usually just
fire up Netscape and hit a couple of Yahoo categories, DejaNews, and
the Netscape homepage. Then I exit the browser and watch the output
of 'tcpdump' and /var/log/messages (with diald debugging level 31).
I'm also using 'named' as a caching nameserver and will occasionally
see ongoing ".domain" requests even after exiting the browser. They
don't seem to keep the link up, however, without some other rule match
(like tcp or www packets).
Any help on interpreting the output of 'tcpdump' and/or the diald
debugging output would be greatly appreciated.
Firstly, look at the /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter and see what rules
you have and configure them for your settings. Secondly, NS 4.5
occasionally leaves a stale process around after exiting that makes
these requests (this is a bug that I hope gets fixed :) ). If you see
the problem recurr, do a "ps" to see if the stale netscape(s) are
there. Usually they are in parentheses. Just kill them.

system: RedHat 5.1
I run a network server for serveral purposes.
When I try to connect on serveral ports, eg. 80 and 110 the server delays
for about 3 seconds up to 10 seconds:
$ telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Connected xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Escape character is '^]'.
~~~
Then the port is open and there is no problem with connectivity. The host is
running with serveral
virtual IPs, the machine from I connect is known to DNS and "/etc/hosts".
I think this is a matter of "tcpd", but I don't how to trace/debug his
doings and where it lacks?

Unfortunately, a lot of those $3 disks also install Sendmail 8.8
configured as an open relay. Red Hat 5.1 is one such product.
Word hasn't gotten out as widely about this problem.
Older Sun and SGI boxes have the same problem. People are "retiring"
them to DNS and leaving the broken Sendmails running.
This is not such a bad thing. When the spammers find them, they'll go
in ORBS. The site will be notified, but their *real* mail server (and
therefore their mail service) will have been unaffected.

Best guess at this point would be to replace the chat expect/send
CONNECT '' (or CONNECT "" with CONNECT \\c. This might have
to be CONNECT "\\c" depending on how the script is implemented and
read. Instead of the send (^M) above you should get send () since
the carriage return is suppressed.
Yes, this is a common problem, and one that is solved trivially
by minicom. You can connect by hand, so do it, and record
the responses and order of responses sent by your ISP.
Some send "Username: "
Some send "Login: "
...
Then go to the chat script (I believe it is ppp-on-dialer)
and verify that the chat uses the correct strings.
Then you ought to be okelly-dokelly.
Make sure resolv.conf is set also.
If minicom works, then it's not of family winmodem.
Good point.

OK, I am going to take the plunge into ISDN land. I want to be able to
set up my Linux (2.0.30) box to have a connection to my ISP through a
3COM ImpactIQ external TA (connected to a on-board serial port), and use
the linux box as a WEB server, POP 3 server, as well as a masquerading
box for a couple of other Windoze machines connected to it through
ETHERNET. I am also planning to use the 3COM TA to provide my voice
lines in the house. I was going to use a PIPELINE 75, but my ISP that I
plan to use recommended against it saying that they use 3COM equipment
and they have had not to good results with the Ascend stuff. Anyway,
after reading several posts on this NG, I have come to the conclusion
that getting the 3COM unit to work with Linux using mlppp is somewhat
iffy. I would appreciate any advice, criticism, help, whatever, about
doing this from people who have experience doing this with the
aforementioned stuff. If anyone can point me to any good documentation,
that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

In that mode, pppd uses the following option file:

Now, if I run 'ppp-go -d', pppd complains about an unknown command
'demand' - and probably rightfully so, since this option is not
mentioned in the pppd documentation. Is there a newer version of pppd
that would support this option. Or am I completely on the wrong track?
Should I just forget it and try to set up diald?

I have to right click on network neighbourhood and use find computer to find

If it just web browsing, just set the options in Netscape to use a proxy
server and set for the appropriate ip and port. Telnet and other protocols
would be trickier. Ideally, you should be using the linux box as a gateway
with ip forwarding. There's more security and stability.

Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 23:14:34 GMT
Hi:
I was wondering if it is possible to access the network with the Palm
III via the serial interface on the HotSync Cradle. I have tried out
the "Palm Redirector" program, but it doesn't quite do what I want.
Here is what would be the optimum solution:
Connect cradle to serial port of Linux system.
Run PPP over serial link and provide transparent routed internet access
(which the machine is already doing for several ethernet workstations)
I have also been able to create a link like this via a null-modem cable
between two Linux PC's. I have (so far) been able to get the Palm III
to act as a serial terminal onto one of the Linux PC's, which is what
leads me to believe it's possible to run PPP over the link. In fact, I
*know* it is possible -- the big question is what software do I need on
the Palm III to do a direct link with PPP?
Basically it would work just like the dialup access which I have already
been able to use, only it would eliminate the actual modem interfacing.

Hi. I have a working diald setup on a Debian2.0

are logged when the link comes down. These are

I changed a parameter to make it 10 seconds between

this line, which makes you wait 10 seconds before
dialing a new connection?
Diald has been working for about two weeks with no

something is not right.
Any suggestions?

I have a question.. I am going to help a friend of mine setup a
group of computers up on the internet through a dsl line. Basicaly the
business is getting 5 IP address's.. To put simply going to use those 5
for teh machines that will actualy be running web server and so on... on
the internet. But there is 3 other computers that are just going to be
web browsing and the cost of adding more IP address's basicaly doubles
are monthly cost. So we do not want to do that, on a very low budget.
So I was wondering can I use IP Masquerading to share the internet along
with using the linux box as the gateway? I have my linux system at home
running ip masquerade with my dsl line works great. But not sure if I
can have it as a gateway to the machines with true Internet address's
and Masquerading at the same time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Edwin
If you're using SuSE 5.3, This has ISDN support out of the box,
so you don't need to compile the kernel all you need to do is start YaST
and add your card,
and ppp interface under network settings.
do a reboot and run: isdnctrl dial ippp0, then ping your provider.
don't forget to add your providers name server ip under /etc/hosts or every
time you boot isdn will dial out to resolve the name servers ip address.
good luck..
If you run into problems drop me a line... andyr@(nospam)itab-net.com

Hi linux-users!
I'm quite new to Linux and certainly no expert of TCP/IP and so on.
I've learned a lot the past couple of days, but now I'm really stuck.
So, probably I'm about to ask a FAQ, but I can't find the information
I need on dejanews, nor in the Linux faq, HOWTO's etcetera.
Here it goes:
a- I like to send and receive email on my linux box.
b- I have Red Hat 5.1; sendmail, procmail, fetchmail installed.
c- I have an ISP with a pop3 server, ppp connection working.
So far I can contact the pop3 server of my ISP (using fetchmail), but cannot
establish a SMTP connection between the pop3 server of the ISP and my linux
box, to transfer the mail to my computer.
The questions that arise:
1) I get a dynamic IP number: what should I choose as a hostname?
(If I choose 'somename' as hostname, and do a "nslookup
somename.my.isp.domain" from another host (with fixed internet connection)
it cannot find it. Does this mean that the hostname I chose doesn't
have any meaning whatsoever?). If I do 'nslookup my-dynamic-ip-nr'
I get some cryptic name, not related to the hostname I chose.
2) How should I 'activate' port 25 on my linux box for accepting mail by SMTP?
(Should I do that in the first place?) (for instance my /etc/host.deny
says "ALL: ALL", does that mean that I do not accept 'connections' on
port 25?)
3) Should I run sendmail as a daemon to accept incoming SMTP traffic at
port 25? How to do that on a RedHat installation?
4) How do I tell (through fetchmail) that the pop3 server should
send my mail to my humble linux box. Probably something different
than my chosen hostname as mentioned in point 1 above.? If I use
the name found by 'nslookup my-dynamic-internet-ip-nr' it does not
work either. Should that normally work?
5) If I specify the ISP's domain name (e.g. by RedHat's netcfg-tool) it
shows up in /etc/resolv.conf (in the line "search my.isp.name").
However, if I send mail to a non-local email adress in the 'From'
field only 'user@somename' shows up, so not a FQDN.
Making a /etc/mailname file with the ISP domain name (as sugessted
in the ISP-hookup-HOWTO) didn't change this.
6) How can I (using sendmail) have my email adress at my ISP in the
'From' and 'Reply-to' fields of my sent emails, so that recipients
can easily reply. (instead of the 'user@somename' as mentioned under
number 5).
Thanks in advance for any help! Please send copy of the usenet replies to:
"joost . willemen @ rt . bosch . de" (please remove the whitespaces
inbetween). (I don't have a usenet client installed yet. Probably next
questions).

In that mode, pppd uses the following option file:
pppd 2.3.5 (which you will need to upgrade to in any case if/whenever you go to

You really need to post the full pppd script, the full chat script(s),
and the chat messages in /var/log/messages as well as the pppd and
kernel versions. The scripts and messages should be duplicates
of the originals, extracted with an editor or other program.
For help with a problem after you successfully dial out you will also
need to use the PPP "debug" option and post the PPP negotiation messages
that are in /var/log/debug as well as the form of any PAP or CHAP
secrets file.
The particular file for these messages varies with the distribution so
you may have to look around in /etc/log for the right one. Sometimes you
may have to configure /etc/syslog.conf to get the messages sent to a file,
"man syslog.conf" can help if this needs to be done.
The timestamps of the messages sometimes provide a clue as to the cause
of the problem and should be included with the messages.

Try setting it to jumperless at irq=10, io=300 and reserve those in your
bios for "isa legacy devices" . This will prevent anything from jumping on
it. I've had some problems in the past with funky ISA PNP cards.

Christian G. Allred wrote in message 78du34$b1t$[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
I have an ISA PnP ethernet card which up 'till a little while ago
was working in Linux, but no longer does so. I don't know what may
have changed to cause it to stop, but it won't work.
Although the card works just fine under Windows 98 (gets IP via DHCP,
can telnet, ftp, play StarCraft etc. just fine), under Linux it causes
the driver to output errors to the kernel, whether using dhcpcd or static
addresses. The errors are "ARP: called for own IP" (or similar), followed
by "eth0: Tx timed out. Lost interrupt? TSR=number ISR=number
t=number". This error I know comes from
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/8390.c
but I don't know what's causing it. The card gets properly configured
with isapnp, and the driver is loaded with the right io and irq. In fact,
the problem exists even if the card is set with jumpers.
So why does it work in Winblows 98 and not Linux? Any clues?
Email replies would be appreciated, though any help would be great.

I am running a redhat 5.2 on a fast intel box. It has two network
interfaces one is configured for the default network(eth0) and one is not
configured(eth1).
I wanted to use it as a sniffer so connected eth1 to a span port and
turned it on.
ifconfig eth1 up promisc -arp
This caused two problems.
1. The computer could no longer compunicate with computers on the local
network.
2. The computer would answer all pings he heard on eth1 thorugh the
configued eth0 regardless of who they were destined for.
arp showed that he was seeing correct arp entries for all the local
computers, and route showed that he had the correct entires.
This was not a problem under redhat 5.1, so I was thinking about
downgrading. Any Suggestions?

I use Linux to read mail from our MS Exchange server. First I had to convince

part). Then I just pointed Netscape's Mail client to the exchange server and
it worked.
Exchange also does POP3, but I wanted IMAP4. There are even more client-side

The NIC is an NE2000 clone.

The Samba package is installed, but the Network behaves funny.
On booting up I can ping in both directions with proper communication. The

The pings dont work also. Am I missing something important?

If what you are trying to do is to have two cards with an unique ip and

If you just want your configured connected to multiple networks, you

I've been using IPFWADM for quite awhile. Are there any good books or

I found /usr/doc/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO to be pretty good, and ultimately
quite accurate. The problem is that you sort of need to know a lot about
the
various protocols that might traverse the firewall in order to set things
up
to accommodate all of them. Failing a thorough reading of about 6 of the
O'Reilly
books, I can recommend a little experimentation to find out how to get each
of
these things running right.
I try using the -o switch, and it does not work. Is there a config
setting I
have missed? Also, where do these packets get sent to which output log?
I
can't seem to locate which file does contain the logged packets.
If you haven't found the file /var/log/messages (on RedHat, at least), then
I'm not
sure what "... and it does not work" means. This file is where my system
puts
all those messages. A pointer to it is in /etc/syslog.conf (the line that
says
what to do with *.info entries).
Once you find these logging entries, you can then use this facility to find
out
what ports are needed by various protocols. The basic scheme is that when
some protocol doesn't work, you turn on logging for all packets

Now you can take your Winders, add in file-sharing in just a
couple of minutes, bring up your Winders workstations and
locate and link in within just another few minutes. Easy.
Quick. Relatively painless. Not the Linux way ...
Now you may try to defend Linux by saying that it has more
"flexibility" - but quite frankly we could do with a lot
less "flexibility" and a lot more simplicity. I'll bet
that 95% of users just want to tie into a local NT server
or use Linux AS a file/print server for Winders PCs.
I think that "flexibility" is just an excuse - a euphamism
for "a bunch of really unsophisticated little utilities
written with no real plan in mind by people with a fetish
for cryptic poorly-documented command-line parameters and
well-hidden config files". As is, Linux is a user-UNfriendly
mirror of MSDOS - and that goes double for "connectivity" issues.
Want cheap PC networking connectivity ? One "L" word comes
to mind and it's NOT "Linux" - try "LanTastic" instead.
Now Linux IS relatively compact and fast and DOES get past
some of the old buggaboos inherent to DOS-derived systems,
but Linux just isn't "ripe" yet. It needs DUN boxes and
"Network" panels which HELP you with things and show all
the pertinent options and conflicts right there.
Someone could make a LOT of money if they could put together
a turn-key Linux-based file/print server package which could
autoconfigure most things and be really easy and helpful on
the rest. Something you take out of the box and 20 minutes
later you have a good working server. You can do that with
Winders, but not with Linux unless you apparently have put
in a tremendous number of obsessive hours.
Now you thought I was just gonna flame ... nope. I've been
relatively polite and realistic here. There are MANY issues
to address, MANY refinements to be made before Linux becomes
a really good option for administrators of small/medium networks.
As much as I dislike Winders, it's a positive relief to boot
back into it after fooling around for hours in vain with Linux.
Preferring Winders to ANYTHING ... IMHO that's a pretty severe
indictment. Linux has been badly over-sold. If it weren't so
cheap it would be a rip-off ... a hobby OS masquerading as
the "real deal".

Netneeting dosent work with a linux firewall
Dave T [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
Hi,
I have linux up and running as a firewall, but can I get netmeeting
to work through this firewall? I cannot! I suspect it has something to
do with the ports used, and the fact that the firewall is blocking
these ports. The ports used are :
TCP: 389,522,1503,1720,1731 and 1024:65535(dynamic)
UDP 1024:65535(dynamic)
Does anyone have Netmeeting working through a linux firewall? If they
do, could I get a sneak peak at your firewall script? (I know this is
asking a lot, forgive me) Or even just some pointers. I've read all of
the FAQ, HOWTO's etc, and I've bought a couple of Linux books, but I
still dont get it. I guess I'm just plain thick!
Many thanks for any assistance rendered..

Subject: need help setting up realaudio IP masquerading
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 00:21:59 -0800
Ok,
So I have two linux boxes. One's directly connected to the net via DSL.
This machine has IP masquerading set up for the second machine. The
second machine is doing fine with connecting to the Internet, *except*
for real audio. The realplayer on the second machine cannot play
networked real audio files. When I try, it says it's "buffering 20.0 k
file" but never gets beyond that. A look at Preferences-Statistics
shows that nothing is getting through the network to the player. It can
play the local "welcome.rm" file with no problem, though.
From what I read on the real audio firewall pages, the realaudio
protocol uses UDP port 7070 to send data from the client to the server.
So my question is, how do I modify my IP masquerading so that this
machine can send and receive at the proper ports? I tried doing on the
first machine : insmod ip_masq_raudio ports=7070
which *seems* to have worked, (no feedback from the shell), but no
improvement on the second machine's ability to play remote realaudio
files.
Thanks for any insight, HOWTO references, etc...

Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 01:10:21 GMT
I am setting up a DHCP server on Redhat 5.1 running
ISC DHCPD V2-BETA-1-PATCHLEVEL-6
Our network has a router that seperates our class C ip address in to 4
segments.
The subnetting of each segment occurs every so many IP numbers, fo example:
xxx.xxx.xxx.32 is segment A with a mask of 255.255.255.224
The port for that router segment is xxx.xxx.xxx.33 (i.e. the client's gateway
for that subnet).
and so on.
I set-up the linux server on segment A, and configured a couple of clients to
test it. They have no problems getting IP addresses and info from the server.
But when I have a machine, on say segment C of the router, it doesn't work.
my dhcpd.conf looks like so:
default-lease-time 1000;
max-lease-time 3000;
option domain-name-servers 38.9.215.2, 38.9.225.2;
option domain-name "foobar.com";

When monitoring the server in debug mode I notice it seems to only be

PPP0 wants to use it so it will work. Do a route and you can see
it.
It is your network device and it is our gateway to the internet.
Do

I've been fighting this problem for a while (admitted longer than I should

I got as far as compiling ppp-2.3.5 from

The ppp install program is broken so the new ppp.c code does not get
installed
and kernel comp fails. You will need to do this:
Thanks to Clifford Kite for this one:-
***
The ppp-2.3.5 package has a couple of problems with kernels 2.0.34 to
2.0.36 . One is that the ppp-2.3.5/linux/ppp.c isn't copied to the kernel
source tree during the "make kernel" phase of ppp-2.3.5 installation.
The other is a bug in a section of ppp.c that detects the kernel version
and selects kernel-dependent code.
A solution is to fix the versioning code in ppp-2.3.5/linux/ppp.c and
then copy it to /usr/src/linux/drivers/net, overwriting the older ppp.c
there.
Look for this code beginning at line 3079 in ppp-2.3.5/linux/ppp.c and
change the to = . Copy this ppp.c to /usr/src/linux/drivers/net and
recompile the kernel.
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE VERSION(2,1,86)
#define FREE_SKB(skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb)
#else
#define FREE_SKB(skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb, FREE_WRITE)
#endif
NOTE: This problem goes away with 2.1.131+ kernels.
Once I did this the kernel compiled and Linux rebooting with PPP (demand
dialing)
installed.
It works in so much as you run pppd with the demand option (and all your
other options) but
it only uses the connect parameter when it detects IP traffic on the
interface.
I couldn't figure out though how to filter and how to drop the line again

Simple you think... Well, I had everything installed I could see my ISP

up DNS and BIND so that the Linux box was it's own primary name server for
our domain, everything went great (well, after reading O'Reilly DNS and BIND

wonderfully lastnight, All I had to do was wait for our ISP to get off their
ass and edit their DNS entries for our domain to point to the appropriate
places. Then I noticed something strange. When I was logged in as root, I
had total network access, but If I logged in as any other user I lost
network connection (outside my domain, I could still ping hosts on our LAN,
but all outside networks were unreachable). No big deal, I figured I would
figure it out later. Now today, for some strange reason it does it for root
too. For the first couple of minutes after I would reboot and login as root
I had internet access and could ping my nameserver, but if I tried pinging
anywhere else I got a "Network is unreachable" error. Then if I tried
pinging my nameserver again it too gave the "Network is unreachable" error.

I have a question...
We run a little NT LAN at home, and have recently aquired another machine,
which is running Linux, which we would love to have on the LAN, but
somehow,
it just doesn't want to co-operate. I can telnet into the Linux machine
from
one of the NT machines, but that is about it. Is it possible for us to get
the Linux machine to actively participate in the rest of our domain, or
will
it remain an outcast for ever?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for helping me setting up my small 2 computer LAN.
Thanks to your advice, the computers can ping each other. The Proxy can ping
the client and the client can ping the proxy no problem. I set up netscape
to connect via proxy will all the numbers set correctly (192.168.0.1 port
80)
The problem is that when I go in netscape to browse somehere I get the
following error:
SOCKET ERROR 10049
what does that mean? strange no? How can I correct this?
Client is a RedHat 5.2 Linux
Proxy is a win98 under wingate

Hallo Networker !
Kann mir jemand verraten, wie man OutlookExpress unter NT 4.0 dazu bringt
auf dem SuSE 6.0 die
Inbox /usr/spool/mail/user zu löschen ?
Ich kann die Mails mit OutlookExpress nur mit einem roten Kreuz für
"gelöscht" versehen.
Wirklich löschen geht irgendwie nicht. Das geht nur auf dem Linux mit "rm

Vorher habe ich POP3 benutzt. Das ging gut. Aber ich würde gern die Mail auf
dem Linux lagern.
Nur so für den Fall, daß Herr Gates mal wieder irgendwelche Formate ändert.

Help! I got my modem to dial my ISP but that's about it. I can't seem to

Looks OK. Don't think you need the search directive.
Connect:ppp0---/dev/modem
local IP address ###.###.###.###
Remote IP address ###.###.###.###
Everything seemed good. Once connected, I tried to ping the DNS (specified
in /etc/resolv.conf) both by IP and my host. Neither one worked. It just
hung. Do I need to set my default route in my routing
table? Did I enter the nameserver incorrectly or did I enter it in the
wrong file? Please email and thanks in advance.
That's exactly right. You need to set the default route to the remote IP
address.
Try this command, "traceroute -n xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"and see where your
machine wants to send the packets.
Hope this helps,

That is a lot of collisions...far too many for only 2 stations on a small
hub. One thing to take a look at is the duplex settings on the network
cards. I had a similar problem on a much larger network recently, where it
turned out that the switch I was uplinking to was set to full-duplex and my
hub, and later switch, were only set to half. I had about a 5% collision
rate.
Good Luck

Hello,
I have some questions/problems with my RedHat 5.2 / Samba 1.9.18 /
netatalk 1.42 configuration:
1) I have a folder "secret". I manage the access to this volume for the
PC clients via /etc/group and the smb.conf file. Only the group SECRET
has RW-permissions to this folder. This works fine. A MAC client has a
.AppleVolumes file in his home directory with an entry for this volume.
But he has no W-permissions, because netatalk sees only his dafault
group (i.e. USERS). How can I change this?
2) If I copy very large files (15 MB) from a Linux box to a local disk
of a MAC, the MAC kills the connection to the Linuxserver after a long
time. Is there a solution for this timeout problem?
Thanks

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

On my machine I apply the fix for short time whenever

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.

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

The mac keeps crashing when it tries to print. It doesn't look like anything
ever gets injected into the print spool. I'd really appreciate any advice
anyone could offer me on this.

I have a network of Windoze and Linux Boxes, and am trying to migrate
all the windows stuff to Linux.
So far proxy stuff, dialup server and dial in server has moved. I am

The problem is that even if I use proxyarp with eth0 as local IP for=20

though it is in wins.dat.
My solution was to use the same machine name and login name for the=20

/etc/lmhosts. Then samba could find the remote and address it=20

This was much easier for a modem hung on a Cisco router. All I had to=20

Please help, it's getting a little frustrating and I'm about to give up.
I tired of trying to decipher the endless trail of FAQ's and HOWTO's and
mini-HOWTO's and man pages.
I recently posted with the exact same problem under 5.1. The modem
would dial out and then hang up after 20-30 seconds. When I changed the
IRQ of the modem from 4 to 5 (this is where it was in Windows which did
not have the hang-up problem) the modem began to respond to AT commands
much faster. I haven't had the chance to verify that this is why the
modem was hanging up but my theory is that the misconfigured IRQ was
causing the modem buffer to fill up and then the thing simply gave up
and dropped the link. Why it worked *at all* on the wrong IRQ is still
puzzling. Hope this helps even though the original message I posted
seems to have been aged out. - Greg
BTW - the command to change IRQ
"setserial /dev/your.modem.device irq arg" - as root.

In article 78oifu$660$[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
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.

I manage several firewalls at different locations on the Internet. The hosts that
are most commonly attacked are those that run name or web servers. My name and
web servers are probed several times a day the other hosts are rarely touched.
On Linux it's important to run ipfwadm AND log all the denied traffic.
Here is a sample of a setup I did on a cable modem:
http://www.pasadena.net/linux/linuxsecure.html
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I beleive that most of the netbios name (udp 137)
traffic you see is a result of MS Windows doing a netbios name lookup on your
host.

I am setting up a DHCP server on Redhat 5.1 running
ISC DHCPD V2-BETA-1-PATCHLEVEL-6
I'm using the same version so maybe I can help.
Our network has a router that seperates our class C ip address in to 4
segments.
The subnetting of each segment occurs every so many IP numbers, fo example:
xxx.xxx.xxx.32 is segment A with a mask of 255.255.255.224
The port for that router segment is xxx.xxx.xxx.33 (i.e. the client's gateway
for that subnet).
and so on.
I set-up the linux server on segment A, and configured a couple of clients to
test it. They have no problems getting IP addresses and info from the server.
But when I have a machine, on say segment C of the router, it doesn't work.
[conf file snipped]
When monitoring the server in debug mode I notice it seems to only be
listening to it's own subnet and none of the others.
DHCP cannot cross a router without help. This is inherent in the
protocol. You need to configure your router to pass the DHCP packets to
your server. If that is not practical, then set up a DHCP-relay agent on
each of the subnets you are serving. See "man dhcrelay" for help on
setting up a relay agent

What's missing is a posibility to use winfax with my notebook

I thought if there was program for win9x and linux that
tunnels a comm-port over the network, why shouldn't it work ?
It would look like that there is a virtual comm port on the notebook,
say com5 or whatever, that transmits any i/o data over tcp/ip to a
daemon listening on the linux machine. There again the data is
forwarded to the real comm port with the modem connected - sounds
reasonable, no ?
Thanks for any suggestions on how to realize this idea.
Look into HylaFax. It is a faxing server for Linux that allows remote
connections. There is a Windows 9x client for Hylafax too. It just
shows up as a normal printer under windows.

It's not that hard to compile a kernel. There is no advantage with

Well upgrading your distribution to accept the new kernel would be done for

Are you saying Redhat is a more user friendly distribution ?
than Caldera, so that would make Red hat easier that opening a box

so just how easy is Red hat over Caldera, this will be a good topic.

In article 78pa72$amo$[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
Hi !
I Finally got my two network cards working. Thanx for the help so far. But
now on to the real work.
I'll try to explain once more my goals.
I have a Linux box with two NIC's.
First is a PCNet32 card (10mbit) with IP 192.168.1.1.
Second is a 3c905B (100mbit) with IP 192.168.2.1.
as you can see I would like two have two segments, a 10 mbit and a 100 mbit.
Here comes the big questions:
-what do I have to do to make that all PC's (all win95) connected in the
10mbit area (network 192.168.1.0) can browse the network neighbourhood so
that they can 'see' all PC's in the 100 mbit area (network 192.168.2.0)
Note that I need to do file sharing accross the two networks, so a ping is
not enough, I need to be able to resolve the computer names and shares.
Well that's it for now, If you can help me in some way PLEASE do not
hesitate. I really need it :)

Wouter
(oh for personal reply's you can reach me at [EMAIL PROTECTED])
This is more of a comp.os.ms-windows.networking post...
Anyway, here goes.
In each segment, a segment master browser (SegMB) will be elected. When a
user double clicks on Network Neighbourhood, the computers shown are a
result of querying the SegMB for the segment browse list. Machines get
added to the segment browse list when they boot up and send a broadcast
packet in an attempt to discover or force the election of the SegMB.
So, in your case, you have two segment master browsers. The trick is to
get them to talk. This is where WINS (and Windows NT Server) come in.
Segment master browsers ask domain master browsers (DomMB) for the browse
lists of the other segments. Since the SegMB's have their primary and
secondary WINS pointing to the same WINS databases, then everything
eventually gets sync'ed up.
Which means that if you follow the Microsoft way, you will have to set up
an NT server.
There may be a way to set up the Linux box to forward the broadcast
packets between the two subnets (kink of defeats the purpose of a router,
though) so that there is only one segment master browser.
Just to be complete, you could use the LMHOSTS file and set up the
mappings statically. This will work for you, I believe, but what a
headache. Adding a server means running around and changing the LMHOSTS
file (unless you come up with some fancy logon script). Yuk.
hope this helps,
Luca

hi, just wanted to add a few words here. Please correct me if i am wrong. I
think pinging 127.0.0.1 will only pinging the OS portion of it. I mean it
doesnt go through the hardware (network card) itself. Pingign 127.0.0.1 will
still give a good result eventhough the NIC is not inplace at all. In order

Try putting the call to the program in ip-up.local and making the requisite
changes in ip-up? It'll call the script every time you redial.. no more manual

Heiko:
One quick question, and then I'll get out of your hair..
Are you using NetBEUI on the Winbox? NetBEUI can sometimes cause problems
with DoD setups as you have... Take NetBEUI off the Winbox and see if it
still does it.
Other culprits:
ICQ Notify/ICQ
Netscape AOL IM'er
Mail clients
Check and see if any of this is on your Winbox, and remove it if it is...
your dialup woes should be over..
Oh, and put your DNS back the way it was...

Hi !
I just installed an old 486 as my new internet router for my little
lan. My main machine is a win95 system (shame on me) and I wanted to
use this configuration as follows:
- whenever I start my web browser or telnet client on my win95
machine, the linux server should connect to the internet and after I
closed my internet application on the win-machine, linux should
disconnect.
It worked fine ! No problem at all. Now my big, big problem is : It
seems to me that the win95 systems queries a nameserver every couple
of minutes (and I don't know which program to blame for this!), so
when I configured my win95-machine with the dns of my provider, every
couple of minutes my linux server connects to the internet and
disconnects after some seconds. (with iptraf I found out that the
win95 machine is really responsible for that!).
My next step was to set up a cache-only dns on the linux machine in
order to get rid of these nonsense connects. So I entered the IP of my
linux machine as the dns server for the win95 system and tried to
configure named as cache-only.
The following phenomenon happened : Whenever I tried to use the
nameserver (e.g. running netscape on my win95 machine and entering
"www.xyz.com" as URL) I was able to monitor a request from my named to
the nameserver of my provider (which I configured as a "forwarder" in
named.boot), but the linux system tried to connect to this nameserver
on the "sl0" device ! (I'm using ppp0 for my internet connection).
Named starts with a line "cache zone "" loaded (serial 0)" in
/var/log/message ...
Any ideas ? Please send my your replies as an email, too !
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) !!
Thank you very much !!!
Bye,
Heiko
P.S.: I promise that I'll kick off that win95 machine ASAP ! :-)

I put the same into /etc/hosts/ on the linux box (pc2)
There is no default gateway information for any of them.
There is also a copy of Win 98 on the linux box with the same TCP/IP

They are both connected on a local hub.
The Win98 machine (same pc as linux, just different partition) and NT
machine can see one another fine via TCP/IP they can both ping to one
another fine. network neighborhood is ok too. Note: I do not want to use
SAMBA for the Linux machine.
When I boot into Linux on the Win 98 pc, the tcp/ip configs are the same
as they were in the Win 98 system. When I try pinging to the NT machine
at (192.168.1.1) I see network unreachable. The same for the NT machine
to the linux pc (192.168.1.2) The only diff is the configuration of the
network card on the linux pc. In Win 98 it uses 0x300 and 11, but under
Linux it self configures for 0x300 and 3. When I try switching the 3 to a
11 the NIC does not even appear to be detectable during the boot up

So what needs to happen in order for my

192.168.1.2 pc2 (Linux)
to see one another through a ping or traceroute so I can telnet from my

I removed the font server in the same manner. Simple!
one question, why?
Well, to be honest, I wasn't really that impressed, and there were some
glitches that I didn't feel like sorting out. So, out it went.
Query a package: "xxx is not installed."
Install it: Installation fails because "xxx is already installed."
This sounds like rpm ver 2.3, if so, upgrade to the latest, the not
installed/can't install bug was fixed in (IIRC) 2.4.1 'course, you could
have used --force but that's another issue...
I'm not sure what version of RPM I've got - I'm not in front of it at the
moment. However, it came stock with RH 5.2.
When I encounter that issue, I do use --force. Couldn't proceed without it!

I can understand some of their concern. They're afraid of Linux because
of it's capabilities. Imagine if you will a spammer setting up his own
Linux mail server on a high speed cable service.
My conspiracy theory was that GTE was in collusion with BillG. I called

Subject: problem with ppp not connecting
I'm having trouble trying to connect to my ISP using the PPP protocol

I'm trying to connect with the following script

pppd debug /dev/cua0 connect 'chat -t 20 -v "" atdt0570889001 "CONNECT"'
I deliberately don't send the login or password key phrases to chat, as
I am following the instructions that my ISP (IBM Global Network) set

chat that my

Are there any special masquerading rules I must set to allow AOL to

computers sharing a connection through a windoze PC running wingate, and
AOL didn't work until I got a licensed version. The unlicensed version
allows the computer it's running on, along with one other computer to
share a connection. I'm assuming that AOL opens a socket on the client
computer, making wingate think there's 3 computers sharing and it won't
let it through. If so, I thought maybe I'd need some weird settings for
masquerading too. If anyone has set up AOL behind an IP masquerade,
please let me know if you had to do anything special.

Look in /var/log/debug for the ppp negotiation messages for more

in /etc/syslog.conf if this file doesn't exist. "man syslog.conf" explains.
It might be that because of the "."'s you need quotes with the

but at this point it could be a lot of other things.

Mike,
Yes, swapon has been run. I've flagged the partition as swap, I've added the
proper entry to fstab, i've run mkswap, I've run swapon. I've done this
before several times with no trouble. Here is fstab:
/dev/hda3 /ext2defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 swapswap 0 0
#/dev/hda2 swapswap
none /procprocdefaults 1 1
I have hda2 commented out so that I can try to get hda1 working properly
first. Everything looks ok to me, other than an oops due to "unable to
handle paging request." I'm sure this is because the paging space isn't
being used. Here's free:
twistdrill:~# free
total used free sharedbuffers cached
Mem: 47152 40568 6584 5656 14148 21344
-/+ buffers/cache: 5076 42076
Swap:52380 0 52380
This tells me that everything should work, but the swap space is being added
with a -1 priority. I'm curious, does it matter if the partition which holds
my / filesystem isn't in the first part of my disk? Here's my partition
table:
Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 1023 cylinders

Hi all,
Here's a potentially stupid question for everyone that has a Linux box
as a gateway... do you leave it on all the time? Is there a Advanced
Power Management System equivalent for Linux?
I'm thinking of configuring a Linux box to act as a gateway and
firewall, but I don't like the idea of having to boot a second machine
up everytime I want to get on the net. Does that make sense?
Thanks,

Thanks for the help!
I think the 2.2.x kernels have support for bandwidth control on an
interface. Using this you could specify a maximum bandwidth for an
interface. If your route was set up correctly it would ditstribute
load between the four squids evenly, with a maximum load on each. For
the details, grab the kernel source and read the docs.

BUT if you still want connection to the other machines, neither this cable
nor a hub will help you , without much further ado. this depends on the setup
of the rest of your network, better ask the network-operators or admins or
whatever how to do it best.
---== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==--

Here I DISagree.
Plugging both machines in to a hub (or preferably a switch. Netgear makes a nice,
inexpensive 4 port switch that would do the trick here) and then from the hub
(switch) to a single wall port will allow both machines to talk to each other
without tasking the rest of the network. Granted the hub will still broadcast to the
rest of the net, and the switch won't once it finds the other machine (ergo that
suggestion). The other great benifit here would be that your sun and alpha boxes
could communicate with each other at 100Mb/s, while talking to the rest of the LAN
at 10Mb/s.

Here's one for the thinkers out there. I'll admit I'm stumped on this
one.
I'm trying to allow remote windows users to login to my local LAN vial a
DoD Linux box. The problem is that the domain information refuses to
pass thru the PPP link. Services such as Micro$loth Exchange, Mail, etc
are not seen, nor are the machines on the other side of the PPP link.
I can ping both ways across the PPP link, so routing is not the issue.
The Linux server at the remote site is dialing into an NT 4 SP4 server.
When the link is up, I can ping the remote workstations, the remote
linux box, telnet to the remote linux box, and thru it, ping both remote
and local machines, but none of the NT domain information is being
passed.
Anyone got a clue on how I can get this to work?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I need some help, please. I am running RedHat 5.2 on a a clone pc,
and I am trying to connect to my ISP which is called Integrity Online.
The problem is that they have a firewall, and I have never set Linux up
to deal with a firewall before. I can successfully connect to my ISP,
it assigns me a dynamic ip address, as usual. The problem is I cannot
get out to the internet. Netscape tells me something like it cannot
find the proxy server that I have set up in it even though I know that
the proxy name is correct, it is the same info I use in NT 4.0 and Win95
and they connect and cruise fine. I have pinged the firewall from my NT
and Win95 connections and have put the corresponding ip number in my
hosts file in order for their to be a dns resolution on my end. If I
did not, Netscape complains that "proxy.iolusa.com is unknown" and will
not let me continue to configure it. If I try to ping the firewall or
any valid internet address from my Linux connection, I get the error
from ping that the network is unreachable. The protocol that I am using
is tcp-ip, of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have
banged my head against this for awhile and have not gotten anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

You would see exactly that. The user authorisation will then be done via
PAP (probably) or CHAP. Your username and password then go inot the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file.
So, have the chat script finish after it sees the CONNECT message, and
let pppd take over. Look in /var/log/messages for a

setting up a new linux box to replace my current linux box, and the

I need to write a script to temporarily unconfigure both eth0 and eth1,

lots of files. I know how to undo routing and ipfwadm, but I'm somewhat
unclear on how to undo ifconfig commands.
Does "ifconfig eth0 down" undo the other ifconfig commands as well
bringing it down? or do I have to undo each ifconfig command
separately?
Why switch what device eth0 and eth1 is attached to? Perhaps I'm missing
something, but it would seem that if you're just insisting on using certain
addresses for certain traffic you could use ifconfig and the route command to
swap the addresses.

aaa.bbb.ccc.32 voyager.qx.net voyager
aaa.bbb.ccc.33 defiant.qx.net defiant
Try setting up your machines on a private network (192.168.[1-254].x).
IIRC, you need to do this with IP masquerading (the whole point is to hide
an entire network behind a single IP address).

Folks,
I have noticed that when I try to dial out with a modem that is being
monitored by mgetty I am told the
device is busy. Is there a way to dial out without turning off mgetty?
Sure. Just read the mgetty.info files, especially the parts about
_all programs using the same device name (ttyS*) solely_ .

Now, drop out the W95 box for the Linux box. Go to set up the

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (what??? how can this be?)
I just did this today. You need to set up a static route to the gateway.
Here's the sum total of all the changes I made to my system in order to get
it working (commented for your pleasure, and changed to your numbers):
in /etc/rc.d/init.d/init:
# first, load the driver for the card they mailed me
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/net/3c59x.o
# then, up the interface
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 151.200.17.173 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
151.200.17.255
# set up the static route to the gateway
/sbin/route add -host 151.200.16.1 eth0
# and set up the default route
/sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 151.200.16.1

Hello,
I am new to Linux so please be kind.
I am trying to set up a LAN with 1 Mac and 1 linux RH5.2 box using TCP via
a twisted pair cross-over cable. I have the Mac set to Ethernet, IP
192.168.0.2, Netmask 255.255.255.0. On the Linux side I have eth0 using IP
192.168.0.3, netmask 255.255.255.0.
The problem is the machines won't talk to each other. I *think* the
network card on the Linux box is working because at boot It shows the
memory addresses for it and ifconfig is giving me a MAC address but I
can't ping the Mac and the Mac can't telnet or finger (I don't have a ping
tool for the Mac). After trying ping a few times ifconfig says that zero
packets have gone through eth0. Also I have netatalk installed and at boot
when it starts atalkd it pauses for about a minute before continuing the
boot proccess. And I'm not seeing anything in chooser (I don't know if
they're related).
I know the network card works because windows sees the card and I know the
cable is good because I can transfer files between windows and the mac
using PC MacLan.
I've downloaded the NET3-HOWTO and I *think* I did everything right.
Any help would be great! E-mail at (fyrefiend at hotmail dot com) would
work best but posts are more then welcome.
Thank you in advance,
Lloyd

I'm new to Linux, and have become ultimately frustrated over the last 5 days
in my attempts to set up a PPP connection.
How hard can it get to set up a PPP dial-up connection with RedHat Linux
5.2?
If you read the manual, the FAQ's, the HOW TO's and RedHat's kind

"Rick Glunt" [EMAIL PROTECTED] rambled:
I have several scripts I use to connect to my ISP. When I run them from the
terminal they work fine. When I put the script into crom to run every 1/2
hour, I get an error "PPP link is not active on ppp0". What is the
difference where I run the script if I know it works?
I expect it is an environment problem. Remember that when you run
things from cron, your login scripts do not get executed, so the full
environment is not created.
Try changing the cron entry from (for example):
30 * * * * /usr/blah/ppp-on
to:
30 * * * * . $HOME/.profile; /usr/blah/ppp-on

Hi. I have the typical reverse lookup problem.
My server tries to resolve names that has in /etc/hosts.
I have searched dejanews and followed some advises found
here but I still haven't succedded.
- I added entries for /etc/hosts
- I modifield the file /etc/nsswitch.conf
It was like this :
networks: files dns
hosts: files dns
I tried only
files
I tried
files [NOTFOUND=return] dns
- I removed /etc/nsswitch.conf
- I added in /etc/hosts:
order hosts, bind
multi on
What else can I do ?

To get dhcpc working with the Intel card, which is mentioned in docs
and newsgroup as being difficult here, I simply downloaded dhcpcd
1.3.17-pl2 from sunsite. I solves a problem with 2.2.0 kernel and
another problem with that intel card.
I had another problem with letting the script start dhcpcd using
start-stop-daemon. Any options for dhcpcd would cause an
error message. I commented all those lines and just ran the
thing,
/sbin/dhcpcd -h username eth0

Hi all,
I am working on getting my Linux router/firewall working with my cable
modem. The internal part of the network seems fine... I can telnet,
ping, FTP, etc between the Linux box and my Windows machines.
I am trying to get the DHCP client to work on the external connection.
After some digging into the network-scripts I have determined that I am
indeed running dhcpcd (0.70) WITH the -h option. Unfortunately, I do
not seem to be connecting.
I have seen that in my normal set-up (Win 95 DHCP client to cable
modem), I see that I send a DHCP REQUEST (Type 3) message and I get back
a DHCP ACK (Type 5). All works fine.
With my Linux client, I send a DISCOVER (Type 1) message and get an
OFFER in reply. The reply message has an IP address (the one I normally
get), DNS server
