 I've got RedHat v6.0 installed on a notebook machine.  Sometimes the

 I would like to wrap network-related tasks (update time, etc.)  in a check
 to determine if a connection is present, with the task not being performed
 if no connection is found.  Is there a simple way to test if the system has
 a working network connection?
 
 Here's how I do it with ksh:

I don't think this will work. Presuming the LAN connection is an
ethernet card then changing your script to check for eth0 will always
'do something' because eth0 can present wether or not the machine is
physically connected to the network.

If you know that a particular IP address is in use on your network that
you could try something like 

pppup=`ping -c 1 x.x.x.x | grep '100%'`

Where x.x.x.x is an address you know to be 'pingable' on your network.

Not an ideal solution, and it will introduce something like a 6s delay (
on this machine ) when not on the network upon running the script

RJ45 cable can only be run in about 100ft lengths before you start noticing
major performance problems due to noise interferance.  I think couplers might
take care of it, but I have never tried.

Make sure that the computer you are telneting from is in the /etc/hosts
file.  You can either edit it directly or run linuxconf and go to
networking - misc - information about other hosts.
I had a similar problem, except for the delay was much longer (20-30secs)

Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 20:12:00 -0500

OK Folks, here's a little update, but first, many "Thanks" to all of you for
your helpful suggestions. :)

Greg, what you suggested works well. I have a little inconsistancy though,
and wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that computer A has
internet access presently (still working on my firewall) and thus more
protocols, etc. than computer B.

Here's what happens when I restart both computers:
Computer A doesnt prompt for a password for Windows login.
Computer A does prompt for a Samba password, but doesnt remember it, even
when saving is checked.

Computer B does prompt for a password for Windows login, and wont let me see
the SMB server until I login properly.
Computer B doesn't prompt for a Samba password, and lets me access the SMB
server without hesitation.

I have deleted my .pwl files on both machines, and rebuilt new .pwl files,
but still get the same results.

Both computers now show Computer A, Computer B, and the SMB Server in the
Network Neighborhood. And when I open the Server from Computer A or B, I see
only their respective directories on the server, and nothing else (good). I
have yet to make a shared directory on the SMB server, but the simple things
first. Also, note that computers A and B both have a single folder on their
drives that are shared, but no permissions have been given to any users.
This is a "leftover" from my Windows Net Neighborhood prior to my Linux
server (I had simple sharing only then).

My guess is that Computer B is correctly logging in, even though both
Network Neighborhoods are configured the same, except for the differences
found in Computer A (Computer A is configured for Internet login to local
ISP).

Again, thanks in advance, any further help appreciated...

Mike

Not sure, but sometimes this is a problem with an stty command in the .profile,

try wrapping the stty command something like this:

if (?prompt) then
stty xx

Baptiste,

A bit confused about what you mean by forcing YPBIND to mount a filesystem,
unless you are talking about using an automount map which is maintained in
NIS.  You should, however, be able to mount with the options "-o
proto=udp,vers=2" and force the AIX box to try only udp, version 2 NFS
requests.  This is correct syntax at least for Solaris, man "mount" for
equivalent on AIX.

Good luck!

 I want to mount some exported PATHs on an RS/6000 Server which is under

 The problem is I don't manage to force YPBIND on the RS/6000 to mount

 So ? Some one has got the solution ?

Might it be the case that you are able to ping the Linux machine using
its IP address, but not its name?  (That is, something like "ping
192.168.1.1" works, but "ping p386" fails?)  If so, you need to create a
HOSTS file on your Win98 machine.  You'll find a sample "HOSTS.SAM" file
in your \Windows directory, just add your IP addresses and associated
host names to it and save the file as HOSTS. You can copy your
/etc/hosts file from your Linux system, it should be in the same format
and have the same information.

I have a number of NT servers, and they're not THAT bad.  They stay up
for a couple of months at a time.  I wouldn't consider ANY mission
critical database on an NT server, because they simply don't appear to
hold up in my expierence.

I agree, a NT server prolly wouldnt, but a NT cluster will. Once again, we
run both our Unix servers and our NT servers (Volvo Aero is converting all
rdbms to NT) with a maximum of eight hour service unavailability / year.

I have a linux box that I'm running on a P100
notebook with 32megs of ram, and it outperforms my P166 server with 64
for fileserving, and I don't have to reboot it except to take it home.
A change to the shares takes less than a minute, as do almost any other
type of change to the system.  I'm not saying that Linux is what I would
choose for a couple hundred gig database, I'd probably go with something
like Solaris or VMS, but only because those are a bit more time honed.
Linux is the KILLER OS for small to mid sized shops, and it's getting to
the point where it will be good enough for true enterprise size shops.

Im not disagreeing there either.


Linux is fast, stable, and faily easy to set up with a little bit of
work.  Anyway, I think that's enough rambling for now.

Yes, but an OS wont be a mass market until it is also "home safe" which is a

First published in Apache Week issue 37 (18th October 1996).

Using User Authentication
There are two ways of restricting access to documents: either by the
hostname of the browser being used, or by asking for a username and
password. The former can be used to, for example, restrict documents to use
within a company. However if the people who are allowed to access the
documents are widely dispersed, or the server administrator needs to be
able to control access on an individual basis, it is possible to require a
username and password before being allowed access to a document. This is
called user authentication. 

Setting up user authentication takes two steps: firstly, you create a file
containing the usernames and passwords. Secondly, you tell the server

 AFAIK the ordinary PC serial port hardware (16550A UART) doesn't support

Subject: Re: Linux box on NT network: Network Name? Visibility from other hosts?
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 10:25:01 +0200

One of the problems it that I don't _have_ an IP address assigned
specifically to me, so I can't have an entry added to the DNS servers. We
have over 50k machines on our network, so DNS would be a bit cumbersome to
maintain. I get my IP dynamically via dhclient on startup. We do have some
DNS servers, but I'm not sure how well they're maintained.

I do have smbd running, and I've tried all kinds of options in smb.conf,
including the "make Samba emulate a WINS server", but I'm still not visible
in the network neighborhood. :( I thought maybe it was just a matter of
waiting 10 or 20 minutes before I was "echoed" across the network, but no
amount of waiting has made the Linux machine visible.
I'd really like to use this Linux box as our MySQL server instead of our NT
machine, but I can't unless I can get around this problem. :`( Wa.


Nicholas E Couchman wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]...
We will start with the Network Neighborhood problem.  To have the Linux box
be
seen in the Neighborhood, you must have a daemon running on the Linux
computer
that emulates Wintel networking.  Samba is the most common, and maybe the
only,
daemon that does this.  With Samba, you edit the smb.conf file to match
your
network settings (be careful, because you can take down WinNT domain
control w/
Samba).  Your Linux box should appear in the network neighborhood.
The ping problem.  Your company has a DNS server running on WinNT somewhere
in
the building (I know because I have my own DNS server at home).  You need
to
ask a sys admin around there to assign the IP address of your Linux box a
name
(ie linux.domain.network).  After they do that, you will be able to ping
using
name instead of IP.

 I've played around with many options in /etc/dhclient.conf, but dhclient
 fails to get an IP if I make any substantial changes to the default (and
it
 always says that the "option" lines don't follow the correct format, even
 when pasted in directly from the dhcp-options man page).

 Can someone please tell me how I can get my Linux machine seen via it's
 NetBIOS name from WinXX hosts? I suspect that it has something to do with
 dhclient.conf, but I have yet to figure it out. I believe I have all
 required protocols, etc. smbclient can see the WInXX hosts, for example.

do a recursive chmod?

Thanks for both responses. However, I cannot ping by IP (which is what
I've been trying to do). It seems strange to me that this doesn't work.
I've networked numerous Solaris clients/Dec UNIX clients in much the
same way without any problems, but I can't figure out how to get this
gosh darn win98 box to work on my Linux network. Of course, it's my only
client, so maybe the Linux box is screwy, too.

If there's a faq on networking linux and win98 clients, please forward

this happen, that would be cool too.

The pkg would run on a router and modify packets
flowing thru it, i.e. change application data

This would involve recalculating lengths, checksums etc.

Is there an easy way to do this ? (using ip-chains,

BTW, I agree that Xinvest isn't good enough... if there'd

where did u get this 195.195.195.195 address ? hope youre not planning on going
to the internet with that, because its a read address.

in win98 add the machine names and their ip address to /windows/hosts

in linux in your /etc/hosts file

Have you actually CONFIGURED a DNS? if not, just add the names / IP's of

I am attempting to configure a proxy firewall using SuSE 6.1 with tis-FWTK.
I have a box with 2 nics - one to the private network and one to the
internet. Everything is set up according to the Howtos and the HTTP proxy
works great. The problem is that I cannot get newsgroup access (even though
my netperm file has the plug-gw configured to allow all private ip's to
connect to all intenet addresses on their nntp port and vice versa). Am I
missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance

Brief Overview:

1 small LAN consisting of 10 Windows 98 machines and a LINUX fileserver... 
been up and running for sometime... it works...

1 Cable Modem with a static ip... just installed...

1 old 486 to act as the firewall/router for the Cable Modem... running LRP 

Connected the Cable Modem to eth0 on the 486 and eth1 to the hub.

Now see, since I got wormholed into setting this up I should note that I know
very little about networking so my question(s) is:

How do I go about configuring LRP to work in this stituation??? I thought I was
doing it right but I cant even get a simple ping to work on either eth0 or
eth1... 

If I could get that working then I can worry about get the IP masquerading
rules right...

Thanks,
Ryan

  Does Windows automagically handle PAP?

 Yeah, DUN employs auto PAP if it can. What you have to keep in mind if
you
 are using Linux with various POPs is that some allow the CHAT login
method,
 and others require PAP to do all the authentication. to check this
out, try
 to dial up your POP with minicom and see if you see the following:

 Username: your ID
 Password: Your PWD
 isp ppp
 ~{

Hey!  Thanks for responding.

Anyway, I had deduced that BellSouth does use PAP.  I am using netcfg in
the RedHat derived Turbo Linux.  I enter the options into the PAP
section, but the connect script still fails.  I used minicom also, to
verify the correct "look for" strings, but because it's PAP I can't
connect using minicom (the old trick was to connect, then exit minicom
without resetting the modem, and manually run pppd...then you could
write the proper scripts based on that).

Anyway, tried a variety of things last night.  Printing out the
ppp-howto now, so maybe I'll just skip netcfg.

Thanks,

Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 18:25:21 GMT

I need help.

I'm running NIS in a RedHat Linux, Solaris and SGI/Irix environment.
The NIS master and slave servers are Linux.  Linux to linux and linux
to Solaris work flawlessly.  The problem is with IRIX.  I have 2 O2's
running IRIX 6.5 and an Origin running IRIX 6.4.  I have both versions
of IRIX binding to the NIS servers.  YPWHICH and YPMATCH/YPCAT all
work just fine.

Here's my problem.  I can not login with a user account that was created
on the Linux box and can only be authenticated thru NIS.  When I try to
login is get -  'UX: login: ERROR: login incorrect' - as if the account
was invalid.  Now if I remove a user account from the local passwd file
so that NIS has to be consulted it works fine.

I am using shadow accounts on the SGI's but the Sun's are the same way
and work just fine.  I have added the '+' to the /etc/passwd files and
as you can see above they all appear to be checking NIS for
authentication.

Any hints, tips, etc., are extremely appreciated.

Thanks

BTW.  Since there is so little good info on NIS for Linux, at least,
RedHat, I plan on submitting my documentation for posting on the
various sites - when I get everything working.  Anyone that provides
help that contributes to solving this will be included in the credits.

To All,
For the last couple of months, I have been having intermittent
connection problems with my RH5.2 box.  I have an ISDN connection through
one of the major Bells, and just about once every couple of days, I am
unable to ping the IP of the machine.  After a while, I will be able to ping
the IP of the machine, but I am unable to ping just using the machine name.
At this point, I do not have FTP, WWW, SMTP, or TELNET access.  Then, after
a while longer, all normal modes of access to the machine return for about a
day or a day and a half.  Then, the vicious cycle starts all over.
Does this sound familiar?  Any ideas, anyone?

Don't choke on your giggle.  Win-whatever gets installed by the system
builders, and they have learned the hard way to pick and match hardware
combinations that work for them.  Quite a few of the smaller system
builders are quite out of their league when something goes wrong.  A
friend of mine recently tried to install a new (internal) modem.  He has 
been to 4 local dealers since, hoping they would get his system running
again.  Last time I talked to him he was still hoping.

Hello,

IRQ=3 may be conflicting with serial port 2. Do you have serial 2 in your
machine.

Try changing irq to 5 or 10.

Good luck!

 In both cases the linux box is adding up RX packets. So packets are

I need to do, just don't work and I need to make sure my linux machine

I downloaded the latest version of Samba and tried to install it and
ran into trouble.

System Info:
SuSE linux 6.0
Kernel version 2.2.0_pre7-0
Samba version 1.9.18p10-22

The first step in the readme file was to run './configure'.
This is were it falls down. I killed the smbd and nmbd processes
before starting this operation. The error I get is the following:

loading cache ./configure.cache
checking for gcc...gcc
checking wether the C compiler (gcc -O) works ... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.

What can be causing this problem?

Ilan,

check the host-to-isp resolving on computer B and compare it with
machine A.

If computer B is a linux machine then check the etc/resolv.conf on
computer B
If computer B is a windows machine, check your Ethernet/ip dns tab

 Hi,
 We have a small netwark of 2 computers (ethernet between them) that
 connect to the out side world using a modem installed in one of them
 (A).  the second computer (B) has its default gateway set to be the
 first computer (A) and I have setup ppp on A and everything is working.
 The problem is that currently each user that want to connect out has to
 check if someone is already connected and then, if not, he has to login
 as root to computer A and initiate the ppp connection.
 
 To solve this problem I'm trying to set up diald. I read the HOWTO and
 the man page, and got it set almost completely.
 
 When someone on A tries to connect - the diald activates the ppp and I
 get connected and everything is fine. I can use the Internet from both
 machines.
 
 If someone on B tries to connect (when the connection is down) then the
 diald starts the ppp (as should be) and the compures get connected (I
 see the ppp0 connection). From computer A everything works fine, but
 from computer B I cannot use domain names, only IP adresses. It seems
 that only in this  situation I cannot connect to the DNS (which is
 external).  The DNS connection works fine for computer A, and for
 computer B when I use regulat ppp of computer A inisiated the
 connection).
 
 Can anyone please point me in the direction of the problem please?
 
 I'm using RH 6.0 and kernel 2.2.5-15.
 
 Thanks in advance,

An update on the problem.

It actually seems it is not a routing problem. I tried connecting to another
ISP (a friends', so I still need to fix the problem) and everything worked
fine. The discovery I made was that with the first ISP (mine) the local ip
address was not being assigned properly.

My eth0 ip is 192.168.22.42 and this was the address the remote server was
assigning me for ppp0.

The second ISP assigned a local address that was in the same domain as the
server I was connected to (remote ip). This is the correct situation as I
understand it.

Does anyone know why this is so, is it something at my end or something at
the server end.

 *This* is the best one I've heard in a while.  (I'm sure your mother is a very
 nice and very intelligent person, BTW.)

She thinks Windows is confusing because she doesn't handle icons and
graphics well.  The majority of her computing life has been spent on
Trash-80's, Apple ][ series computers, UNIX (non-administratively), etc.
She's very set in her ways, and very used to command-line life.  She loves
the SCO server at the office because the command line is straightforward.
She was sad to see DOS go.

Now, if there's one thing I've learned from Linux, it's this.  It's a good
toaster.  Once you can plug it in and learn to set it so it won't burn the
bread, you can pretty much press the button and get quality toast for
life.   Linux is NOT tricky to use.

It IS, however, tricky to administrate for a while.  Once you set it up
correctly, though, it really does take care of itself.  Linux doesn't give
you the solution (Win98 tries to...it doesn't solve much, but...).  It
gives you the tools to come up with whatever solution you think is
necessary.  For my family's business, this is really really simple:

1) Set up Linux- configure system for dialup networking and SLIP
networking
2) Set up script to get the keybindings for the custom terminal emu.
correct.
3) Alias a suite of personal commands that my mother likes.

Lock and load- we're done.  Maybe I customize them a little WindowMaker
root menu or something...leave a dockapp laying around so they can easily
restart the dialup.

Their other choice is a $300 program from their office solution supplier
that's nothing more than a program to run telnet over a SLIP LAN with some
special keybindings.  And my mom is still trapped in a look-and-feel she
hates.

This isn't too out-there, either.  I've seen a lot of tech column articles
about people setting up Linux boxes for their relatives/friends/etc who
are computer idiots but love Linux because "it's so simple."  A properly
configured Linux box is VERY easy to use.

PC operating systems like DOS and Windows let you do this at various

keycodes representing a composite event (such as "Shift-Alt-F7 was pressed")
at the next level, and ASCII characters at the top level.  In general, UNIX

i am using 'atlantic' program to put the network card into ne2000 mode
like so:
atlantic -N -Q 3 -w
the card defaults to io=0x300, and since that base address is free i've
stuck with it.

in my kernel log file i occasionally get entries saying that tx is
taking too long and that perhaps an interrupt isn't being handled. i
suspect that this is true - looking at /proc/interrupts shows NE to be
permanently on 1. I've tried various irqs without success.


other info: I'm running SuSE linux 6.1, kernel 2.2.7.
i only have a modem, soundcard and graphics card + the network card in
the machine.
no scsi, only ide drives (cdrom, 2 hd, zip drive), serial mouse. i'm
sure I'm not getting any hardware setting conflicts as /proc/ioports,
/proc/interrupts look fine, and no modules/drivers complain on loading.



if this is not fixable, perhaps you know how to get a de305 card working
(ne2000 'compatible' again).

you may have a file called /etc/rc.d/rc.local

simply add the setserial... line into there. it's probably not the
correct file to put it in, but it'll work

but redhat (i presume) doesn't have a serial configuration file.
you could create your own and make a symlink to it in one of the rc?.d
directories.. mmm best for you to read a bit about sysv init.

Somehow you've got a pppd executable which isn't fully compatible with

Is the kernel you're now using the one which came with SuSE v6.1 or have

You could probably fix things by recompiling one or other (or both)

Sounds about right :-( Can't remember the rest of the thread, but was

PROBLEM SOLVED
well here was the problem. i got sick of x so i decided to upgrade it...thats how i
figured this outafter i upgraded netscape still had black buttons so the
upgrade didn't change anythinganyways, there was a problem with my video card
due to the new version of x i was running so i went in with XF86Setup and changed
my card or whateveranyways, i restarted and netscape was still messed up...i
went back into XF86Setup and i noticed somethingin there, it was configured to
start up with 24bpp although my startx script had the --bpp 16 option onso i
changed the bpp in XF86Setup to 16bpp and netscape then had color icons...so
unknowingly i was running in 24bpp when x first started then would switch to 16
which screwed netscape over.and there was my problem...so if you have the
problem, check XF86Setup to see if your running in 24bpp without knowing.

also, i was able to get xwd to work with the x upgrade (thats why i upgraded so i
could make leeto screenshots). anyways, have a nice day everyone and thanks for
your help.

It's said that X can display output on another machine on the network, but
everyone seems to assume that the remote machine is a Linux-box. Isn't it
possible to run an application under W95 that can connect to my X-server

That, i'd like to try. Only, i can't get hold of the proper software for the

Subject: Help! Linksys PCMCIA EthernetCard
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 00:01:04 GMT

I'm trying to get a Linksys Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard working in my
Toshiba 2535 Satellite laptop. The PCMCIA modem card works fine. When I
installed RH 6.0, I asked for networking. I can run the "cardctl status"
command and it sees to PC cards. Both cardctl and cardmgr are in /sbin.
But I cannot find cardinfo anywhere. (It is strange. I also loaded RH
6.0 on a desktop and I could find cardinfo (although I don't remember if
it was in /sbin but I think it was there). Of course the desktop doesn't
have an PCMCIA slots.) (This PCMCIA card is supported in Linux.)

How can I fix this? How can I get the ethernet card working? Do I need
to try to reload the networking software from the CD? What else can I do
to track down the problem?

A related problem occurs when the laptop reboots. It gets error message
101 and repeats the line with RCP (if memory serves), something to do
with NFS. I guess because networking is not working, NFS isn't working.
However it sits there for over 5 minutes or so before completing the
boot process. How can I fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, what you want to do isn't that trivial.  It can't be explained
in a short reply.  Let me list the big steps, to direct your
attention.  

1) recompile your kernel to support masqerading and reboot.
2) issue the appropriate forwarding policy using ipfwadm
 (once you are sure of the commands, you can put them in rc.local)
 (also, make sure you allow forwarding)
3) Configure your 5 plus windows 98 machines to use your linux machine
as a gateway.  You can either make your linux box be a DNS or tell the
windows machines to use whatever your ISP gave you as a DNS.

I learned how to do all three of these things from a book called _The
Linux Network_  by Fred Butzen and Christopher Hilton.  It is very
detailed and very specific to exactly what you want (and I wanted) to
do.

However, I'm not feeling patient

 Please provide sufficient information, I am a Linux newbie ; - )

 You are going to need 3 things...
 1) software to make files on the Linux system available to the Win98 systems
Look into - Samba for "Microsoft Networks" (SMB) support, or
  - Mars NWE for "Netware Bindary" support, or
  - NFS for Sun Network File System support.
Win98 comes with the client for "Microsoft Networks" and Netware, so no
additional software will be required, but if you choose to use NFS, you'll
have to acquire and install a (likely commercial) NFS client on each Win98
system.

 2) TCP/IP enabled on each of the Win98 systems, and

 3) A suitable file system driver installed on Linux (i.e. VFAT, DOS, etc.)
Since you are using a ZIP drive, you'll probably be exchanging disks with
other systems, and these disks are likely to be formatted for MSDOS/Windows,
rather than Linux. If so, then your Linux system will need file-system support
for MSDOS/Windows file systems enabled.

Subject: 100MB Fast Ethernet ISA ??
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 04:55:27 GMT

Hello, all.  I have a couple problems here.  I have recently acquired a
few old 486's for a home network for practice.  My main machine is a
P2-400, which has a Netgear FA-310TX 10/100(tulip driver) Ethernet PCI
card.  My P2-300 laptop has a Netgear FA-410TX(pcnet_cs driver) PCMCIA
card.  The laptop is running RH 6.0, and the tower is running Slackware
4.0 beta 3, both pretty much configured ala cookbook out of 'The Linux
Network'.  When I connect the two thru a hub, I can ping btwn the two,
but the results are kind of odd.  One ping will be fairly quick, say 0.5
ms, and the next one will be around 1 _second_, followed by the same
pattern until I kill ping.  Has anyone ran into this before?  I'm fairly
sure that I probably overlooked something on the laptop, as it has been
configured pretty much on the run when I get a chance, but I am at a
loss as to just what I missed.

As to the old 486's (and one P-60), I had intended to network them
together w/ the tower and the laptop, using more FA-310TX PCI cards.
That is, until I opened up the P-60 (a Compaq DeskPro XE 560) and
realized that it apparently doesn't _have_ a PCI slot.  I really don't
want to 'cripple' my network by having part of it at 10MB instead of
100MB, plus my original Netgear FE104 four port hub is 100MB, and dual
speed hubs/switches look rather expensive relative to 100MB hubs.  Is
there a 100MB ISA NIC out there that works w/ linux, and hopefully
*BSD?  Or is the ISA bus speed too limiting?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

Monte Milanuk

Try:
route add -net 193.1.31.0 gw 192.1.31.76

The Linux Host 1 can only reach the 192.1.31.0 network using the eth0.  In

i've heard that when you've got a 10 MBit network, than it's faster to use a
twisted pair connection than a coaxial one.
because the twisted pair is bidirektional you can transfer 10mbit in both

is this correct?

Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 12:11:38 -0400

I have everything I need installed (NIC card, Linux 6.0(redhat), Gnome)
but im not shure of how to have it so i can browse my Windows 98 network
from my Linux box.  I very new to this, but Im very experienced with
Win98.
Also, I use a internet shareing program in Windows 98, in order to set
up net access on a Win98 machine, I just have to go to the properties of
my NIC card's TCP/IP networking properties in the network neighborhood,
and set Gateway to 192.168.0.1(host computers IP), Enable DNS, and put
any name I want in the Host field, and I can specify an IP address or
have one obtained automaticallyhow do i set this up on
X-Windows??

 Hi!
 According to my slightly provocative subject :) i wonder if the romours talk
 true - i've read it in some computer magazines.
 
 So whats the main advandages of linux compared to windows? (I'm a kind of
 new to this :)
 

1) Reliability -- Linux boxes don't go down.  In four years of running
Linux I've NEVER had a kernel panic on a production system. Compare this
to the, on average, monthly BSODs on my NT 4.0 server (both the Linux
Apache and NT IIS servers are running on PII/266 boxes, 128M RAM, 5.7
Gig IDE, 5 Gig SCSI).

2) Performance -- The magazine articles you mentioned are probably
referring to the Mindcraft study.  There were problems with the
credibility of study that have been documented elsewhere.  Admittedly,
the test did show some shortcomings with the old Linux kernel on
high-middle PC hardware.  However, on machines that I use (one to two
processor, PII/400, 128-256M RAM average), Linux blasts NT away for file
and web serving. The newest Linux kernel addresses the problems with the
version in the study. 

3) Availability of software -- This is usually opposite to what Windows
folks might say.  However, I use mostly development, graphics and
mathematical software. The cost of these packages would be prohibitive
on other platforms. The shortcoming is that there are relatively few
production applications (like Office, contact and project managers,
etc). 

4) Price -- Buy one copy of any Linux distro and I can install it on as
many machines as I choose. When someone purchases a machine, I burn a CD
for them without paying another nickel (or $600 as the case may be) for
the OS license.

Subject: dhcpd server with a dhcpc interface ?
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 11:19:03 -0400

Hi:

I have a multi-homed linux box with four Ethernet cards. One interface
is
connected to the Internet by a cable-modem which I need to use dhcpcd to
get my IP address. I need also to run a dhcpd server on the same Linux
box
for some PC on the others networks. When I run the dhcpd server, it says
that I have an dhcp-client interface and that it cannot load the daemon.

Is there a way to use a dhcpd server on a system that have one
dhcp-client
interface ?

Thanks for any help.

It depends upon what you want to do.

If you want to interact with Windows, then the same way as your existing
Linux box does, Samba.  The CD on my Linux box started making stange

Don't use NFS.  RH 6 is compatible with so much more that using NFS is
not the right choice.  Samba (for me anyway), works great.  You can also
use standard TCP/IP (telnet, ftp, etc.).  I'm not a Linux guru (yet), but
I have tried NFS and it doesn't work that well.

Hi,

Have you tried other alternative commands to initialise modem, such as ATF0
, ATF2 or ATZ.
I have connected to my isp with the same model modem as you using the same
modem commands as you (different phone number obviously) and this is
working. You could also try using a terminal program to reset the internal
NVRAM registers to their default values as printed in the back of the manual
in case one of them is switching the modem into a strange communication
mode.

I hope this helps, if not then let me know and I will try to offer more
help.

 Hi All...
 
 I'm new to linux and think i'm having some trouble with masquerading 
 dropping packets. (?)
 
 I used to play Quake online WinNT with my cable modem.  No problems.
 
 I set up a linux machine and plugged it into my cable modem, then set up 
 WinNT to masquerade through linux.  It was very easy to set up and works 
 great.  However, I noticed that semi-periodically (about twice a minute) 
 packets are being lost as I play quake. [quake: connect to inet server 
 along with 10 other users and send/receive data.  check network status 
 using 'netgraph 1' command]  I am getting this packet loss on all quake 
 servers I try despite very low ping times. (~40ms)
 
 Running ping on my linux machine and simultaneously on my WinNT shows 
 packets being lost for NT but not linux. (?) [again, about twice a 
 minute]
 
 WinNT config has not changed since whole masquerading thing.
 
 Linux is not running anything special... not even X... it just sits 
 around masquerading packets all day for my single WinNT computer!
 
 I use hosts.deny (ALL:ALL) and hosts.allow, but don't think that should 
 be a big deal here.
 
 This problems exists whether or not I use module /sbin/modprobe 
 ip_masq_quake (i dont' know what this is for... but i think it's only for 
 quake server 'cause my client works fine always)
 
 Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this problem further?  I'm getting 
 tired of the server telling me "while you were dropping packets, another 
 player killed you with a rocket launcher"!!! :)
 
 Thanks,
 
 Rudy
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 


To clarify, (actually, this seems to make things more confusing)

Yahoo:
linux: ping www.yahoo.comno packet loss
winnt: ping -t www.yahoo.com no packet loss

A Quake Server:
linux: ping 4.20.162.2no packet loss
winnt: ping -t 4.20.162.2 packet loss!!!

I dont' know how PING works or what it does... but these are the honest 
to goodness results... not experimentor bias here!!

[i belive winnt uses 32 byte ping packets and linux uses 64 byte packets]

Thanks again,

Rudy

First, make sure that your NICs are working on both machines.  Second,
make sure that ONE (and one only) of your cables is a crossover cable OR
your hub is setup to crossover.  Now here goes the fun part!!
Under Linux, run the setup program (setup, linuxconf, etc.) and find your
NIC (eth0).  It should have a few options about assigning an IP address:
DHCP, BOOTP, or Static IP.  Make sure "Static IP Address" is selected,
checked, etc.  It should give you a place to type your IP address.  You
should use the following format: 192.168.x.x (where x.x is your last two
#'s).  192.168.x.x are IPs for private machines and networks.  Once you
have chosen this, it will probably try to guess your netmask, gateway,
nameserver, etc.  Make sure your netmask is set to 255.255.255.0 and the
rest should be null.
On your Wintel machine, use the network option in the control panel, make
sure you have TCP/IP is set up, and goto the option TCP/IP - Your
Network Card.  Click on the "IP Address" tab and set your IP Address
(192.168.x.x format) and your netmask

i have some big problems i'm hoping someone out there can help me
with. ok, first off i have a server which is running suse linux. it
does not have x installed on it, but it does have the libs required to
compile ghostscript. ok, i've compile LPRng and ghostscript on my
server and have a hp deskjet 660 cse (uses /dev/par0) connected to the
parallel port. i am running kernel 2.2.9 and during boot the following
appears:


 6parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
 6parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 660C
 6lp0: using parport0 (polling).

ok, so obviously my printer is detected by the kernel and i compiled
in printer support. anyways, on to the next thing. ok, lpr works
kinda. it accepts jobs but just feeds a paper through when it prints a
job (this is without a filter and this means it doesn't print, just
spits out a paper). ok, so i figure this is just a little problem
because ghostscript doesn't work right. now to move on to the
ghostscript problem. here is the line i use as my filter:


 #!/bin/sh
 nice -19 /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=cdj670 -dPapertype=0
 -sOutputFile=- -q -r300 -

ok, so i'm using the cdj670 driver for gs. this i found doesn't work
though. even with a manual feed through ghostscript i get this error:

ok, so obviously, there are some problems. so first ghostscript seems
to crash when a picture or text file is fed through it and lpr seems

this.

Oh, spare me from people who kinda-sorta know what they're doing WRT the
NIC.  As the owner of an ISP, I get notifications about bunches of
malformed domain requests come through my mailbox.  Here is what you need
to take away from this experience:

The administrative point of contact (APOC) should be YOU!  The APOC is, by
definition, the person who makes decisions about the domain like who
should host it.  (The other fellow is a sleaze if he always sets himself
up as APOC.)  At Brokersys, you would be the billing point of contact
because we don't want to get any more involved with the NIC's crappy
billing system than we have to be to maintain the domains we use ourself.  
However, I understand that some places do things differently.  C'est la
vie.  The technical point of contact should be person who runs the name
servers.

Now, if you're listed as ANY of the contacts, you can request that the
domain be moved.  In fact, you should talk to your new provider about this
because they'll be able to fill out the "paperwork" for you.
Unfortunately, as someone else said, if he doesn't consent, it won't be
automatic.  Be prepared to spend some long-distance money on calls to
Virginia.

Greetings,

I'm running Linux Mandrake 6.0, trying to build a router that dials up
via ISDN to an ISP.  I was able to make it go on the first try with KPPP
- including PAP authentication and multilink.

I'm having a hard time getting it to work with IFUP, though.  It just
won't authenticate using PAP.  I've read the PPP-HOWTO and the "How to
Connect to an ISP" HOWTO and a pile of other stuff.  Since KPPP is using
the same pppd, I'm assuming that the problem is with what's being fed to
pppd (scripts?)

I need to be able to setup dial-on-demand.  Is there a way to do that
with KPPP or is there a way to access the KPPP script from the shell to
establish the connection?  Or?

No chance on the remote audio. The CD audio is not piped through your CPU,
but it sent directly to the sound hardware on the source machine, meaning
that it can't be redirected. Look for a (normally) grey wire connecting your
CDROM to the sound card or main board (depends on the system).

Now you CAN play sound files from one system when the sound files reside on
another machine. But you can't be on machine A and play a sound to have it
be heard on machine B. Machine B has to pull the sound from machine A and
run it, since machine A doesn't have access to B's hardware (in this case,
the sound card).

Yes, you can use cron to start a CD if you use a program (like workman... or
is it workbone?) that can run CDs from the command line.

Desmond Coughlan wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]...
Ok, my question is (I suspect) quite simple.  I have a 3-node LAN, but
the server is buried away in a corner.  How can I put an audio CD into
the server, and play it (i.e., have the music heard) in another room ?

If I try to export the CD, it needs to be mounted.  If I don't mount
it, then my host can't see it.

Another question: I plan to put four speakers onto my sound card.  How
can I set cron to play a CD at a particular time?

Thanks.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 05:30:57 GMT

I am connecting to the internet from the box in my kitchen (MDK 6.0)
via another box running NT 4.0 using the Sygate NAT software.  I am
connected via @home cable service.  The NT box is a dual boot that
also has Linux on it, and from there everything works fine.  However
when I am logged into Linux on the box downstairs and it goes through
the NAT software it can not find the @home mail server.  I solved the
problem by pinging the mail server to get it's IP address and entering
that in the Netscape dialog box for mail server name. 

When I ping I see that the mail server name is not just "mail" (which
works when connected directly to the internet via any OS) but actually
"mail.sttln1.wa.home.com"  I assume that there is no difference if I
enter this or enter the IP of the server, correct?  No advantage to
either method?

Also, I have to enter the @home DNS numbers on the box behind the
Sygate NAT software.  The Sygate doc's say to enter the the IP of the
Sygate server for the DNS, however this does not work.  In order to go
anywhere I have to enter @home's DNS numbers.

Now, the idea of the Sygate NAT software is to allow more than one box
to connect to the network yet appear to the network as only one box.
Does my having to enter the DNS numbers on the second box (behind the
Sygate server) change this?

I am also rather perplexed by the whole NAT idea.  I understand that
it changes the headers of the packets to reflect the MAC of the NAT
server (at least I think I understand that is the case) but how in the
world does the NAT server know when it gets a packet that it is
intended not ofr it, but for a different box?  I assume that it it
adds information to the header, but then why is that information not
seen elsewhere?  At what level is the info added?  The network level?
The data link level?  I would greatly appreciate any info on this,
maybe some pointers to some  good info on the web.

Thanks Kurt

Chat was really made to use with pppd.  Pppd will supply it with the modem
device file that you specified as a pppd argument, and chat needs to know
which device file to use.

You may be able to play with command line stuff by redirecting standard
output:

chat '' ATZ OK 'ATDTsomenumber;' OK  /dev/modem  /dev/modem

This should dial and then disconnect.  You can omit the `;' and it won't
disconnect but then you'll need to use control-c to stop chat.  Also don't
assume that /dev/modem is automatically pointed at the device file your
modem actually uses - although if minicom works there's a good chance
that it is a link to the right one.

Hello:
I am attempting to network a win98 box with a linux system.  All I am
trying to do, is to run Apache HTTPD on the Linux box and access it from
the win98 system so I can  test CGI scripts.

I am attempting to connect them using ethernet cards.  I have assigned
the following IP addresses:
WIN98   IP:192.168.1.110Mask:255.255.255.0
Linux:  IP:192.168.1.100Mask:255.255.255.0

The linux system boots up with out a problem, it detected the ethernet
hardware ok.  I have the hosts file properly structured, netestat looks
ok.  At the linux box, when I ping for localhost and for 192.168.1.100
there are no problems, all packet sent are received.  However, when I
ping for the win98 system (192.168.1.110) I get no reply.  At the win 98
system I can ping both localhost and 192.168.1.110 but I can't ping the
linux box.  In other words, the systems are not able to talk at all.  I
have connected them using a crossover (NULL) cable as suggested in the
Ethernet-HOWTO.

This has to be a simple problem to fix.  Please, someone come to the
rescue!!

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Server manager and SAMBA server
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:45:54 GMT

Hi there!  I've got an NT network, to which I've just added a SAMBA
server.  It's a CD-ROM tower with 28 CD's, that I've asked a couple of
other questions about.  That shouldn't really make any difference for
this question, though.  The version of the samba RPM on this server is
samba-2.0.3-8.  I've noticed that when I go to the Server Manager and
bring up the properties for this server, it gives me some statistics,
but they seem a little bogus.  I've always got 1 session open, with no
files open or locked, and zero named pipes.  This is always the case,
even when I go and open a file on one of those shares for editing,
server manager still only reports the one dummy_user session.  Should
this work at all, and if it should, then can anybody help me fix it?
I'll upgrade to 2.04b if that will help as soon as I find some RPMS for
it.   Thanks,
Greg

Subject: Questions on NAT (Same address on both sides)
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 16:42:17 GMT

Can you use NAT to turn your Linux box into a router?
If I put aliases to every address on my internal network on eth0, can I
push that out eth1 (where the real network is)?

I currently am running unprotected and want to force a firewall
in between my local network and our internet router.  But I need to do
this without effected our address setup.  We have webservers, DNS, chat
... with real IP's pointing at our Internet router, and the outside
world pointing to us.

If I can't do this, what is my best fix?  I can't get in the internet
router, we have a full "C" address space.  Router is ?.?.?.1 and all
local servers point to it.
I could change the default gateway off local devices and point them the
the internal (eth1) of my Linux box, but how do I get requests from eth0
- eth1?


TIA

Rob and Bjorn,

Thanks for the comments.  While I'm not a newbie, there are things which are
learned over time and then may have been forgotten and need reinforcement.
Even as old as I am, my mother sometimes has to remind me of my manners
(hey, I even slip occassionally).  But this is one areas which I was not
aware of, but now am fully informed.

Having lived in Germany for 3 years, I'd forgetten about the by minute
charge.  Thanks, Rod, for reminding me.

The reason I posted the afpfs binary is because I was afraid that the
software would be lost (there have been a few postings which could not find
it anywhere).  This is the ONLY site I have found it and I'm in the process
of trying to put it on my web site to keep it alive for others to contribute
to.  So there was a good reason for doing it, just not economical for others
in other countries.  I apologize for this inconvinence, but I was concerned
that work having been done would be lost for good and I for one don't like
to rework anything.

Bjorn,  we both learned something today and we're both better for it.

Also you can use the portforwarding tools to reverse masquerade the web
servers. the port forwarding provides a load balancing mechanism.
buying a commercial solution is probably not the good choice in this
case.

 Well there is a simple but not really a load balancing idea that is to add
 several A records to differnt ip address to de DNS. f.i:
 
 wwwA192.168.0.1
 wwwA192.168.0.2
 wwwA 192.168.0.3
 
 etc etc etc
 
 Now every time a call comes to www the next ip address will be given to the quering 
host.
 This way you will have a spread load. It does'nt do failover though if one host is 
down,
 then the ip address wont be updated (at least in the BIND 4 I don't know if that has 
been
 changed in BIND 8 I can't imagine why).
 
 In our example you will lift the load 33.33% of each server.
 
 But you can build a so called dispatch agent your self using C or Perl with the 
socket
 libs.
 
 You read a config file with hosts/port number that acompany the "cluster"
 Now the deamon will check the load on all these servers say every 30 seconds (also 
works
 as a watchdog timer). If a call comes on a certain port you will redirect this call 
to the
 leased loaded server at that point.
 
 The most tricky part is getting the ip data and sending it to the right server over 
and
 over again. So you need to trace certain calls.
 
 For HTTP servers that is'nt that important since http is a non connective protocoll.

Hi, here's my situation.  I will be running a web site off my computer
which is hooked up to the net via a cable modem in a few weeks, after I
buy my domain.

What I'm looking to do is very simple, I want to set up a name server so
that *.mydomain.com will point to my computer.  I've read the man pages
and even a few RFCs to get more of an idea of what I need to do, but I
can't do anything so far.

Now this may be becuase I was trying to test it out using my computer's
host name, lyn57-25.optonline.net, but I get nothing when I try
www.lyn57-25.optonline.net for example.  Will I have to buy the domain
to test it out?  I would really appreciate any clear directions on what
I need to do to set this thing up.  Thanks!

From what you last posted, it seems only logical that the problem is not 
with linux, but more like the crossover cable to your cable modem or the 
cable modem itself.  I actually have the same config, except with a 2.2.5 
kernel and it has been working great.  The only problem was the fact that 
@home uses DHCP and for some reason, it wouldn't take my IP settings for 
the interface that is connected to it.  I would reboot to windows and 
never saw a problem.  I know this sounds wierd, but I just powered off the 
modem, rebooted it the same time with my linux box and for some reason it 
worked.  I know this is not a good technical reason, but for some reason 
it worked.  

sorry for the long story

Hi,

I have just got a Genius 56K PnP modem to replace my old ISA one. I
have set the BIOS to disable Com2 and told it I have a non PnP OS.
I have win98 on the same machine and according to it and the diags
that came with the modem it is working fine, however I cannot dial
out using "Dial up Networking".

I got the irq and the io ranges for the modem and booted into linux,
which is RedHat 6.0. I tried to use setserial to set the irq and i/o
ranges for /dev/ttyS1 that win98 had given me. The irq was fine, but
how do I set a pair of i/o ranges ? Win98 gave me two ranges for the
modem, but it seems that setserial will only allow me to set one
value for the ioport.

I set the ioport to be the low values of the first range win98
specified, but when I then ran setserial it did not identify the
UART correctly, it just said it was "unknown". When I ran it on
/dev/ttyS0 it was fine. Unsurprisingly when I ran minicom and
just typed "at" I got no reponse from the modem. Chat just said
that it couldn't get the terminal i/o.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what I may be missing. To the best
of my knowledge this is not a winmodem.

Thanks a lot.

Simon.

Also check to see if your NIC is using the 10BT jack, if it has multiple media
types. I had this same situation with my 3com 3c509b card - the card was in
autosense mode, and didn't pick up the 10BT connection in Linux. I had to get
the NIC config tool (from 3com web site) and statically set the network media
from auto to 10baseT/RJ45, and then save the config to the NIC EEPROM.

Before making this change, all my network info (i.e., ifconfig eth0) showed that
the link was fine, except for the fact that there was no link  :-)

Look in /var/log/messages and search for the string "eth0" to see what your NIC
is doing during the system boot. It was here that I was able to tell that the
card was coming up with the BNC connection active.

Cheers,
Bruce

p.s. if you post the info George suggested below, maybe add which NIC you are
using as well.

use gcc or make or?
If none of the above do, how else can i do it? (or if there is an easyer way).

(please send a cc to my mail address)

Thanks

Hi

Some question on remote execute hope your can help,

I want to use  rsh  for this purpose,  (through dial-up, ppp connection
which have been done),
but the linux rsh only said "rsh remote-system-name linux-command" where
the login name and
password is not specified, and when I do testing, 
1. if I don't make the .rhosts file is user home directory, -- acess denied
- OK undestand
2. if I put in, - wait infinite for this, why ?

Another question, how to skip a booting step in it cause infinite wait ? (
smbd cause this ) , which
never go though ( and I have to resolve REINSTALL the whole Linux, god )

Thank,

Not that hard.  I can give you more details if you decide to do it and

I spent the extra time to get the DHCP working so @home would not
contact me for any 'issues' of using a static address when I should

Subject: Linux with ISDN router ? Advice ?!
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:43:13 GMT

Greetings

We have a small LAN here of Win 95 machines, with an ISDN router on the
network. The router is set as the default gateway on the windows
machines, and this works easily and effectively.

I have now installed linux on one of the machines, and would like it to
access the internet in a similar way.

Is there a howto for configuring a network in this way ? Has anyone done
it, and know the pitfalls ? How do I set up the rooting, and is there
any danger of the linux machine demanding a dial-up every couple of
minutes during the night ?! And is there any smart software that might
be able to tell me whether the router is online or not ???

Any help or advice with this would be greatly appreciated !

Thank you.

Cheers

Jamie.

Greetings,
Has anyone managed to get the "insmod tlan
duplex=2" to work in real life ? When I try I get
a message "invalid parameter duplex" and the same
goes for speed.

On the bright side I also have a "Compaq Ethernet
NIC PCI DUAL 10/100" card with 2 10/100 ports on ,
I use the driver eepro100 and when I do

insmod eepro100 debug=255 options=0x30,0,0x50

it actually forces the card in to 100 mb - full
duplex , but when I give the same options in
conf.modules it just ignores the card and skips
loading it.


Any ideas/tips/hints ?

Thanks in advance

  There is a dhcp client process.

  I think it's called dhcpcd. Have a look at the man pages to get you
 started.

  man dhcpcd

Also, the Tlan chip used in most of these integrated NIC systems
doesn't
 always auto install.  You may need an "insmod tlan duplex=2" to bring
it
 up.

I have been trying to figure out which is the correct news group for
Linux kernel related (I mean system software as opposed applications)
discussions.  In case I posted in the wrong news groups, any pointers
would be apprecited.  Also, I am new to Linux.

After a while I have figured out that Linux v2.2 has support for SMP
and that the Linux v2.2.10 kernel uses a giant lock with a global run
queue for thread scheduling.  Am I right or am I mistaken?

Secondly, is Linux TCP/IP (more generally the networking code)
multithreaded/parallelised?  I downloaded the Linux v2.2.10 source and
am trying to figure out whether the TCP code is
multithreaded/parallelised or not, but it would be easier if someone
could give me some pointers on it.  Does the SMP version distribute
interrupts (specifically LAN) across all processors or do the
interrupts fire only one processor?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Subject: PPP session works, but cannot ping
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 17:15:43 GMT

I am having difficulty with PPP in getting to any IP addresses with my
ISP.  I am using Caldera OpenLinux V2.2.  After some initial
difficulties with the default gateway settings, I was able to dial into
the ISP and apparently setup a ppp session.  However, I cannot seem to
communicate with anythig outside my system.  I have reviewed the routing
table carefully, everything seems to be correct, but when I ping
anything through the gateway, I get no response.

I used the instructions from W.G. Unruh's "How to hookup PPP in Linux",
and essentially got the same results.  Unruh indicates that if you
cannot ping IP addresses, there is something wrong in the routing
configuration, but I certainly cannot find the problem.  Please review
my configuration and let me know what I am doing incorrectly.  I have
included a listing of:

PPP options file
chat command line
debug log dump
route -n output during ppp0 session
resolve.config file
host.config file
host.alow file
host.deny file

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Eric,

Let me know more about your requirement for a Firewall (i.e., Set of
Rules). If only to restrict your users to access certain sites, you can very
well use Squid Proxy Server. ( http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/ )

users and dial up users. We currently are running an NT domain with a T1

sure whether to use IP chains or whether there is an aplication for
download that will make it easier. I am looking for step-by-step

Apache's default config allows anyone to create a ~/public_html dir and it
will be accessible with http://localhost/~user

You really should download the latest version of LinuxConf
(www.solucorp.qc.ca) to do system config rather than using the control panel.

Well on my home system I disabled encrytion on the win machine (that
is samba default.  So you have a choice put 
password encryption = yes in the smb.conf {global] section and set up
smbpasswd  or disable it on the win machine.
That can be done in the registry (look for docs on this or maybe
someone here will repost) or on 95/98 CD their is a file in the tools
dir that is called (I think) plntext.inf) just highlight right mouse
it and install.  that turns of the encryption.

hope this helps.
 This site has a step by step howto for complete setup of samba.  steps
 for both linux and the win machine.  (and they really work G)

Thanks, that helped me a lot. Now the Samba is running and I can see the

  Assuming that you have set it up using YAST and recompiled the kernel
for ISDN support, all you need to do is type the following in a bash
terminal:  isdnctrl dial ippp0.  To hang up, type: isdnctrl hangup
ippp0.  The easiest way, by far, is to use kIsdn.  It is a really great

What version of Netscape are you using?  With all the v4.x

In the DMZ is our mail server, dns server and www server (all linux).

need a special hardware features (i know: much cache place and fast hard

 Hi all!

 We plan to use a socks5 Linux proxy in our network.
 Our network consits of a firewall (Checkpoint FW-1) with 3 ports: 1 for
LAN,
 1 for DMZ and 1 for the Internet.

 My question is: Where should we place the proxy server (which network) to
be
 sure that everything works and everything as secure as possible ?

Scalability concerns stem from the fear of not being able to give your
applications enough horsepower.  If you develop open Linux solutions,
you can always scale on up to any "big iron" UNIX you wish to.

Actually, I would think that Scalability stems from having the data
available available to your customers, when they need it.  Big Iron's days
are numbered.  I worked for an HMO that even clustered their IBM 390's to
ensure availability.  If you doubt the value of redundancy, check out a VAX
cluster sometime, two to four machines acting as a single entity, you could
run over one with a truck and the customers wouldn't notice.  That there is
the key, the pieces can die, but the system must be available, it's a notion
called fault tolerance.


Sun, IBM and HP all understand this (and that is why they support
Linux).


Can't speak for Sun, they've always been the Apple of the UNIX world to me.
IBM also sells, and supports NT, The Domino Server will run on Solaris, HP,
NT, OS/2 but Not Linux. (Lotus is an IBM subsidiary) HP and MS have a fairly
close relationship as well.  HP PC's and servers come with NT preloaded as
well, and some friends who work at the nearby HP campus speak fairly openly
of an NT port to their systems in the works.  Compaq supports Linux too, but
MS's website is almost completely Compaq machines.   You left out SGI, they
used to be called MIPS if you recall, an early NT supporter, and current
one.  Then there's Intel, remember them, they're part of the glue that keeps
this mess functioning they've got relationships with all these companies,
and more.  One must remember that Intel makes more than just processors.


If you develop NT applications, your scalability lies in how many
machines you can cluster.  (How many IIS servers does microsoft.com
have again?)


26 as I recall, in eight redundant clusters, supported by redundant fast
ethernet, supplied data by redundant SQL servers (something eBay should
consider) serving millions, yes millions of customers over redundant OC3
circuits, further backed up by multiple DS3's all from different vendors.
And the best part, as far as joe public is concerned, it's a single entity.

Okay, please don't flame me for posting this! :) 

I'm trying to get my friend set up on Linux.  Let's call him Dave.
Anyways, Dave has this problem.  Until he goes back to school, (let's
say Texas AM) in the fall, he needs to use GAyOL (Apologies to any
homosexuals, not the intention) to connect to the internet.  His
e-mail and what-not reside on GAyOL, and he's not particularly ready
to give that up.

So my question then becomes, is there a viable client out there for
AOL on linux?  Or is AOL really just an attractive client for a
standard PPP login? 

He's not interested in the silly banners or the services except for
e-mail, (which I'm guessing can be gotten with another mail client),
the web, telnet, ftp, etc...

Anyways, if anyone has any information, it would be GREATLY
appreciated!

Thanks again!

I don't know of a version of AOL for Linux or Unix platforms.  You might
try looking on AOL's website.  As long as you can get hostnames or IP
addresses for AOL's servers (ie mail.aol.com), you should be able to use
something like Netscape to access the mail.  The only problem is figuring
out which protocol to use.  If AOL uses POP(3) or IMAP, you are okay, and
there may be some other protocols that are compatible with Netscape or
pine, but you need IP addresses and protocols.

 Anyways, Dave has this problem.  Until he goes back to school, (let's

 homosexuals, not the intention) to connect to the internet.  His
 e-mail and what-not reside on GAyOL, and he's not particularly ready
 to give that up.

 So my question then becomes, is there a viable client out there for
 AOL on linux?  Or is AOL really just an attractive client for a
 standard PPP login?

 He's not interested in the silly banners or the services except for
 e-mail, (which I'm guessing can be gotten with another mail client),
 the web, telnet, ftp, etc...

 Anyways, if anyone has any information, it would be GREATLY
 appreciated!

I'm not sure if this will help but look on the web for something called TC
(Traffic Control) for Linux. The last Linux Journal talked about it, and it
seems like a way to control which IP stream has priority.

Else you could also play with "nice"

AOL does not support Linux (although there is at least the Instant
Messenger for Linux resp. some clones...). Moreover, they use a
proprietary protocol.
But you might find what you are looking for in one of my postings, an

Hi,

you/your girlfriend are/is lucky!
Indeed, it is possible to check one's AOL mail via Netscape under
Linux. There is a preview version of Netmail that works quite well
under Linux, I don't mean the other version of Netmail which requires
a plug-in for netscape.

To my best knowledge, NFS on Linux just doesn't work well.  I know they were
originally planning to fix it in 2.2, and I believe some improvements did go
in, but I'm not sure if it can be called 'fixed' yet.  I vaguely recall
something about Linux - Sun transfers as being one of the worst culprits.  I
think it had something to do with block sizes.

   Hah hah hah!  You _obviously_ have never tried it.  I have.  Trust me,
   no matter how bad you think Netscape is, IE for Solaris is much, much
   worse.

  cm Correct, I was drawing a logical conclusion from my bad
  cm experiences with Netscape on every platform.

No logical conclusion can be drawn when extrapolating from a sample base
of 1 (the number of platforms you've used IE on).

   IMO, Netscape on UNIX isn't too bad.  It's big and kinda slow, and
   until very recently would die on me much more than I expect from a
   UNIX tool, but since I started using Navigator 4.08 it's been
   pretty stable.  (I tried 4.5 for a while, but the bookmark
   drag-n-drop is busted so I went back to 4.08).

  cm I don't know about that, I've got a Dell OptiPlex 250 sitting next
  cm to a Sparc Ultra 10, and Netscape on the Ultra doesnt load as fast
  cm as IE on 98.

(a) That's the advantage of having the browser embedded in the OS ;)

(b) I didn't say anything about startup speed, or compare speeds at all:
in fact I said Netscape is "kinda slow".  I said it "isn't too bad",
and "it's been pretty stable".

(c) Who cares about startup speed?  I start the thing when I login, and
it just stays up for weeks until I logout again.

Oh yah, you're coming from a Windows environment, where startup
speed matters much more ;).

Actually, Netscape is more stable on my Win98 box than IE 4.  Maybe I
have an old or buggy version of IE, but my wife brings down Win98, hard,
regularly while using IE (maybe that's the _disadvantage_ of having the
browser in the OS?).

I've been monitoring this NG for this answer for a while,
and have seen much discussion about it, but not a lot
of answers I'm looking for.  I've also searched the WEB
for instructions and not had much (any) luck.

There was a short article in the latest Linux Gazette (No. 40 or 41
I believe) on setting up diald.  The URL is http://www.linuxgazette.com.


My setup: I'm using slakware 3.5, kernel 2.0.34.
IP masq - Diald on a home network, all work great, except it 
dials at the slightest action.

So here's my questions:
I'm using the example diald.conf from the mini-howto and 
I put it in /etc/ but is that the right place?  Because it's 
not ignoring things that the script says to ignore.

Where/what do I do with the diald.defs?  They appear
to define things in the diald.conf, but the howto
didn't say anything about them, just shows them.
Do they need to be somewhere when you build diald?
or are they interpreted during load and execution?

Finally, I also have samba installed, and it works great,
with one minor complaint. When I try to browse the linux
box from WIN (Nt and 95 network neighborhood), it causes 
diald to dial as well, and the linux box won't answer the 
Win box until the dialin is complete.  All I want is to
browse the directories in the linux box, I don't want it
to dial into just to do that.


[Snipped]

As far as the accessing samba causes link to go up problem, I'm not
sure.  There is an option in smb.conf about resolving netbios lookups
using DNS.  Do you have it turned off?  maybe that would help.  Also,
if you configured your linux machine to be a caching name server for
your windows machines, I imagine you could squelch the external
packets.

If you find a solution please post it!  This is clearly, as you have
perceived, a common problem.

I know people have posted rules that can be used with diald to keep
the above from happening.  I did not have the time to search to find
them.

One suggestion I have is did you set up a hosts file on the Windows
machine?  It has the same format as the hosts file on the Linux machine.
It goes in the c:/windows directory.

Something else to look at is what networking protocols are being used
on the Windows machine.  The only one I am using is TCP/IP, not NetBui
or whatever MS Windows uses.

While at the Linux Gazette web site, look for the No. 20 issue I
believe.  It was from August 1997.  Look for the Weekend Mechanic
article.  It covers some of this.

A problem I had at one time was that Netscape was set to check email
at my ISP every 10 minutes.  I did not realize it.  I spent 2-3 weeks
trying to figure that one out until I realized what was happening.

I have the diald.conf file in the /etc directory.

The other files of mine are in /usr/lib/diald.

The diald.defs file has not been changed.  I only changed the
standard.filter file to lengthen the time diald stayed up.

 I have debian linux 2.1 SLINK with kernel 2.0.36 and am trying to setup

 So far I have:
 
 - copied the file subs-patch-1.37.gz to my /usr/src/linux directory.
 - applied the patch with:  zcat subs-patch-1.37.gz  |  patch -p1
 - run make config
 
 This is where my problem lies - I can't see the
 CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPPORTFW option.
 
 It doesn't show up when I do a make config.
 
 I realize I must be missing a step here.

Did you enable EXPERIMENTAL in the config? You also need to have IP
Masquarade enabled.

You should be able to use the policies tool with the win9x cd to store the
workstation registry anywhere you want then go to each workstation and tell
it to use user level seciurity and where the file is.
Not tried with linux but used with a win95 acting as a basic server once.
worked fine.

 It is a great server but unless I'm wrong you can't configure user level

Subject: double nic problem with 2.2.x
Date: 17 Jun 1999 11:58:28 GMT


Hi

I have a problem using two networkcards in 
kernel 2.2.{9,10}, probably other 2.2.x's too.

The problem is that I can only reach the nic/IP that has the 
defaultroute, from outside our network. The two nics are connected
to two different ISPs. 
I have routes for both networks, and I have a correct defaultroute.

The networks card are 1 AMD PCnet32 FAST+, and 1 3Com 3c509b.

Any ideas?

thanks
Robert

Move the ethernet card to different slot and it will be assigned a different
interrupt.

Robin Jackson wrote in message ...
I have posted this problem before.

My Adaptec 1640 PC card SCSI controller and PC Card Ethernet controller are
sharing the same interrupt.

NOTHING I have tried will make them use different interrupts.

I have read the Diskless HOWTO and the man pages on BOOTPD and TFTPD.

I understand that the client sends it ethernet address out on a broadcast
packet that a server will respond to (if it can) by replying with the nodes
assigned IP (or DHCP gets involved I am worried about fixed IP right now).

BOOTP config file has the file name etc.  I know that BOOTP uses tftp, but
does bootp invoke tftp to push the kernel to the client or does the bootp
client, on the node, invoke the tftp client on the node after the node
receives its IP and the servers IP from the reply?

In short:

Which system initiates the file transfer using tftp, server or client?
Does bootp invoke tftp directly?  If not, how is it done?

Michael

Don't get an external "modem" type ISDN adapter. It uses com ports to
communicate and will usually limit you to 115kbps. Get an ISDN router instead
they are nearly the same price (Netgear anyway) and work great.

Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:29:28 GMT

I am connecting two networks, 192.168.1.0/24 (A) and 192.168.11.0/24
(B), via ppp. Gateway B, 192.168.11.1, has ip forwarding enabled and
successfully makes a connection to network A. Gateway A, 192.168.1.1,
also has ip forwarding enabled, and in addition has a firewall up
because it also serves as the internet gateway for network A. I can
ping from any machine in network A to any machine in network B.
However, I cannot ping anything but gateway A from network B. The ping
returns "request timed out" errors. If I try to telnet from network B
to a machine on network A, except for gateway A, I get nothing.

I DO have network B setup as a trusted network to network A. What could
be the problem? Here is the script by Ian Hall-Beyer I use to setup my
firewall:

Subject: linux on a floppy to replace dumb terminal
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 20:09:43 GMT

I'm working on finding a floppy version of linux that will let me telnet
(VT100) into an AIX box and provide lpr support.

Currently, there are a number of terminals (IBM 3151) but they are
getting quite expensive.  I'm thinking that a low-end PC with terminal
emulation software on it will do the trick better and that would also
give me the ability to put spooled printers anywhere there is a
terminal and it eliminates the need for a terminal server at remote
sites.

Has anyone done this...or have any tips for me?

But Linux != Solaris, the benchmark is between Linux and NT.

No, the benchmark is between NT, and linux+samba
If you ran it on solaris, you will then have a better idea of how much of it
is linux's fault, and how much is samba's.

What new demand dialing? AFAIK the demand dialing in 2.[012].x is all
the same from the user file standpoint. See 'man pppd' for the options.

Something like this (from memory):

# you must have an IP address
#   if you have static IP, fix the values here
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2
#   if your ISP supplies a new IP via DHCP, uncomment these lines
#ipcp-accept-local
#ipcp-accept-remote
#
# demand dialing with idleout
demand
idle 600
#
# place the call
connect **FILL_THIS_IN**

The only slightly tricky thing is that you must have an IP to demand
dial, but you can accept IP from your ISP. I am using this on 2.0.33,
2.0.36, 2.1.131, 2.2.5 and 2.2.9 for sure, maybe some others, but it
didn't change from a user point.

Subject: Linux Workstation with WinNT 4 DNS-Server
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 07:42:24 +0200

Hi all,

we are using a secondary dns-server running under WinNT4-server in our
network.

Now we would like to have access with Linux-Workstations on it. After
editing resolv.conf (nameserver 192.168.0.25) I can't get any access (no
server found). If I try to access the dns-server from Win95 oder WinNT-PCs
then it works.

ping 192.168.0.25 works fine from the linux ws.

Do I have to edit the registry on the dns-server or what can I do ?

I have heard something about using unencrypted passwords with samba. Will
that help ?

Regards,

Michael

Am trying to forward everything for port 80 on a debian 2.1 box running
2.0.36 kernel.

Have a web server on a Win98 host 192.168.0.9 that is functioning correctly.

I issue the command on the linux box with ip 192.168.0.20:

ipportfw -A -t 192.168.0.20/80 -R 192.168.0.9/80

Nothing happens when i connect using the web browser to 192.168.0.20 -
doesn't connect.
Even when I try and forward port 10222 say to port 80 on the windows box
doesn't work either entering :10222 after the URL.

Is there anything else I have to enable to get ipportfw to work ?  Here is
what I get with an ipportfw -L

Prot Local Addr/Port  Remote Addr/Port

TCP 192.168.0.20/80  192.168.0.9/80

Subject: ssh connection = network connection?
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 22:49:20 -0700

If thru a firewall I can remote login from inside-host to outside-host via
socksified ssh, can I somehow turn that connection into a network
connection? My goal is to be able to ping outside-host from inside-host.
How? Assume both ends are Unix systems.

Options such as using socksified application are not feasible since the
firewall only allow ssh traffic to a particular outside-host.

TIA,

Subject: UDP receive buffer size  64 K ?
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 08:23:24 GMT

Hi,

There seems to be a limit on the size of the UDP receive buffer under
Linux (RH 5.2, stock kernel 2.0.36). The default is 64 K, and I'm
unable to set it to a higher value. (But I can reduce the value...)

Is there a way to get a 256 KB UDP receive buffer, by applying a patch,
of maybe upgrading to kernel 2.2?

Thanks

I figure out how to force the IRQ: through BIOS settings, but the main 
problem still remains:
 
If I'm trying to access that computer from the network the connectivity is 
gone after 10 seconds...but if I'm transfering something from that 
computer everything is OK.
In the ifconfig output there are 2 values that are changing:
 
"carrier": from 0 to 1
and "errors": from 0 to 1
when carrier and erros are 0 everiyhing is OK.

Hello,
I'm trying to install a network card Compaq NETFLEX 3/P(tlan.o module) and
here is what I got:

1.ifconfig output:
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:5F:D4:6F:84
  inet addr:192.168.0.3  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

  RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
  Interrupt:17 Base address:0xf4f0

2. console output:

Jun 14 19:48:45 linux1 kernel: TLAN driver, v1.0, (C) 1997-8 Caldera, Inc.
Jun 14 19:48:45 linux1 kernel: TLAN:  eth0 irq=17 io=f4f0, Compaq
NetFlex-3/P, Rev. 16
Jun 14 19:49:02 linux1 kernel: TLAN:  eth0: Link forced.



2. message when I'm trying to use  "insmod tlan irq=5 io=0xf4f0 
speed=10Mbs"

/lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_irq
/lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_io
/lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_speed

As you can see the IRQ detected is 17. I know(with a DOS program)
that the card is on 5 ...

I did tried kernel 2.2.6,7,8,9 with Caldera 2.2,SUSE 6.1 and Redhat 6.1.
I  tried to put as a parameter in conf.modules:
 "alias eth0 tlan
options tlan io=0xf4f0 irq=5"
and I got the same message: "invalid parameter parm_irq" etc...

What's strange is that after I load the module..with that strange IRQ...I
have conectivity for about 2-3 min...and then nothing...it's really weird.
I've changed 3 cards, I've changed the slot on the mainboard,I've enable 
and
disable PNP in BIOS..I did everything!!!

So how can I force to use that IRQ(5)? Or am I doing something wrong here?

My route.conf works fine, except one line.
i have a bunch of stuff along the lines of:
123.123.123.123 the.gw.IP.number  the.netmask  the.dev
and they all work. but then one line:
1.0.8.0 its.gw.IP.number  255.255.255.0eth1
doesnt get installed. i cant remember the exact error message during boot,
(and i cant get to it without booting this machine which i cant do right
now for various reasons), but the funny thing is, instantly after boot up
i can execute the same exact line with:
route add -net 1.0.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw its.gw.number
and it works perfectly.
what could be the problem, that it refuses to do it at boot time as it
should, yet it works perfectly fine after booting?

With NT4.0, you'll additionally need smbpasswd (part of the SAMBA

Look for the following entry in your sendmail.cf file and modifiy it to the

This tells sendmail to re-address (masquarade) your outbound emails from

this change to take effect.

You can use smbclient or smbmount to view Wintel (Win9x or WinNT) server shares,
etc.  You can even do this between Linux boxes (it makes it a lot easier to
transfer files).  Anyway, make sure you edit the smb.conf file to fit the
network you are on (ie workgroup, etc.).  Once this is complete, you should be
able to use smbmount and smbclient to view NT share and (making sure password
encryption is enabled in the smb.conf file) access Linux share from Wintel
machines.

Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 18:17:07 -0700

Greetings,

I apologize if this post is redundant, but my previous post doesn't seem to
have made it.

Anyway, I have constructed a home network that includes a Linux host that
serves as a front end to a DSL internet connection. There are 2 Win98
machines on a private net (192.168.1.xxx) that share the internet
connection. I am also using IP_Masquerading.

Everything works great, when it works. The problem I am having is this.
After a period of time the Linux box will quit forwarding any requests to
the Internet and for all intents and purposes 'hangs'. Usually a reboot of
the Linux box will re-initialize everything and I am back in business.
Sometimes I need to reboot one or both of the Win98 machines too.

I can see from the messages log in /usr/var that I am getting a flood of UDP
packets from an address within the ISPs network. Ipfwadm is dutifully
denying the request but it would appear that this UDP flood is a possible
cause of the hangs. I am wondering if this is a hacker attack or just some
wayward machine 'spamming' the network with junk UDP packets.

What I am wondering is:

1. What patches do I need to load to RH5.2? I checked the Errata site at Red
Hat and there are a number of updates to 5.2, some effect networking and
some do not.

2. What log files can I look at that will help me determine if there is a
security breach? Is there anything beyond what is found in /var/log?

3. Do these Masquerading rules look correct?

For input rules: Default Policy: Deny
typeprot   source destination  ports
acc all  home.net/24   anywhere  n/a
home.net is my private network (192.168.1.0)
deny   all  home.net/24   anywhere  n/a
acc all  anywhere   207.xxx.xxx.xxx/24n/a
207.xxx.xxx.xxx is my ISP network, I edited out the specific numbers for
security
acc all  anywhere   anywhere  n/a
deny   all  anywhere   anywhere  n/a

For output rules: Default Policy: Deny
typeprot   source destination  ports
acc all  anywherehome.net/2   n/a
home.net is my private network (192.168.1.0)
deny   all  anywherehome.net/24 n/a
deny   all  home.net/24anywhere n/a
deny   all  anywhere home.net/24n/a
acc all  207.xxx.xxx.xxx/24   anywhere n/a
207.xxx.xxx.xxx is my ISP network, I edited out the specific numbers for
security
acc all  anywhere anywhere n/a
deny   all  anywhere anywhere n/a

For forwarding rules: Default Policy: Deny
type   prot   source destination  ports
acc/mall home.net/24anywhere n/a
accall anywhere anywhere n/a

I am confused by lines like:

acc all anywherehome.net/24   n/a

followed by

deny   all anywherehome.net/24   n/a

First I accept then I deny everything. Is the second rule not invoked since
it is overridden by the first rule?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
TC

There's no "noipaddress" option, there's noip and noipdefault.  With
the noip option you deny pppd IPCP negotiation and IP communication.
The noipdefault means that pppd is not to get an IP address from the
local hostname, which is often appropriate.

Very likely.  What you mean is that the peer supplies DNS addresses with
the Microsoft hack of IPCP to do this.  That hack is not a part of the
standard PPP protocol and very unlikely to become a part of it.

It's doubtful that the DNS addresses will change very often if at all.
Once you know the DNS addresses you probably don't need the peer to
supply them time-after-time, dropping the usepeerdns option and putting
the addresses in /etc/resolv.conf should work.  Otherwise you'll have
to do something to get it linked to the actual file that has the DNS
addresses along the lines suggested in the README.

It's surely significant that this option isn't in the man pages, the
pppd maintainer certainly knows it's a hack.

I have Samba working fine and can mount drives on my 9x/NT boxes from
Linux using smbmount.  However, it would be nice if it could be done
using ordinary 'mount', using the normal mount syntax - and,
eventually, to be done via entries in the /etc/fstab file.

Is this possible?

"man mount" says this on the subject:

Mount options for smbfs
   Just like nfs, the smb  implementation  expects  a  binary
   argument  (a  struct  smb_mount_data)  to the mount system
   call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and  the
   current  version  of  mount  (2.6c) does not know anything
   about smb.

 which seems to say, "You're on your own in getting this to work".

I can do: smbmount //machine/service /mnt -U someuser -I machine
but when I do: mount -t smbfs //machine/service /mnt
it doesn't work.  The question is: How to pass those other args to
mount that smbmount needs?

Hi ,

Just installed Redhat 6.0.  The HOWTO on Ethernet says the tulip driver
will work with the Etherfast 10/100 cards, with the exception of some
proprietary PNIC chipsets.  Apparently the DEC chipsets work with
tulip.  The Linksys support page doesn't say anything about chipsets,
but simply states the tulip driver works.

Is there another driver for LNE100TX cards?  I do not have the DEC
chipset (The large chip on the card has a Linksys stamp).

I loaded the tulip module (I think) and get the following message when
booting:
'Unknown Tulip-style PCI ethernet chip type 11ad c115 detected: not

Hi,

First a word of advice, do not do any tasks except administrative tasks
as root. Create a user account for normal everyday tasks such as
accessing the WWW, browsing the newsgroups etc. Now that's done with,
let's get on with your question.

In a nutshell, diald is not the one that is answering the phone. You
most probably has installed mgetty or a fax program that is doing so.
Look in /etc/inittab and comment out the lines that starts up mgetty or
any other terminal devices except for mingetty (which runs your login
terminal). Next issue an 'init q' at the command prompt as root.

I'm having some problems with diald on Rh5.1 and hope someone can help. The
problem is that when I enable diald and it dials in, it freezes after the
modems negotiate. (I can kill it, but it will just hang there if I don't.)
When I launch my connection manually, it works fine.

I am connecting using chap to ATT worldnet, I use a script to connect
rather than the GUI within Xwindows. I have been to the diald home page and
read the FAQ. I followed the instuctions for the section on diald freezing
up during the connection process, without any luck. I also have IP
Masquerading set up to put my little lan on the net. I have rebuilt the
kernel with slip support for diald.

Here are the varius scripts and config files I am using.

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a Dlink DE220PT 10BaseT ISA card in Redhat Linux 5.2
and I don't seem to be able to use the NE2000 driver as you've descibed
in your post. The installation program reports that it's "unable to find
the hardware anywhere in your system". I've used the D-link setup
program to turn off the PnP feature, and to set the IRQ and Base I/O
values but still, the installation program fails to detect my card.
Could you tell me how you managed to get your card to work? Thanks a
lot.

Devon.

 what I did is using another "more" ne2000 compatible card, the best is
ISA
 card for the installation

It
 work fine.

 Note that the dlink card I have disable the PnP and setting the

The ppp-on script here has a companion ppp-on-dialer script for chat
to dial out and connect.  Dunno what happens if the modem is already
connected when chat does it's thing, but maybe "looped back?"

Rereading your post maybe the minicom reference is just to show you can
connect to the ISP, and not a part of a procedure you are using to get
PPP working.  A grossly misconfigured ppp-on-dialer script could also
cause the "looped back."

One easy-to-make mistake, for a chat script with the expect/sends as chat
arguments, is an expect/send line that has no `\' escape at the end, or
one that has a space immediately following the `\' thus preventing the
eol from being escaped.  Excluding the last line of chat arguments of
course, where the eol is not escaped.

Otherwise post your scripts.

 You can have up to 30 attachments and a total of 185 meters on thinnet
 coax.  Note that a 10BaseT hub is actually a repeater. They are
 not all that expensive and some include coax connectors if you want to
 keep your existing segments.  Coax should handle your situation but
 10Bt tends to isolate problems and it is easy to add and disconnect
 stations without disturbing the others.

 Secondly : what is the maximum distance that  a Hub-NIC-BNC cable
peer
 to peer network can sustain at 10base 100 Ethernet LAN ?

 Hubs are typically simple repeaters.  An all-10Meg hub allows the
 full 185 meters on the coax, 100 meters on each 10BaseT. If it also allows
 100Meg, it is acting as a switch although it may combine all of
 each speed and only act as a switch between the two.  There are
 differences between brands in respect to the way the different
 speed connections are handled.  The 100Bt length is also 100 meters
 (each) but the cable must be rated at cat 5.

   Les Mikesell
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought that  the total length of thinnet (coax) was 500m (hence the
reason it is used for longer runs)
A twisted pair can only be 100m between hub and computer (90m cat 5 + 10m
patch)
With Thicknet (AUI) having a total length of 1500m and fibers are something
like 20km without a repeater

Tim



Tim,

The IEEE 802.3 ethernet specs are very clear on maximum cable length.

Thinnet (10Base2 is the official term) is 185 meters total bus length over
RG-58U coax.  Back when Thinnet was the dominant media, a number of ethernet
manufacturers (including 3Com) made all their Thinnet hardware to run overspec
to 1000 feet.  It worked well as long as you made sure everything on an
overspec cable run was overspec hardware and only used top quality connectors.

I built an emergency campus network after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake by
running overspec thinnet through trees between buildings and putting 3Com
repeaters in each building.  Don't try it at home or anywhere else for that
matter.  I'm still trying to figure out what kind of drugs they gave me to get
me to agree to it...  The squirrels absolutely loved it, it was a new highway
system for them.  Yes, squirrels can run on cable that small.

Thicknet (10Base5 is the official term) is 500 meters total bus length over
RG-8U coax.  I may have that coax type wrong, it's been a long time since I
have worked with Thicknet.

10BaseF is 2000 meters point to point over 62.5/125 multimode fiber.

10BaseT is 100 meters point to point over Cat 3 twisted pair.

100BaseT is 100 meters point to point over Cat 5 twisted pair. 

100BaseF is 500 meters point to point between repeaters (half-duplex) using
62.5/125 multimode fiber and 2000 meters between switches (full-duplex) using
the same media.

There was a broadband coax spec (10Broad20?), but I forget the details on it.
It's obsolete anyway.

There is nothing in the specs about patch cable length.  The specs only care
about total cable length.  Thicknet and AUI are not the same.  AUI refers to
the cable (using a 15 pin D type connector) between a transceiver and the rest
of the ethernet interface.  I think the maximum length for AUI cables was 75
meters.  There are implementations of fiber ethernet that run over singlemode
fiber that run

Hi Jay,

 When I boot 2.2.10  *with the same conf.modules* it finds eth0 as eepro. It

You'll have to assure it does find the the DEC tulip one too. This is
just because there will be no eth1 without an eth0.

 How do I control which is eth0 and eth1 ( I thought it was conf.modules! ).

No. It's controlled by the order the drivers are loaded.

 I've care less about getting both cards to work ( actually, I've given up ).

That's your fault. And I don't understand why you do not care of getting
them working - it should'nt be that difficult.

Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 01:54:09 +0200

Hi,
i'm trying to set up a linux server in my office, using SAMBA, to connect 4
windows boxes and to provide them the internet access. I setted up the
smb.conf and also the windows boxes. These ones recognize the server
(because when i shut the server down a message like that appears "unable to
locate a server for the domain ecc. ecc.") but the password seems to be
wrong.
Now i used the same names, the same group of my linux users and i also
synchronized the smb and linux passwords.
I read in some newsgroups that there may be some prblems with the windows
registrers but i really don't know where the problem may be, also because i
made an error installing linux and i started the NIS service without setting
it out without knowing how to disable it and if it may cause problems with
samba.

Thanx

Your opinion only.  Heard of service packs - they are fixes.  And also free.

In order for one to legally use a service pack or a patch from Microsoft they 
must have purchased a Windows license.  So it costs me money to use those 
patches, therefor one could say they are not free.  Just like IE, you must 
legally have Windows to use it.  $$  

So an opensource patch is free, a Microsoft patch is not.  Its a stretch, I

Hi,
I have recently added Red Hat 5.2 to an NT 4 network using tcp/ip.  This
linux machine is able to ping all the machines on the LAN, except for
the NT 4 Server (which is also the gateway to the internet).  The weird
thing is that the NT Server can ping the linux machine no problem!!
I have noticed that the linux machine seems to have added an entry in
the routing table of the NT Server.  When this entry is removed and the
server rebooted, the linux machine will be able to ping the NT svr and
the internet no problem, but afterwards the entry reappears in the
routing table of the NT server and I am back to the same problem.

Help PLEASE!!!

You either need a hub, or a crossover cable.  You mentioned

Hi Folks.

Here is my dilemma:

I have two computers. One is a Win95 box, and the other is a Linux
machine running RedHat 6.0. They are networked and each box happily
communicates with the other. What I want to do now is set up the Linux
box so that:

1. If I (or my girlfriend) fires up Internet Explorer on the Windows
box, the Linux server will dial a connection if the URL isn't local.

2. The Linux box should accept email from the Windows machine and once
or twice a day dial up and forward this mail to my ISP. At the same
time, it should download any mail waiting for us in the pop mailbox and
provide pop access to the Windows client.

3. If an email is marked "urgent", the Linux box should dial up
immediately and send the email.

Can anyone help me? I've heard a lot about diald, but where do I get it?
(man diald says that there is no page for it, so I assume I'm going to
have to download it).

Thanks,

Hugh Saunders

You also have to make sure the raid0 module is pre-loaded at boot time.

Make a new Ram disk that includes the raid0 module. Something like:

mkinitrd --with=raid0 /boot/initrd-raid-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`

Then edit your /etc/lilo.conf and change the

 initrd=/boot/...

line to use the .img file you've just created. Run lilo and reboot.

Details are in the mkinitrd man page.

Unfortuantely the Raid documenation supplied with RedHat 6.0 is not very
clear on this subject.

 Hi all,

 I have a question concerning Samba's messenger service (under Windows
 known as WinPopup): Under NT you can use the "net send" command to send a
 popup message to another computer. Under Samba that works fine with the
 "smbclient -M" command if you know the computer's name.

 But: Windows NT also allows to use the "net send" command with a USER's
 name, i.e. "net send charly" where charly is the login name of a user.
 Then the popup message will be delivered directly to the computer where
 the user is logged in at this moment. If the person is not logged in, you
 get an error message.
 This is a great function because you don't need to know the name of the NT
 Workstation to send a message to a certain person: "net send USER" is able
 to locate the user (if he is logged in under NT).

 Is there any similar function in Samba ? The "smbclient -M" command only
 accepts computer names but no user names.

 Thanks in advance and please excuse my probably bad english ;-))

 some things you might want to do is first do a dmesg to see if you

 for example ne2000 compatible card

 now after a reboot, you should see eth0 when you do a dmesg |more.
 
 From there you can go back to your netconf, or you can do a:
 ifconfig eth0 (ipaddress) (mask)
 
 Hope this helps

it will work this way.  
You either need a hub, or a crossover cable.  You mentioned
neither, but I appologise in advance if you had already
knew this but forgot to mention it.

 ProxyPass / http://10.x.y.z
 
 10.x.y.z is a computer connected to this firewall.
 
 When I start Netscape on the computer, I can connect
 to 10.x.y.z and everything works fine. When I connect
 to the second ethernet port (externally). I get the page

 Since I had the same problem when I tried to use

 Share what you know. Learn what you don't.



Your  dhcp server will look at the MAC address of your nic card every so
often and update the ip and hopefuly assign you the same one everytime (no
promises). But you also need your ISP's DNS to add your www.yourname.come
to their database (probably for a charge) so the rest of the world cn find
you. See if your ISP will assign you 2 static IP's, one for the primary PC
and one for the secondary. Then you have to tell Internic which one is
primary ip and which is secondary ip. The trick is getting your ISP to
assign you static ip's. Can they (yes), will they (maybe). Hope this helps
and hope it is accurate.

I agree that the possibility for shooting yourself in the foot is there,
but in some cases a systemic problem (higher latency) favors a systemic
solution. I wish I could easily turn this on and off on a system wide

I got about 20% boost in ftp rate, not enough to solve the problem, but

*ponder* I don't think it can be accomplished through Win9X. It can be
done with NT I know,  using the RAS  and a private network.  I'm not that
familiar with 98 so I'm not totally sure. The problem lies in the fact
that win9x wasn't really designed to be server OS, and is peer-to-peer,
or a client.

There might be some software out there (ie WinGate) that might help,
though. Good luck in your efforts.

Another option to investigate (if you care to spend the money) is the
new Windows 98 "Second Edition", that was just released on June 10th.
Kind of like OSR2 was to Windows 95, the "Second Edition" version of
98 is supposed to add some new features to 98.  One of them is
peer-to-peer modem-sharing like WinGate, I would think, but I dont
know all of the particulars since I havent played with "Second
Edition" yet.  I would ask around first, to see if anyone could give
you more specific info about its abilities and limitations.

I saw it retailing for $79 U.S. for the upgrade version, and $179 U.S.
for the "no previous version of Windows required" version.  I'm sure
those were full list prices, and you could probably do better at the
discounters.

yes this is correct (the message before me.)  however you need to look at
your zip drive if it has 'autodetect" written on it then you have the newer
version of the drive( if you have bought your drive in the last 2 years or
so this will be the case)  if you have the newer drive you need to use the
module imm.o not ppa.o  you can get this from the internet or from my
attachment.  second if you want to use your zip drive and print you can do
so at the same time if you are using kernel 2.2.x I cal play an mp3, read
another file, and write a file to my zip drive all at the smae time!  as
well at print at the same time as I am doing all of that!  any way if you

  How do you connect an iomega ZIP 100 Drive to a Linux box (parallel

 I have one of these parallel version drives and I use it for back-ups and
 downloading to.
 I don't know if this will work in any other version than RH 5.2.

 First you must re-compile your kernel (read the KERNEL HOW-TO if you're
 not sure how to) with parallel support and Iomega Zip Drive as modules.
 Then you type this command: "mkdir /mnt/zip" (omitting quotes).

 When you want to use the ZIP drive you type this command: "insmod ppa"
 (omitting quotes)

 To mount this drive, the command is: "mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip" -
 provided the zip disk is MS-DOS formatted.

 When you want to use the printer you must remove the ZIP drive module
 like this:
 "rmmod ppa"

 And install the printer module like this:
 "insmod lp"

 Any other questions don't hesitate to e-mail direct to:
 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hope this gets you on your way to using your ZIP Drive.

 
 
  I read the HOW-TO and tried the 'insmod ppa' command but to no avail.
  The HP 4L printer which is connected to the ZIP drive which in turn is
  conencted to the parallel port (LPT) works perfectly.  Obviously the
  cable connectivity is good.  Any solutions or suggestions?

   It may not mean anything.  Is the ppp connection always up?  Does it have
a static address?  If no, then maybe the last machine to dial into your ISP
had tried a connection but quit before the distant host could respond.  In
the meantime, you logged on, got the previous machine's IP address and
inherited the traffic bound for a now defunct port.

I've been having a hell of a time trying to get my linux

in the linux machine, and I thought they were ok when it said
"Brining up interface for eth0 and eth1" and then responded with
an "ok" for both.  But I have been unable to ping my NT box or
vice versa with a connect the 2 with a cross-over cable, or a home
made cross over.  I've been working with NT in networks for some
time so I'm quite sure it's configured properly, but can't seem to connect
those isa cards working in Linux.


I just noticed that when linux boots with the cross-over cables connected
that paticular card fails the startup test.

I am attempting to set up my Linux server for ip forwarding/masqerading
for a Windows95 client to reach the internet. I've discovered that even
though I've configured my 2.2.7 kernel for firewalls, ip forwarding,
masquerading, etc., I cannot get ipfwadm to work (I apparently do not
have ipchains.)

When I attempt:

ipfwadm -F -p deny

I get the error message:

I suspect I will get nowhere until I get this problem resolved. I must
be missing something. Also, if I download an ipchains.tar.gz file from

This is strange... I followed everything in the how-to's and also on
some other web sites that I was told to visit 

http://www.eunuchs.org/linux/samba/ 

and 

http://us1.samba.org/samba/samba.html

Samba and windows 98 are still giving me problems.  I think the
problems might be on the Win98 side.  

The machines could: ping each other, windows could telnet to the linux
machine (but I could not log in as root)

The linux machine could see the windows, when I type :

smbconfig -L localhost

Windows networking could not see linux or even itself !!!

the smb.conf is more or less stock, when I made a any changes it would
stop working.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the "guest" line in the
smb.conf, or the encrypted password in win 98 ??? 

What do you think ?

BUT I don't see the reason I have no networking at all on the windows
machine...I'm using TCP/IP, should I add something else ???

Also, could someone please post their smb.conf, that might help

Thanks,

peter

Why mess with winsock if there is ip_masquerading?


Ken Cormack wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]...
Hello, all.

I'm seeing related postings about this, and since I am in a similar
boat myself, I was wondering if anyone has given any thought to
creating an "MS Proxy-fied" version of the Linux IP stack?

I'm not talking about the "Socks" functionality, or even the "Reverse
Proxy" stuff...  Specifically, I refer you to the "Winsock Proxy"
client functionality of MS-Proxy 2.0.

If I understand MS Proxy's "Winsock Proxy" functionality, a Win9x or
other MS Proxy-supported client's WINSOCK.DLL gets re-named, the
Proxy's own Winsock version gets put into place, and calls the renamed
original file's services when needed.

The advantage to this is that you dont need to putz with each
individual client app's own proxy settings (when they are available
and/or supported), or try recompiling every client app  to "socksify"
it, etc.  If it calls the services of WINSOCK.DLL, it just normally
works (for outbound stuff, anyway.  For inbound UDP's etc, well, thems
is the breaks.)

It's far more elegant (and much less a hassle for the end-user) to
attack the problem at the point of commonality on the client, and you
gain the advantage of making many otherwise proxy-ignorant apps
available to the user through the proxy.

It strikes me as practical to impliment something similar in Linux,
"intercepting" calls to the IP stack, and in a fashion similar to the
MS client, tweak the packets on-the-fly, steering them to the MS Proxy
server.

Adding the needed functionality and configuration parameters as
configurable options to the kernel "make config" or "make menuconfig"
would be terrific.  If it could be implimented as a module, it might
be even better.

A few of you will suggest using a Linux server with IP Masq'ing
instead of MS-Proxy, but in situations where that is just not an
option, wouldn't it be better in the long run to consider such a
cross-platform coexistance?  (Especially if you want to make Linux a
more attractive option for corporate desktops?)

Just a thought.  Any comments?

Ken

Subject: Corrupted eMail files
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 16:44:39 +0800

Hi there,

I have a problem with my eMail.  When I receive a file over about 100K (I
guess it is possible that all messages are being corrupted and I can't
notice it on smaller messages) it seems to get corrupted.  Some characters
get translated or if there is an attachment, then I cannot open it.

The problem is only for incoming eMail ie. eMail that I receive, I can send
files as large as I like and there is no problem.  Web surfing seems to be
OK, but again it may be that I dont notice the corruptions on smaller
transfers.

I have a socks firewall, and if I try  to access my mail without the
firewall I dont seem to have the same problem.  This would seem to indicate
a problem with the firewall, but then shouldn't the problem be for traffic
going both ways.

The firewall machine has a NE2000 and 3Com 3c509 ethernet card - any
problems with the driver.  I tend to think it is the pop3 server, but was
wondering if anyone else had any ideas.

Cheers
Craig

Subject: Strange problem... does eth* discovery order matter?
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 07:16:20 GMT



For quite some time I had been running a dual NIC
linux box under redhad 5.x.  After a fairly
painful upgrade (you name it, fun with bios,
disks, etc.), I was up an running with Mandrake
6.0

Previously I had my DSL modem connected to eth0, a
10Mb onboard ethernet card using dhcp[client].
The second NIC, 100Mb was connected to my internal
network with a static ip, and was running fine
with IP masquerading, etc.

So even though I managed to lose all my config
files, I didn't expect too much trouble recreating
the previous setup.  No such luck!

Everything works fine when I havethe 100Mb card
connected to the DSL, using dhcp and the 10Mb card
using a static ip.  But clearly this is not ideal
and it makes much more sense to have the 100Mb
card connected to the LAN.

The primary symptoms (other than it not working!)
are:
-I cannot reliably get the 10Mb card up using
dhcp.
-Even when I do, I get logs of "kernel: eth0:
transmit timed out, status 0073, resetting."

I have mucked around with it for quite a few
hours, and am not happy.

-How is the kernel discovery order

 Which speed? I suspect that it is given the computer to modem speed,
 rather than the modem to modem speed.

It's just the serial port speed (from the pppd global variable
"baud_rate").

You can catch the modem's initial handshake speed via chat and then
pick it up in the ip-up script, though.  This is done using the "-r"
option on chat to set up a "report" file, and then using the "REPORT
CONNECT" keywords in the chat script to tell chat that any string
beginning with the word "CONNECT" should be copied to the file.

This is just the raw connect string.  You'll have to configure the
modem properly to report DCE rather than DTE rate, and do some light
parsing on the contents of the file.

You should probably also note that initial connect rate probably isn't
as interesting as it might seem.  Modems are able to renegotiate rates
up and down during the life of the call, and many popular brands will
always report the highest possible speed and then immediately
negotiate downward to more usable speeds.  If you're using this
connect speed to estimate transfer time and so forth, it's probably
not useful.  If you're looking for gross V.8 failures (failing to get
V.42 or V.42bis, or ending up in some other strange mode), then this
will be useful.

Look at the masqdialler package; a server that sits on the Linux

This is too funny.  I have no comeback.  You win.  g
I just want to know one thing.  How much did you bill your client?  vbg

Maybe add the computers name to the hosts file?

I get this message at boot up ever since I changed my computers name in
linuxconf

Executing: //etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd start

* Use the ServerName directive to set it manually

How do I fix this?

 Upgrade the Mac to System 7.5.3 (at least).  It makes MAJOR changes to
 networking.

  i did try different settings on the mac machine in mactcp, and in the
  chooser; i tried w/ appletalk on and off.  in mactcp, i tried the
  ethernet and ethertalk settings, no luck.
 
  anyway, if this makes any sense to someone, i sure would appreciate some
  enlightenment.
  thanks in advance,

 Sure... let's see -- Appletalk makes no difference here, since we're
 dealing with TCP/IP traffic.  You want to manually set your IP address
 (in either MacTCP or the TCP/IP control panels), and then set your
 gateway address to the internal ip address of your linux machine, your
 subnet mask to the same as you have your win98 machines, and dns the
 same as well.  This is much simpler (and more reliable) with Open
 Transport, which was introduced in System 7.5.3.  The update is free
 and available from http://www.apple.com.

 Hope this helps!

well,
i'm still stumped.  i installed 7.5.3 and set up tcp/ip in control panels;
when i try to ping the name or ip of the mac machine from the linux box, ping
will just hang.  i can ping everything else.
the mac i have is a performa 631 cd.  i bought an older nic card w/ rj 45.
the nic card is an LC slot card.
i was told that the system software will take care of the nic.  i was
wondering if there might be specific drivers for the card that i could load on
the mac, that way making sure the software for the card is installed.

Hey all,

I have ADSL, which works in my other OS, and I can get the Ethernet
card (it is an Intel Ether Express Pro 100) to be recognized by my
Linux system but I can't find any documentation in the SuSE manual on
getting/installing/configuring TCP/IP for the connection.  Without a
connection to the 'net the system is fun to play with but...

Anybody know where I can find the information on how to get this

Hi

I'm having this weird problem when connecting to my ISP
(OptusNet-Australia) from my linux box (i586 - kernel 2.0.36 -
RH5.2). After establishing a *successful* ppp connection, the line will
drop after some few seconds to few minutes of activity. However, this
behavior is not consistent, in some instances it just connects and stays
connected for hours without any problems, in other instances I keep
getting the line drops repeatedly (ie. connecting successfully then
dropping on successive tests)

I also tested on windows NT (same machine) successfully a couple of
times but not enough times to establish that NT side is problem free.

The modem I know is no culprit because it connects to other ISPs without
any problems.
  
I included my chat scripts and a log of a single session (with kdebug=1)
where dropouts were occurring. If you can spot any abnormality in the
log messages or have any suggestions as to why this should be happening,
I would really appreciate your help.
