[SLUG] Auto-dial PPP
Hi all, Still working my way through multiple readme's and How To's. Hev now got ppp so it will dial from the command line and it adds the default route and ppp0 to ifconfig. All is good there and I can browse and use email from the local machine. (Still no email over the network, deal with that later). Now I need to get ppp to dial on demand, and I am confused! I ahd advise from here to add demand=yes to the ppp script, but which one and if it is not running in the background how will that help? I have read another HowTo which mentions files that I do not have, but it implies they are standard. I am using RH7.2, where do I go from here. I installed mgetty but I think that is for dialling in?? Cheers and any pointers appreciated.

Change your sources.list to point to

$APT_PROXY_CACHE/non-US/ \

apt-proxy uses rsync to grab packages and caches it locally, thus thwarting
evil transproxies that your ISP may have set up and uses minimal upstream
bandwidth for networks all using apt regularly.
(and when gzip finally gets the rsyncable patch, then it'll save on your
bandwidth even more when updating the Packages lists)

Quick answer - it is an old dos compression archive. The good news is
that there is a linux utility to uncompress/extract it.
The bad news is that I can not remember the details. RH Powertools Cd or

RE: [SLUG] FW: port redirect to internal ftp server from internet
Haven't they heard the saying you can't always get what you want :) So your firewall is ipchains. I guess you are using NAT. how many interfaces does your firewall have? what is the ftp server primary use (for the users to upload to, or download from)? Are the users complaining about the connection to other ftp sites or just to the ftp on the firewall? I have a definate problem with putting servers onto firewalls. especially something as insecure as ftp. Your firewall is only as strong as it's weakest link and if that is wuftpd or an insecure version of proftpd then in some way you might be better off not having a firewall. If the users are ftping from other boxes on the net then what are your ipchains config for allowing ftp? Because there could be something funny there. When ever I run either IPChains, or IPTables firewall I rarely get complaints from clients about using passive FTP. Yes, i agree to some extent, but the user's dont want passive mode.

What you can do is compile your kernel with IPPORTFW support and select the modules portfw autofw and install the ipmasqadm package and to forward ports 20 21 to this FTP server, you would use a line similar to: ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 20 21 -h 192.168.10.10 ... where 192.168.1.10 is the IP address of your internal FTP server.

[SLUG] Masqdialer
Hi, I am trying to get Masqdialer working so that any user on my network (my wife and myself) are able to connect to the net with it. I have changed the permissions of the appropriate files however I am still getting this: /usr/sbin/pppd: must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since it is not setuid-root what does this mean, and how do I fix it?

Pretty much accurate, but I wanted to share my little experience too. 12 months ago I moved into a new block of units. There was SUPPOSED to be a 'broadband' ISP doing all the connectivitiy (so no foxtel). The ISP went pop and we were left high and dry. I contacted telsra to find out if I could get ADSL. As I don't have a land line (I use orange cdma phones), they gave me the useful response of We can't tell you if you can get ADSL until you have a phoneline. I found out that the exchange is ADSL ready and so ordered a phoneline, $200 later Telsra tell me that the rim in the building won't support ADSL. So I'm stuck with 56k dialup and a satisfiying feeling when everyone elses broadband connection plays up ;-) -- Tony Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel : +61-(0)2-9500-9996 Mobile: +61-(0)4-2521-9996 GnuPG Key : 1024D/B5657C8B Key fingerprint = 9ED8 59CC C161 B857 462E 51E6 7DFB 465B B565 7C8B -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
