Re: [SLUG] urgent response is needed

We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our localities. Presently, the US$25,600,000.00 twentyfive, MILLION, six HUNDRED DOLLARS my father transfered to Netherlands is safe and is in a security firm. I am therefore soliciting your help tohave this money transfered into your account. before my government get wind of this fund .You know my father was a rebel leader in Angola before his death My reason for doing this is because it will be difficult for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an individual's account, especially when such an individual has no relationship ,I decided to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept in a Security Company in nertherland. I am currently and temporarily living in Angola with my husband.

RE: [SLUG] can't establish network connect
Michael/Grant, The gateway doesn't get used if the two hosts are on the same network. Assuming Grant has set the network mask to 255.255.255.0, the sending host does an logical AND of his interface with the mask (192.168.1.10 AND 255.255.255.0 which gives 192.168.1.0 ) and the recipient address AND the mask (192.168.1.3 AND 255.255.255.0 which also gives 192.168.1.0). The sending host now knows they are on the same network and hence does not use the default gateway. ( This is how all route decisions are made with the process repeated for each route until the longest match, or most specific route is found) Grant, apart from the advice given (i.e. check physical and administratively that the cards are up with ifconfig). The network addresses given stipulate that the two machines MUST reside on the same physical network (ie hub or network switches that are physically connected at Layer 2). You also can use arp -a to see if the machine resolving IP to mac address, also netstat -ic to check packets going in/out. Also you may need to check that ipchains/iptables (firewall) is not getting in the way. iptables --list will be your friend.

Does the kernel specifically recognise the sym53c8xx ?
either it doesn't and/or this particular SCSI card is not bootable.
Well, the kernel does have the support - since it is also on the boot floppy.
I know the SCSI card is bootable as before linux it was running BSD and
booting this from the HDD.

[SLUG] ppp and iptable hassels
Hi thanks for the tips on ppp, and iptables ppp now up and running, though only as root, which is how this is being sent to you now! which is a v insecure. (though not as much as the other OS!) as root: kppp dials and connects, but nothing happens and will only when service iptables stop, then browser get pages maybe monmotha's firewall needs adjusting? where? as user (russell) when inquiry to kppp re modem status: can't create modem lock file after removing lock file option, kppp response: can't open modem thanks and I hope you don't mind me presenting these teething problems! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] ppp and iptable hassels
I'm not sure I understood your problem properly. Are you saying that you can't get web pages unless you stop iptables? If that's your problem, try posting the results of: iptables -L iptables -L -t nat iptables -L -t mangle The above commands will list your iptables chains, used to manipulate/block/route packets. By the way, it is expected that you need to be root to bring up a PPP connection. Some distributions get round this by providing setuid tools for dialing. If kppp isn't setuid root that'd explain the error message about the modem lock file. On my system you need to be user root or in group uucp to write to /var/lock. As a normal user you won't be able to do this.

Then they tell you there is a hitch, and special extra legal fees have to be paid, and they do not have this money and the $30 million is slipping away. Fees say $110,000 are owing.
