I managed to get masquerading working just before going to bed last
night. I have to admit that I can't attribute all my problems to
SuSE, but I can wish that the documentation were better. I guess
I would buy another distribution by SuSE.
Here is my summary of getting masquerade up under SuSE:
Read the IP Masquerade HOWTO by Ambrose Au. Then:
Use ipchains instead of ipfwadm
ipfwadm -F -p deny becomes:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.1/8 -D 0.0.0.0/0 becomes:
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 10.0.0.1/8 -d 0.0.0.0/0
Kernel config options for ip masquerade
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL,CONFIG_MODULES,CONFIG_NET,CONFIG_FIREWALL,
CONFIG_INET,CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL,CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE
CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG,CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP,
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MOD,CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPAUTOFW,
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPPORTFW,CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MFW
Enable IP_FORWARD in /etc/rc.config

So true. Your advice is generally sound, however if you check the index
of the SuSE handbook you will see there is *no* reference to masquerading.
Similarly the online help from SuSE is outdated, as is my copy of
the IP MASQUERADE HOWTO.

Subject: HELP ! verrry slloooww reading DAT tape
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 11:29:17 GMT
Hi,
I have received a number of DDS-2 tapes that I have to read. They are
written on an AIX system. The format is 1024 bytes per block.
I have used the "mt" command and set "defblk" to be 1024. Now when I
"tar -xvf /dev/st0", the tapes read at about 5Mb/hr :(. Life is too
short for this.
I am sure that I have missed something fundamental. When the tape reads
it says blocks = 2. I have tried the -b command to read more blocks at a
time but it makes no difference.
Can anyone send me some suggestions as to what I can do to speed this up
a little.
My system: Dual Intel Pentium 133 / 64Mb / 2 x 4Gb Quantum on an AHA2940
/ Sony SDT-5000.
Kind Regards
Chris Wilson

I guess it is obligatory if it isn't in the 440 page manual.
>How should we know what you needed to enable ??
In context it should be clear that I was referring to what options
must be enabled for masquerading. The susehelp is wrong.
It should be clear that your experience comes from upgrading
an older SuSE distribution, as opposed to a fresh install.
>"echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" into the setup scripts.
Now let me help you out with this point:
if you enable IP_FORWARDING in your /etc/rc.config file you
don't have to add that line to your setup script.

My 6.1 version is a little different and uses 2.2.7 mods. If you go
to the web site suse.com you can find a discussion of the missing
modules, and you can download a 5.9Mb package kernmod.rpm which
contains the missing modules.
Be sure to enable IP_FORWARDING in your /etc/rc.config file. There is
a mediaone site that will help you in converting your old ipfwadm
instructions to the newer ipchains form.
Is this fun?

Subject: [help] Could not execute Perl script
Date: 19 Jun 1999 11:55:32 GMT
Hi all,
I am using RH6.0's web server. Whenever I access my perl script
through the web, I get an error in the the logfile:
.....
[Sat Jun 19 07:31:24 1999] [error] [client 215.173.45.31] (2)No such
file or directory: exec of /home/httpd/cgi-bin/setup.cgi failed

end of script deaders: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/setup.cgi
I already change the permission of all the .cgi to 755
Could anyone tell me what I have to do to fix the problem please.
Notice: if the setup.cgi is the output of the compiling a .c file
then it is just okey. It failed if setup.cgi is a perl script only.
Thank you very much in advance
VD.

The problem as I see it is that the good sound cards (I use event Gina

back) but few of the quality cards list any *nix drivers.

ok i did change the items you said should be * compiled not as
modules, and i got more disk activity than before, but the system
still didnt come up, i must be getting close to a working kernel.
