Anybody have any ideas on this two items? I have two identical Linux machines set up for shared internet access in two separate locations. Both boxes are using Red Hat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36. Both boxes are using the ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer scripts edited for our ISP and both connect just fine and work exceptionally well providing shared access to the internet for as many as 12 users at a time. The systems are also set up as fax servers using hylafax and print servers via samba. In both systems, the options file includes the persist option to keep the connection going since our ISP shuts off the connection after 8 hours regardless of the presence or absence of traffic. I would love to get ISDN, but unfortunately live in a technologically-challenged part of the country that is lucky to even have internet access. On one system, the persists option works great - that is, when the ppp connection is lost, it immediately redials. The other doesn't - it has to be manually started. Diald is not an option, since there is always traffic there. I have banged my head against the wall on this but cannot find a solution. Any ideas? (btw- we were using ishare - yechhhhh! nothing but trouble. Since moving to Linux our users are seeing faster internet responses and are very happy - little do they know we are connecting at the same speed....) Also, I am trying to get the systems to masquerade our local (bogus) domain as our real (FQDM) that resides elsewhere to send/receive mail so our users won't have to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( or something similar). On some recipients, this works fine, but others reject it flat out. I know this can be fixed in the sendmail configuration, but how? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
