Try adding &K3 to the modem initialization string unless you are sure that
it's in the factory profile for the modem with fcs errors. This enables
RTS/CTS flow control. AT&V in minicom will show the profiles.

It means that the UART your modem uses needs to be at capabable of keeping
up with the modem speed. For a 28.8+ modem you need a 16550A UART and
an older 16450 with just a 1 byte internal buffer likely won't cut it.
In turn the 16550A is really not fast enough for a 128k ISDN connection.

The other things I know about that might contribute to fcs error are the
absence of the pppd crtscts option, the absence of the asycnmap option
in certain cases, and (maybe) the presence of the "escape xx" option
in others. These don't seem to fit your circumstances, where a plug-in
replacement modem cures the problem.

I use PAP under Linux as well as under Windows, so that should not
give any differences. It seems that most of the time is used for
preparing the modem for dialing, which comes prior to "CONNECT".
BTW:
I did a test with IpRoute under dos - 0.9 seconds. That feels fast.

Subject: DCHP transfer through Linux
Date: 18 Jan 1999 20:38:58 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello there,
I've setup a Linux box with 2 network cards (3Com ethernet and IBM
Tokenring).
Working through these cards works ok (i've setup the appropiate routes),
but here is my problem:
My DHCP-server is running on the Ethernet-segment.
I'd like to have the TokenRing machines getting their IP-addresses from
DHCP as well, without installing a DHCP-server on the TokenRing segment.
I've fumbled with ifadm but with no luck.
Here is (part) of my network:
ETHERNET SYSTEM TOKENRING
10.0.2.1 DHCP none
10.0.2.1 SERVER1 none
10.0.2.51 CLIENT1 none
10.0.2.52 LINUX 10.0.3.52
none CLIENT3 10.0.3.53
Connection from CLIENT3 to SERVER1 goes OK, but only if i
setup a fixed IP-addres.
TANX for any advice/help.

I have PPP talking to my ISP under RedHat Linux. Everything seems to work
except....
If I don't use the connection fast enough (21/2-3 minutes), it disconnects.
However, if I use it for anything (ping, traceroute, ftp, telnet,...) it
seems to work as long as I am using it. Is there a timeout parameter
somewhere that I missed?

Are you running a nameserver? If so, this will turn into a whole other
discussion.
Or are you using your ISP's? Which will make life easier.
Step 1: Tell your Linux box and your LAN hosts to use your ISP's
nameserver. (You're paying the ISP for the right to use it!) On the linux
box, this is done with the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Step 2: Try to ping www.yahoo.com (or whatever) from the firewall. If it
resolves the name to an ip address, then the firewall's in business.
Step 3: Try to ping www.yahoo.com (or whatever) from one of the LAN
hosts. If it resolves the name to an ip address, then it's in business.
If it doesn't, use tcpdump on the firewall to see if the domain (name
resolution) packets are making it into and out of the firewall and back
again. If they aren't, then it isn't a name resolution problem but a
firewall problem. If they are, but ping doesn't work, do the same tcpdump
trick to see what's going on with the echo packets. Once you have all of
that working, trying surfing.

OK. Now you're onto the advanced stuff ;). ICQ uses a whole mess of ports
and stuff and doesn't like to be masqueraded. This is where masquerade
"helper" modules come in. For example, ip_masq_ftp helps ftp sessions
through a masquerading firewall and ip_masq_radio helps RealAudio(tm)
sessions through a masquerading firewall. The reason these "helper"
modules are required are a result of how a masquerading firewall tracks
currently active outbound connections and how it rewrites the packets as
they go out or come back in. (I won't go into detail.)
Suffice it to say that you need a module for icq. I don't know if one
exists and suggest you do a search. If one doesn't exist and you know the
port numbers that icq uses and you only want to have icq run from LAN
host, then you can use port forwarding.
Let me know and I'll try to help out.

This is more tricky. to really handle all that you got to dig into
sendmail. The bat book gives you all the details and more, but essentially
you have to extend the range of domains your box accepts by using the
sendmail.cw file. Of course mail should be routed to your box first.

Why not take a look at the various Samba/NT PAM modules?
http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/modules.html
PAM is a layer of abstraction for user authentication; with the proper PAM

I don't know about through the windows gui, but you could run a http server

script on an intranet web page to change passwords...the http server's
pretty easy to set up if you don't already have it...as for the CGI, it
shouldn't be all that tough...I know my ISP uses a CGI password change page,
even if you're in a shell account and type "passwd" it uses lynx to go to
the page, so it would appear that this kind of system works well
someone probably knows an easier way so in that case just ignore me

Samba is installed on only the Unix side. This can either be Solaris,
Linux, or something else. Samba makes the Unix machine appear to your
Windows machine as just another Windows machine.
After getting it set up, you can see your Linux files and directories
and you can share your Windows files and directories with the Linux
side. You can also share drives, printers, etc.

uh, /etc/ is the configuration directory. in older unices, /etc/ was
indeed a dumping ground (random config files, binaries, shell scripts, etc
all stuck into there), but it's since been cleaned up considerably. /etc/
holds config files, and usually the startup scripts as well (though some
systems (debian's only one i know of) put then in /sbin/).

huh? well, which are you refering to, X, the kernel, or a daemon? they're
all seperate things. exactly which file did you rename? if it's X (the X
server binary) then you simply didn't have it configured properly. the
config *should* have been run during install (it always is for me), but you
can run it afterwards yourself via Xconfigurator or xf86config.

Subject: 2.2.0-pre7, ppp, telnet
Date: 18 Jan 1999 17:29:09 -0500
Hi all,
I am almost completely successfully using the 2.2.0-pre7 kernel. The
one problem left is one that seems more like a networking issue than a
kernel issue, though. Before I describe it, let me say that I am
using Debian 2.0.2, with a few later packages. All software versions
specified by the kernel upgrade notes are in place.
I make a successful ppp connection with slirp over a telnet connection
from an intermediate machine (local call). This connection works
perfectly well for ftp. It also works perfectly well for telnet _when
I specify port 23_ -- otherwise I get nowhere at one site, or as far
as a login prompt at another. I can also telnet successfully to port
25. Lynx and netscape get as far as waiting for data from a remote
site. Ping doesn't get any packets through, but works fine to
localhost. The output of route and ifconfig look fine to me.
FWIW, everything still works fine when I boot my 2.0.34 kernel. I
know that slirp might not be happy running over a telnet connection.
It strikes me that something in /proc/sys/net/ipv4 might need
changing.
Any ideas? Many thanks in advance,
Ben

Hi all,
Having managed to configure connection via PPP, sendmail now hangs up, when

run sendmail, after hanging up for about a minute, gives the message:

I went thru the files listed in the man, but could not work out the fault.
(sendmail.cf is horribly complex for me!). I tried erasing re-installing

but could not figure out reading the man pages.
Thanks in advance. Also for the advice on running PPP from the console - it

netcat. Ships with RedHat 5.2 as the package named "nc", but its been
around for a long long time. I think that the source can be found on
the l0pht website.
you'd do something like "cat file | nc -w1 remotehost port".
Its just a shame nobody pointed you to it before.
Search for the word "netcat" on www.l0pht.com turns up
http://www.l0pht.com/~weld/netcat/index.html, announcing
their release of an NT port of the program. Also has links
to the original source in compressed tar format, and an
HTMLized version of the netcat README file, which is quite
a good users manual. The source also includes a bunch of
shell scripts that use nc to implement demo tools, such
as a minimalist web browser written in about 150 lines of
shellcode.

set and all of my lan machines can get out on the internet. When diald is
started the modem dials out, connects, and logs in but the routing is not
correct. It appears that the defaultroute that diald is installing blocks
pppd from putting in the new dynamic route.
Here is the /etc/diald.conf file:
mode ppp
dynamic
local 192.168.0.3
remote 192.168.0.4
reroute
defaultroute
device /dev/ttyS1
connect /etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-on
modem
speed 115200
lock
crtscts
include /user/lib/diald/standard.filter
Here is the /etc/ppp/options file:
debug
noipdefault
The ppp-on script file has the line:
exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug \
asyncmap 20A0000 escape FF kdebug 0 $LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP \
netmask $NETMASK connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
If the following command is used manually without the diald functionality
the system routing works great.
exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug lock modem crtscts /dev/ttyS1 115200 \
asyncmap 20A0000 escape FF kdebug 0 $LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP \
noipdefault netmask $NETMASK connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
Any help or guidance on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Folks,
When i boot my system, everything works fine. Then I enter:
/etc/init.d/netbase stop
....
/etc/init.d/netbase start
Now i can't connect to any TCP port anymore. No telnet. No FTP. No
Samba. Nothing. InetD refuses any connection. My logfile:
Jan 18 23:16:43 stress inetd[24328]: bump_nofile: cannot extend file
limit, max
= 24
Jan 18 23:16:43 stress last message repeated 5 times
Jan 18 23:16:43 stress inetd[24328]: netbios-ns/udp: unknown service
Jan 18 23:16:43 stress inetd[24328]: socks/tcp: unknown service

Jan 18 23:22:49 stress inetd[24350]: getpwnam: root: No such user
Jan 18 23:22:57 stress init: Switching to runlevel: 6
Jan 18 23:22:58 stress inetd[24353]: getpwnam: root: No such user
So far, there are two problems. netbios-ns, socks and swat are all in
the services file. The user root exists ofcourse. The very strange
thing is, that a system reboot will get everything to work, even
samba, even swat and even socks.
Does somebody have any idea?
Ruud.

Well I am somewhat stumped and need some direction.
I have two boxes, one running the SuSE 5.3
release and the other Slackware 3.4 or so.
I have them networked together using ethernet.
On the Slackware box I have an Eagle Travan-3 internal floppy tape drive.
All I want to be able to do is to tar some files to the tape drive from the
SuSe box to the tape on the Slackware box.
I have minimized security by putting in .rhosts and even hosts.equiv files
yet I still get permission denied messages.
I have the latest ftape module up and working and all other
network stuff runs great (NFS, rsh, etc.)
I have tried the commands tar -cvf hostname:/dev/qft0 filename and
tar -cvf user@hostname:/dev/qft0 filename.
Everyone has rw permissions on this device.
A pointer to a faq or how-to would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chuck C
