I have set up my Bind 8 server to host DNS for multiple Domains on one

out problems?
Please reply to me with this group thanks,

Subject: Replacing amd with autofs
Date: 20 Jan 1999 01:03:08 GMT
I am trying to understand how to replace amd with autofs, but am
missing something. A useful feature of amd is the ability for an
arbitrary user to connect to an unknown host with a command like
ls /net/foo.bar.com/remote/directory
How do you implement this functionality with autofs? Most examples
seem to assume you already know the hosts and mount points of
interest, which limits its usefulness.
I have tried using the maps
* &:/
and
* &:/&
I thought one of those would expand into what I want, but no luck so
far. The problem I run into is that it seems like autofs tries to
mount the directory /remote before /remote/directory, and /remote may
not be exported.
What am I doing wrong, or does autofs just not do this?
Thanks for any insight

I am looking for an external ISDN modem to hook up to a Linux router.
Has anyone tried or had success w/ the 3Com IQImpact, or any other
external ISDN modems? BTW, I am using GTE for my local service to
install the lines ( are there any compatibility issues? )
Thanks for any advice.

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried the updates as the Redhat updates link
never seems to respond. I really have no idea about the process - I take it it
involves a kernel rebuild? Looks like I've got some reading to do! :-) I'll
read-up and suggest what you try.
Later,

Subject: High Availability Architect for Auspex's ServerGuard
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 01:50:34 GMT
I'm searching for a high availability architect to join/lead our group here
at Auspex. I've put together an overview of the job below. This is a new
area to me (personally) so any help, advice, direction, leads, etc. you can
offer that would assist me in finding qualified people would be greatly
appreciated....
HIGH AVAILABILITY ARCHITECT
Position: The candidate will participate in the design and implementation of
a second generation enterprise class high availability solution
(ServerGuard). ServerGuard provides continuous data access to network clients
through the use of sophisticated replication, failover and re synchronization
technology. This senior engineer will drive the team providing a UNIX based
solution supporting both CIFS and NFS file services.
The team is defining the protocol for managing redundant file servers and
designing the system software for maintaining backup resources, detecting
system failure, and effecting failover to backup resources at the appropriate
time. The team is responsible for designing unit and system verification
tools to assure that the mirrored server implementation performs true to
design and properly handles a broad range of exception conditions and failure
scenarios.
Qualifications: the ideal candidate will be a strong senior
engineer/architect with high availability or mission critical product
experience, and strong UNIX kernel/OS background with distributed systems. A
good knowledge of NFS and networking background, especially TCP.IP multicast,
WAN or VLAN is desired, as is experience with NT file servers including
SMB/CIFS and clustering.
OO analysis, design and development experience is highly desirable.
This individual must be a senior technical leader who can provide guidance
and technical direction to other members of a small team, and work
cooperatively and effectively with other senior engineers outside the
immediate team. 10 yrs design experience. BSEE minimum.

How do you get win 95 to connect? It wants to go through the modem and not a
serial port? Is there a way to tell it to not dial and go to the serial
port?

Subject: Multiwave Commwave 56 PCI winmodem
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 20:02:01 -0000
Anyone had any success with the
Multiwave Commwave 56 PCI winmodem
?
I am one of those unfortunates caught up in the winmodem problem.
My PC was advertised as having a 56K voice/fax/modem On
inspection the device turned out to call it's self an LT winmodem... I
assumed
that this meant it was a host signal processing device and therefore
unlikely
ever to be supported by the LINUX crowd. So I called the guys at MESH who
had sold me my pc to ask for an exchange (no mention of winmodems in the
product description, buyer beware!).
I was interested to hear that the model I have was a:
Multiwave: Comwave 56 PCI
(Lucent Technologies chipset)
DSP (as opposed to HSP)
I was assured that all the signal procesing was done onboard, that they had
stopped shipping HSP devices.
Has anyone any experience of getting this hardware to work with linux?
Or does the winmodem label mean that the spec is kept a dark secret?
I have found some kind of specification document for this thing:
Multiwave: Comwave 56 PCI
(Lucent Technologies chipset)
DSP (as opposed to HSP)
http://www.multiwave.com/download/manuals/PCILucent/PCIlucent_spec.pdf
If I've managed to decipher this correctly it _does_ do it's DSP on-board
and is
not a standard winmodem CPU vampire.
How do you write a modem driver anyway.....
Thanks for any help,
Simon.

Looking for this string in the log files, there was an attempt using imapd to
exploit this concept. It doesn't appear to be successful (but I can't tell
for sure--does anyone else know of a possible exploit of imapd in this
manner?):

We didn't seem to be logging NFS calls and so can't confirm that this was the
weakness exploited, but from your experiences it seems likely. Can anyone
confirm whether this buffer overflow issue was corrected in RH5.0?

Agreed.
For everyone who responded to this thread. I'd like to thank you all for your
advice and suggestions. I'm certainly wiser from both this experience and
your collective wisdom. I hopefully brought an important issue to everyone's
attention whether you feel it is a wu-ftp weakness or virtue or an inevitable
aspect of the UNIX way of doing things.
We have responded to all possible holes identified as a result of this thread
(at least on the host in question) on our site.
Again, thank you to all.

Thorsten,
THe problem was found, eventually. It seems that Linux's
NIS implementation requires a (-,something,) type of netgroup entry.
Our netgroups were (,something,). This works fine with every known
NIS implementation, except Linux.
I will change the glibc sources (lib_nss) to address this problem.

I've read a number of posts in coln about 905B Cyclones having problems and I
can't figure it out. Perhaps I had a streak of good luck with mine. I've got
the RH5.2 distribution installed with the default kernel (rebuilt to suit my
config.) I don't seem to be having any difficulty.
I also have Win95 installed on the same box. I've noticed that Win95, when
left to its own devices so to speak, likes to *try* and knock the card into
auto-detect mode. Inevitably, this'll reduce the card down to
10M/half-duplex. If this happens and your 100BT switch/hub isn't smart enough
to negotiate its port down to 10/half, you'll lose connectivity.
If you have Winblows on the system, boot it. Go into the Settings->Control
Panel->System and find your card's drivers. In there, it should pop up a box
that lets you set the "Media Type" and "Duplex." Very likely, both will say
"Autosensing" or somesuch. Change those.
If you don't have Win9x installed, you should at least have drivers disks that
came with your card. One of them has a batch file on it called "INSTALL." If
you can get a plain DOS boot disk, boot your PC into DOS, then run that
program. It'll give you the opportunity to do config changes to the card.

Although it is not HSP, it is HCF, i.e. host-controller. So it's still a
winmodem, just a different flavor of winmodem.

little add for PCI cards:
look in /proc/pci
Here (with a cheap NE-2000 clone) it shows:
PCI devices found:
Bus 0, device 15, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Compex ReadyLink 2000 (rev 10).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 7.
I/O at 0x6000.
Then load the driver with the correct irq and io setting.

Mine worked as module and has never failed, and that's with numerous
code updates. What's your initialization string, the options? Try none.
Try turning the verbose up to 10 and no other options.
I just want to say that when you get it working, you'll have to get the
most recent dhcpcd client for dynamic IP because that's the way it
is with Intel cards.

Not much needed. Build a kernel with NFS server enabled, add the
directory to export to /etc/exports, be happy. Make sure you have the
recent versions of the net software as well (see Changes in the
Documentation directory). Seemed to work with Slackware 3.6, haven't
tried Redhat.

There may be areas where MS is better than Windows (I can't think
of any), but installation is certainly not one of them.

To install downloaded rpm's under KDE:
1. Open kfm file manager (one click)
2. Find the subdirectory you d/l'd to (I realize this
may be a problem for some Windows users)
3. Left click the package name
4. After kpackage opens, click install
5. Wait (less than 15 seconds on average)
6. Close kpackage, kinstall
7. Run the program
(You can also do this from the command line even more
quickly, or use xrpm or glint if you're not using KDE)
You will only have problems if there are files needed for the
new program (libraries, primarily) that are either not on
your system, or are incompatible. A message will tell you
which libraries you need. This seems like a good plan to
me, since the program usually won't run without the
necessary stuff.
This whole process takes less time than InstallShield takes
to complete it's opening screen, and doesn't auto-corrupt
your system in the process.
If rpm's aren't available, you may need to unzip a tar.gz
file, read the INSTALL file, and usually do ./configure,
make, make install. For a small number of programs (stuff
that's still in development usually) you may encounter
problems which require a knowledge of 'make' or programming
to fix the compile/install - not very often in my experience.

Note that if you install/rm on Linux, the system will almost
always return to the state it was in before the install. That's
not the case with Windows install/uninstall.
