The problem is that Masquerading is in fact port-translation. All
traffic from the firewall leaves it with the IP-address of the
external interface as source-address. Because the session still has to
be unique, the source-port is changed to a value above 61000.
/*
* Linux ports don't normally get allocated above 32K.
* I used an extra 4K port-space
*/
#define PORT_MASQ_BEGIN 61000
#define PORT_MASQ_END (PORT_MASQ_BEGIN+4096)
rlogin uses random source ports below 1024, so masquerading breaks
this.
You will have to use a proxy.

That's good to know. And I suppose it's transparent to workstations behind

However, my concern is for port-mapping from outside linux (from Internet)
... should I call it reverse hosting? Does it support reverse hosting?

In theory, it's possible to have multiple scsi controllers on one bus, they
should have different ID's, that's all. All controllers can access all
devices on the bus, however, NOT simultaniously (the same device). Probably
you can manage to access different partitions on the same drive from
different controllers.
It's all very dangerous, as concurrent access of multiple controllers on the
same partition can/will damage the filesystem.
SCSI is also more expensive, and not as versatile as ethernet (you can't
telnet over scsi...).
Don't do it if you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing.

I see now. So it's sort of like when 98 is having connectivity problems and
can't see its DHCP server, 98 just picks 162.254.##.## for an IP, something
close to that.

No. On my other linux machine I use taper with an Exabyte
2501 SCSI tape drive. You need to have SCSI and SCSI tape
support available in linux and start taper thus: "taper -T
scsi"
I haven't managed to get taper to work on this machine yet

The client is called dhcpcd. It's available from most of the mirror sites,

Subject: IPMasq Setup (3rd time is the charm)
I have asked this question b/4, and gotten some very thoughtful and
helpful replies, but I think I failed to ask the proper question, so
here goes again:
I have a Debian Linux box w/ 3 interfaces:
ppp0 : dials up to cable company and ONLY outbound traffic goes upstream
eth0 : connects directly to cable modem. Only inbound traffic from
internet comes this way
eth1 : connected to hub on local network
I need to use ip masquerade to hide the machine on my local lan.
Addresses:
ppp0 : real.ip.addr.ess netmask 255.255.255.0
eth0 : 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.240
eth1 : 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
I am having a real bear getting this to work.
I have tried ipfwadm w/2.0.36 and ipchains w/2.2.1 kernels. I think it
is a matter of the weird routing that must occur. ppp interface only
handles outbound traffic, eth0 is only incoming bound for my ppp
interface, eth1 is on local lan w/ only one client.
If anyone can give me a clue, it would be (as clues always are) greatly
appreciated.
Peace

Do you have IP forwarding enabled?
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward should return 1
if it doesnt, then echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
If /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward doesnt exist, recompile your kernel
with the IP_FORWARDING option enabled.

I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do. Does one
of these machine have a modem hooked up to them?
I'm not sure your line above with the "gw" in it is correct.
I have three machines networked together at home. One is a
Linux machine, one is Windows 95 machine and one is a Sun Sparc
machine. The Linux machine has the modem which dials my ISP.
All three machines have hosts files which have IP numbers and
machine names for all three machines. The Windows machine has the
hosts file in c:\windows.
The Windows machine has the IP address of the Linux machine as its
gateway address in the Windows networking setup.
My startup scripts on the Linux machine are as follows:
================cut here===================
#! /bin/sh
#
# rc.inet1 This shell script boots up the base INET system.
#
# Version: @(#)/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 1.01 05/27/93
#
HOSTNAME=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`
# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
# IF YOU HAVE AN ETHERNET CONNECTION, use these lines below to configure the
# eth0 interface. If you're only using loopback or SLIP, don't include the
# rest of the lines in this file.
# Edit for your setup.
IPADDR="192.168.100.10" # REPLACE with YOUR IP address!
NETMASK="255.255.255.0" # REPLACE with YOUR netmask!
NETWORK="192.168.100.0" # REPLACE with YOUR network address!
BROADCAST="192.168.100.255" # REPLACE with YOUR broadcast address, if you
# have one. If not, leave blank and edit below.
#GATEWAY="" # REPLACE with YOUR gateway address!
# Uncomment the line below to initialize the ethernet device.
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
# Uncomment these to set up your IP routing table.
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0
================cut here===================
Since my Linux machine is the gateway for the other two machine to the
Internet, I don't point it to a gateway. If you are trying to go
through your Windows machine to the Internet, someone else will
have to give you a hand.
Also, I assume you are fairly confident that your cards are working,
you cables are the correct ones, you have networking compiled correctly
into your kernel, you have the correct device driver configured into
your kernel, etc. There are probably dozens of other problems also.
One thing I have found, I try and compile things directly into the kernel
until I get them figured out. I will then go back and compile things
as modules if needed.
Good luck.

Subject: Modem: no luck w/simple AT cmd
Date: 11 Mar 1999 19:33:42 GMT
I'm running RH5.2 on 486/66. There is one serial port on back of
machine which I am using for my mouse. It is mapped to /dev/ttyS1
(COM2) and is IRQ 3. I am installing a Gateway (USR) Telepath 550
14400 internal ISA modem with jumpers configured for IRQ4, COM1. My
BIOS does not provide access to serial port info (enabling/disabling)
so I assume I can use this port. It's a SystemSoft BIOS and the PC is
a VTech.
My problem is that I've followed all of the instructions I've found in
the modem manual, PPP HOWTO, and serial HOWTO to simply issue an AT
command to talk to this modem and I have no luck. Nothing shows up on
the screen when I type and nothing shows up from the modem in
response. It feels like I'm talking to a wall. I have used both
Kermit and minicom, setting it to look for the modem at /dev/ttyS0, to
no avail. In Kermit I've tried setting modem type to both usrobotics
and telepath. I'm running them as root so permissions shouldn't be
the problem. I've run setserial on the port and it reports a 16450
UART and the address and IRQ look fine. Neither Kermit or minicom
complained when initializing/connecting to the modem. I've looked at
/proc/interrupts before and during the modem programs. Before nothing
was shown for IRQ 4, during it showed activity for this interrupt.
Once I typed something and got a dialtone and some activity on the
line which I heard from the speaker on the modem but I typed another
key and it stopped. I had some hope for a second but I could not
repeat it. And once I got "trapped" in Kermit while connected to the
modem and could not issue the escape sequence to get out to the Kermit
prompt. I did Ctrl-z to suspend, and when I typed 'fg' to return, I
saw an "OK" as if the modem had replied. This too happened only once.
I am wondering if the modem takes forever to reply, but why wouldn't
my commands show up? At this point in the installation, does it even
matter what the modem's settings are? I tried 'stty <the string to
enable CTS/RTS HW flow control> < /dev/ttyS0' but this changed
nothing. My modem has all dip switches in default locations. Next
I'll try a different COM port/IRQ (I suppose I could use 5...) but I
don't know what's going on with my current config. Is the modem
toast? I've tried swapping ISA slots.
Thanks--

Subject: Linux 2.2.3 and Ultrix 4.3: incompatible NFS?
Date: 11 Mar 1999 19:39:47 GMT
I've just upgraded a PC with RedHat Linux 5.2 installed from kernel 2.0.36
to 2.2.3. I've noticed the following problem:
when I access (by loging in as a user) /home, which is actually a symbolic
link to /net/itp4/home, with /net being the amd automount directory and
itp4 being an Ultrix 4.3 box serving as NFS server for /home, I get
NFS: server itp4, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=43, slot=-1, len=0
and then the login shell (tcsh) hangs.
syslog says the same.
Now, when I stop the login script with ^c, I get into the linux machine.
When I then type "pwd"
I get the following console message on the Ultrix NFS server:
xdr_bytes: bad size FAILED
svcheckudp_send: xdr_replymsg failed
rfs_dispatch: sendreplay failed
which keeps repeating all over.
In the meantime, the linux shell hangs indefinitely.
Syslog says:
nfs: itp4 server not responding
manually mounting /home from the server works fine (as root).
When I change (as root) into /var/spool/mail, which is also amd mounted
from that same Ultrix server, I also get that "truncated" message when
that directory is mounted. Subsequently doing an ls only gives me the
first douzend or so mailboxes, with the other files being seemingly
nonexistant (they are still present on the server, but I don't know what
would happen if one tried an NFS write to that directory).
I have taken the amd src rpm and rebuilt it after upgrading to 2.2.3,
but this only made go away that "kernel is newer than nfs" (or similar)
warning message. It's am-utils-6.0a16-4.
Is this a known problem? Is my configuration at fault? Is it the
kernel's fault or amd's?
