Yes, you're right. I had education but no experience and it works other way
around too. In another location of my employer the departments UNIX admin

OK, here's the problem. I have two machines. One (snowwhite.boss.and.lad)
is connected to our internal network through which it has access to DNS
servers, a web proxy and a NNTP server. The second (ewrcsdra.demon.co.uk)
has a modem which is used purely for email (there is a good reason why I am
not doing email through our internal network). The machines are connect via
another ethernet cable. Snowwhite is running ip-masquerading which seems to
work fine (both machines can be used for web browsing without any problems).
I have one shared /var/spool/mail directory mounted on snowwhite.
I have configured sendmail as instructed in the redhat install guide (I'm
running 5.2) section 11.7. The relevant entries in snowwhite's sendmail.cf
are:
DRewrcsdra
DHewrcsdra
DMewrcsdra.demon.co.uk
grumpy's sendmail.cw file reads
snowwhite.boss.and.lad
snowwhite
External email works fine. Mail can be send from either machine and always
appears to come from ewrcsdra. Mail sent to ewrcsdra can be read from
either machine.
Unfortunately, local mail seems to have some problems. mailq on snowwhite
gives:

Does anyone have any ideas?

Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 20:43:43 -0700
Hello,
I'm about at the point of shooting myself in the foot.
I have IP Masquerading installed, so my 3 other computers can access the
internet through my linux server.
However, I can't get 2.0.3 to install properly. Whenever I run smbstatus,
it comes back with the version that installed with RH 5.1...1.9.18p5.
I need access to the linux machine to update web pages and what not (and
I'd also like to just have it available <g>).
If anyone can point me in the right direction to get it to install
properly, I'd appreciate it. I run ./configure --with_smbmount (or
with-smbmount...whatever the syntax is for smbmount) and it goes fine.
However, make, and make install give errors at the end...
Thank you,

I may be off here as you may already have this program, but have you
tried using WebAdmin? It's available off the Simba main page. Not only
does it manage Simba, but also many other system functions. It's
something to look into, anyway.

Don't know if this helps, but maybe you can try the Linux hardware
compatibility guide
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html
to see if you're card is supported. I run a 3COM 3C905 on about 7 machines
and have had no problems.
There may be other howtos to help you configure your specific card.
I've got other links at http://www.emuse.net that might help to. That's a
portal site I compiled to help me in my day-to-day Linux work.
Good luck,

Check to see if the modem is configured for v.120 protocol.
Otherwise you probably won't see a terminal.

First of all, Thank you everyone for the help. I was able to get a bindery
connection to my Netware Servers. Now what I would like to do is get an
NDS connection, and possibly make Linux look like a netware server
The Netware for Linux package from Caldera is supposed to be NDS aware, as
well as having the NDS admin tools available and NWClient software,
unfortunately it was compiled for 2.0.35. They don't offer source code for
this product, so I can't recompile on a different Kernel. Any
suggestions???
Thaks in advance.

My system is set to the maximum allowable file handles (without a kernel
hack). I seriously doubt that that is the problem. One of those three
programs (Postgres, PHP, or Apache) is not closing it's files properly. What
I need is a way to tell which of those three have the files open. My system
doesn't get hit enough to have truely run out of file handles.

If you think that you had privacy before this, boy you live in a
bubble. Look at cell phones, ISPs, Credit card companies, Banks.
Cell phone companies can tell what block you are standing on and what
you are saying. This info is accessible by police.
ISP companies can log every email that you send out and where you
visit on the net.
Credit card companies have logs of what you buy and where you buy it.
They can sell this to other companies
Banks are in the same situation as credit card companies, especially
if you have debit card access.
Privacy is a nonissue. It is more of can you accept that this is
there.

Subject: Any Masquerading Guru's out there?
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 20:34:40 GMT
Background:
I am running Suse kernel 2.2.3 and have the requisite config files
in the kernel for ipchains:
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_CHAINS=y
CONFIG_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
I see two NICs with boot (from dmesg : eth0: VIA VT3043 Rhine at
0xd000, 00:80:c8:e6:52:59, IRQ 3. eth0: MII PHY found at address 8,
status 0x782d advertising 05e1 Link 0000. PCI latency timer (CFLT) is
unreasonably low at 32. Setting to 64 clocks. eth1: VIA VT3043 Rhine at
0xb800, 00:80:c8:e6:38:70, IRQ 10. eth1: MII PHY found at address 8,
status 0x7809 advertising 05e1 Link 0000.
Problem: How does one setup IPchains to allow filtering and setting up
of class C reserved names with IPchains ie I want to masquarade the
clients on the internal lan ? I have a static IP for linux box/hub and a
couple of clients on a small baseT LAN.
Therefore can any network gurus out there answer:
1.How to setup private network that is assigned 192.168.1.* addresses,
with my host being 192.168.1.0, and the firewall's Ethernet interface
being assigned 192.168.1.1.
2. How does one setup the firewall to masquerade any packets coming
from the private network and going to port 80 on an Internet host.
3.Configure Netscape to be connect directly.
4.Setup DNS correctly on the private network.
5. Set the firewall as the default route (aka gateway) for the private
network.
