Update!
Found a nice site and a good package with examples for using IPCHAINS as a
router, firewall and masq'ing.
Included opening the loopback interface, which I wasn't doing. I will try
setting it up and let you know if I get it working.

Can somebody please help me with having a working ppp connection while
at the same time have my LAN activated?
I must deactivate ethx in order to first connect to URLs. The same
happens to my LAN, if ppp is activated, I can't see, or move files
to computers on the LAN.
What should I do to make ppp and ethx like one another?

If you're referring to Novell's NDS, then yes. The newest Redhat 5.2
contains an NDS client called ncpfs, and is able to mount directoried on
Novell Fileservers (Not just bindery, but NDS too). Also, Caldera makes
a Novell-liscensed Netware server, which, if I'm not mistaken, works as
an NDS server.
Caldera also makes a more commercial-looking NDS client.

You'll need to get fixes for the drivers for the 3c905b. What RedHat
ships by default is broken for the 905*B*. The newer drivers can be

Hi Martin and Greg,
Thanks for both your replies... I will break the seal and see what
happens... I'd like to add a 4th question if you don't mind... namely I
already have Windows NT installed on my dual processor system, and have a
free partition on my HD... would Linux be able to coexist on the same HD
with NT, could I stick it in partition 4 and have it leave NT relatively
untouched? Anyway, while waiting for your reply, I'll be opening the seal
and trying to figure out which of the 4 enclosed Linux books to try
reading/printing (thank god for fast autoduplexing laser printers).
Thanks

Right, the new kernel 2.2.x code must be installed in a new directory
(defult is /usr/src/linux) from the previous version source, which is
/usr/src/linux-2.0.36. To do so, before installing new kernel source:
# rm /usr/src/linux
After installing kernel new source code (say version 2.2.3):
# mv /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.2.3
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.3 /usr/src/linux
Good luck.

Don't worry Reggie, if you are using a Redhat system, it does this
normally. Every night at midnight (or so I can't remeber exactly) it
runs a script called /etc/cron.daily/logrotate. This checks the
/etc/logrotate.conf file and as Redhat is set up by default, if it's
sunday it renames all the logs to a .1 the .1's to .2 and so on, keeping
at most up to .4. This is completely configurable in the /etc/logrotate
file.
Also, let me guess that you've only been running you system since some
time last week and since it's Sunday today, that's when it happened.

I'm running Red Hat 5.1, and am trying to set up a TCP/IP network.
Right now, I'm trying to get the dummy interface to work. The
following lines work fine:
ifconfig dummy 'hostname'
route add 'hostname'
But after rebooting, this interface disappears. All the books I have
talk about modifying the file /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, but I can't find
this file. I've heard that RedHat does this differently. So, what
files do I need to configure? I know that RH has a network control
panel, but I'd rather do it by hand. Any ideas? Thanks!

First is your IP static or dynamic second ping your dns server (use it's IP

up properely if you get no responce the you have some other setting messed up.

Yep. Much as I'd prefer to have the Windows box using IP Masq on the Linux
host instead, I have a satellite card that demands I run Windows, and
Sygate is about as close to IP Masq as I've been able to get.
>If so, could you let me know how.
1. All machines on the LAN have IP addresses from the private pool in
Windows' 'hosts' files and Linux's /etc/hosts (192.168.x.y, where x is
between 0 and 255, y is between 1 and 254).
2. The Sygate box has a name, like sygatebox (how original), so your
/etc/hosts has at least these two lines:
192.168.0.1 sygatebox
192.168.0.2 linuxbox
3. In Linux run this command:
route add default gw sygatebox
You can put it into /etc/rc.d/rc.local as the last line, so it gets run
every time you restart.
4. There is no step 4 -- that's all there is to it. You should now be able
to autodial by pinging an address not on your LAN, and get an answer back
once the connection is established.
If you are running Netscape, DO NOT set it up to use a proxy. As far
as your client boxes (Windows or Linux) are concerned, they all have a
"direct connection to Internet," which is unlike Wingate or other proxy
software.

The 3c905 drivers shipped with RH5.x are broken in several ways, I
would fetch an updated 3c905 driver from metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/...
and rebuild the kernel.
The driver is small enough to fit on a floppy, and it will just drop
in place of the existing file in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/

I'm amazed that so many people are interested in this and I know of a
product under development, but knowing the company doing it, it may
NEVER see the light of day. The company is NEC, and the Japanese don't
enter "new" markets first. This is a shame because they've got an IIOP
proxy server that works seemlessly. They run it with both Orbix and
Visibroker, and were working out a deal with IBM to integrate it with
their firewall (I don't know the name). It's based on SOCKS which NEC
jointly developed with another company (I think Aventail?). NEC also
has a software VPN product based on the same technology. It blows me
away to read how many people want this stuff, and to know that NEC is
sitting on it!
You should contact their marketing people!

You are looking for the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/network, now it isn't as
direct as rc.inet1, so I'll just give you the gist. Add a new file
called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-dummy. Model it after one
of the other ifcfg-* files. The network script looks through this
directory for all the ifcfg-* files and starts them all.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at bouvreuil.cybercable.fr.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local.

What intrigues me is the part:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Where did the ISP's server get that hostname from? My hostname inside
the LAN is lievre.coughlan.fr, and that never used to bother ISPs'
servers, until now.
In addition, I sent an e-mail to a friend in Canada, and when I saw my
sendmail logs ...

*** END INCLUDED TEXT ***
I confess I'm stumped. Does my ISP consider the above as my
hostname? If so, does that mean that I shan't be able to receive
e-mail until I change it? If I change it, will my ISP assign me a new
IP (bearing in mind that my IP isn't static)?
Please help ... no e-mail for almost ten hours, and already the hairs
in the palms of my hands is making it difficult to type ...

Thanks John!
I'm new to this and not sure which files to edit. Where can I find this
gateway and default route stuff?
Thanks again.
