Subject: RH5.1,PPP server to win95 with shadow
Date: 17 Mar 1999 15:12:05 GMT
I am trying to setup a RH5.1 box to be a ppp server
to win95 boxes.
The server has RH5.1, PPP2.2.0, shadow passwords and mgetty.
mgetty works ok for normal logins, ppp works ok for a user to dial
in and manually start, using pppd as a shell.
but when I try to get mgetty to do autoppp then the win95
box gets a refused login.
heres what the messages file says
Mar 17 06:36:12 linux1 PAM_pwdb[337]: (login) session closed for user root
Mar 17 06:36:56 linux1 PAM_pwdb[372]: bad username [/AutoPPP/]

Mar 17 06:36:59 linux1 login[372]: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM (null) FOR
!}!}"} }, User not known to the underlying authentication module
I have compiled mgetty with -DAUTO_PPP and
set the login.config to /AutoPPP/- - /usr/sbin/pppd
What have I missed ???

At this point you can safely say that your second ethernet card has not
been found.
Since you say they work individually I assume you have linked the base
io address so they are different and do not overlap?
A machine we have, has 2 different ehternet cards, the file
/etc/conf.modules has the lines
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 ne
options eth1 io=0x300
You could try some variation on this for your system....I would guess
the io settings here would replace those you had in lilo.conf.
RedHat keeps individual network card settings in the files
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx (x = 0,1,2 etc). These files
are picked up when the network script is executed from /etc/rc.d/init.d

I was sent this link by email, and haven't seen it posted.
it is a solid reference for all the 1{0,00}Base-T{X,F,4}
stuff.
http://wwwhost.ots.utexas.edu/ethernet/
It looks like the cabling FAQ has an error in the section named:
11.0 Standard Networking Configurations
where it says:
...
Ethernet 10Base-T uses pairs 2 and 3 (pins 1-2, 3-6)
Ethernet 100Base-T4 uses pairs 2 and 3 (4T+) (pins 1-2, 3-6)
Ethernet 100Base-T8 uses pairs 1,2,3 and 4 (pins 4-5, 1-2, 3-6, 7-8)
This section in the FAQ appears to be false since:
-T8 doesn't exist
-T4 uses all 8 wires
-TX uses the same pairs as 10Base-T, but isn't mentioned.
and hence my utter confusion at making a crossover cable.
Apparently, crossover cables for 100Base-TX need to be class 5 all the
way, so snipping the cable and patching it back together is just
asking for problems. In that case 100Base-T4 is the way to go.
Thanks to all for the answers!

my system: redhat 5.1, kernel 2.2.3, tulip.c version 0.89k
Too many problems with this Netgear card
I try to ping to itself, but always got errors like this:
my ip: 192.168.1.2

#ping 192.168.1.2
>ping: sendto: Invalid argument

Can somebody give me hints to solve it?
Thanks.
Also, please tell me how to:
. change from half-duplex to full-duplex or to auto-egotiation
.change transmit threshold from 72 to 256
Last problem:
. activate ethernet card, then internet is disabled.
Hope receive some suggestions.

Hi
Just found the real good looking program Cheops. Just one small problem...

I get the message "No hosts discovered", and I know there are alot of hosts

Is there some simple configuration that's wrong.
Any suggestions?

Subject: shaper on FTP
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 20:56:09 GMT
I'd like to use the traffic shapper for all FTP traffic but everything else I
want to send through the regular eth0. So I say:
shapecfg attach shaper0 eth0
shapecfg speed shaper0 450000
ifconfig shaper0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.2.3.255 up
then what? I need to specify the FTP to route through the shaper somehow.
Thanks,

Yes, I was utterly perplexed by this too.
So in desparation I RTFM (man smbmount).
Gee the new smbmount syntax is weird!
Anyone know where I can find more detailed documentation on the workings of
smbfs? The stuff in the kernel release notes, SMB-HOWTO and Samba WWW site
only scratches the surface.
smbfs mounts seem to stop working after a while and have to be unmounted and
remounted before they work again.

I ran into this tonight after running Comanche, the GUI configuration
tool. If you open the http.conf file in an editor like emacs, you can
comment out the lines, they should be 158-161, The error message gives
the line #s. This will get httpd up. Then go back into the docs and
figure out why its spitting up on these lines. I haven't gotten that far
yet. Evidently, Comanche adds/changes something that Apache doesn't care
for, 'cause this happened only after using Comanche. httpd had started
fine before.

PHP (http://www.php.net) can do the same as ASP and even includes a
tool to convert ASP to PHP. MySQL (http://www.mysql.org) is a very
capable database for most purposes, especially in combination with
PHP. If you want something big try the Sybase or Informix-to-Linux
ports.

I have a small 5 machine network, 1 NTW 4, 1 Win98, 2 linux mini
distribution on diskless workstations and then one SUSE 5.2 linux server. I
have DHCP loaded on the Linux Server and can ping every client on the
network. all the workstation can ping the server. Connectivity is there and
working. I loaded samba 2.0.2 and configured the smb.conf file. the testparm
utility checks out fine and all works. The SUSE linux box appears in my
Network Neighberhood. My problem: I can connect to any NT or Win 98 share
using the smbclient from the server. I can even connect to the server from
the serer using the smbclient. I can not access the Server from any
workstation or client. I get a message stating that the user is not
authorised to log on to the Linux server.
Any help welcome

I've further investigated it, and it looks like this problem occurs when
configuring lynx with --disable-full-paths.
As an unrelated extra observation, the --libdir= and --includedir= config
options seem to be ignored.
My slang libs are in /usr/local/lib, and they are not found during the
final linking of the binary (they ought to be even without --libdir=,
since configure finds and uses it).
