Mr. Roberts,
In /etc/fstab, I have an entry like:
servername:/home/tarozax /home/backup nfs rw,addr=192.168.3.1,uid=500 0
0
When I try to mount it, I get,
[root@servername /etc]# mount servername:/home/tarozax
unknown nfs mount parameter: uid=500
So I don't think I'm doing it right. I can't mount it manually either if
I use the uid option.

Hi,

Hello I'm a newbie in networking
I've a Linux box I've configured to act as proxy server for my LAN, i
use a ISDN link with dynamic IP.
The problem is that kernel continue to connect my provider and hang-up
after 60 sec.
I've turned off SAMBA and the eth0 device to prevent LAN interaction.
It seems to be a routing problem, but i don't know how redhat manage
such options
Technical Details :
RH 5.2
Kernel 2.2.2
Packages and scripts from http://sites.inka.de/picard/rh52_isdn.html
ISDN driver hisax teles 16.3
I use ippp0 as default gateway
I'm using SuSE with same situation, but there shouldn't be much
difference.
When you get connected /etc/ppp/ip-up is called with these
parameters:
INTERFACE=$1
DEVICE=$2
LOCALIP=$4
REMOTEIP=$5
so you can setup your route:
case `basename $0` in
ip-up)
/sbin/route add default gw $REMOTEIP dev $INTERFACE
;;
ip-down)
/sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE down
sleep 1
/sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE your.gw.ip pointopoint fake.provider.ip
;;
ip-down is a symlink to ip-up
s. also in /doc/packages/i4l/README.IPPP
Hope this helps

Take a look at httpd.conf to see what username/group it runs as. I bet you
two virtual beers it'll be User 'nobody' and Group 'nobody'. If you want to
change it to 'anonymous', then do it here and restart your server. This
should be in the Apache docs.

Some ISPs are using newer equipment that has different timing values for

your network also has a mac address. this address is used only by
your local network. I machine on a different network send you info,
they only know the ip address, this is send to the router the router
only know the mac address and ip address in your local network. If it
cannot find the destination, it forwards it the the next router which
again only know the mac address and ip address if its local network.
it does on the otherhand know which router to send it to based on ip
routing tables. this process is repeated until it finds the router
that knows the destination ip address and sends it to the isp's router
which then looks up the mac address and places the ip packet on th
ethernet with the destination ip and mac address only knowing the
source ip not mac. mac addresses are NOT forwareded accross even
subnets.
and just to show off, ISP equipment like an ascend or 3com total
control that has 48 modems, all 48 modems have the SAME mac address.
the modem server knows which modem to send it out on based on ip
address.

If you do this
cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.3
you will have /boot/System.map-2.2.3, so you can
cd /boot
rm System.map
ln -s System.map-2.2.3 System.map
The command line
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.1.img 2.2.1
should be
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.3.img 2.2.3
for version 2.2.3
(The example in the RedHat kernel update document is for ver 2.2.1.)

If you compile the ethernet drivers into the kernel by selecting

It seems that your new kernel can only detect the 3Com card but cannot
find the NE2000 card.
To solve the problem, you may check if there is IRQ / IO conflict in your
system with the NE2000 card.
If not, try to specify the IRQ / IO_ADDR of the NE2000
by adding
append="linux eth0=0x300,5"
in the section of the new kernel in /etc/lilo.conf
where 0x300,5 is the IO address and IRQ of your NE2000 resp.
Of course, make sure you have selected [Y] for NE2000 and
then do
lilo -v
again and re-boot.

Hi,
I,ve got a Micropoint Iliission with the pcmcia-cs-3.0.8 module combined
with 2.2.3 Linux Kernel. Starting PCMCIA freezes the machine.
probe -m shows an i82365 like pcmcia chipset in my machine. Still, loading
the modules by hand shows that all other related modules don't cause a
crash, but the i82365 does
When i relay the output to logfiles it only shows the module going in for a
restart... and then it stops.
How to debug this?
Anyone has a clue how to handle this.?

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

Put one of them onto a different IRQ and try again. While the PCI
architecture allows proper IRQ sharing , not all the Linux
drivers do as well.

Perhaps, if there is no need for *any* form of privacy, we
should all send our messages via postcard, using the most
efficiently OCR'd font possible, so that the "Authorities"
know that we're knuckling under.
As for "Authorities", who do you trust? All organizations
that *I* know of are composed of human beings. If any of
them took an interest in me I would not like to have all of
my life open for examination...
Remember what McCarthy taught us all in the fifties- even
someone with a "clean" record can have it mis-interpreted
and twisted to suit an "Authorities" goals.
The Bill of Rights in the US isn't just a good idea- It's
the law (all of which are threatening to the "Powers that Be"
which explains why they are all threatened).
As for Linux, it'd be interesting to have a physical key (like
a PCMCIA slot in the front panel) for a PGP decryptor card so
that we can have encrypted filesystems, though I'd be concerned
that such a device can be "spoofed" (though an Open Source
environment is much like a "free society"- I can protect others
because I'm protecting myself).
Now...
Have I muddied the waters enough?
