You're looking for ntop. Do a web search on it (or linuxberg).
It's free too.

Mark,
You need to add the shell you are using when you login as root to the
/etc/shells file. Then it will let you telnet to linux machine.

Greetings,
The simpliest is NFS.
Server: 192.168.0.1 server
/etc/hosts
192.168.0.1 server
129.168.0.2 client
a directory /data exists on server, ensure it has read/write for users
and groups
/etc/exports
/data client(rw,no_root_squash)
running the nfs daemon
verify by:
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d
S55nfs
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs status
if not running start by
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
then check status
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs status
if running then
Client: 192.168.0.2 client
/etc/hosts
192.168.0.1 server
192.168.0.2 client
/etc/fstab
server:/data /data nfs users,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto,bg,soft 1 1
issue command on client
mount server:/data
or
mount /data
cd /data
ls -l
you should see all the files if the proper attributes are set on the
server.
Works like a champ. Great to be used as a single file server holding
all the most recent updated rpm files to upgrade enmass clients:-)

traceroute to the IP address and write 'admin@' 'abuse@' the last
couple domains you come across on the traceroute. ISPs don't tend to
like it when downstream ISPs allow crackers to continue.

Most distros will not allow a telnet or any remote login from root by
default (as it should be.) It's not in the shells, it's in
/etc/security/access.conf

I have a RH 6.0 Linux server and a Windows 95 workstation.
I used to be able to browse the Linux server use Network Neighborhood,
But I am unable to now.
I also get messages as follows:

Check your networking startup scripts. It's calling for a bogus

don't forget linux passwords/logins are case sensitive, also win98 encypts
the password so you may have to turn that off. I can't remember how though.
you need to add a line into the registry.
[ Just remembered :) ]
I think there was a script on the win98 CD that did it actually, have a
trawl around the CD it was in reskit or something like that. it is on there
as I use that. when you find it, right click and select install then just
reboot and it should be OK.

I don't know what's wrong with yours, since I'm fairly new, myself.
I do know that my Linksys EC2T works with thin coax just fine under card
services, so it's not
a support issue.

Greetings,
I didn't catch any of the previous posts so I'll just jump in :-).
I don't know if you are attempting to run two nics at once or you R&R'd
the two. I'll presume the later. If so, the kernal will find only the
first one, if plug and pray and set at the default settings used during
auto-probing. It will fine the first and stop and continue with the
rest of the boot process.
at the command line after bootup:
modprobe 3c59x
You should the card configured, IF set at default settings, if not, the
card is NOT set at default settings. These parameters will have to be
passed as
insmod 3c59x 0x330,10
this of course assumes the card seetings are io = 330 and irq = 10
if so you will see the card initialized, and to note the above settings
are auto-probed so just try
insmod 3c59x
all should go well.
if not goto this url:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/index.html#PCI
once the card has been successfully manually added, then edit
/etc/modules.conf
alias eth1 3c59x
alias 3c59x options=ioport,irq and other necessary options here
This should get you well on your way..

Greetings,
Recompiling Samba for encryted passwords is a no go, reason, to use
encryted passwords, you must:
/etc/smb.conf
[global}
encrypt passwords = yes
null paswords = no
username map = /etc/smbusers
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
update encryted = yes or no
password server = xxxx if using a NT domain controller
min passwd length = x
passwd program = /bin/passwd
passwd chat = a script file
passwd level = ?
username level = ?
unix passwd sync = yes/no
and for trouble shooting
log level = 10
debug = 10
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 5
The above parameters are used for encrypted passwds, you may not use all
of them depending on your desires.
To verify use of unencrypted or encrytped passwords by the client,
ensure you have a log file of reach machine. Set the /etc/smb.conf
GLOBAl parameter debug = 10, attempt to use the share or login to the
domain. Inspect the log file for the supplied client username, right
infront of it is the password that was passed by the client. Can you
read this word just as if you had of typed it on the client, if yes, the
client is using unencrypted paswords. If it looks like garble, then
encrypted passwords or being used.
If encrypted passwords are being used by the client you can do 1 of 2
things. Aplly the PlainTextPasswords to the Win registry
or
enable encrypted passwords on the samba shares. Apply the above global
parameters, read the manual of course, check and become familiar with
the log file of each client.
here is the format for the following files.
if you are using a client name and you wish it to be mapped to a
different username on the linux machine, then you must have a
/etc/smbusers file
unixname = smbname smbname smbname
the smbname can be one name or many
example of samba users
admin = bill administrator admin supervisor
nobody = guest pcguest anonymous
user1 = jack jill bobby
user2 = ray nathan robert sam
the names on the left or UNIX names, names of users on the LINUX
machine, while the names on the right are the names of the client users.
UNIX uid of the above example:
admin 100
user1 501
user2 502
/etc/smbpasswd
unixname:uid:32 X's:32 X's:user identifier:user shell
admin:100:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:SysGod:/bin/bash
user1:501:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:jackJillBobby:/bin/bash
user2:502:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:RayNathanRobertSam/bin/bash
user3:503:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:NO
PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:anotheruser:/bin/bash
The username and UID MUST match that of the /etc/passwd file!
Then issue the command smbpasswd admin and for each user. This will
generate a password hash on the right side of the above example. Do
this for each user. Now if you wish then to use no passwords, then in
the right side use NO
Bill attempts to login using the client, the request is then sent ot the
smb server, if domain logins apply, then a domain login will be
attempted, if domain logins are used or not, the steps are as follows,
client name is checked again the /etc/passwd file, if found, then the
/etc/smbpasswd file is checked for a translation of the client passwd to
be verified, then the unix passwd hash is used to pass to the linux
passwd file. Now if the client name WAS NOT found, the the
/etc/smbusers file is check to see if a client name is translated to a
UNIX name, if not, then the connect aborts and closes. Now if there is
a client name to UNIX name mapping, then the unix name is looked up in
the /etc/paswd file, the uid is then checked and verified, if good, it
will then do a password hash check, if this is good, then the user is
allowed access to the samba shares as a NON-GUEST. Now if you have
[global] smb.conf guest = yes, and the unknown client name will be
named to the default guest name of nobody unless specified directly.
Now remember the above will definitely get you up to speed in using
encrypted passwords. READ the log files, they contain valuable info when
things are not working correctly. The examples shipped with each distro
do not allow really quick setup of samba services. It really depends on
what you want to do. The services is highly flexibile, so the
possibilities of providing a great working smb.conf file without knowing
the specifications is almost pointless. However, the more time you
spend debugging problems, will serve you well in the future should
problems arise. Then it is so simple. Experience.. Once setup
properly, smb services will reward you with a fine seamless file and
printing experience for all.
Good luck,
Bill...

It's called a router.
Put two nics into the box, make sure they both work, on the subnet
they're supposed to be connected to, that you have a default route set
up and make sure you have ipforwarding turned on. If you want to use it
ONLY as a router, recompile the kernel for 'optimize as router, not
host'.
Turn off ALL services (possibly except sendmail for messages) and if
you're using it as a firewall too (or it's your first box inside your
home/office) then check out ipchains and ipmasquerading.

It looks more like it is one ip with 2 hosts. This can be handled by
Web-Servers when they look at the "Host:" header. This Header can be
analysed (togeher with the URL). MS Proxy for example has this reverse proxy
feature. It is nothing you will usually do in kernel space.. unless you have
some inspect or LinuxDirector Engine doing it.
Greetings
