ProFTPD problem downloading from mounted FS
Hi All I'm trying to organize remote access to files on user computers running Win9x. For this on my linux serevr with ProFTPD installed in /home/user Name I make dir compName and ncpmount the hole Win9x computer of this user. In shell I can access all mounted files without any problems. But when I try to connect via ftp I can list files, get them in TEXT mode, but when I try to download any file in Binary mode I got 426 Transfer aborted in ftp-client and data_sendfile error 22: Invalid argument in log files. I try to ncpmount this with different options (user/group, all rights granted) but nothing change anything. When in place of Win9x comp with Novell share I use another unix with exported nfs, every thing work as expected. Can someon tell me what's the difference in NFS mount and NCPount and/or in downloading files via ProFTPD and copying them at command prompt. TIA alex

Network (internet) problems
Hi, all Some time ago I find out that I have some kind of communication problems over internet with some hosts. It looks like dead connection. for example: I open a pop3 connection to some host with telnet. I can login and retr small messages with no problem. (small = 10k) I can even retr such messages several times in sequence so that total session traffic come up to 100k. But if I try to retr a large message (30k) after some amount of packets other side stop responding. I use tcpdump and notice that the last packet of hanged session was sent by my host. But after few minutes I receive response from other side say that connection from my host was closed due to timeout. While all this is taking place I can still reach that host by ping or opening another session and work without any problems (if I'm not tring to retr large messages). I'm a newbye in tcp connection internals so I can't enterprete tcpdump's output well. May be some one can show me where I can get info on how all this internet connections are constucted. Any other advise on how to solve that problem TIA alex

CD burning problems
Hi all, I'm trying to burn data CD under linux using mkhybrid (ver 1.12a4.7-3) and cdrecord (ver 1:1.6final-0.2) on Traxdata CDR4120. I have to read this CD under Win so I used the following: mkhybrid -J -v -o image path of prototype cdrecord speed=4 dev=00,03,00 -v -pad image This commands' output seems to be all right. And the disk was readable. The problem apper later (when I've burned several CDs). Each CD contain one or several small files that were unreadable! This file(s) was unreadable under Win and under Linux. More overe when I try to issue dd if=/dev/cdrom of=some file it report read error near (or at) the end of disk. My last image created with mkhybrid was still on disk and when I try to mount it through loop dev ALL files were readable. My machine is also biitable under Win98 and when I burn CD with CeQuadrat for Win9x I have no problems with CDs. can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I hope that it's possible to burn perfect CD without rebooting to Win. Alex

Controlling access to PPP - server
Hi all I'm trying to organize private ppp - server on debian mashine. I've installed 3 modems on ttyS0 - ttyS2, mgetty with AutoPPP configured and pppd (ver 2.3.5-2). I've created 3 option files (/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0, ...,S2) with lines like xxx.xxx.xxx.8:xxx.xxx.xxx.9 in options.ttyS0 xxx.xxx.xxx.8:xxx.xxx.xxx.10 in options.ttyS1 xxx.xxx.xxx.8:xxx.xxx.xxx.11 in options.ttyS2 I've also created /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file containing clients ID's and passwords Everything works OK. But now I'd like to select which user can connect to which modem. As Each modem is assigned its own ip address I try to specify user's personal IP address in chap-secrets file. Now when user try to connect to another modem he should be anable to configure IP as IP-address provided foe modem in options file differs from one allowed for him. The problem is that when such user connects to another modem he is assigned IP address allowed for him in chap-secrets overriding option.ttyS? file and connection is allowed ! May be I'm trying to do this in a wrong way? Can anybody suggest me how can I achieve such control of ppp - users? TIA Alex
