I'm using it on a cable modem. When I plug the machine directly into the cable modem, I can get on the net (the cable modem uses DHCP as per usual). However, a Mac OS X laptop does not have any problems. Therefore, the problem presumably has something to do with the combination of the switch and the machine. The machine in question has a Broadcom card, and is using Debian's somewhat hacked around with tg3 driver, so I'm wondering if that could perhaps be causing the problem, and if so, whether switching to the bcm5700 would solve it. I can't imagine that if it works direct connected to the modem that it won't work through a switch. there is something else wrong in your network, would be my guess. try setting a static ip on the debian box and see if that works. I had an interesting problem with dhcp once. All was well between two linux machines (one was the dhcp server, one was the dhcp client) until Ichanged from a 10mb hub to a 10/100 auto-sensing netgear switch. Once I changed to the switch dhcp stoped working. I could even use the old hub during the booting process for the client to pick up an ip etc. then change over after boot and it would all work fine. The only problem was with the switch during the dhcp process. It turned out to be an issue with the network card and the switch negotiating a speed (10/100) or half or full duplex mode. To solve it, I updated the network card driver and all was well. I hope that helps. It's only another possibility. -- Matt Johnson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have VNC server setup as a service. This means that it's running before login - ie. you get a login screen when you run the vnc client... If this is what you want, I'll post the configs... It will be very nice. Kindly post not only config files, but also .vnc/ folder files These configs are probably insecure. It's what I use and don't plan on changing it. I use it at a primary school north of London. It's working very well indeed. I don't understand .vnc/ - sorry... please be more specific on what you'd like posted. Perhaps we're confused here. No user runs vnc - it gets run as a service, so anyone can get a login screen using a vnc client. Here's my configs... I just installed vncserver using apt-get, then editted these files (and made sure my firewall wasn't interfering)... === Add these TWO lines to the bottom of your /etc/inetd.conf file: vnc-800x600 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -geometry 800x600 -depth 24 -once -securitytypes=none vnc-1024x768 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 -once -securitytypes=none There are only two vnc lines at the end there - they may get wrapped by my email client.

Here's the two lines to add at the bottom of /etc/services # Local services vnc-800x600 5900/tcp vnc-1024x768 5901/tcp Then, depending what port you connect to, you get a different resolution.

So I now partition the client harddrive (e.g. /dev/hda1 30gb, /dev/hda5 5gb) and use sysrescue (with partimage on it) live cd to boot the client and image /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda5.

network boot cd?
Hi all, I have a great debian box that I have configured to allow logins via xdmcp (?). At the moment, I'm installing debian on the clients with working X install, then changing gdm.conf to point to our terminal server (the debian box). It all works a treat - but requires overkill installs on the harddrives of the clients - I'm well aware this is more than is needed. What I'd really like is this... A cd (knoppix like) that boots, configures network, configures x, then (and this is the crux) automatically does an X -query 192.168.0.250 (the ip of my wonderful terminal server). This makes a wonderfully easy and flexible cd that can be used anywhere on site to instantly turn a Windows box into a linux X client. It means no net driver worries or X config setups via ltsp (which is great if you have 50 similar machines - we don't - and floppies for ltsp are unreliable - and I don't have the time to configure genuine boot roms, etc.) Anyone know how to produce such a small modification to something that already exists? Such as Knoppix or preferebly something much smaller. *All* I need is network and X autoconfig - none of the applications that come on knoppix.

samba/pam/winbind username case
Hi all, Not sure whether to turn to smb.conf, my pam config or somewhere else to sort his one. Some pointers would be appreciated. I've got my debian terminal server authenticating from an NT server. Very pleased. It's even creating home directories on the debian machine with pam mk_homedir. Great.

I'll have 600 hundred lower case accounts and probably eventually 600 duplicate upper case accounts! Can I restrict it to either or. Or let it know that it doesn't need to assign a new dir for JSMITH if jsmith already exists.

Re: why debian
--- ken keanon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, There are so many distros out there its confusing. Any reason(s) why Debian should be the preferred choice? I switched after many happy years of using SuSE (which is a great distro to get started with). Debian has a package and dependency management system that makes upgrading a breeze. Apt-get changed how I view OS's. For instance, with SuSE I found myself having to aquire CD's if a new release came out and I wanted the latest gear (they do an ftp installation which trails a little behind the CD releases, but is a *new* release - upgrades from, for example, SuSE 8.2 to 9 weren't slick). Sure, you could download patches or security updates for the packages you already had, but upgrading KDE or the like was never as easy as it was supposed to be. With Debian, I've set my install source to Debian Sarge and I just run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade on a weekly basis. I will always be up to date. Also, seeing the direction RedHat have moved in (which I'm not intentionally judging here) made me nervous. I was installing SuSE in schools here in the UK, but ended up with 7.1 in school 'A', 7.2 in school 'B', 8.1 in school 'C' etc. And what if SuSE decided to follow RedHat's model? My main selling point to schools is financial: I can get a Windows2000 server license *very* cheaply through my Local Education Authority. So I needed to switch to a *community* based distro. One where a company didn't dictate the direction. I wanted to know that the distro I was becoming familiar with, and promoting, and advocating was still going to be *free* (free and free), easily obtainable and philosophically sound. To sum up: Debian is... 1. Easily maintained and upgradable, 2. Not beholdened to the decisions of people looking at the bottom line.

debian specific pam winbind setup
Hi all, I want to authenticate a debian sarge box from an NT4 server. getent passwd reveals both debian accounts and NT4 accounts. I have winbind working, using the smb.conf additions suggested in the man winbind. The manual then goes on to describe the /etc/pam.d/* settings. It's brief and vague and understandably, not debian specific, even using the phrase something like this when outlining the pam changes to be made. Looking at my debian sarge model of /etc/pam.d/* I'm thoroughly lost. I've looked at the pam tutorials, and tried. I've locked myself out numerous times while trying to find my way through (but left a ssh session logged in to restore the pam.d directory). I have tried putting the lines from the manual into common-auth and common-account. Nothing. Could someone with debian/pam/winbind experience point me in the right direction, or mail me their pam configs. I know I'm close... I can smell success. Thanks -- Matt Johnson ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!

net protection - firewalls
Hi all, Two comments in recent threads have prompted me to ask this... Firstly, someone mentioned that ipmasq isn't a firewall, but is a good starting point. And secondly, there's been talk of people receiving attempts to crack their machines, which I guess must be happening to me too. Ok. I installed ipmasq on my linux 'gateway' for NATing (I think that's correct?) my linux and windows home machines that sit behind it. It's been running for about 3 months. I don't have any firewalls on the machine behind the gateway, so the gateway is the only security. I've left ipmasq as it comes out of the box and it all seems to work fine. Is this insecure? Which log should I be checking for possible intruders? Action for me... I was wondering if I understand this correctly - I could replace ipmasq with firehol (which is 'stateful'?)? Are they interchangable? Do they do the same thing? Are they both called 'firewalls' of sorts? Or should I just leave well alone and keep a watchful eye somewhere? Thanks in advance. -- Matt ___ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: net protection - firewalls
--- John Summerfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hosts on the internet can only connect to other hosts that they can see. In you case, they can see your gateway, but not the rest of the LAN. Mostly, hosts on the internet can only connect to ports that are open. I say mostly, because there have been bugs in various IP stacks that allowed other hosts to do evil things without finding an open port. Probably the most famous was Teardrop that affected, amongst other things, Windows 95, Windows 98 (well after the fix for Windows 95 was released!) and Linux. Famously, the Linux fix was available in less than 24 hours. Mostlly, though, attacks succeed through open ports such as 25 (incoming mail) 80 (web servers) and such. Actually, a firewall isn't going to do a lot to help you there _unless_ you have one that detects bad traffic (such as connects to ports nobody has any business connecting to on _your_ system) and then denies access to from the bad side to all your network. ISPs could do a lot of good here by detecting code red (it's still around) and other nasties and a) Shutting down sources in their own networks b) shutting out sources from outside their networks. You can use firewall software on your gateway to block and log all traffic you don't want. You will see lots of traffic from people hammering on your door. This can also help to block connexions to misconfigured daemons on your gateway: if you happen to be running postgresl there, you could have it listening to all IP addresses, but connexion from external hosts can't reach it because your firewall rules block them. Better, of course, to configure postgresql properly, but that can be tricky. Writing firewall rules using iptables is not a task for a beginner, and there are several higher-level packages available to help with the task. I use shorewall, but there are others. Now, despite your firewall, there's traffic that comes right through it _at your invitation,_ no less! Consider www requests such as that 26 Mbyte SP2 for XP. Email. Those can do bad things too, and that's where content filters such as spamassassin (email), MimeDefang (email), Squidguard, DansGuardian and your AV software come in.

I figure this is a good way in - the machine are donated and have no OS on them, so I have a strong argument here. 1. Debian is impressive. I'm using testing and I'm very pleased with the ease and quality of the software so far. 2. It's been a breeze to set up XDMCP through GDM. Nice for a novice.
