3 nic and routing
Hi, I am trying to setup a linux (debian potato, kernel 2.2.19) box as a firewall . I have 3 nics on it. First one(210.212.236.97) connected to my cisco router. 2rd card (eth1) to internal lan with pvt ips. Third(eth2) (210.212.236.113) one to a hub which connects to my machines with public ips (my dmz).my dmz has proxy/mail/web servers. I am able to ping to router access net from the firewall but able to ping even the router (210.212.236.105) from other machines connected to eth1 or eth2. From all machines, I can ping all cards in the firewall.

nfs server -- please help
Hi, We in our university, have a linux network with the nfs server on debian potato machine connected to around 30 machines. The file server runs a samba server also. All the machines are connected via utp cables using a 10mbps hub. The setup works fine when all clients runs windows nt and the linux fileserver beautifully serves all clients. But if all clients run linux, we get the following error message from almost half the clients and the clients crashes for a long time. nfs: task 5285 can't get a request slot Any ideas on how to sort it. It cannot be due to hardware as the same machine runs windows nt well. We are using automout in the clients for mounting the filesystems. Is due to the 10mbps hub ? Our students are in trouble when they use linux because of this problem. Thanks in advanace.. Suresh PS.

authentication problem in apache in debian
Hello, A software called webct (written in perl) runs beautifully in a redhat box while it shows an authentication error in debian. The webct installs it's own apache and the error is from apache's authenticationmechanism. With my little knowledge I found that the authentication details are kept in two files called dbm_pass.dir and dbm_pass.pag. These files get modified when we add users to webct. But these newly created accounts are not allowed to login as webct shows error message. If we use dbmmanage to check the entries with these files, that also shows error. If we successfully add users using dbmmanage to these files, then also webct fails in authentication. The webct people say that they no longer support debian but only redhat. I am not inclined to change to redhat back after using debian for a long time just for webct. So any gurus there to help me out? I am surprised why a perl program behaves differently in debian and redhat while both similar platforms.

Web interface for spice
Dear fellow debians, Kindly excuse me if this posting was completely in a wrong list. A group of students of my university is interested developing a web interface for the berkeley spice program which has been ported to linux by someone. The advantage of having such an interface is that it would help everybody with a browser to use the linux version of spice which is all powerful with no limitations of number of devices unlike the popular microsim spice eval versions which work under MS. The professional versions of spice with no model limitations costs huge money.

If I mount a cdrom and nfs mount it on some other machines, even after the other machine is switched off, I am unable to umount the cdrom ~~~ Please elaborate. Do you mean you just shutdown the other machine ? Or that you umount the cdrom ? Theoritically I should be able to unmount without shutting down nfsd isntit?

Re: Install-boot failure
Hi, In my case, on one machine, I tried with boot diskette, the two cdroms(slink and potato), but in all cases, I got stuck with the same problem. So as of now, all options of installing debian (local + thru net) seems gone.

If your going to install potato, I would suggest trying the network based install with 2 floppies (if you have a fast enough network connection). It is the easiest and keeps the system uptodate with the latest. Or else I would try burning another CD. Good luck. -Dinesh --- Suresh Kumar.R [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, When I try to boot from the debian slink or potato cd, the boot process apparently hangs with the following line: FDC 0 is a post - 1991 82077 md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8 The interesting thing is , we are able to put Redhat linux into the same machine. We are trying to remove redhat to put debian. Any ideas? Suresh - Suresh Kumar.R Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept of Electronics Communication College of Engineering, Trivandrum - 695 016 INDIA

I wanted to use apt-get to install the rest of the system. I can't seem to get my modem to dial up though. Are there any good document pages (http) that explain how to set up dial up scripts? My modem is on ttys3 (com4). So far, I've been looking in /etc/ppp/* and have not understood what to do. Do I need some type of chat script?

autofs and nis
Hi, How do we know that the auto.master and other autofs files are available on the client machine via nis ? What I mean is , on a client machine we can check for the availability of the passwd files by typing ypcat passwd. What is auto*.* equivalent. Should we do anything on the nis server to make them(autofs files) shareable via nis ? Pl sent a cc of your reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] also.

Window manager not starting on upgrade to potato
Hi, I upgraded my deb 2.1 to potato. There were no error messages during the upgrade, but now after the upgrade no window managers are starting. I get just a blank xterm like stuff and if I run fvwm95, fvwm95 window manager starts as expected. But it doesnt come automatically as we log in. The file /etc/X11/window-managers contains the following line as the first one /usr/bin/X11/fvwm95 Any ideas?
