[expert] Configuration de mon réseau avec DHCP
Bonjour, j'ai un petit problème avec Mandrake (7.0 ou 7.1 même combat). A l'installation je lui indique que mon IP est attribué dynamiquement (via un DHCP), je laisse donc le champ IP vide. Première question: dois-je mettre quand même quelque chose? Après l'installation, j'utilise Drakconf pour configurer le réseau. Je lui donne un joli nom de machine et fait de même dans l'adaptateur1 (nom + alias), la aussi je laisse le champ IP vide vu que j'utilise DHCP. Tout marche bien sauf que quand je ping ma machine avec son nom (ou son nom alias) cela ne marche pas. Avec ifconfig j'ai récupéré son IP et en pingant avec l'IP cela marche fort heureusement. Commment me sortir de cette situation, sachant qu'il m'est bien évidemment impoosible de fournir mauellement l'IP de ma machine à toutes les autres du réseau (il y en a une centaine!) pour partager des fichiers. Merci. Pierre-Yves

[expert] Proxy/router setup How-To
Just want to know of a good resource on setting up a proxy server/router using linux. What I want to do is have 1 machine for my proxy that also provides my internet connection to 3 other boxes. The 3 machines also need to be able to transfer data between themselves. The box I want to use is a P133Mhz machine w/32Mb, 4 NIC's (1 in/3 out), and Mandrake 7.0

Last I used it, it only checks for an "external" interface, and an "internal" interface. Since it's going to be acting as a switch instead of a router (1 NIC card for each machine it's connecting to) there will be 3 internals. PMFirewall doesn't think in terms of multiple internal network interfaces. It's probably not too difficult to hack in, but you may have better luck with something else that can do what you want out of the box. If you weren't trying to do it exactly as you're doing it, I'd say use PMFirewall.

Why not just use ipcahins? I have written a couple of scripts for this purpose I will post them as soon as I find them again :) also if you go to freshmeat.net and do a search for ipcahins scripts http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=ipchains+script You will find what you are looking for. There is even a very nice webmin module for ipcahins that makes setting up your own rules a snap. http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/ipchains/ Hope this helps :) again I will post my proxy scripts as soon as I find them.

Re: [expert] Proxy/router setup How-To
While the thought of buying another piece isn't too appealing to me (I have a mylar bag with about 10 NIC's in it already) it looks like I might just need to buy a switch and remove 2 NIC's.

In general, ppp problems fall into four broad areas: 1. physical installation of modem wrong serial port, it's a winmodem, setserial config needed, IRQ conflicts, pnp not set up, linmodem drivers not installed 2. misconfiguration typos in username, password, chat script; missing info; incorrect DNS config 3. authentication wrong protocol selected, incorrect implementation of PPP on the ISP's end, weird app behavior (subtle changes in ppp, kppp, etc.) 4. hardware failure it's just broken I suspect the trouble here falls into area #3, and there are plenty of posts to the Mandrake usenet group that mirror this problem. The solution is to use "debug" and minicom to gather as much ionf about the connection as possible. Typically, the solutions offered are to try one or more of the following: Add noauth, asyncmap 0xa, defaultroute, noipdefault, noccp, nobsdcomp, novj, novjcomp, noaccomp, nopcomp one at a time to the options file and see waht happens.

All I'm trying to do is allow (in this example) 3 separate office networks to be "switched" into one ethernet cable, which will connect to another MASQ box to the outside world. 1. I don't want office 1's computers to be able to see office 2's computers at all, using anything. 2. I need each computer in each office to have its own unique ID on my MASQ box so that I can track their usage. I don't want to have to do the traffic monitoring on this box that we are discussing. 3. I am running a DHCP server on this box. Yes, I can hand out different classes, but it needs to come into a single class C (yet with different IPs) going to my masq box. Clear as mud, right? Bob
[expert] Copying data to another HD
Next question: I have a Linux system I want to replicate a couple of times. There is about 350 megs worth of data on a 1 gig HD, and I want to copy the data to some 500 meg hard drives. None of the disk cloning software wants to let me do this, as my destination is smaller than my source. Since I only have 350 megs total (a little in /boot, 64 megs of /swap, and 300 megs of /), I know this should be possible. I hooked up my 500 meg drive on the unused secondary IDE port, and used the cfdisk program to set up the partitions. Somehow, I managed to mount it (probably the wrong way), and copied all data to it. When I tried booting it, LILO was messed, so I booted from Floppy. It failed in a kernel panic - can't mount root. What is the easiest way to copy the data from a linux hd to another hd, when the destination is a different size than the original? I can also see needing to do the reverse: upgrading to a larger HD on another system. Is this a painful process? Bob
[expert] makeing an iso
Hi list Heres what I have done about that iso it took a while but it works. The boot disk runs diagnostic software of a reputable class of which I'm trained and qualified to use and understand. The format of the disk is still unknown to me and to avoid being challenge by whats better and best I wont reveal the name of the software. I have made a solution but its not one hundred percent perfect.I think it is because of the size of the partion on the stiffy. 720kb 1) dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/diskimage.raw 2)save it in your windows dir and check to make sure that it is 1440kb big.However my image reads 1802kb in windows 3)download neroburning rom for windows and go to the disk propeties with the program and make a bootable cd instead of inserting the stiffy choose to use an image file and select your image. 4)please dont burn anything else to the cd because you cant read the disk under windows or linux. you can create copies of the disk with adaptecs easy cd creator that comes with most makes of cd writer. I have tried burning copoies with xcdroast and gtoaster and they both crash. thanks for all the help Kind Regards Chadley Wilson Technical Manager Wil-Sun PC Suppot cc e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [expert] pppd dying unexpectedly
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 More info on the still-unsolved ppp problem (in the hope that a light will flash on over someone's head!): 1. The messages in the /var/log/messages file are completely reproducable. 2. After trying to bring up the link, ifconfig says: ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 I don't knwo if there's a way to get more info from ifconfig, but the above _appears_ to be reasonable (from what little I know about this stuff). 3. The command line I'm using (to get rid of One More Variable -- kppp) looks like this: pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDT3034427097 CONNECT "" name: n7dr word: ' /dev/modem 115200 debug crtscts defaultroute The above is all on one line, and seems to give exactly the same result as kppp. (/dev/modem points to /dev/ttyS4, which is the correct device.) 4. Someone suggested that I try executing "ifup ppp0" as root. I couldn't find a man page on "ifup" but I tried it anyway. Got exactly the same set of error messages in the system log. 5. Someone else suggested I try ezppp. I'm going to go find that now and try to install & run it later today. Can't say I'm hopeful, but I don't have any other brilliant ideas (or even any stupid ones).

Re: [expert] pppd dying unexpectedly
Quick question about the SIGHUP:
Only root can send signals to root processes, right? So, reboot in
single-user mode, then try pppd. See if it still gets the SIGHUP.
I mean, if there are no other programs, it *should* work, right? There
are no programs ('cept the kernel!) to give it the SIGHUP, so I imagine
it probably won't get it.
I hope this is turns out to be useful!
Good luck!

[expert] Connection between lpd, named, portmap
I have a friend who runs a Linux system who for some reason, unknown to either of us, either turned the execute flag off on lpd, named, and portmap, automatically, or was broken into. Can anyone see a possible connection whether it was perhaps done by a daemon, or if an attacker had broken in, and changed the logs? I'm as baffled as he is in this, but it would be more re-assuring if someone could make a connection as to why these three would have the exec flag removed. -- Regards, Ellick Chan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[expert] Xfree 4.01 problem...
Hi, After fighting a while with Xfree 4.0 that came with Mdk7.1 (I could only get a screen full of garbage), I've managed to install Xfree 4.01 by using the binary tar balls provided by xfree86.org. However, I have a new problem: the graphical login does not function properly anymore: kdm appears (with the X background) with all options but I cannot launch KDE or any other window manager from there. I can only startx from the prompt (runlevel 3) and I only get TWM, which is far from ideal. Does anyone have any insight about how to make the graphical login functional again, as well as the other window managers, short of reinstalling 3.3.6 ? Thank you for your time!!!
