Re: [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 No need for 3 out, that's what a hub or switch is used for. A better suggestion would be to have 1 in / 1 out. Your ISP connection is going to the 'in', and your 'out' (LAN) goes to the hub/switch, and then all your other PCs would connect to the hub/switch instead of your proxy computer. With this scenario, you could use PMFirewall suggested by others, which uses ipchains to setup the proxying. Thanks... Dan.

RE: [expert] ipchains logging
Hi David, Resending without the stupid HTML attachments, shame on me! Out of curiosity, what command are you using to restart klogd? I think I have the same problem with one of my boxes. /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart kill -HUP does not do the trick. It has been my experience that 'kill -HUP syslogd' actually CAUSES klogd to stop working in both stock 7.0 and 7.1. By default klogd sends it's output to the syslog and it doen't seem to like syslogd being restarted, only stopping and starting klogd will get it going again (klogd halts on a SIGHUP). Issuing '/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart' fixes the problem because it stops and starts syslogd and klogd in turn. So, it is a possibility that your problem arises from 'killall -HUP syslogd' getting called via cron scripts or elsewhere. The syslog logrotate file is one culprit. If you make no alteration to the default cron/logrotate scripts, then kernel logging will work ok from boot until the first weekend and then stop working until klogd is restarted. Getting klogd to log direct to a file might be worth trying too, (klogd -f file). At last an explanation! Thanks for this, I'll adjust my cron jobs accordingly. Regards, Tony

I've checked /boot and it has the file us.klt. I've checked against a box I have that does allow install and I can't find a difference anywhere.

Do a net search on "Trinity OS" and "David Ranch", and do what the man says. There's a lot of reading material on his site. I was looking at the Trinity OS firewall script, and he is still using ipfwadm for port forwarding. I did see some IPchains stuff for forwarding telnet ports, etc, so I'll do some more digging. I'm really wondering if there is a IPFWADM that I can still use with my 2.2.15-4mdk kernel. I have one on my Mandrake 6.1 box, which I believe is using 2.2.14. On a somewhat related topic, consider this scenerio: I want a linux box to function sort of like a switch, passing through internet traffic, but isolating each network device from another. Example: eth0 = connection to a Masqing box (192.168.1.x network) eth1 = office 1 (192.168.1.41-50) eth2 = office 2 (192.168.1.51-60) eth3 = office 3 (192.168.1.61-70) In this box, I want no masquerading to take place.. I want a machine connected to eth1 with an IP of 192.168.1.42 routed right out eth0 as the same IP. Basically just like I had a dumb hub. The reason for the need for some intelligience here is that I don't want Win95 machines in office 1 seeing machines in office 2 using their netbios / whatever protocol. The reverse obviously has to work: if a packet comes into eth0 for 192.168.1.65, it should go right out eth3 with that same IP. This means that eth0 will be responding to several IP numbers, not just its own. If it makes it any easier, I can change eth0's network numbers to be on another network (like 10.0.0.x), but I still need the 1:1 mapping. How/where in IPCHAINS??? This may not be an IPCHAINS issue at all. Try putting each of your divisions onto separate class C "experimental" networks: 192.168.1.0, 192.168.2.0, etc., with appropriate netmasks. If I recall correctly, NetBIOS does name searches with broadcasts, which do not cross network boundaries. Make sure that none of the W9x machones have any LMHOSTS entries that point to another network. You haven't mentioned NT, so I gather you don't have a SMB domain server. If you are using SAMBA on the Linux box as a SMB domain name server, you may have to tune how it lets machines on one net see machines on another net. I don't know anything about using Samba for domain resolution, so you are on your own here. -- -- C^2 I'm confused. I'm not running any samba, or any other kind of server. 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] Weird LPR problem.
Installed Mandrake 7.1 a few days ago, and when I went to
print out a business letter, printing failed, but in the
oddest manner.
The file in question is in my /home/rfg/text directory. It
is called (example), testfile1.txt. I do the following:
prompt $ cat testfile1.txt | lpr
It prints just fine.
A similar file, testfile2.txt will fail to print. I get
the following message printed at the extreme top of the paper
that comes out of the Epson 800N printer:
No way to print this type of input file: fsave (linux)
virus (2570-11-10)
The very last characters, 1-10) actually show up on a second
line.
The only difference between the two files is that testfile2.txt
has a series of carriage returns to start with. I did that so
my text will start below the printed letterhead on my business
letter.
The problem is reproducible; ie, any file, or filename, with
6, 7 or more cr at the top of the file will fail to print in
that manner. I also tried to start the file with a single
unobtrusive period at the top, followed by 13 cr's, and
it still failed to print.
This seems to be a bug in LPR, or the input filter for my
printer. Here is a copy of my /etc/printcap file:
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE uniprint NAxNA letter {} U_EpsonStylusColor
stcany {}
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=epson.nook.net:\
:rp=:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
**orange[/etc]#
Of course, the cat command (without piping to the printer) shows
up correctly on the screen. I am also able to print pages, email,
etc from Netscape and other applications. Only the piping to lpr
of a text file fails. I never had this problem with RedHat 5.2 or
Mandrake 5.x or 6.x. I have not seen any updates for lpr.
I also took a look at the files with a hex editor, and they seem
perfectly normal. Not for one minute do I believe this is a
linux virus; it seems to me that someone coded this into lpr or
the input filter as a joke. Nevertheless.

It seems to work like any masq module, add it in the firewall script or load from console. #modprobe ip_masq_portfw #lsmod then shows Module Size Used by ip_masq_portfw 2628 0 (unused) I haven't tried using it so I don't know if that's all you need.

Re: [expert] Duping HDs in Linux
I want to basically take hda and copy it to hdc. I found out the hard way that copying /* also takes /proc, which isn't very fun... If the drives are exactly the same size, you would use 'dd' to read the raw hda filesystem and copy it to hdc. If not, you can use copy -ax to copy the path. The -a does the same thing as -dpR (copy symbolic links instead of the file they point to, preserve file attributes, Recurse), and -x tells it not to cross other mounted filesystems. So if, say, /usr is a separate partition from /, a 'cp -ax / /mnt/newdrive' would copy everything but /proc and /usr (and /mnt/newdrive :).
