[expert] Netfilter DNAT????
I am trying to set up net filter so that. anyone on the Internet, connects to port 80 (http) on eth0 on ip 212.xxx.xxx.44. The request is transparantly forwarded out on eth1 to ip 212.xxx.xxx.43 on port 80 (a second machine) As I understand It this can be done with DNAT. Is this correct? if so, should the following work. (modules iptable and iptable_nat are loaded (among other) so. # turn on forwarding (seems to set the value ok) echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #add the prerout chain (is this necessary, it does not show up as standard) iptables -N PREROUTING # Set the default policies iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING DROP #set ping to work. iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j ACCEPT #Set the forward iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 212.219.204.43 I have tried a few combinations of the above, the chain appears and looks ok but when i try to connect it just times out. my routing is ok as I can ping the machines ok.

Then if I retry a few seconds later, it works... The ennoying thing is that it takes a while for the client to give this message (20 seconds at least) before you can retry. note: it happened with 7.1, 7.2 as well but I have never been able to pinpoint the cause of this problem I have just configured Samba at work on a RH 7.0 machine (yeah, it is sort of difficult to get Linux in a company, then when you succeed they buy RH...) and I do not get this error when I access the Linux box shown as Samba server... I have trying to find answers elsewhere, some people seem to get this pbm as well but I could not find much explanation. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Fred
RE: [expert] LM 8.0 - Pbm with USB printer Epson Stylus Photo 870
I had the same problem with LM8 and an USB printer. I ended up fixing it in a roundabout way, since I had problems with IRQ sharing (a SCSI card and sound card was sharing an IRQ with the USB port, and the sound card gave me staticly sound, and the SCSI card was giving me parity errors). I ended up moving my sound card to a different port, and building a customized kernel from the clean 2.4.4 kernel sources. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Frederic Soulier Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 5:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] LM 8.0 - Pbm with USB printer Epson Stylus Photo 870 Hi, The only time I could print using the USB port of my printer was during the installation, since then trying to use the USB port has locked my system hard more than once :( (printing from the // port works fine) I have added cups, usb and usbd to /etc/security/msec/server.4 and /etc/security/msec/server.5 My cups packages: cups-1.1.7-1.1mdk cups-common-1.1.7-1.1mdk libcups1-1.1.7-1.1mdk libcups1-devel-1.1.7-1.1mdk I had a look at: http://forum.mandrakesoft.com/article.php?sid=944mode=threadorder=0thold= 0 but if I try to use printerdrake, first if I create a new printer it does not ask on which port I want it (it should at least detect both // and USB), it seems to default to USB (that's how ep870_3 was created, see lpstat below) and when I want to test it, the machine locks up after 2/3 seconds of printing... #service usbd status (before printer switched on) usbd dead but pid file exists So I restart it... #service cups restart #service usbd status (before printer switched on, after restart) usbd (pid 11139) is running... printer being switched on /var/log/messages Jun 19 10:33:26 wallaby kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2/3, assigned device number 6 Jun 19 10:33:26 wallaby kernel: printer.c: usblp0: device node registration failed Jun 19 10:33:26 wallaby kernel: printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 6 if 0 alt 0 $lpstat -t (printer is switched on) scheduler is running system default destination: ep870_1 device for ep870_1: parallel:/dev/lp0 device for ep870_2: parallel:/dev/lp0 device for ep870_3: usb:/dev/usb/lp0 ep870_1 accepting requests ep870_2 accepting requests ep870_3 accepting requests printer ep870_1 is idle. printer ep870_2 is idle. printer ep870_3 disabled - Unable to open USB port device file: No such device ep870_3-4 root242688 Sun Jun 17 12:09:49 2001 ... printer being switched off Jun 19 10:36:13 wallaby kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 6 Jun 19 10:36:13 wallaby kernel: usb.c: deregistering driver usblp #service usbd status (after printer switched off) usbd dead but pid file exists note: I have got an external USB drive using usb-storage and a USB Web cam that work just fine, so the pbm seems to be USB printer specific.

Re: [expert] Wine without Windows...

With which applications? Thank you, Vincent A. Primavera If you mean without having a full blown windows install online you are correct. If you mean without any part of windows, that is problematic. You do not necessarily need a full windows install to run windows apps under wine but you usually will need some of the windows dll's to get most apps to work. We use wine to run a database server for some library software most of the schools in the district use. The database server (FAIRCOM) is designed to run as a NT service but will also run quite happily in the foreground under wine on a linux server but we had to have something like 8 or 10 of the windows dll's to make it work.

[expert] Installer Problems?
Is it just me or is the Mandrake installer incredibly buggy? I started with Mandrake at version 7.0. I have since upgraded through 7.1, 7.2, and am now trying 8.0. The upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 went smoothly and easily. But going from 7.1 to 7.2 was even easier: the installer bypassed any options I may have wanted and just did its own thing. Now going from 7.2 to 8.0 seems even worse. Going to 7.2 I chose expert mode and Update. The installer quickly went straight to Install system. But it did not allow me to choose which packages I wanted to upgrade. OK, I thought, it'll just figure out what packages I have and upgrade those. But instead it seems to have installed pretty much every package on the CD's. It asked me for all four CDs. When it finished it had installed stuff I had removed (like ALL of KDE), and it had removed some of what I had installed later (that were part of the Mandrake suite, like ncftp). I was pretty annoyed. There was no way to cancel, the system did not respond to mouse clicks. Now upgrading to 8.0 it looks ominously worse. My mouse does not work at all. I choose Expert and Update and am asked to Configure mouse. None of the options I choose, including the one which has always worked before, have any effect. If I choose No mouse I get the following error: unknown device none (caller is install_steps_gtk:/usr/bin/perl-install/install_steps_gtk.pm: 192). I can get no further than this step. I notice too the information box at the bottom of the screen is often wrong or out of sync, and the same goes for the list of tasks on the left of the screen. Finished tasks get a green star, in process ones get a gold, and upcoming ones get a red. Right now I am configuring a mouse, but the next task, which I have not yet got to, Choose your keyboard, already has a green star. Has anyone else seen this?By the way I have seen these same things on 3 very different systems (two desktops and one laptop), so it's not just some hardware anomaly.

[expert] apache and php
I've read some of the docs, looked through the config files, and puzzled over this for 2 whole days.I can't get Apache to treat php files as anything other than plain text. I know I'm missing something obvious, but I don't know what. I wonder if someone who has php working with apache would be willing to send me thier config files (httpd.conf, commonhttpd.conf, ?) or at least the relevant parts, so I could compare them with my own. Hal Wigoda kindly responded to my first request as follows: You have to add the php_modiule to apache and modify the apache httpd.conf file to process php files. I have done this ( I think) but still no luck. There is a test in the httpd.conf file that says: IfDefine HAVE_PHP4 LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so /IfDefine HAVE_PHP4 is obviously some kind of test, but what is it testing? According to the Apache docs, HAVE_PHP4 would have to return a true value in order for the module to load. Apparently it is not returning true, even though I have installed PHP4 from the Mandrake RPM. Does support for this module have to be defined when Apache is compiled, even though it is a DSO? (or is it a DSO?) Anyway, I am thoroughly confused, and any help would be appreciated :-) Thank You Doug Gough Computer Services Pacific Academy

While most of what I do will be in console, I'm using this to replace my windows machine as well so I need both, without rebooting... 2. Every tiem I try to access a disc in either the IDE CD-ROM drive or the SCSI CD-R/RW drive I get a kernel panic, cannot mount read/write filesystem. I can't live with that at all. Most of the data I need to replace on this machine is on CD-R discs now. Any help with these two problems would be much appreciated. The IDE CD-ROM drive is actually a Pioneer DVD-ROM 114 drive and the CD-R/RW drive is a SCSI Sony CRX140S. I am using correct SCSI termination on that drive.

[expert] xcdroast segfaults
Go to Mandrake cooker; select a server and dowload: cdrecord-1.10-1mdk.i586.rpm cdrecord-cdda2way-1.10-1.i586.rpm mandrakedesk-8.0-10mdk.i586.rpm mkisofs-1.13-7mdk.i586.rpm xcdroast-0.98-8mdk.i586.rpm Put them in a directory and type from that: rpm -Uvh *.rpm --force --nodeps And then you'll can run xcdroast as root and as user, without core dump problem. Good luck! Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)

[expert] Cannot get koffice to build
I am presently running Mandrake 8.0 with updates. I downloaded the source rpm for the latest cooker koffice. I do this periodically because, well, thus far the app has just not been really useable so I keep hoping that each NEXT version will get to a useable point. The rpm is koffice-1.1-0.beta2.3mdk.src.rpm. I try to build it but it fails with: In file included from libkwordpart_la.all_cc.cc:24: tabledia.cc:239:2: warning: #warning TODO In file included from libkwordpart_la.all_cc.cc:4: kwview.cc: In method `void KWView::setupPrinter (KPrinter )': kwview.cc:684: no matching function for call to `KPrinter::setCurrentPage (int)' In file included from libkwordpart_la.all_cc.cc:5: kwcanvas.cc: In method `void KWCanvas::print (QPainter *, KPrinter *)': kwcanvas.cc:130: no matching function for call to `KPrinter::pageList ()' make[3]: *** [libkwordpart_la.all_cc.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/koffice-1.1/kword' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/koffice-1.1/kword' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/koffice-1.1' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.77542 (%build) Now obviously it is buildable somehow or it wouldn't be available as a binary rpm in cooker. I can't simply download and install that because it is dependent on glibc-2.2.3 and I fear that upgrading that will wreck everything (anyone have any information to say it wont break stuff? Is it safe to go from glibc-2.2.2 to 2.2.3?). Has anyone managed to get this koffice to build? What does the above error actually mean? Anyone have any help to toss my way?

Re: [expert] apache and php
Hello Hmm this weird. All what I did is I installed Apache and php using the Mandrake Software Manger. Make sure you install the following packages mod_php-4.0.4pl1-6mdk php-common-4.0.4pl1-6mdk php-4.0.4pl1-6mdk I am not sure if you actually need all of them. Just fire up you software manager and search for php and install the packages. --- Doug Gough [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've read some of the docs, looked through the config files, and puzzled over this for 2 whole days.I can't get Apache to treat php files as anything other than plain text. I know I'm missing something obvious, but I don't know what. I wonder if someone who has php working with apache would be willing to send me thier config files (httpd.conf, commonhttpd.conf, ?) or at least the relevant parts, so I could compare them with my own. Hal Wigoda kindly responded to my first request as follows: You have to add the php_modiule to apache and modify the apache httpd.conf file to process php files. I have done this ( I think) but still no luck. There is a test in the httpd.conf file that says: IfDefine HAVE_PHP4 LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so /IfDefine HAVE_PHP4 is obviously some kind of test, but what is it testing? According to the Apache docs, HAVE_PHP4 would have to return a true value in order for the module to load. Apparently it is not returning true, even though I have installed PHP4 from the Mandrake RPM. Does support for this module have to be defined when Apache is compiled, even though it is a DSO? (or is it a DSO?)

I can't get any of the 2.4.x kernels to boot on my Mdk 7.2 system. Just to see if it was a problem with ReiserFS I reloaded and changed the type of FS on my drives back to ext2fs and STILL when the kernel begins to boot it will get as far as re-mounting the ROOT fs as read/write, then this happens; Checking loopback filesystem [ OK ] Mounting loopback filesystem [ OK ] Setting Profile to: _ (at this point it just sits there and the cursor blinks until I decide to hard boot the machine) I was told previously that when I was running ReiserFS that there was a incompatable difference between the 2.2.x Reiser and the 2.4.x version of ReiserFS. So what stinkin profile is this silly bugger attempting to set? I've never seen a kernel behave this way. And this was a standard developer's install out-a the box. nothing special or fancy. Standard ext2fs partitions. As I said before I've changed AND freshly formatted the drives before doing this install to make sure that there wasn't a chance for Reiser to complain or anything. The kernel config was some what plain and standard in it's config. no strange or exotic drivers needed and the compile/make modules/modules_install went off without one single error. Any ideas?

[expert] cardmanager doesn't find PCMCIA
Hi, After putting more memory on my laptop (512 MB), the card manager doesn't want to to load my PCMCIA card anymore. Apparently, it complains that there is no pcmcia entry in the /proc/devices file (which is true indeed). I think that it is due to the upgrade, but I wouldn't put my hand into fire here. I think that I made some time ago an unwanted ifconfig eth0 up, but I wouldn't see why this is causing the problem. Before trying to put the old soDIMMS back to see if this is indeed the memory upgrade, I would like to see if somebody knows a solution. Can folks help me? Thanks, Marc
