[expert] Iptables usage
Following the content of the very good article in GNU/Linux magazine France
in Linux Journal I configured the netfilter with the script here below
end up being able to ping any host (inside or outside my private network). I
cannot however do any TCP connexions what so ever I did a MDK 8.1
simple install (security set to high) worked out that
/etc/rc.d/S03iptables is invoked @ boot to parametrize netfilter. The file
initalizes a default tables with the iptables-restore command.
With that the traffic doe not go out of my local network
I made a script base on LJ 09/2001 : Taming the wild Netfilter... but then I
can only ping the outside from the machine itself or from the I cannot
worl out why it does when I alter some
lines why it stops when altering others.
Could someone explain what i shoud modify to let TCP / UDP traffic reach
out?
Config is like that :
eth0 (dhcpd) eth1

192.168.1.xxx

Re: [expert] konqueror startup problems still... some kinda solution :@
Thats pretty much what i do as well, I also save the contents of kdisplay folder (in .kde/share/apps I think) which holds any saved colour schemes u have and kdeglobals which is basically the dektop visual stuff - sad but I've got mine just right :) . The weird thing I'm getting is that this prob seems to be slowly becoming more and more cross user/ system wide I think. Dont ask me how. I've got it pretty much back to normal - went in in console and wiped /tmp/* as root, killed all .mcop and dcop, wiped ~/.kde (after many relevant saves - kmail contents worth saving, or kiss your old mail good bye). It seemed to be behaving itself, but i put a new user on to use blackbox for watching movies as i have a suspicion that the use of blackbox may have put something 'out of sync'. Problem was the mandrake first start wizard turned up (WHY??? its not that helpful really - and about the only thing that gets up my nose about mdk, geting a bit m$ - u will sort out your internet connection now etc. - any ideas how to stop that one anybody?) And just would not let go, crashed the user on the second click whereever it was?? weird Then my partners user started to have trouble with konqueror :( Upshot is I have a system that feels like its going to go t*ts up at any moment, which i hate. On the plus side I want to muck about with the partitions on my system anyway. I just wanted to do it when I put Mdk 8.2 on. Effectively I've spent a good few days trying to discover the root cause of this and after much trawling through news gruops Ican say, it happens to alot of people, a lot of people seem to think that its something to do with kded, DCOP and kdeinit, though none knows exactly what yet or have a specific fix. The best fix at the moment is to do what u suggest. Guess i was just dead unlucky with the Mandrake wizard is all . Never mind. Before anyone thinks I'm just whingeing, I still think mdk8.1 is the best OS out there if u want to get on with stuf and spend as little time as poss configuring stuff, its just a pain that I couldnt figure out or find out a better fix than start kde from scratch, as that realy is a pain - hopefully mdk8.2 will be really realy stable and have supermount back with a kernel without alot of memory issues, that really would be superb. OK my 2 pence worth over with, thanks to all who tried to help, if I get a clearer picture as to what makes this happen I'll post it, and a better solution hopefully :) si -Original Message- From: Praedor Tempus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 07:41:20 -0800 (PST) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] konqueror startup problems still... ...

[expert] Corrupt Filesystem
Hi All, I've got a bit of a problem. Recently, I compiled a new kernel and booted it alongside my current one, 2.4.17-1mdk - after booting with the new kernel, /dev/hda1 (a FAT32 partition on my primary hard disk), didn't mount. I figured that I hadn't compiled VFAT support into the kernel, thought nothing of it, and went to boot the old kernel so that I could recompile the new kernel with the necessary filesystem support. However, I was faced with the same issue. So, I tried to boot Windows XP, which resides on that partition, with no avail. LILO just refreshes the display. After poking around the logs, I turned up the following: dmesg: MSDOS FS: IO charset iso8859-1 MSDOS FS: Using codepage 850 FAT: bogus logical sector size 5376 VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 03:01. FAT: freeing iocharset=iso8859-1 boot.log: Feb 19 21:39:01 gumby mount: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, Feb 19 21:39:01 gumby mount:or too many mounted file systems I don't believe this has been caused by the new kernel, as I have compiled and run countless kernels without such trouble. I do, however, have a feeling that the filesystem may have been corrupted when the machine was earlier rebooted unintentionally. My question is this: Is there any possible way to fix the corrupted partition/filesystem, as it has some crucical data on it, that I *really* don't want to lose.

OR since you said FAT32, maybe you can boot of a win 98 se floppy with windblows fdisk on it and try 'fdisk /mbr' it is possible that only your mbr is corrupt. you will lose lilo though, but this is easily recovered IF you make a linux bootdisk first or simply upgrade your linux with the same distro that you have. keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best, mario -- The software said 'runs on Win95 or better,' so I installed it on Linux Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] databases for linux
To expand some... MySQL is a wicked fast db with some limitations. I am using it right now for a project and I'm really wishing it supported views, for example. To the good, it is really, really fast, light and stable. Postgre has many more features and is supposed to be a lot faster than it used to be with the most recent version. I have seen benchmarks that support this, and some that refute it. But in any case, it does have a lot better feature set than MySQL - particularly for handling dates. It also supports views and subqueries. PG has a really slick GUI too: PG access. You really can't go wrong with either one, but there are advantages/disadvantages to each depending on the project you are planning. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of wim Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 9:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] databases for linux PostgreSQL and MySQL are databases for Linux. -- Kind regards, Wim De Hul Belgacom Belbone Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile : +32 479 952004 Ripe : WDH25-RIPE Registered Linux User: #260015 Harold Hartley wrote: I was wondering how many database software is there available for linux and what the names of them may be..

Re: [expert] Win2k Portuguese and Samba
Sounds like a permissions issue more than a language issue. I'll assume that you went through all the basic connectivity troubleshooting steps as well. ie - yes the machines can talk to each other over tcp/ip, yes the LMHOSTS/WINS/DNS naming system works, yes this machine is on the same subnet and workgroup, yes the client and host machine have valid identical user accounts set up, etc. If not, start there. If you have done that already, what else is in the error logs? I have my samba set up to log each individual client that connects, that will help to track down any errors you are receiving. Like so: log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m The other tool I've used to track down samba issues is ethereal to snoop packets sent back and forth. Apart from some random unimplemented stuff win2k and samba have been getting along fairly well for me. Anyway, if you haven't sorted it out already, why don't you forward your smb.conf file and any other errors you're getting from this machine when you try and connect it.

RE: [expert] LILO Problem - Loading Linux EBDA too big
Yep. I updated the kernel through the Mandrake wizard and it burped until the machine was booted. Anyway, thanks for the clues Braian and BillK! It is up and running again! By the way when I run the boot CD and going to the process of the expert mode choosing the update I got the error fsck failed with exit code 4 or signal 0 when it reaches the security check. I tried to run a series of switches in the LILO in rescue mode to rebuild the device and I didn't work telling me Fatal:open /boot/vmlinuz: no such file or directory. I looked into the /boot and I had to rebuild the symbolic link pointing to the right file for the vmlinuz file and that was it. It worked charmy.

[expert] Wireless networking with Linux
Greetings all, I have been looking at adding 802.11b wireless networking to my home network and was wondering was products out their have been found to work best with Linux? I have looked into the D-Link series and there are Linux drivers available for the PCMCIA cards (I looked at the DWL650 card). The access point I looked at (D-Link DWL1000AP) did not list Linux on the box, but from what I could find, that was just for D-Link's software to configure the box, and I have a Win2k machine that I could do this from. One odd thing I noticed, is that the D-Link access point supported up to 128-bit WEP, but the PCMCIA card only supported 40-bit WEP.

Re: [expert] File server
Has anyone done this or does anyone have any tips on getting started? I'm sure many people on this list have either done this, or done something similar. For the file server, you'd use samba (if you are sharing to a workstation / laptop in windows mode) or nfs (if you are sharing to a unix box). Would I need any hardware besides a hub and Ethernet cards? Other than the 3rd machine, a hub, ethernet cards, and of course cat5 cable, no. Could I use Samba to see the served files from Windows? Yes, samba was / is being developed to share linux directories with windows machines. Take a look at http://www.samba.org . Do I have to use NFS on the server? Not unless you are sharing the directories on the server to another linux box. If you are, it is best to do so via nfs, although it can also be done via samba, provided that the linux box (the client, not the server) has the samba-client rpm installed. Any recommended backup strategies? This largely depends on what type of hardware the server is going to have. Several options for 'onsite' backup include tape backups, lan backups, cd backups, hard drive backups, and so forth. You could also send it offsite. Could I find information about this subject in any system administration book? Take a look at linuxdoc.org before you buy any books.

Could I find information about this subject in any system administration book? The LAN option is the best. One other possibility: Save all your files to the Windows partition on the regular computer and use Windows sharing to make them accessible to the laptop. The Linux OS on the desktop will be able to access the Windows partition without too much difficulty. Linux on the laptop can access the share via smbclient. As for the LAN setup, I'm doing a similar thing on my home network. I created server using an old Pentium 233/MMX with a 10Gig IDE. The /home/public directory is shared via NFS, Samba and Netatalk for Linux, Windows and Macintosh clients respectively. Things that will be useful: 1) Create a local group and enroll all NFS users in this group. Give the /home/public (or wherever) write access to this directory. Map the Samba user to an ID that's enrolled in this group. 2) Make sure that the user IDs are identical on both Linux machines. For backups I use DLT drive with a 5 tape rotation. Your needs may be different though. If you have a CD burner on the server you can use xcdroast to dump the shared directory to CD (I do this occasionally). Depending on what sort of files you're saving you might even consider using CVS. That is, if you work with a lot of text files and source code, CVS will allow you to track versions and merge differences between versions. It works wonderfully for the TeX documents I produce. If you have a lot of MP3s, you might consider installing a streaming server. This allows you to play songs from withing WinAmp, XMMS, or the QuickTime player directly over the network using a single protocol.

[expert] fdisk help
I've got a laptop with a 40Gb drive on which a Windows and Mandrake 8.1 install reside. The Windows FS's got 6.8Gb, linux's got more than 12Gb allocated. Here's my partition table: --- # fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 892 7164958+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 893 909136552+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 910 926136552+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 927 2488 125467655 Extended /dev/hda5 927 959265041 83 Linux /dev/hda6 960 1214 2048256 83 Linux /dev/hda7 1215 2488 10233373+ 83 Linux --- I'd like to create another FS, but when I run fdisk and try to create a new partition, it tells me that I've got no sectors available. I threw the install disk in and it sees the space and I can play with it there, but why can't I in fdisk? I've never had any problem with fdisk before, so this is kind of tripping me out. From the above partition table, you can see that the last cylinder used is 2488. And according to what it says when going through the install method, I've got 2489 - 4863 available (another 18Gb).

Re: [expert] File server
Well, you could just use your regular computer as a file server while in both windows and linux. In windows, set up file sharing using user names and passwords and do the same thing in linux via sharing with samba. Keep your documents on a FAT32 drive under windows. When using linux, mount your windows drive under your /home/user/windows directory so you can access it from there. Then set up samba to use your same login name and password to samba mount from you laptop linux and network neighborhood mount from your laptop windows. You don't have to use NFS. Samba will be able to share and get your data using SMB. Use either tar, arkiea or a cd-r(w) backup from linux or a windows software package to backup your personal data. A hub and ethernet cards are all you would need. You would be best served with any System Admin HOWTO or book, a book on linux networking for dummies (don't take offense, it's just a title) or something to that affect and/or a HOWTO or book on SAMBA.

Re: [expert] File server
Kathy, Having seen about 10 replies to this, I thought you needed at least one more! ;-) There has been good coverage of the options in some of the other replies, so I'll just attempt to clarify what seemed to be a little confusing, or actually contradictory. 1. Yes, a 3rd machine would work well for this, but of course you can accomplish it with the two machines you already have. The desktop machine could become the server without limiting its use as a workstation. Then you don't even need a hub, just a crossover cable between the two machines. 2. How come no internet connection? You are obviously using one to talk to us. I guess this is a dialup from your laptop. As long as you are setting up a fileserver, why not make it a gateway, sharing an internet connection and acting as a firewall? 3. Some of the replies about Samba v NFS certainly confused me. Here's my take on it from experience of setting up my own identical LAN (well there are 4 machines, but otherwise identical). NFS makes it really simple to share with Linux clients. Samba makes is really simple to share with Windows clients. I just setup the directories I want to share as both NFS and Samba shares, so the win clients see them as win shares and the linux clients see them as NFS. Easy! 4. For me, it helps keep things easy and organized to limit shares to one direction. What I mean by this is that I access the server from the clients, but never share any directories on the clients. This also helps with backups. If all the important stuff is in one place, there's only one machine that needs data backed up (although you should probably also backup at least the /etc directory on all Linux machines). If you have enough disk space on your laptop, one reasonable strategy would be to backup to the server, then copy the backup to the laptop. That gives you some redundancy should either machine go up in flames. Anyway, have fun. Certainly no gurudom is required to set this up and it can greatly enhance the usablility and security of your systems. cheers Brian On Wed, 2002-02-20 at 08:33, Kathy Montgomery wrote: I have a Windows 98/Mandrake regular computer and a Win 98/Mandrake laptop.

OK - fair point! I've found that one way to learn fast is to assert that you know how to do something on this list and see how many ways you can be shot down ;-) I guess I felt that setting up the NFS shares was so easy (and there are only a couple of them) that it was less effort than learning how to use Samba shares from Linux Anyway, your point is well taken and I will have a look at moving to a Samba-only setup. thanks and regards Brian On Wed, 2002-02-20 at 11:26, Michael Leone wrote: On Tue, 2002-02-19 at 18:43, Brian Parish wrote: 3.

[expert] Mail question
Hello all, I am having a bit of mail problem but don't know where to start. I want to set up a mail server which supports pop, imap and webmail, and I also need to collect mail from other mail server. Here comes the detail. I have 3 machines here, 1 running Win2k, 2 running mdk 8.1. One of the mdk machine is a dedicated server, the other 2 are my workstations. The server will have a sub domain with dns2go.com so I can host my own mail server. The reason for using imap is simply that I don't have to download all my mail to all my workstations. To make the problem even harder, I also have email accounts with my ISP and Yahoo. I am hoping that it can be setup so the mail server would fetch my mail from other mail server and put them in the same place with other mail received by my own mail server. To sum it up, in case you were confused by the last section, I hope to setup a mail server, which will host mail for local domain and fetch mail from other pop3 server and put everything in one place so I can access all mail from any other workstation using IMAP. Webmail is for accessing mail from outside network. I did some search, seems horde could solve some of the problem. I am also hoping there is some way that I can have an address book on the server so I don't have to reneter all of them to each machine that I use.
