Re: [expert] Multiple network cards in a Mandrake firewall/switch combination
Hi... This is probably all my fault for confusing the issue, so I guess that I will have to try and help clean it up :-) If you are using something resembling my silly little setup, BOTH nics need to be set up with 255.255.255.128 netmasks. If you are using something more like what the wise civileme wrote, is to use a completely different network for the 10baseT hosts. Something in the 172.16.*.* range (as he suggested) or the 10.*.*.* would be appropriate (I believe these are the IP ranges, along with 192.168.*.*, researved for private networks) Hope this helps, sorry for making muddying the waters.

HI, If you want the same answer to all questions for a particular command, there is an amazing little utility by the name of yes By default it echos an endless stream of y characters. If you pass it anything as an argument, then that is what is echoed endlessly instead. You can almost certainly find it in /usr/bin/yes. Just pipe the output to the command that you want the responses for. As has already been pointed out, if the answer varies for any given command, you should probably use expect.

Re: [expert] GCC 3.0 - Question on GPL
Hi! I thought I should chime in on this one, even though JoeLX seems to be happy. As I understand it, ALL of GCC3.0 is published under the GPL, which is viral. The GNU Lesser General Public License is one usually used for libraries, which is far less viral. However, GCC3.0 has a special exception for the GCC library. I haven't looked at what this is precisely, but I know that its intention is to allow the production of proprietary software with the compiler system. I cannot tell you what the distribution requirements for that library are, as I have not yet read the exception in the license. BTW M$, AFIK, does not use GPLed code in any of its operations. It uses BSD licensed code, which, by not having the contagious elements of the GPL, lets this sort of thing go on. I hope that this has cleared a couple of things up. But the short answer is AFIK you can distribute code made with GCC3.0 under any license that you feel like; although, if the libraries are under the LGPL as has been suggested (I can't find any reference to this, just an exception) then there are a few minor restrictions that you must be aware of.

Re: [expert] Poor OpenGL performance in LM 8.0
Don't know what causing tuxracer to not report FPS correctly, but I think know what the problem with the Radeon is. The XF86 version that comes with LM8 does not support DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure) on the radeon. You will have to obtain a new version of XF86 either from the DRI project (dri.sourceforge.net) or I believe that XF86-4.1.0 includes radeon DRI support. One gotcha is that you need agp support enabled in the kernel (either through compile in, or module load) before the radeon driver is loaded by XF86, or it won't work. Otherwise the installation instructions on the DRI homepage worked fine for me. Hope this helps.

What confuses me is that I set the FPS display on in Tuxracer and it showed between 50 and 90 FPS. What I see is only about 1 or 2 FPS. When I run Tuxkart, the load up info tells me that Utah GLX is running in indirect mode. Is this the problem? My Hardware is: Radeon 32MB DDR Duron 750 w/ Via Chipset I'm running XFree86 4.0.3 with 'Experimental 3D support.' Is there a simple fix for this? If not, can anyone point out a FAQ.

Re: [expert] Terminal screen unusable
Don't really know what could cause it, I do know a workaround for a similar problem that I hat under MD7.2 If you log in blind to the virtual terminal and reset is (by typing reset) it may fix the problem.

Re: [expert] samba/cups
This is an interesting little problem, one that I have come across here at home. Firstly, if there are cups drivers for the printer model, it really shouldn't be a problem, just share the printer, find out its name, and point cups at it. This assumes that samba is set up alright, which it seems to be out of the box on LM8.0. Now the fun part comes if you do not have such a driver. You need to get Aladin Ghostscript for Windows and a little utility by the name of Redmon. I can't remember exactly how this is set up, but basically you share a generic postscript printer (Apple Color Laserwriter works well) and redirect the input via Ghostscript to the windows drivers using Redmon. If this last thing is what you need, I can find out more details for you.

Re: [expert] routing problem
You have it set so that 131.103.1.10 and 10.10.90.99 are gateways. This probably isn't what you want, as it means that these hosts are assumed to be responsible for all traffic bound for their respective networks. If you remove the gw x.x.x.x parts from the respective routing tables, it will probably work. The other thing is that you may need to turn on proxy arp if you want the computer to act as a bridge between these networks. This can be done with echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp I think that this is only nessessary if you need the box to be transparent (like a switch) and probably only if the machines on either side don't know that they are on different networks.

[expert] Routing / NAT problem
I've got a problem which must be solved by tomorrow. I need to be able to take all packets bound for a particular local subnet (eg 192.168.100.0/24) and instead send them off (probably using GRE encapsulation) to an internet address (eg 123.456.78.90) instead. I cannot set up a VPN at the moment, it will be done in the near future. If anyone has a good clue on this one, please tell me. Nathan Callahan
Re: [expert] Routing / NAT problem
Thanks for the input. On Monday, June 4, 2001, at 10:26 PM, Randy Kramer wrote: This is probably a bad clue, but I thought I'd throw it out and see if it might be workable: How about adding a line to your routing table to set up the internet address (123.456.78.90) as a gateway to subnet 192.168.100.0/24? Tried that, didn't work. Unfortunately the pack is not translated for the new network and gets thrown out onto the net as a packet bound for 192.168.100.?... Not good. I have actually got the answer now, I think. What I need to do is masquerade the packet, then port forward it to the port that it came in on, on the target host. ipchains can't do this, but someone put me onto ipmasqadm, which looks like it can. iptables can do it too, but the gateway in question is running a 2.2 kernel. Thanks people. If anyone notices a glaring flaw in my logic, feel free to put it out. I can't tell you more about how to do it -- is there a command like addroute or routeadd, or can you do this in netconf? And, I don't know if it will work, And, if it does work to get the packets there, I'm not sure that the internet machines will do something useful with them or just attempt to send them back to you (or /dev/null).

Re: [expert] IP Masquerading Problems
You might want to try: echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Also I noticed that the routing for eth0 is in the routing table twice, this seems a bit weird. If the above command doesn't fix it, try taking down the card (ifdown eth0) and bring it back up (ifup eth0) to see if this clears up those routes. Or you could use the route command, but I know that I try to avoid it :-) Nathan Callahan On Friday, June 1, 2001, at 01:47 PM, Abiel Reinhart wrote: After reformatting my system and upgrading to Linux Mandrake 8.0 from 7.2, I am unable to get IP masquerading to function.
