[expert] Internal Server and Firewall Conf

[nds]

I am trying to setup a network with the following configurations:

pentium mmx 32mb floppy no harddrive linux router using coyotelinux3.1 
(modified lrp (linux router project)) -Router/Server
  |  w-(12.10.34.68) l-(192.168.1.1)
  |
 ---
 |  |
 |  |
amd k6-II mail and http server pentium 4 development workstation
static ip (192.168.1.10)   dhcp (192.168.1.100)


I can not see my server on 192.168.1.10. I honestly don't even know 
where to begin to  configure a mail server to draw email from six email 
accounts and send them to one user let alone two other external email 
accounts to another internal user! Any advice would be appreciated. I 
primarily would like to get my webserver configured and then all the 
rest is secondary.

Couldn't you save the configurationg of a happy Mandrake kernel that you 
customized and load that into the configuration of a source tarball 
kernel? Wouldn't that still provide a happy medium? You can also do a 
"diff" between the configuration file of a happy mandrake kernel and the 
configuration file of a source kernel file? Just a thought. HTH

When you rebuilt your kernel to the 2.4.17 from source, did you read in 
the source tree "Documentation/Changes", first? These tell you the 
minimum install of packages that are necessary for your kernel to 
function properly. Like binutils, reiserfsprogs, iptables, iproute2, and 
etc. This helped me alot. Hopefully, it will do the same for you.

Did you upgrade your kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk to 
kernel-source-2.4.17-8mdk? I had the same problem until I forgot to 
upgrade my kernel source as well! That is all more likely that you are

I did this to find out for you:

whereis librpm.so.0

result:

/usr/lib/librpm.so

I next do:

rpm -qf /usr/lib/librpm.so

On my Cooker system I get:

rpm-devel-4.0.3-0.34mdk

Next file I do:

whereis libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

I get:

libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3:

So I next try:

locate libstdc++

I get a list of files and one that closely matches yous:

/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

So I finally do:

rpm -qf /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

And get on my Cooker machine:

libstdc++-2.10-2.96-0.69mdk

I listed your answer this way to let you know that there are more than 
one way to troubleshoot and find your answer. Some files can not be 
found by rpm without listing their complete path name as well. HTH

Does Chromium work for you also? If it doesn't chances are you are 
missing a config file for openal in your home directory. Try this fix 
and let me know if it works:

create file .openalrc and be sure to not forget the "."!

touch .openalrc

edit the file and input this one line:


vi .openalrc

(define native-use-select #f)

and be sure to not forget the parenthesis! HTH

It could have been that they had incorrectly put in one digit or more 
incorrectly. Like when I first started to SSH my home network. I would 
do that and so would the other guy that I was contacting mistakernly. We 
got past that and now him and I no longer SSH each other by mistake. We 
both have the same service thus why our IP addresses were so equivalent.
If it repeats then make attempts to contact them like I did. HTH

yeah, I figured something as such. The message was too terse and none

Do you have rdate or ntp set and running on your system? Both at the 
same time? If either one, remove and then reinstall those programs and 
run them again. If both, choose. If neither, try one and force that 
program to sync your computer. That should fix your problem.IHTH

It could be the kernel. Try to install LM 8.1 with 2.2.19 instead of 
2.4.8. Maybe that will help and fix your installation blues. HTH

Well, in defense of myself I did say replace "ide-scsi" with the 
appropriate driver which in his case would be sg or something to that 
effect, even though in the "CD-Writer Howto" it says that all SCSI 
drivers should work. Speaking of which... you are guilty of the same 
criime, brother, that others made on this list. How are you going to 
point out the problem without providing the solution?  That is just 
wasting space and time. Chances are people are hurriedly reading and 
answering the list, while hoping that the person receiving help from 
them has enough IQ to "substitute" the driver we specified with one that 
he was given... correction, had given us in the list. You forgot to 
mention the device, also while we are pointing out things. What if his 
cdrw is not "/dev/hdc"? I guess he would just be "stuck" waiting to send 
another email message asking if it would be a good idea to put the 
device, that he knows that he has in place of the one we mentioned to 
him? And finally.. the last I checked this was a voluntary list for 
experts. I don't mean to seem upset but I am ... a little. I am mostly 
on this list providing support. I rarely ask for helop because not much 
change at my end that I don't conquer on my own or with the help of 
people on this list. I more then anything spend my time providing 
solutions, hunting down answers, and all around just supporting where 
ever I can and then you come and provide this type of feedback? With no 
correctoins or solutions whatsoever? Sometimes one should look at 
himself before he starts fires (Especially, when he is wearing gasoline 
drawers in a pool of alchohol stepping out of a kerosene shower with 
short matches wearing a C4 vest with a very very short (emphasis on 
short) wick. There I have said my peace and nuked this letter. Take this 
as constructive criticism and be mindful of others efforts and feelings 
in the future. . o O (I can't believe I took this personal!? Must be the 
hundreds of emails I go through everyday trying to help for free or 
something?)cheers and I apologize.

The solution is simple.. o O (I think) You have your hardware set to the 
GMT timezone, as that is the exact number of timezones from the GMT or 
in otherwords, the Universal Time Coordinated to Pacific 
Daylight-savings Time (PDT). Change that and you should be all good. 
Just use MCC (Mandrake Control Center). HTH

Hindsight:

reverse the numbers of your ip for what you are trying to do or 
substitute them for values/variables like "localip", "remoteip", 
"localnet", and so on.

To your question:

What are you trying to do as I haven't been watching any threads 
concerning firewalls. Even though I have questions of my own concerning 
that subject. Are you saying that you are trying to setup firewall to 
tunnel through port 93 through your eth1 interface? My knowledge of 
iptables is limited compared to my knowledge of ipchains. I have to work 
with both, really. My firewall/router uses ipchains and each of my 
computers on my network individually are configured with iptables. The 
solution to your answer will be an additiion to my firewalls. As far as 
you being hacked, you don't have prelude, tripwire, or any other 
intrusion detection programs? If not, that sucks and we live and we learn .

Type "/sbin/lsmod" and let me know what you get. If you do not see 
ide-scsi or any other type of scsi module then we have found your 
problem. Just simply add to lilo "hdc=ide-scsi" or what ever is the 
device for your cdrw and the appropriate scsi module and then all should

LoL You would not believe this but the "fix" to Xine was missed by my 
own ignorance! It was mentioned in the docs and I zipped right pass it 
everytime! Now I have Xine and Ogle working fine on my computer. The 
problem with getting these programs to work with LM 8.1 and LM 8.2 
cooker is that if you have a CDRW/DVD Combo drive, you don't get any raw 
devices for your drive generated. Only the CD writer script gets 
executed completely. I had to create "/dev/dvd, /dev/rawctl, /dev/raw1, 
/dev/raw2 (not needed but just in case;-)), and /dev/rdvd".

/dev/dvd is made the same way that my /dev/scd0 is made. My /dev/scd0 is 
a link to rawdevice scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd (My cdwriter). ie a 
"ls -l" will produce on my computer:

/dev/dvd -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
/dev/scd0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd

Next I had to make a raw device. In the DVD-Howto you have a choice 
between that in creating a stin/stout files. I felt using the device was 
best for performance reasons which I think is true in my case. You will 
need to have fileutils-4.1-5mdk (It has mknod which we will need) and 
util-linux-2.11m-4mdk (that has raw, the other program we will need).

/bin/mknod /dev/rawctl c 162 0
/bin/mknod /dev/raw1 c 162 1
/bin/mknod /dev/raw2 c 162 2
/bin/mknod /dev/raw3 c 162 3
/bin/mknod /dev/raw4 c 162 4

/usr/bin/raw /dev/raw1 /dev/dvd

ln -s /dev/raw1 /dev/rdvd

Then run and exectute xine or ogle. For xine use:

xine -pq dvdnav://

and for ogle

ogle -u cli /dev/dvd

or just plain

ogle

if you want a graphical version to run. I hope this helps and this is my 
success story.

Where did you hear that?! Not true unless I'm poorly mistaken but I only 
had to have access to an "account" from the computer I'm trying to 
access. Is that what you mean? You are trying to access a computer 
without an "account"? RSVP

I don't know much about that book but I have been building my own RPMs 
for over a year now and I still don't know everything that goes into it. 
What I did to learn in the beginning was look into the "spec" file of 
successful custom RPMs (they usually were "mdk" packages). I would 
compare the spec file from a regular (non-mdk) RPM and a "mdk" RPM. I 
noticed that besides occasional directory changes, Mandrake uses "bzip" 
tarballs and not "tar.gz" or "tgz" tarballs. Another change is that 
Mandrake prefers to "patch" up the current version tarball. As far as 
your quesion regarding having "%files lists _all_ your files, you are 
reading too much into this. You know how when you uncompress tarballs 
and they open up with their own directory with files in each directory? 
Well that is basically what you are doing, you list these newley created 
directories for where all the files will be located. I will give you an 
example:
(We will make a package for a file called "IPTalk". We are going to skip 
down to the %file portion of the package)

%files
%defattr (-,root,root)
%/usr/bin/iptalk
%attr (755,root,root) %/usr/lib/iptalk/*
%doc doc/CREDITS NEWS COPYING AUTHORS doc/FAQ README ChangeLog
%/usr/share/*/*/*
%/usr/share/pixmaps/iptalk.xpm
%/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/iptalk.desktop

%files applet
%defattr (-,root,root)
%/usr/bin/iptalk
%attr (755,root,root) %/usr/bin/iptalk_applet
%doc doc/CREDITS NEWS COPYING AUTHORS doc/FAQ README ChangeLog
%/usr/lib/iptalk/*
%/usr/share/locale/*/*/*
%/usr/share/pixmaps/iptalk.xpm
%/usr/share/pixmaps/iptalk/*
%/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/iptalk.desktop
%/etc/iptalk/*

That is all I had to list for my iptalk (fictional program using gnome gtk).

Generic kernel compile for "i486/i586/i686". Specify for Pentium II or 
Pentium 4 and then you you will have a program that will more then 
likely be processor specific, especially if you use your program for 
multimedia applications.

That not helping part has been very prevalent lately. I guess everyone 
has been busy trying to enjoy the holidays with their families. I have 
posted many questions that I have not received a singel answer to yet! 
Two of them I had figured out, evenutually for myself and posted the 
solutions. As long as we post solutions then I am content wether I solve 
it on my own or someone else helps out. Just as long as we help one 
another. It is amazing what can be solved in a little amount of time 
with just one question being answered. I apologize for not posting 
earlier to this message not that I am knowledgeable or anything with zsh 
but I am resourceful.

I found that locale is a program part of glibc-2.2.4-18mdk on my system. 
My kernel supports CP437. I think that I have to reinstall my cooker 
package for it to work.

Sounds like you configured each computer with different security levels. 
On top of that, the computer/server sounds like it is "hosed" because 
linuxconf made some changes. I recommend editing everything through 
linuxconf before totally giving up and reinstalling your system. I know 
that you are trying to work with the problem and saving a reinstallation 
as a last result, otherwise you wouldn't have posted to this site. 
Another "sound" that I hear about your system is that it sounds like 
your filesystem could use a fsck or reiserfschk.HTH

Wouldn't be simpler to create a cron job to remove the af_packet from 
the kernel instead? Wouldn't that take away their internet access? or 
IP_Sec? Isn't that simpler? or you don't have that "type" of access to 
their machines?

Did you do a "make oldconfig"? or try to use the config from your old 
working kernel? Use that and then recompile. Your problems should be 
solved. I hope this helps

I just downloaded VMWare soon after posting my prior message. I'm going 
to try them all. I hope VMWare can do WMA in 98/2000/XP because those 
the other operating systems that I have on my systems. I will post to 
the list my success with VMWare and Win4Line (when it arrives).
