No, good.

/etc/localtime is a binary file.  See

 I also bought a SMC wireless network card. I used the newly inlcuded hostap
 modules and they work very well. I also copied some piece of code from
 debian to have something like this in my interfaces:
 
 auto wlan0
 iface wlan0 inet static
 address 192.168.4.1
 masklen 24
  wireless_essid Linuks

Are you sure that line is right? Doesn't it have an up before the
wireless_essid ?

 Works very well when i call ifup/ifdown wlan0 or ifup/ifdown -a on the
 console. But when i reboot the system wlan0 is missing. Where get the
 network interfaces initialized? networking is not called in runlevel 2???
 Hm... 

I would guess some startup script executed after networking is started
that enables your wireless setup.  Someone else may be able to provide
more concise help... I would just be looking at the RCDLINKS variables in
the init files.

All,

Can I get your experienced recommendation about which LEAF to 
 might work best for a very specific application?

Bering would basically be drop in and go,
once you get it customized to your needs.
It's intended for uses like yours and is
mature and well documented.



I am with an ISP in Los Angeles and we have rolled out 802.11b towers 

Unidirectional?  You talk about many people
pointing at it.  Curious what's your SNR at
these cities and what your external antenna
setup would be on the LEAF.




Also, is it necessary to follow the steps 
 outlined by Richard Dale below to get an Orinoco card
 working with Bering LEAF still?


JN will have to tell you if RC4 has the most recent
updates.  I would figure it does.

I use a Orinoco Gold and rc3.  Were you thinking
an ISA PC-Card converter?  That's what I have and
I don't see the need for a pci one.  Are you thinking
pc104 or some small form factor for the router?

Well, it's not designed to boot from r/o media and save

Ok, i found my problem. The network interfaces become initialized before
initd is starting. The first script which becomes executed in runlevel 2, is
a script which copies some configuration files. It copies also a updated
interfaces file. But because the network is initialized already, my wlan
interface does not become up anymore. I fixed it my way. :)

What's the reason not using a init script for initializing the network?

RE: [leaf-user] Problems with RC4

2002-10-27 Thread Joey Officer
I noticed that you said your setup is approximately 60mb, I'm curious to a
couple of things.

1 What is the purpose of running such a system from CD?  I understand the
need for quick booting, but would this make a static system, you can only
modify so much, I assume that you are still using a floppy disk to make
changes to config files and such?

2 There have been a few other threads that you might check through the
archives of people putting more and more onto a LEAF release, one thing I
had looked at was putting a fax server on a LEAF router.  Something with a
multiport card, storage would be offsite (ie a fileserver), in essence you
could have a 2U box in your rack that serves as a multipurpose unit.

3 As a suggestion to your mySQL problem, double check your users accounts, I
seem to recall someone else having a user account problem when migrating
between the different Bering releases.  Good luck, and I look forward to
seeing your write up when you complete everything.

Joey

This sounds to be be indeed grsecurity related. Bering was not really
designed to be a full fledged distro :-) but rather a secure router...
The way to proceed would be to compile your own kernel and relax the
grsecurity options. Since I am currently out of town I cannot help you more
about that -- I do not have access to my doc.
Hope you will find the solution. If so please report it to the list

Re: [leaf-user] Bering equivalent to ipconfig /all ?

2002-10-27 Thread Ray Olszewski
I'm guessing a bit here, but I *think* what Craig wants is a an ip 
command that lists ALL interfaces, not *just* CONFIGURED interfaces (that 
is, interfaces with an IP address assigned). The more familiar analogy in 
Linux circles would be the difference between ifconfig and  ifconfig -a 
... he wants an equivalent to the second.

If I am correct in my guess about what ipconfig /all reports (and I'm no 
Windows expert, though I do use Windows, so I may easily be wrong), then I 
think that ip lacks this capability. At least I've never found one. But 
you might check to see if unconfigured interfaces are listed directly in 
the pseudo-file /proc/net/dev ... I can't tell from the description in man 
proc.

And if I may made a suggestion ... asking for a LEAF or Linux equivalent to 
a specific Windows command is a tough way to pose a question to a bunch of 
Linux experts ... not so much because you run into anti-Windows prejudice 
(though the assumption that Windows commands are the lingua franca of 
computing can easily annoy even people who are not Windows bashers), but 
because people who know the command you are asking about may not know that 
it is equivalent to an unfamiliar Windows command. By all means *refer* to 
the Windows command, but please also *describe* the sort of output you are 
looking for, to increase the chances of your getting a helpful response.

You can get ifconfig.lrp if you want one. Else ip is the command to use.

Ip link show - displays all links
Ip addr show - etc...

Lynn Avants has a command reference on the leaf site. It would give a

[leaf-user] eth0: Too much work in interrupt

2002-10-27 Thread Greg Morgan
FYI,  UI unknowingly performed my own Denial of Service attack. 
:-[  I was receiving a series of
	eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status ec01.
and finally followed by a
	NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
	eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000
Links like the one below from google did not provide much information. 
Some of the google links go back to 1998, when some of the Ethernet 
drivers were still maturing.

I lost a switch.  This is the second SMC eight port switch that I've 
seen go bad--it will be my last.  The older switches had either an MDI 
switch or a special crossover port to control crossover connections. 
Most of the new switches out there are auto crossover detecting on all 
ports.  I _finally_ replaced the SMC with a Netgear switch. (Blush..I 
took the hawking eight port switch back thinking it was bad.)

I have two cable runs from one switch location to the other.  The design 
is that one of the two cable runs should remain unplugged from the other 
switch.  The second cable lets me play with the LEAF box or throw it up 
in the closet after the configuration has stabilized.  I mistakenly 
plugged the second cable into both switches.  All of a sudden I had 
eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status . being displayed on all 
my Linux boxes including the Dachstein-CD box.  The MS Windows PCs just 
hung there or I would receive a No domain server available at the MS 
Windows network login. I thought the new switch was bad at first but did 
not realize that the samba server, Redhat 7.3, was wrapped around the 
axle trying to handle all the interrupts being generated from two routes 
two each switch.

Normally in the MDI/crossover button next to a port and only one 
crossover jack available days of networking hardware, you wouldn't have 
received a link light on the second connection.  Only one connection 
would have succeeded.  However, both connections were successful on the 
new auto crossover switch.

So for all you that find this via a google search in the future look at 
mis-connected switches/network hardware. That may just be one 
possibility.  I wonder if a router with two NICs plugged into the same 
switch would produce the same result.?  You'd also probably have to have 
two IP addresses on the same segment, etc.

I sheepishly say, I hope this helps. knowing I am probably the only 
person willing to admit my bone mistake for others to find it in google. 
 Hee! Hee! maybe that's why you can't find much on this topic in 
google!   :-(*)

Does anybody know why this error is generated on a Redhat 7.0 server?
It is a very high traffic server, but I'd like to understand a little
more about what's going on here before I try to 'tune it away'.  Also,
which parameters control this, and what can I do about this?

'eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status ec01.'

I've done a google search for it, to no avail.  There are plenty of
people with the same problem, but no concrete answers.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [leaf-user] print server

I'm using the 9100.lrp package and treating my box as a JetDirect
device. I've heard of others using lpr.lrp

Google on either of these should find them for you.

[leaf-user] Prism2_pci problem

2002-10-27 Thread Kim Oppalfens
Hi all,


I am trying to switch over to bering RC3 to RC4.
In that switch I would like te replace my hostap_pci based wireless module
With the prism2_pci variant.

Reason for the switch is major stability problems using the hostap module.
If I get a relatively large downstream (+-100 KB/sec) the box just locks up.

Problem with the prism2_pci is that although he recongnizes my dlink dwl-520

Wireless nic, I can not configure it. 

If I try to use iwconfig on wlan0 to show the current config I get : No
wireless extensions 
If I try to change the config for instance by using iwconfig wlan0 mode
managed,
I get : Set Operation failed.

Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Kim
