Microsoft works with Microsoft. Linux works with everything.  The best
way to set it up  is to have Linux as you gateway/masq box.  Set up
Linux with IP Masquing, and hook to the internet thru it.

Why would anyone want to use Microsoft for a gateway, anyhow?

Does this module normally display any verbose info?

When I do "insmod" on it, the command goes thru with no echo at all. Is this
alrite? I have a ne200 compatible on another computer, and it informs me
that the eth. card was found when it loads.

Thanx,

Hi,

I am using RedHat Linux 5.2 and encounter the following problem:

portmap -d reports: "portmap[10320]: cannot bind upd: Address already in
use".

My TCP/IP setup seems to be ok, Ping, FTP, HTTP and telnet work in
both directions.

Does anyone have an idea what the reason for this error might be?

I appreciate your help!

Is there a HOW-TO or equivalent information on setting up POP3 or IMAP on 
a Linux box?  I've looked and found nothing on point so far.

Also, this box is going to be operating as a firewall.  What/where is the 
best HowTo or other tip sheet for firewall use?

Thanks, 
Gerald

Hi,

I fixed my masqueraded inaccessible website problem by setting the MTU to 
1500 on the gateway.  It seemed to fix access to sites like www.hotmail.com and
Deja News and such.

Hope this helps,

Subject: ppp0 and eth0
Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 13:23:27 -0500

I have both a modem connected to my machine and I am connected to a
corporate Lan.  The lan PDC is an NT machine and my box is a Linux.  I would
like to be able to dial to my ISP with my Linux box, which I can do.  I just
can't find any DNS entries for anything on the internet.  I am assuming my
setup forces me to look at my Intranet DNS for host name resolution, and not
my ISP.  How do I change this so I can surf the net, download email, and
view newsgroups from my Linux box?

THanks.

This helped. /var/log/messages showed a problem exec'ing
/usr/sbin/tcpd and it turns out the file was missing. I copied tcpd
from my other machine and now telnet works.

Since telnet definitely worked in the past this still leaves the
question of whether telnet worked without tcpd in the past and then
suddenly started requiring it or if telnet always needed tcpd and tcpd
spontaneously self deleted.

I believe (both due to the above message, and my memory of previous
posts to the newsgroup regarding ne.o) that 8390.o need be installed
before ne.o.  Try using depmod and modprobe instead -- modprobe will
load the correct modules, in order, and will then unload 8390.o when
you're done with ne.o.

The main site can be hit fine (ex: site.com/) however the user

Every time I try to go to the users web pages I get a forbidden error.
It says that I don't have permissiions to look at that file. I have
another 5.2 machine that is not the SSL verion and everything seems to
run fine. Whhat is the problem here?

I have not generated a cirtificate yet or anything like that on the
secure server. The user files are in /home/user/public_html as normal
but I can still only see the main site and not the /~user-space. I tried
to access the userspace with a trailing slash/ too and no luck. Am I
missing something in one of the conf files? I have my DNS name as the
ServerName as usual. What's up here?

There's a \windows\hosts file in Win95. The default TCP/IP install
puts a hosts.sam file in that needs to be copied to just hosts and
edited as appropriate. If you are running samba the Win95 machines
will look hosts up there also before trying DNS.

I've been using Slackware Linux for a year now, and I have a question that
may sound stupid.  My PC is connected to the internet through a dial-up modem
connection, and currently I have no local networked computers.  I was
browsing auction items on eBay this morning with Netscape 4.05 and only had
one browser window open.  I connected with ppp-go, and there were no other
sessions active (no ftp, telnet, etc.) and I had no other applications
running.  I noticed that my hard drive was working like crazy and xload's
graphical chart was maxed out. I launched TOP, and saw that FIND was using
almost all resources, then SORT kicked in using most resources.  I use NETKBD
to monitor modem send/receive (blinking keyboard cap lock & scroll lock LED's
instead of an external modem's LED's), and they indicated data send/receive
even though the web page and all graphics were loaded that I was viewing.  I
know that Win95 will occasionally do virtual memory housekeeping, but I don't
think that is what Linux was doing.  Do I have anything to worry about?

This isn't difficult, I just went through this myself a couple of
weeks ago.

Assuming your card works, and you didn't power cycle after booting Windows
(meaning the cable modem is still talking to the cable), all you need
are the IP address, netmask, default gateway, and DNS IP's.

The hard way is to manually configure the ethernet card via ifconfig by
editing the appropriate script in /etc/rc.d, add the DNS IP's to 
/etc/resolv.conf, and add a route command to set the default route
via the gateway IP, something like
  route add default gw $GATEWAY
where $GATEWAY is the IP address of their Default Gateway.

The easy way is to run the latest dhcpcd, and change /etc/resolv.conf to
be a symbolic link to one created by dhcpcd:
  /etc/resolv.conf -> /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf

You need the 0.70 version because it takes a '-h hostname' option which
is required to negotiate with @home. This "hostname" is a character
string identying your machine, and is usually something like "C73921-B"

This is all I have in my /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file for my cable modem:
   /usr/local/sbin/dhcpcd -h $DHCPHOSTNAME

Make sure you run dhcpcd and NOT dhcpd ... one is the client daemon, the
other is the server daemon and @home will get real pissed if you start
running the server.

Subject: Puzzling MS CHAP problem
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:49:09 GMT

I'm trying to get a linux box to dial into an NT server.
I've read as much documentation as I can find (howtos, mini-howtos,
faqs, source, etc) and haven't found anything that appears to
correspond to my problem.

The problem: MS-CHAP authorization fails every time. The negotiations
  appear to go well, and then the NT box just fails the auth
  sequence for reasons (mostly) unknown.

Some config info:

Slackware 3.5 (linux 2.0.34, pppd 2.3 patch level 5), an
  out-of-the-box install, nothing fancy

NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 (build 1381)

I've triple-checked the NT side of things; the user name is set
correctly, I've re-typed the password for the account twice and
the network is set to "allow any authorization including plaintext".
It's a stand-alone machine at the moment, so the DOMAIN\\username
format shouldn't need to be used; I tested that anyway, with the
same failure resulting.

My ppp-on script: (comments removed for conciseness)

--- Cut Here ---
#!/bin/sh
cd /etc/ppp
TELEPHONE=*70W555-
INITSTRING="Z"

My [ch|p]ap-secrets file:

--- Cut Here ---
testuser * testword *
* testuser testword *
--- Cut Here ---

Some notes at this point:
- the kdebug stuff didn't mean much to me, so I've stripped it
  out of the log; I can post it later if needed
- the configuration works if I switch -pap with -chap; PAP auth
  suceeds and all is fine. The point is I want to get the
  MS-CHAP auth working.

What seems to be happening: The protocol negotiation goes okay,
then NT just ignores the CHAP response. I get the same
response on an older system where I had to manually download
and install the MS-CHAP support. I ran the test program
that came with the ppp code I downloaded and it produced
the expected response, so the CHAP encryption is working.
The passwords etc are correct, because I can auth with PAP
successfully. The only hint I can find about what might be
going wrong is NT logs the following in the event log:

Source: RouterType: WarningCategory: None

The user connected to port COM2 has been disconnected due to
an authorization timeout.

I don't understand why, since the CHAP response goes out
right away. My only guess is that I haven't configured ppp
correctly somehow. I haven't been able to test against a
second NT box due to hardware constraints.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you have an extra machine, here's another solution.

Set it up as a firewall for the first machine, to not allow outbound telnets
at all to pass through. Then set up the trusted users with shell /bin/telnet
on that machine.

If you want to subnets to have different network addresses (1.1.1 and
2.2.2 in your example) then you need a router for them to communicate.
Each hub would have to be plugged in to a port on the router.  The router
can either be hardware based (eg cisco) or software based (use your UNIX
server).

If you use your UNIX server, you will need to configure routing and have
2 NICs in the server, one to talk to each hub.

I am attempting to do the same thing.  I have setup a server with RH v5.2.
I used the default server installation.  I think what you would want to do
is put two network cards in your server and setup the server as a firewall
and add the proxy server after you get the firewall to work.  I just checked
the HowTo's at the www.linux.org site.  The HowTo's you want are the
Ethernet, Net-3, Firewalling and Proxy Server and the Cable Modem Mini
HowTo.  I have the cable modem up and working, I just have the firewall and
proxy server to do.  The Firewall and Proxy server howto suggest that you
use a Proxy Server called TIS.  It's free and you can get it at www.tis.com.

Sadly the 2.0.36 chnages to 3c509.c seem to totally break actually
detecting one of these cards. RH 5.2 uses 2.0.36 and does not detect
these cards.

RH deserves special priase for either missing a depency on mount or

Hi there,

I am a new user of Linux too, but I do not think you are approaching the
problem correctly. I suggest you consult your basic Linux howto files
available at www.linux.org or any other Linux source that can be found
almost anywhere on the net. These howto's are easily downloaded and
understood, and should provide you with enough information concerning the
topics you need info about.

The reason are "encrypted" passwords in Windows98 an NT 4 SerPack3. There is

Good Afternoon!!

I have successfully created a firewall in our Linux Server. I can
now browse the internet and send/
receive e-mail. I can also do ftp. However, when I tried to download a
file from an ftp site using a
browser, it doesn't work. If I use an ftp client such as WSFTP from a
Windows 95 client, I can
connect to the firewall and thru it download the file. I checked the
settings of ftp in the browser and
it's correct. I don't why this happens. Does SOCKS have something to do
with it? If so, how can I
set it since I am using TIS Firewall Toolkit and there's nothing about
SOCKS? ANy help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Now, this is something that I can comment on.  The README file that comes
with the 2.0.x Linux kernels suggests using 'make zlilo' instead, since that
will build the compressed image *and* run lilo to update the boot links.
There is, as far as I know, no '%' needed.  I have used 'make zlilo' to build
kernels from 2.0.0 to 2.0.36, so I know that it works.  I was unaware, however,
that you could inovke multiple targets in one make call, so I have always
done the make calls separately for each of the targets I needed to run.

mars_nwe 0.99.pl13
RH Linux 5.1/2.0.35

It's really a shame, I've come this far in getting mars_nwe to work, only to
learn that it doesn't provide any security (that I noticed anyway). Or
perhaps it does, but I've yet to find any detailed reference to it. I've
tried using SYSCON from a workstation - it SEEMS to work. It lets me set
user's trustee rights in a given directory, or make them part of a group with
such rights. I have the -t flag on the volumes in question. Then I log in as
that user and I get the most unpredictable behavior. Some times it lets them
see files and directories belonging (as SYSCON sees it) to other users, even
created by other users. I don't mean just file scan rights, but full
read/write access. I've tried setting various default create permissions for
each volume, presently using 711 for directories and 600 for files. I've
tried both a root and non- root supervisor. Deleted the bindery and trustee
directories. With groups and without. I haven't even tried security
equivilances, so that's not the problem.

Still, Any user can often see other user's files, read, write, create and
delete them. On more than one occassion, the same user COULD NOT see their
own files! The only reason I need mars_nwe is because the the UGO rights that
Linux provides don't allow me to place a person into more than one group (at
a time) or allow rights to a file by more than one group.

I'm thinking it's time to ditch this program and take a closer look at Samba.
It's more of a pain to do that way, but at least it works. I'd really like to
see this mars_nwe work, but I need some details, and perhaps an explanation
of how this happened so I can avoid security problems in the future. I've
searched USENET and WWW, but I guess I'm using the wrong query, because
nothing useful turns up.

Help?

This sounds like it could be an ARP problem although I don't know why it
would be happening in such a vanilla installation as yours. What do you
have the Broadcast address set to on your amiga? (use ifconfig to show
you this). It should be, in your case, 192.168.0.255.

Hello,

I set up a HP Omnibook with RedHat linux 5.2 for a collegue at work
(which is working fine) and now he's bought a 3Com Megahertz 3CCFEM556
Ethernet/Modem (3c574 in driver terms), however I'm having problems
gettting to work (it works fine under windows which is a bitter pill to
swallow).

I got the latest version of pcmcia card manager (3.0.6) and it does note
that the 3c574 just doesn't respond in some cases, but I'd like your
advice as to whether this is the case here or whether I've missed
something out (this is the first time I've done a linux system with
pcmcia).

The card manager build went okay and I set up the network configuration
in the same way as I've always done except for /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
where PCMCIA=yes this time. The messages at boot time seem to suggest
that the card is being detected and the correct driver loaded (the
/etc/log/messages text is included at the end of this post). However I
don't know what to make of the other messages (eg, cs: warning: no high
memory space available!)

Does anyone have any ideas of what is going on here, the messages are
far too cryptic for me? If you need any more info or listings of config
files, please let me know and I'll post them. If you're posting to the
news group please email me also.

Many thanks, Neal.

I don't think Dial_in-HOWTO exists. PPP-HOWTO has some hints for this

compile ur kernel with experimental drivers and activate the following:

ip forwarding
ip masquerading
ipautofw support

then create a script with the contents:

ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0

which must be run as root, after u have established the internet
connection on ur machine. this should solve the problem.
but u have to think about further (if necessary) security, due
to this solution isnt secure at all. for further information
read the ip-masquerading HOWTO or check out

http://www.indyramp.com/masq

or, email me if this isnt enough.


good luck with it,

Subject: Dial up with RH 5.0
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:46:45 GMT

Hi,

I can't seem to initiate a dial up to start a PPP contion to my ISP
with RH 5.0

I've checked PPP and TCP/IP are installed and set up a PPP conection in
using the  Network configuration tool, adding
phone numbers, id and pw etc and activated the PPP link.

The modem is set up on 'com3' and appears OK.

However, other that one apparantly random attempt at dialing, the modem 
doesn't dial out. I can't find and equivalent to clicking on a DUN
icon (a la Win 95) nor an option in Netscape to initiate a connection
automatically.

(I'm pretty sure the line and modem are OK, they work under Win 95)
Am I missing something obvious? 

The RH documentation is all but useless in this area.

Thanks in advance & Regards

Brian

I was merrily typing along on a paper running netscape, x11amp, ncftp, and
some other apps when I got up to get some coffee.  My foot caught my keyboard
cable sending it crashing to the ground.  I picked it up and snapped the case
back together (this was at one time a frequent occurence) and got coffee. 
When I looked back my screen was frozen.  I'm assuming that this happened
immediatly upon the falling of my keyboard but there was about five min
inbetween checking the screen and picking up the keyboard.  Onto what
matters... Everything was locked up so I tried everything I knew to do. 
First Ctrl-Alt-Function key to get to another terminal, then
ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of X.  Then I went up to my housmate's computer
and tried telneting in, then pinging.  All of these gave me a fairly dead
computer, no different that as if it was unpluged and in the box in which it
arrived.  I powered down after my first total crash in Linux in a year and a
half of running it and brought it back up again and resumed typing.  I
evetually opened up ncftp to resume my downloads and found that I had no
network access.  I can ping 127.0.0.1 and my real ip, but pinging anything
else gives me 100% packet loss, though network control panel is sure that
eth0 is active, as is /proc/.  Running RedHat5.1, kernels 2.0.36 and 2.1.130,
not sure which was active on crash but niether works now.  Logs give me
nothing as far as errors dealing with ehthernet are concerned.  I can still
telnet, apache, ftp, etc into my own ip.  None of my configs have new dates
or strange info in them that wasn't there before.  I'm not sure how i'll go
about wasting time during finals week without net access. Back to

Does anyone know how or where to set a default Appletalk Zone with
Netatalk.

I have RedHat Linux 5.1 and Netatalk 1.42b
We have a multi-zoned Appletalk Network, the system default is "UMB Net"
which is where my Linux box appears, by default.

I want to appear in a different zone i.e. "UMB Biology"

I am unsure which file I need to modify.  I think it might be
/usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd,  adding the line
afpd -n @"UMB Biology"

Thanks in advance to anyone who might shed light on this.

Back when I had an ibm.net account, which i used exclusively with a
notebook computer that booted OS/2 and Win95 (job took me on the road a
lot), which lapsed about a year ago, it was usinet.username

If you like, I can ask. I have a friend who works at IBM Global
Services. 

> Is "advantis" some kind of ppp-server or...?

"Advantis" was what ibm.net used to call itself when it was a
cooperative between IBM and Sears. it stands for something - I believe
the va is Value Added and the IS is IBM and Sears, but I don't remember
the rest. IBM provided the actual equipment, infrastructure, and
software - Sears provided the customer service. This ended roughly 2
years ago, I think. Maybe 3. 

IBM Global Services just sold their infrastructure to AT&T for several
billion dollars. You might find yourself a Worldnet customer soon. But
it's unclear - IBM still intends to sell services, but AT&T gets to own
the actual network. I don't get it. But 6 billion is 6 billion. More
than I'll ever make.

ibm.net is one of the funkier internet providers. For starters, I can
tell you that the username it's looking for is going to be
"usinet.foobar" where foobar is your account name. 

Other than that, I'd say to look for a faq somewhere. try searching
altavista for advantis + linux, or something along those lines.

I didn't think IRDA was designed to go any faster than 9600bps?

Unless you have a winmodem, I would highly suggest that you move the modem to
the linux box and use it to do the masq / proxy work.  I tested Wingate, for
comparison reasons, and the features and performance lagged compared to linux.
No hard numbers, just noticed that the performance lagged a bit.  My
non-technical girlfriend noticed it, too.
 Yeah, it was slightly easier to set up, but the loss in performance ain't
worth it.  I'm running a 56K  on a 486 with Slackware 2.0.36, and it rocks.

Need some hints?  Some of the best information for masq / ppp / diald is at

I have my news program set to both email and post to group. I figure that the
person may not check back to the group quickly and I assume that whn a question
is asked, the person asking wants an answer. Sometimes desparately.

I used to use nospam at the front of my return address, then just decided that
I know how to use a delete button.

Check my FAq page (www.cablemodemhelp.com). It includes a little security
seciton and a portscan page that you may use to check your machine for
services (www.cablemodemhelp.com/portscan.htm).

BTW: cable operators absolutly hate sendmail (and other mail servers) because
of relay problems. Low traffic web servers (private use) are usually ok. Some
operators just would like you to tell them about it.

Hi!

I just replaced an old Linux server with a new dual PII machine. I put
RH 5.2 on it, put 2.1.129 SMP kernel on, copied the PPP and masquerading
stuff on, Samba file & print sharing on.

Everything is fast as can be with only one hitch. I can access the
outside world from the server (as I am now), but nothing gets forwarded
from other machines.  They can talk to the server, but can't see the
outside world.

I assume that routing is broken? After re-reading NAG selections
regarding routing, nothing obvious pops up.  I'm an experienced
programmer, but there's a lot of sysadmin stuff that I'll admit a great
deal of cluelessness.

I'm basicall looking for a clue, or a direction to head in.

The thing that I'm suspicious about is the routing table. It doesn't
look like what I saw on the old server.

/sbin/route says:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
slc3-tc.xmissio *   255.255.255.255 UH0  00
ppp0
192.168.50.0*   255.255.255.0   U 0  00
eth0
192.168.50.0*   255.255.255.0   U 0  00
eth0
127.0.0.0   *   255.0.0.0   U 0  00
lo
default slc3-tc.xmissio 0.0.0.0 UG0  00
ppp0
default therrindur.dynd 0.0.0.0 UG0  00
eth0

where slc3-tc.xmissio... is the dial-up connection with my ISP.
therrindur.dynd... is my server.

The  ip-up script sets up the masquerading. It hasn't changed from the
old:

 Haha, nice solution ! But if you wanted to do this with off-the-shelf

 NICs, it wouldn't work the same as TP full-duplex. However, you could

 build your own custom chips... But then again it probably would be 
 cheaper to go TP all the way... Darn coax ;-)

Have you not poke around at Netscape's site at all?!?!? You can't  be
serious!  Netscape is the default GUI browser for Linux!!  All the way
up to 4.5!  (even if it is kindof, um, buggy).

Howdy MarkCheck out the HowTo for NFS.  you will need to edit the hosts,
/etc/hosts.allow, and /etc/hosts.deny files.  You will need a log in account
on the other box.  Make your own exportfs script  to kill and restart the
daemons and put it in your scripts directory.
__
  #!/bin/sh
  killall -HUP /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
  killall -HUP /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd
  echo re-exported file systems
  _
The other box will need to have it's hosts files properly setup also.
