Subject: NFS Install on RedHat 6.0
Date: Thu, 08 Jul 1999 13:18:35 GMT
Ok. I am having problems getting RH 6.0 to properly export a NFS share
so I can install from it. Here is the situation. I have RH 6.0
installed on my main tower, w/ copious amounts of hard drive space. I
intend to copy the cdroms of the various distro's I'm playing w/ to
the /pub directory. I have several 486's w/ LinkSys Ether16 cards, but
no cdrom. I have one of the 486's w/ Slackware 4.0 on it (before it's
cdrom crapped out), and I am trying to iron out the wrinkles of NFS
permissions btwn the slakware box and the rh box so I can install in
the rest of the 486's. I am using the home network address of
192.168.1.0 w/ netmask 255.255.255.0. My /etc/hosts on the rh box
looks like:
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1shaitan.milanuk.net shaitan
192.168.1.3sammael.milanuk.net sammael
192.168.1.4asmodean.milanuk.netasmodean
192.168.1.5lanfear.milanuk.net lanfear
My hosts_allow file is somewhat unclear at this time. I would really
rather not have ALL:ALL in it; can I
have 'nfs:192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0' to allow nfs to the local network?
/etc/hosts.allow
portmap: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
# per Caldera 2.2 manual ?
My /etc/hosts.deny is currently blank
I would not like to give widespread access in my exports file,
so here it is:
/etc/exports
/pub*.milanuk.net (ro)
After setting all this, I did /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop,
then /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
My slackware box will, depending on which way I have my files
configured, either say 'permission denied' or else successfully mount
w/ 'mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/pub /pub', then allow me to browse the
volume, but when I try to copy a file from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.4
(the slackware box), I get '192.168.1.1 not responding, keep trying'
twice, then usually a complaint about not being able to get or request
a slot or something, and it hangs, and I cannot kill the 'cp'; the only
way to break it is to stop nfs on the rh box. The funny thing is, as
the nfs is shutting down, it suddenly copies the file o.k. WTF?
any help would be appreciated. I have been going thru my RH manual, my
SuSE manual, my Caldera manual, my FreeBSD manual, The Linux Network,
Essential System Adminstration, the man pages for export, nfs, and
mount, and the NFS howto. Everything seems to assume that something
prior to /etc/exports is set up properly, which apparently it isn't.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time,
Monte

Hello World !
I've a question referring to the modem above. I heard that it should be
supported bij the kernel. Nevertheless I'm not able to find it. But the
modem is recognized bij linux, but as an unknowned device. Oh, right I'm
using kernel 2.2.5.
I also checked th /init.d/serial for the right settings, but either the
modem is not answering or busy.
PLEASE HELP ME. I HATE MICROSOFT (MOST OF THE TIME).

Hello,
i found out that ftp needs two tcp connections to the server.
The first one is to port 21, and for dir/ls the port 20 seems to be
used. Are these default values always the same? (i mean esp. port 20)
And if so, is it secure to allow incoming connections for this port?
Thanx,
Arash :-)

I found that the entry in the /etc/ppp/options file was telling ppp
not to go into the background when the connection was successful. I
changed it from the SuSE default and I get my command prompt back to
go on to launch other things.

Subject: Win98 + samba server
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 20:04:55 +0200
O.K. here's it..
2 machines , 1 pentium and 1 486DX the pentium has a dialup connection
to an ISP.
I've build the network and got it working at least that is, telnet and
ftp without using an DNS.
the pentium runs win98 (also linux but this is not the primary OS here).
the 486DX runs Linux with samba server.
the pentium only has one user.
When that user try to access the shares on the 486DX there are 3
possibilities.
1 No access what so ever.
2 Request for a password, wich was given in previous sessions and to
be stored.
3 No problem.
I can't find out what the differences are in those session.
A speed test with a file of 850kB downloaded from 486DX with ftp in
win98 takes me 6 sec.
the same file downloaded from 486DX but than with linux on yhe pentium
only takes me 1 sec.
any suggestions here ?
Last issue,
every time when start a telnet or ftp session (in win98) to the 486DX
,first an attempt is made to try the ISP (so I cancel the dialup
sequence) then it connects.
I tried using a DNS (ofcourse imight have missed something there) but
the only difference was that instead of using the IP-addresses icould
use the names of the machines (naturaly).
Anybody with any answers and/or suggestions.

Telnet from a PC under Windows to Linux works correctly, excepted for
root.
It is a home LAN (2 PC !) without security problem.
Where is the key ?

In general, the "~" is just a shorthand for the complete path
to that users home-directory. It's extracted from /etc/passwd, where
the home for each user is (should be) specified. So ~matt should
be read as home-dir-of-matt-wherever-that-is ;)

Well, another idea that occurs to me is this. The ISP provides users
with two email IDs. One for general email use, the second for use with
USENET messages as a valid reply address. The client software is somehow
smart enough to know that one of the email address is exclusively for
replies from USENET.
The messages in this mailbox are filtered against a list of subject lines
used when posting to newsgroups. This might take up some storage for
prolific authors, but it is only hypothetical anyway. There are other
difficulties, but the biggest is technological -- the software to do this
is simply not here. It might be an idea for someone like AOL, however.

Of course it is possible, only binaries in /bin and /sbin, and libraries in
/lib are required to get the system and network running. After you get the
network up you can mount the /usr and start any services you like. Any
decent distribution will do this automatically if put a similar line to the
following in /etc/fstab:
server:/usr /usr nfs defaults 0 0
I guess you would also like to share home directories as well. If so, then
you should also consider using NIS so that user passwords are kept only in
one place. And of course mails should be centralized too. Well, all depending
on your needs, of course.
Few hints I have found useful:
- Put configuration files (and directories) that are common to all clients
in /usr/local/etc (or similar) and on clients make symlinks from
/usr/local/etc to /etc. That way you only need to modify one file
instead of ten. Some of the files I have moved:
* /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d
* /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
* /etc/[zck]sh*
* all directoties under /etc/X11 (on RedHat at least this works)
- Restart NFS server and
