Re: [netbug 79] Re: NetKit's future? (OpenBSD ports)
Well, quite simply, the latest version of NetKit that was available when developing our latest release (Red Hat Linux 6.1) was NetKit 0.10. We did some work to port the OpenBSD tools over during development for 6.0, but that's been abandoned. My long-term plans are to hand netkit over to Red Hat for their delectation in a few months, after whatever maintenance issues exposed by the 0.16 release are straightened out (probably with an 0.17 release.) Also, 0.16's barely been out a month, and it's been a month that's contained both the winter holidays and Y2K. Everyone relax. :-) (Although, an update RPM for talk would be nice to see - people are going to like the scrolling support.) -- David A.

The only modules built were the ones I need for masquerading, which get iserted explicitly in rc.local.

scsi host emulation
Hi, (RH6.0 Kernel 2.2.5-15) Santa brought me a Ricoh 7060A ATAPI CD-RW for Christmas :-) It worked straight away as a CD-ROM device using the ide-cd module as device /dev/hdc, but I'd like to use cdrecord and so I'm setting it up to be driven by ide-scsi. cdrecord now sees the drive as the second device on scsibus0 and I can mount the device at /dev/scd0 to access CD-ROMs. Two questions though: 1) I have to manually load ide-scsi (modprobe ide-scsi). How can I make this happen on demand or at startup? 2) An unexpected (by me :) side effect is that my ATAPI ZIP drive (was /dev/hdd) is now seen by cdrecord as the first device on scsibus0. I can't mount /dev/hdd4 anymore, but I'm happy to switch to a scsi device if that will work. What device should I be trying to mount? Do I need any other driver modules loaded and do I need to tell any driver to ignore hdd? Thanks, Nick. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
RE: Software RAID
GWI was under the impression that 6.0 supports RAID as well ... GW Maybe it does... I didn't try it then but... I never saw an install time option for it with 6.0 and there is with 6.1. To clarify briefly. Linux kernels as-of version 2.1.something support software RAID, if you say yes to the apropriate software RAID related options when you compile the kernel (afaik this is configured in Redhat stock kernels already) and install the raidtools package, so _Linux_ 2.2 supports software RAID. Redhat 6.0 and 6.1 can both use kernel 2.2.12 and the latest raidtools package, thus both support software RAID. The destinction is that the Anaconda installation system in 6.1 has the option to configure RAID at install time, whereas the 6.0 installer doesn't. The proceedure for creating a RAID array after installation is the same, create your apropriate partitions with the system id "fd" for raid autodetect. Create your /etc/raidtab file to define your md device(s), use mkraid to create the md device(s), use mke2fs to make a filesystem on it/them, then use it/them as a filesystem. Ta Da! I've had great results with root as a normal filesystem, /var as a RAID-0 array and /home as a RAID-1 array. If you feel that you must have a RAID device mounted as root, read the root-raid howto (recalling that it's somewhat dated). The jist of it is that you must create a small normal partition to mount as /boot because you cannot boot a kernel from a RAID array. Afaik with raid autodetect in kernel 2.2.12 (and possibly earlier) it should be as simple as: 1. Compile all the RAID related stuff directly into your kernel (no modules) 2. Create your /boot filesystem and put the apropriate data into it (your kernel). 3. Create the RAID device you want to use as root and mount it to some mountpoint 4. Boot in single-user mode and copy the contents of your root partition into the RAID device. 5. Alter your lilo.conf to indicate the new root device (don't change it's install location, just the root parameter it feeds to the kernel) 6. Run lilo and reboot. RTFM section: See the Software-RAID mini-howto and the Root-RAID-HOWTO for more detailed but probably less up-to-date information. Also see raidtab(5) and related man pages if you have raidtools installed. -- "I've always wanted to be somebody.

If this is software raid, then probably not. If this is hardware raid then maybe. There's two parts to this: 1) can a device be added to the raid group and the raid group extended across it. a) for software raid, if you're using LVM (Logical Volume Manager) then yes you can add a device, if not then no. LVM? clue me in, what is lvm and how does it work with raidtools? LVM stands for Logical Volume Manager as HPUX and AIX have. The current version for Linux (AFAIK) works like the HPUX varient. What this does, in software,is to allow groups of physical devices to be viewed as one logical devicemuch like linear mode under raid tools except it allows the addition of devices and storage groups. I believe that in some implementations it is possible to run some types of software raid on top of it. Some LVMs have file system extension features also. b) for hardware raid, depends on the manufacturer. My Mylex Acceleraid allows additional devices added after the raid group is built. Other Manuf. do also. yes, DPT, Mylex, etc. But do they have it with support for linux. For example, the Mylex Xtreme RAID 1100, yes you can, in the bios, add a drive to an existing RAID. But how does the operating system handle the geometry of the disk changing like that, how does it deal with it? We have xtremeraid 1100 controllers and DPT SmartRaid V controllers, but have you actually expanded a raid and gotten it to work under linux? See my other comment. You need a tool, such as ext2resize (see freshmeat or www.dsv.nl/~buytenh/ext2resize), to expand the file system. This is just one of two or three such tools that currently exists. 2) is there a way to extend the file system a) there is a utility called ext2extend (I think that's the name) thatallows a file system to be expanded or contracted. Note that it's beta (alpha?) but seems to work. See Freshmeat for the current rev 1.06. I seem to remember another, but cann't remember the name right now.

making boot disk on LS120 (with normal floppy) -warning its not as simple as it sounds!
I've recently added a second hard drive to my pc onto which I've installed RH6. On my pre-existing drive I have SUSE linux 5.1 which eventually I will trash. I booted to this from loadlin on my windoose partition. Suse (2.0.34) recognises my LS120 drive as hdc (not fd0) with some errors on boot but formats etc a normal floppy. RH6 (kernel 2.2.5) doesn't seem so happy with it. On installation it fell over at the make boot floppy bit (surprise surprise) as did suse since both were looking for fd0. This led me with a problem, how was I to boot to my new system? Suse did allow me during installation to set up loadlin (it didn't do it correctly but I solved that myself, RH seems less loadlin aware). The only way to get it to do was to boot with my old kernal image on my windows partiton. It boots OK. Having access to it I've tried to cp or dd or mkbootdsk to a normal floppy on dev/hdc. cp doesn't seem to work for some reason, almost like I haven't permission as root to do it. dd tried dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/hdc bs=1440k and a few variations on it in the bs line such as bs=8192 - any way the machine starts to decompress the kernel and then comes up with (err=1) cannot decompress kernel message. mkbootdsk 2.2.5 /dev/hdc 1440k doesn't work, the system copies stuff to the disk, but on boot the machine sails thru it completly! I did suceed in making an installation disk from the cd-rom using the dd method, so presumably I could make a rescue disk, but I don't see how this could help me. After a long spiel these are my questions. In the boot directory there a multiplicity of files vmlinuz, vmlinuz.2.2.5, 2.2.5BOOT etc which one is the right one to use for a boot disk and how do I do it? Why does the hdc drive come up with partition errors every time I use it (mkfs, mkbootdsk dd etc) and what is the kernel image called I need to copy to my loadlin directory which is what I want to do on a permanent basis? Could the fact that I'm booting via an older suse derived kernel give me my "cannot find dev/mouse" error (on startx and in var/log/messages) which means I cannot start X ( I copied my existing XF86Config file across)? There is one further puzzle on runing redev to try to determine the whereabouts of the kernel I was informed it was in /dev/sdc1. I as far as I now have no such device.

working ppp on 5.1, not on 6.0 (??)
EXTREME NEWBIE ALERT *sigh* Running RH 5.1 and everything was fine.. on a whim I decided to upgrade to 6.0. After making a few changes with fdisk I got 6.0 installed and running with gnome/enlightenment. I used the modem cofig tool to point out my modem and then used netcfg tool to set up ppp. This is where my problem started...under names I put in the hostname and the name of my isp, namesevers I put the isp addy, in the interfaces box I added ppp and input ph#, login and pass. I checked flow control, abort on well known errors, left line speed @ 115200, set defaultroute, restart on failed connection and mru of 1500. After saving this I tried to test the connection but it seems that the deck wasnt stacked in my favor. I hear the modem open the line, but it doesnt dial (this modem worked an hour ago under win95 and RH 5.1) and seems to lock up for a bit. Also, and this problem frustrates me a little more, one or more of the changes I made to netcfg seem to have locked me out of gnome. None of my panel buttons work and from xterm (which I had access to until I closed it) gives me errors from the netcfg file starting at line 24. I am guessing that I messed up something when I put in host and domain names, but that is a real uneducated guess (it just seems like I've lost permission for everything). One other tidbit of info.. I was in as root making changes.

What I am hoping for is that someone will see my error in the limited info above and tell me how to correct it or, if that is impossible I would like to know how to re-set the netcfg back to default values.

Re: How do I defragment a Linux drive?
Alan, I won't argue with you on ext2. You probably know that a lot better than me. OTOH, OS/2 Warp uses HPFS, which was also said (by Microsoft !-) to keep defragmentation low and shouldn't need any defragmentation. Experience showed, though, that defragging an HPFS partition *could* make a difference. Primarily on partitions with static (or almost static) data residing on them. Defraggers were made and they proved a performance gain. Not that you felt the difference in the keyboard, but for disk intensive apps it was measurable. Just a thought.

Re: working ppp on 5.1, not on 6.0 (??)
Dear T, I don't know whether this will help, but I've never bothered with any of the built in linux ppp connection ulities since I tried them but could never get them to work. I've used a small commandline program called eznet to connect. After compiling it (it comes as c code) and setting permissions (which is easy) its as simple as entering my username, phone number, a name to call the connection and password and pressing enter. You can set mru and lots of other options have multiple connections etc if you need to. Its command line driven but adding a menu for it in your favourite window manager is simple. It has clear instructions on its web page and can produce a troubleshootng log. Typing ping ip address of provider in term will tell you whether you are connected as well. NB. On my redhat 5.2 box eznet worked but I discovered I had no /etc/resolv.conf file RH hadn't installed it. Once I copied this over from my suse system it was fine. -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: working ppp on 5.1, not on 6.0 (??) Date: Wed, Jan 5, 2000, 4:11 pm EXTREME NEWBIE ALERT *sigh* Running RH 5.1 and everything was fine.. on a whim I decided to upgrade to 6.0. After making a few changes with fdisk I got 6.0 installed and running with gnome/enlightenment. I used the modem cofig tool to point out my modem and then used netcfg tool to set up ppp. This is where my problem started...under names I put in the hostname and the name of my isp, namesevers I put the isp addy, in the interfaces box I added ppp and input ph#, login and pass. I checked flow control, abort on well known errors, left line speed @ 115200, set defaultroute, restart on failed connection and mru of 1500. After saving this I tried to test the connection but it seems that the deck wasnt stacked in my favor. I hear the modem open the line, but it doesnt dial (this modem worked an hour ago under win95 and RH 5.1) and seems to lock up for a bit. Also, and this problem frustrates me a little more, one or more of the changes I made to netcfg seem to have locked me out of gnome. None of my panel buttons work and from xterm (which I had access to until I closed it) gives me errors from the netcfg file starting at line 24. I am guessing that I messed up something when I put in host and domain names, but that is a real uneducated guess (it just seems like I've lost permission for everything). One other tidbit of info.. I was in as root making changes. I was under the impression that I had to be to setup ppp. The above steps are from memory/notes, if you need more info I can try to recreate the errors and mail to the list. What I am hoping for is that someone will see my error in the limited info above and tell me how to correct it or, if that is impossible I would like to know how to re-set the netcfg back to default values.

Re: Setting up mail for virtual domain
Hi Scott, Since you just asked about virtual domains I'm going to assume that you have the real domain for your machine set up with a fully qualified, resolvable domain. 1) Go to /etc/sendmail.cw and add the virtual domain(s) in: * # sendmail.cw - include all aliases for your machine here. # domain1.com # domain2.com holiness.homeip.net christianfamilies.org edwards.brooklyn-park.mn.us * Check your sendmail.cf file and make sure the following lines exist and have the correct path to the domaintable and virtusertable files. Most installs for these two files on RedHat are /etc/mail/domaintable and /etc/mail/virtusertable. For whatever reason when I installed 5.2 these files didn't exist, so I put them in /etc. The exact location isn't as important as that the path shown below matches their actual location. If these lines don't exist then you'll need to find and modify your .mc file and create a new sendmail.cf file from it. It's not recommended that you simply hand enter these lines to sendmail.cf (Some modifications to sendmail.cf require other changes in the file that are automatically done by the .mc file when it creates the new sendmail.cf file. If you do these by hand you may break your sendmail configuration and shut down your mailer completely.). Lines preceded by "#" are comments and thus ignored. *** # Domain table (adding domains) Kdomaintable hash /etc/domaintable # Generics table (mapping outgoing addresses) #Kgenerics dbm /etc/genericstable # Virtual user table (maps incoming users) Kvirtuser hash /etc/virtusertable *** Once sendmail.cf and sendmail.cw are properly set up, SIGHUP sendmail. At least that's what the directions say, but I've never got it to work. Stop sendmail and restart it by whatever means works on your box. 2) Modify your domaintable by adding in the domain and the user it is assigned to (I try to keep simple instructions for this file and its cousins in these files. I don't do this often enough to memorize the steps, so I keep notes to help job my memory.): # Domain table (maps virtual domains) # makemap hash /etc/domaintable /etc/domaintable # Virtual Users are set up in /etc/virtusertable (maps incoming users) # Generics table is set up in /etc/genericstable (maps outgoing users) holiness.homeip.net glenlee christianfamilies.org glenlee edwards.brooklyn-park.mn.us glenlee Do the same with virtusertable: # Virtual User table (maps incoming email to specific user) # makemap hash /etc/virtusertable /etc/virtusertable # Domains are set up in /etc/domaintable # Generics are set up in /etc/genericstable (maps outgoing users) # Separate email address / user by a single tab # [EMAIL PROTECTED] glenlee1 # [EMAIL PROTECTED] glenlee [EMAIL PROTECTED] jan @holiness.homeip.netglenlee Then execute the commands: makemap hash /etc/virtusertable /etc/virtusertable makemap hash /etc/domaintable /etc/domaintable Use the correct paths in the above. If you're setup for dbm files (I'm not), I believe you have to use: makemap dbm /etc/virtusertable /etc/virtusertable BUT I don't know for sure. Consult http://www.sendmail.org for specifics. 3) You may need to modify /etc/aliases. If a user on your system has the virtual email address [EMAIL PROTECTED], but his username on your box is jackson, you'll need to modify /etc/aliases to read: ** # USER ALIASES jack: jackson ** If you don't incoming email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be rejected with a 551 "no such user" error message. The above directions only describe how to set up virtual domains on your box. You still need to have a resolvable real domain for outgoing email to work. If you're on a dedicated line then you should already have this installed. If you're dial-up like I am then you're going to have some trouble. There are filters that some systems are using that block dial-up Linux accounts that use their box as their MTA based in IP address of the dial-up machine. To fix this you can use IP masquerading, but doing so forces all outgoing mail from your box to read your real machine name, meaning that you can't show your return email address as that of your virtualdomain. All outgoing mail has the From: header changed by Sendmail to your real domain. Hope this helps. Glen -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

HPFS tried very hard to avoid fragmenting files. The file APIs took an optional parameter of file length, and used this to find a free space on disk with enough space for the file; if not enough was available, it looked for free fragments nearby each other to improve read performance. When this parameter was not provided by the application, the file system did its best. Since not all (in fact, very few) applications used this feature, HPFS was prone to fragmentation, just not as prone as FAT.

The h2n script creates the files in its working directory, and won't overwrite existing named config files -- that's my experience at least. I can recommend reading the comp.protocols.dns.bind newsgroup for some good hints and tips... Regards, Juha -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

RE: Two NICs? [Update][Solved!]
As they said in a movie I saw last night on HBO "Learn it, live it, love it". That applies to paying attention the hardware compatibility list and looking closely at the Rev on the cards... 3c905-TX Rev B is NOT compatible with Linux.

[Update] Ok, first I want to thank everyone for the help they've given me... I've learned a few things, been retaught a few things, and picked up at least two snazzy new tricks to help diagnose problems. To update: After much gnashing of teeth, I have diagnosed that there were at least three errors... unfortunately. The first, which was the original, all by itself, killer, was that somehow, the act of tightening the second nic down into the case caused it to unseat So, I could "prove" that the card was seated properly, button up the case, and it wasn't seated properly. I have fixed this. The second was a problem with the IRQs, as was mentioned. The first Nic was IRQ3, the second wanted to be 3 as well... this shouldn't be a problem, but some of the config/test tools said it was... I've moved the second nic to IRQ9. The last is the most perplexing, and is still unsolved, but I'm hoping I can fix it from here... now NEITHER nic will initialize during bootup, with both giving a "delaying initialization" message I'm going to go back and revisit some of the early suggestions to see if I can fix this. Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to work on it since Thursday, and with Y2K being next week, I'm going to be swamped for week or so...

Ok, folks, somehow I'm having a brain freeze. I'm having trouble getting two NICs working in a single box together. Here's the setup: RH5.2 (Stock, no new software out of the box) P133, 40MB 2 3COM 3C590-TX Fast Ethernet Cards Everything else is probably irrelevant hardware-wise. I'm trying to setup eth0 using DHCP as my main interface to the box (named Woodstock). The DHCP is working fine. On the other side, I'm trying to use eth1 with a fixed address (10.0.0.1) to a subnet (Woodstock) as Master (yes, if you are thinking Beowulf, you're right). During bootup, eth0 initializes properly and all is bright and gay. Then it's eth1's turn, but instead of booting, it says "Delaying initializing eth1". OK. So, I try ifcfg-eth1 up and get an error that the card doesn't exist. The file is in place, though, so at least Linux recognizes that the nic is THERE. I have NOT recompiled the kernel, so the fact that there are two identical cards has me thinking that perhaps my problem lies in not having an alias to load a second copy of the driver for the card... but can that be it?

[OT] DVD reading (was Re: Misc hardware questions
At 04:05 PM 1/5/00 -0700, Philippe Moutarlier wrote: May I ask : who has the write to read a DVD ? This is getting VERY confusing ! There's been a lot of press. I don't know the answer to your question, someone owns the rights to licence the DVD decryption technology and you would have to speak to them. I believe it's the old story that they want a lot of money and a NDA (i.e., you couldn't open your source). So here's my take on what happened: The (mostly US) entertainment industry is all bent out of shape about copyright violations (bootlegs) sold (mostly) outside the US and MP3's distributed on-line. They figure that if they were getting their usual cut of these products, they'd have millions more (i.e., that demand for these things would be inelastic even if the prices were much higher and thus that they are suffering tremendous opportunity costs--thefts in their view). So they reluctantly agreed on the DVD format because it was sold to them as having unbreakable encryption. This alleged unbreakable encryption was subject to at least two problems: First, it was possible (as is usually the case) for human error to leave a gaping back door. Second, to satisfy US munitions regulations regarding the export of decryption technology, fairly insecure 40-bit keys were involved. Ok, now the point is that you have to decrypt the DVD before you can view it. So any open source Linux viewer would violate the NDA required by the DVD folks to licence their decryption technology. Thus no one had made licensed Linux software for viewing DVD's because the licensing prevented you form opening your source. So maybe reason #1 above is unfair (what system is really secure against human failure?) but that's what happened. One of the legitimate licensees of the decryption technology failed to encrypt something. A group of Linux hackers discovered this and were able to infer not only that licensee's key but also a large number of the others (like 280 of 500). They published their open source software as DeCSS. (This point I'm unclear on: stories quote people in the know as saying that DVD rippers have been around for months... So I'm not sure what made DeCSS special? Maybe the rippers just ripped but did not decrypt?) Anyway, the people who thought that DVD was unbreakable apparently "reeled" when they found out that the unbreakable decryption had been compromised and that they could suffer lots more "theft". So they did a lot of things that the Linux community thought were dumb. Like sending threatening letters to websites that linked to websites that actually contained the DeCSS software. And suing a lot of people. I believe the DeCSS authors were all non-US citizens so it's not clear to me whether or how they are involved in the suits; but I thought they were. Meanwhile, I believe the US passed a law that makes it illegal to create mechanisms to bypass protections against copyright abuse. There are some exceptions and I think the law is not in force yet while some committee works out the details of those exceptions. But this law may be used now or later against any sort of Linux-based DVD viewer. We'll see what the future brings but I wouldn't bet on Linux DVD anytime soon (at least not in the US).

In certain programs (notably ftp [ftp-0.15-1] and ci [rcs-5.7-10]) on my RH 6.1 machine my backspace stops working as such: [amead@hera assess]$ ftp ftp.ipat.com Connected to conan.ipat.com. 220 conan.ipat.com FTP server (Version wu-2.5.0(1) Tue Jun 8 11:19:44 EDT 1999) ready.

Re: kernel rpms
i dont think redhat makes development kernel rpms as they are, well, development kernels and people might see a rev level higher than they currently have, install them, and then cause negative press for redhat. not to mention the fact that userland utils (initscripts for one) need to be upgraded to accomadate the new kernel functionality. -adam On Wed, 5 Jan 2000, jack wallen jr wrote: anyone know of a location to get an rpm of the 2.3 kernel?

Re: Getting a copy of RedHat 4.2 / InterBase open-source release

wireless lan pcmcia
I'm looking for a wireless LAN pcmcia card that: 1) Has good integration in Linux (i.e. not too hard for me to install, I have enough problems in my life already) 2) Is cheap, like not thousands of dollars. I think my spending limit is $300 per card. 3) Works in the US 4) Isn't bulky -- like it plugs straight into the PCMCIA slot, and not much more. Those silly antennae are okay if they're not more than a couple of inches large. 5) Doesn't need an NT server at the server end. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

disaster -- messed up xconfig file -- blank screen now
Here's what I tried to do. Being an avid reader of this list-group, I took the advice of some source to change my display to "1024x768" by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand and changing the mode subsection of the "Screen" section to that number... well, it didn't work. On top of that. My system automatically boots up X at start. So now, whenever I go into Linux... black screen. Heeelp! -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Re: disaster -- messed up xconfig file -- blank screen now
If you have a Linux boot disk, use that. Otherwise, you could try telnetting into your machine across the network. Remember that you can use su -l to change from a regular user to root. Once you're in, edit /etc/inittab to start runlevel 3 by default. Look for something like id:5:initdefault and change the 5 to a 3. Then you should be able to restart and see a shell login again. Next, you can probably just run Xconfigurator from the console as root - it will walk you through the setup, and will probably probe your video card, ram and mouse without any work on your part. That's probably the easiest thing to do. -Jeff Daniel Goldin wrote: Here's what I tried to do.

IP Masquerading with modem and DIALD
I'm semi-new to Linux and I have been trying to setup my Linux box to do IP masquerading for my home network. Read quite a few howtos over the last few days. The two machines that I currently have configured can ping each other. The client box can see both the ethernet card and the statically assigned ip address given to me by my ISP. I am running RedHat 6.0 with ipchains-1.3.9-3 and have built my modules as specified in the HOWTOs. There doesn't seem to be an ip_masq.o file anywhere on my box. Don't know if that is normal but it doesn't look it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. When I do a depmod -a I get the following messages: /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_cuseeme.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_vdolive.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_quake.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_raudio.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_irc.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_ftp.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_user.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_mfw.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_portfw.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/ipv4/ip_masq_autofw.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/ip_masq_portfw.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/ip_masq_mfw.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.2.7/misc/ip_masq_autofw.o: unresolved symbol(s) My kernel config is: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_M686=y CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y CONFIG_X86_TSC=y CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y CONFIG_MTRR=y CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y CONFIG_KMOD=y CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_PCI_GOANY=y CONFIG_PCI_BIOS=y CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS=y CONFIG_PCI_OLD_PROC=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_NETLINK=y CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV=y CONFIG_FIREWALL=y # Added 01/05/2000 --- MEW CONFIG_NET_ALIAS=y CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_VERBOSE=y CONFIG_IP_ACCT=y # End --- MEW CONFIG_FILTER=y CONFIG_UNIX=y CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_NETLINK=y CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV=y CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG=y # CONFIG_IP_TRANSPARENT_PROXY is not set CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP=y CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MOD=y # CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPAUTOFW is not set CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPPORTFW=y # CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MFW is not set CONFIG_IP_ROUTER=y # CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPGRE is not set # CONFIG_IP_MROUTE is not set # Set IP_ALIAS to yes 01/05/2000 --- MEW CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y # CONFIG_INET_RARP is not set CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y CONFIG_SCSI_PPA=m CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_DUMMY=y CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM=y CONFIG_VORTEX=m CONFIG_NET_EISA=y CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO100=y CONFIG_PPP=y CONFIG_SLIP=y CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED=y CONFIG_SLIP_SMART=y CONFIG_VT=y CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL=y CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y CONFIG_UNIX98_PTY_COUNT=256 CONFIG_PRINTER=m CONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK=y CONFIG_MOUSE=y CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y CONFIG_QIC02_TAPE=m CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=y CONFIG_FAT_FS=y CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y CONFIG_JOLIET=y CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y CONFIG_PROC_FS=y CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y CONFIG_SMB_FS=y CONFIG_NLS=y CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437=y CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1=y CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y -- Mary-Jo E.
