net interface information?
One (little?) question.
With nice `ip' utility, how one can obtain machine's
interface information programmatically? On old good
days, I used
SIOCGIFCONF ioctl to get an array of `struct ifreq'
elements with iface name and addresse, and
SIOCGIFNETMASK to obtain other *interface* info
(e.g. netmask) *by name*.
Now, we have two beasts: *interface* is a real one
(no virtual), and it can have more than one address
and thus more than one netmask/broadcast/flags. Is
there any way to get a complete configuration (read:
list of ip addresses with netmasks) of an interface
configured as:
ip dev set lo up
ip addr add 127.0.0.1/16 dev lo
ip addr add 127.1.0.1/24 dev lo
(just an example, but shows that I'm lasy to assign
different labels for each address).
SIOCGIFCONF gives me list
lo 127.0.0.1
lo 127.1.0.1
and SIOCGIFNETMASK("lo") returns 255.255.0.0.
But how I can obtain netmask (255.255.255.0 in this
case) and others for second address (127.1.0.1)???
There is a NETLINK socket interface available, and
there are example of using it (`ip' utility source),
but is there any other (more "traditional") way?
And e.g. on my home machine `ip' utility gives
me "Connection refused" error on attempt to use
it (probably I forgot to include some kernel option
when compiled my kernel - not a question but again
an example), so NETLINK method is NOT "universal"
way of obtaining that info (I'm not about older
kernels that just have no support for NETLINK,
but about current 2.2 kernel - SIOCGIFNETMASK will
work if IP support is compiled in, but NETLINK
may not work).
Thank you!
Regards,
Michael.

Re: PPP authentication And userid display
Hi Mikkel, I tried radlogin (configured radius server no different machine..)but it was not successful. And in pppd with mgetty is at the same stage. [snip] It has been a while sence I had this set up - on a RH5.2 machine. Let me see if I can re-construct this... Do you want to automaticly open a PPP connection when the client connects and sends a LCP configure request, with a fallback to username/password? Or do you want to require that they log in using username/password, and then have the PPP connection made? This makes a BIG difference on how you set up the mgetty login.config file. The procedure that I am connecting is automatically open a PPP with a fallback to username/password. It is working as far as concerning authentication But My problem is not authentication. The display when I type "who". I want to get the userids (login names) when I type the command who. By default mgetty is checking for AutoPPP, I want recompile mgetty with NOAUTOPPP option, and follow your second option.

Your best bet is to go get a generic IDE CDROM and a generic IDE hard drive controller (since your computer appears to only have support for a single IDE channel.) Although this procedure brings up some "problems" of it's own, at least you are pretty much guaranteed to be able to get the CDROM working!

I sometimes only have to do it on one box, but usually both. I'd be very grateful for some clues. Robert Baines One thing I can think of off hand is the fact that you are using a crossover cable, instead of a hub. Depending on the card, a lot of times it will have problems selecting the mode to run in when you do not have an active card on the other end. Some drivers will manage to sort things out if you give them time, but others will end up in a strange state that is corrected by pringing the interface down, and back up again. Thanks but that doesn't seem to be the problem. The cards are fine, the diagnostics say they are up and running, the 100Mb lights are on, I can see arp packets saying "who-has x please tell y". The problem is neither machine can find the other. The wierd thing is that before and after I run the network restart command the routing tables are *exactly* the same. As you would expect, but the behaviour is as though some routing information has changed. try setting the ONBOOT to no on the machine you will be bringing up first. I tried that anyway and it seemed to make things worse. There was no luck after ifup-eth0 so I put things back as they were.

Kiran: I had this same problem about a year or so ago with a version of ppp. But my answer or the answer that was given to me was to upgrade the ppp package. I did that and it worked. I currently have a networked (RH 6.2) server on a school locally to me that wanted one dialup modem and I ran into the same problem. This time I tried something a little less radical than rebuilding ppp, that being using the touch command to update the time stamp on the /var/log/wtmp file. So as root type touch /var/log/wtmp and see if the next login shows up with a user name. If that fails grab a tar ball of you existing or updated ppp package and build it and that should definitely work. If you have any more problems just throw me an e-mail.

How are you trying to "access" the modem under X? With the modem and ppp0 working from the command line, you problem is probably the software you are using is not configured to use the correct device, or you are missing a symlink. It would be unusual it it was a conflict with the video card. If you want to check for this type of conflict, you could always start X, and then change to another console, and see if you can still use the modem. If you are logged in to VC 1, and start X, you can change to VC 2 by hitting Alt-Ctrl-F2. From there, you can log in, and play with the modem, or bring up ppp0. If the modem still works, you can be fairly sure it is not a conflict with the video card. To get back to X, hit Alt-F7. After you have confirmed that it is not the video card, see what port ppp is using to talk to the modem. The configure the software you are using in X to use the same port.

Re: passwd and smbpasswd
Hi Steve! Does anyone know of a script or program that you can change one passwd and have it update both the passwd file for Unix and smbpasswd? Webmin will do that, but regular user's won't be able to use webmin as it is an administrator tool. But if you look at freshmeat.net you'll find a couple of CGI scripts that will do that. Sorry I can't remember the name of a particular one. As another option you can (1) do not use encryption on smb.conf so samba uses the Unix password, or (2) use pam_smb or other similar PAM module so Unix utilities use the smb password.

FISHER: ?'s: DNS, Laptop, kernel
Greetings. I finally was able to get around to installing Fisher, only to find there was a new beta. I installed it on a laptop as a test and have a few questions/observations (many reported as bugs to RedHat). System info:Toshiba Tecra T8000 PII/366, 128M RAM, internal modem, CD-ROM, external floppy, 10G HD 1024x768 SVGA with Neomagic chipset, 2M 10-T and 100-T PCMCIA NICs (4 different 3COM) 1) Should I upgrade to the later beta? 2) Can I upgrade or do I have to reload the computer (i.e., is the Fisher to Woverine upgrade operational)? It's a test hard disk so it's not too much trouble if I have to reload. 3) I cannot get DNS to work. I have the EXACT same configuration as a couple of other computers on the same net, RH 6.2 and 7.0. They can resolve but nslookup, dig, host fail. A ping by IP works. 4) The setup is on a Toshiba T8000 laptop with 1024x768 and using Neomagic chipset. X got setup with a limited freq. on for horiz and vert -- hence startx only gave me 800x600. I had to run Xconfigurator and tell it the monitor was 1024x768 at 60 Hz -- all is OK now. 5) Kernel PCMCIA did not work at all. /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia did not start cardmgr. I had to build 2.4.2 from tarball, reboot, then manually start cardmgr. PCMCIA now works and I have networking Since there is a Toshiba laptop option, I think I may be stuck with a custom kernel as a final product anyway 6) 7.1 appears to have removed? inetd?

Here's a good question: Has anyone experienced a problem (or have a solution) connecting to the AIM (AOL Instant Messager) service or a problem getting any data from the server after establishing a connection, while running kernel 2.4? I have the problem described above, but until I used 2.4.1 a week or two ago, I figured it went along with my other network problems with kernel 2.4. Starting with 2.4.1, I was able to communicate with hosts that I wasn't able to with 2.4.0-test or release. I don't have problems with 2.2.x (so that's what I'm using), but 2.4.0 gave me network troubles which I couldn't ignore. I tried 2.4.1 and found things to much better (at least to the point which I ventured off to), except for the AIM issue which I have seen since the 2.4.0-test kernels or there abouts (I don't do the development branches). I use gaim, but I have also used Tac (not the utility which comes with the RH distro) which doesn't get far either. Eventually Tac exits saying the connection closed.

The b is for block device, not busy. Changing permissions on /dev/hdd will not have any thing to do with accessing the mount point they are mounted on. It does have an affect on accessing the raw device. IE - if you do not have write permission on /dev/st0, you can not write to that SCSI tape drive. Normaly permissions on a mounted file system are controlled by the options of the mount command.

If that fails grab a tar ball of you existing or updated ppp package and build it and that should definitely work. If you have any more problems just throw me an e-mail.

I am not sure exactly what you are telling me kere. Lets take things in easy steps... From the command line, you can start a PPP connection, and everything is fine, right? What happens if you start X, and then try and access the Internet over the ppp connection? (Not running kppp, because the connection is already up...) Can you still use the ppp link? Second test. PPP connection is not up. Modem is still working. You start X, and run kppp. What does kppp report? Third test. After you have started ppp using wvdial, started X, run kppp, and lost the ppp connection, try using "ifdown ppp0" or just kill and not kill -9 to bring down the dead ppp connection so that you give pppd a chance to clean up after itself. Otherwise, you can end up with stale lock files that have to be removed before you can access the modem again.

I might be interested in putting in an ATA100 drive, but I'm not positive how those other two connectors work... -Michael I'm not really familiar with that board, but in general the first two ide controllers are slower (and are the ones most likely to work out of the box). Try putting your hard drive at hda, the CD at hdc and the ZIP at hdd. Add new funky high spped drives to the second two ide controllers (usually based on either the Promise or HighPoint chipsets) after you get drivers for them (these drivers are not provided in Red Hat 7.0, but do exist in the 2.4 kernel) If you are a sadist, you can do your install to an ATA100 drive connected to hda, upgrade the kernel, create an initial ramdisk with the needed driver, re-run lilo, move the drive to the ATA100 controller, cross you fingers and reboot.

The timeout for TCP keep-alives messages can be found in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time To disable it for telnet, see man telnetd: -n Disable TCP keep-alives. Normally telnetd enables the TCP keep-alive mechanism to probe connections that have been idle for some period of time to determine if the client is still there, so that idle connections from machines that have crashed or can no longer be reached may be cleaned up.

RE: PPP authentication And userid display
Kiran: Yes, it is clear as can be. I went through the same problem long ago and I thought it was mgetty as I was using mgetty to spawn my modems. I worked with mgetty for 1 or 2 days to no avail till I posted it to this list long ago and someone told me at that time to download the tarball ppp package of an updated version and rebuild it as they had a similar problem. At that time it was 2.2.8. I did download it and built it and on my next login from some user the a_ppp was gone and now all I saw was user names. I too could look back on the wtmp file and see the logins but for some reason ppp the "w" or "who" command was not pulling from the wtmp file. I am not sure of the exact reason but I know it worked and it was simple. Now as I said recently I had the same problem with the stock ppp that comes with RH 6.2, (I believe it is ppp-2.2.12) and all I had to do here was time stamp the wtmp file with "touch" to allow a who to display the user name. You scenario is exactly what I went through and I don't believe mgetty is your answer as I rebuilt mgetty at that time but no results came from it.
