Re: FTP connecting slow
Two guesses: 1. A DNS lookup problem. When your boxes are plugged into the hub, DNS lookups can be performed through your ISP, which I assume is hooked up to your hub. 2.

Re: Gnome messed up writing to cds!
In gnome there is an app that runs, which auto-plays CDs. Try it: just put in a CD and see if it starts by itself. If it does, then that's your problem - turn it off.

CDRW Track Titles Incorrect
Last weekend, I was trying to put together an audio CD with cdda2wav and cdrecord. When I finished, the copy sounded good, but the CD player app incorrectly reported the name of the album and track. It reports the track names correctly when the original CD is used, though. >From this I assume that the ISRC number is not getting read or written correctly. Is there a web site, where I can look up a particular ISRC number? That would tell me whether it was the read or the write that was messing up. Note: I did use the -useinfo option on cdrecord so that it would use the .inf files created by cdda2wav. Any other hints or suggestions would be welcome.

Re: Network
If you aren't using some sort of dialing software (like PPPOE), then I think you have the wrong gateway address, the wrong IP address (for your PC), or the wrong network mask. Verifying that these are correct (by calling the ISP), couldn't hurt. If you are using PPPOE or some similar "dialing" software, then I'd put my bets on that. Since I don't use PPPOE, someone else would have to chime in. Also, you might want to check out www.deja.com/usenet to see if you can come up with Ready for a long shot? Try changing your netmask to 255.255.248.0 It seems that windoze forwards to a gateway even when it isn't in the IP/subnet for the given interface. I was looking at this article ICYWW (in case you were wondering): http://x74.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=599734408&search=thread&CONTEXT=961100184.1883570176&HIT_CONTEXT=961100081.1882587142&HIT_NUM=17&hitnum=3 If that doesn't work, email me your IP address, netmask, and gateway IP address and I'll see what I can do.

Re: Network???
Okie Dokie! You have the DSL and your LAN hooked into the same hub? -- that's bad security, but I bet you just want to get things working for now. I'll throw in my 2 bits and say that you should not hook the internet directly to your LAN. You'll be broken into in no time that way. You should run the DSL into the Linux box and use ipchains and IP masquerading to firewall it away from the LAN. But since you're going to do it anyway, read on. First of all you need a default route, and to do that you will need the IP address of your ISP's router(gateway). Since your Windoze box sees the net okay, get the info from it. Here's an example of how to use the route command to add a default gateway. You could go into linuxconf and do it, but do it my way -- it'll grow hair on your chest :) Well, okay linuxconf will make the default route permanent, so once you have it working use linuxconf. route add default gw 216.233.X.1 ^^^ This is the IP address of your ISP's router/gateway. You may have trouble if you only have one IP address from your ISP. If you set both the windoze box and the Linux box to the same IP address, you will have problems. The ISP's gateway may watch Mac addresses and only allow one (if you only paid for one). The IP address that isn't yours is the broadcast address formed by doing certain bitwise operations on your IP address. I won't go into that anymore. You don't need to worry about it at this point. > Good Morning again, > > I was asked some question about the way my network was set up.

Installation CD with Updated RPMS
What I want is a single install CD with the most up-to-date RPMs. I created a CD-ROM of the Red Hat installation disk with updated RPMS from an "updates" mirror site. Unfortunately the install program apparently checks version numbers of the RPMS. It fails as soon as it reaches an updated RPM -- it gives me some sort of Python error. This happened with two different burns of the CD, so it probably wasn't a bad CD. My question: Is there a way to tell the installer to use the updated RPMS or do I have to live with a two-CD method for installing/re-installing my system? I can live with that, but a one-CD install seems more elegant to me. In a somewhat related issue, I was unable to make the CD bootable even though I specified the El Torito filesystem and a boot.img file. This is not that important, because I can just use a boot floppy *and* a CD, but I have been wondering if I missed anything.

Re: killing processes
Do the "killed" processes show up on 'ps' as zombies (with a Z)? If so then they may be there because their parent process is still (erroneously) waiting for them to complete. Try using adding the -f option to ps. This will show the parent-child relationships of your processes. If this is the case, then kill the parent process. Another thought that comes to mind: is your kill command aliased in some way that prevents the -9 argument from being recognized? Try the alias command. -- Bob Glover -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

486/66 as a Firewall
I have a 486/66 that I want to use as a firewall for a cable-modem.

Is there such a thing as a 100MB ISA ethernet card (cheap)? If I used two 10MB cards, I would have to have an additional gateway box just to connect the 10MB and 100MB segments, wouldn't I? 2. I know know the 100 MB card will be limited by the throughput of the other 10MB card, but... Will the 486 choke my internet throughput below 10MB? Can it handle 10MB in + 10MB out on an ISA bus?

Personally I'd > prefer to pay my IT staff or trusted contractor to set it up... ipchains is not a stateful inspection firewall. That means that the decisions it makes on what to do with a packet are based only upon the data in that particular packet. It does not consider whether the packet is part of an ongoing connection or not. If you have tried to lock down your box with ipchains, then you know that you must leave all TCP ports > 1024 open for HTTP replies (for example). In a stateful inspection firewall, you could close off your TCP ports > 1024. When an HTTP request went outbound, the firewall would then expect an HTTP response and allow it. Example: localbox:1055 --> 1.2.3.4:80 The firewall sees this and for some period of seconds or until the connection is closed will allow incomming packets on port 1055 only from IP address 1.2.3.4 Whether this extra security is worth it or not, is up to you.

It takes outbound packets from the masqueraded boxes inside your firewall and re-writes the packet headers so they all look like they came from the firewall itself and then sends them to the outside world. To properly sort out the returning packets, a table is made of which packet went out on which port (netstat -m). That way when the reply comes back, a simple lookup tells which of your Linux boxen to send the reply to. IP masquerading does use high port numbers to connect to the outside world. This does break certain things like FTP, ICQ, IRC, etc. which embed the origin IP within the packet. For these problems there are loadable kernel modules such as ip_masq_ftp, ip_masq_irc, etc. (IIRC). These reach into the packet where the ip is embedded and change them too.

Re: CDRW and kernel detection
That's exactly what mine does too: same kernel, but a CDRW instead. On the bright side, it does burn CD's though. I would like to know why it's doing this and if there's a way to stop it other than sending kernel logging to a file and ignoring it. IIRC, one thing I did notice is that when I use insmod to force the kernel to keep sr_mod loaded, that after 30 minutes or so the kernel reports 0 SCSI devices and then I can no longer access the CDRW as a CDROM.

I had a little trouble understanding your post. Do you mean that you can't connect to the internet from Linux, so you do it in Windows and put the file on a floppy. Then you boot to Linux and copy the file from the floppy? And now you have a file (Glide_SDK-2.2-11.i386.rpm) that's too big for a single floppy? And you meant 3.8 megabytes (not 3.8 K) right? If I understand this correctly and you are dual-booting, then mount the Windows parition from within Linux and copy the file directly. Just type: mount -t vfat /dev/hda /mnt/windoze ls /mnt/windoze That lets you copy the file directly from the Windows parition. Make sure you create the (empty) directory /mnt/windows first. Also replace 'hda' with the device of your windows hard drive. I also assumed that you are using Windows 95 (the vfat part).

Your ISP probably assigns IP addresses (permanently or dynamically) with this.

And a final parting remark, IMO you should DENY any packets that have no business being sent to you in the first place. This makes those packets "fall off the edge of the Earth" from the attacker's point of view. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Re: Semi-OT: Caching DNS server oddities
I probably won't solve your problem, but I'll take a half-baked stab at it anyway. My guess is that someone has a nameserver setup wrong somewhere or there is an update that hasn't completely propogated yet. If it's the latter it will go away on it's own. If not try these resources: Try the newsgroup comp.os.linux.networking Also try the web site http://www.deja.com and search their newsgroup archives. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Wine
Hi, I was wondering how Wine is doing these days. I tried it about a year ago (hiccup :), but was under-impressed with it. I may have been using it wrong though -- I tried to install software on it, but it didn't work. Was I supposed to have an existing Windoze vfat drive to mount or something? My box is Windows-Free, and loving it! Also, what are some good Wine mailing lists or web sites. Thanks -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Re: squid ACL ?
I didn't see anyone explain this (I may have missed it though) so I'll attempt to explain it myself for you. IIRC the components of an acl declaration are OR'ed and the components of an http_access declaration are AND'ed ( I hope I don't have these backward! ) So, if I may alter your configuration as an example: > acl acl1 src claudiu.altex.ro caesar.altex.ro This acl would be satisfied if access was from host caludiu OR caesar. Notice how I didn't say that it grants access. It doesn't. It is simply giving a name to a certain kind of condition. Here is some pseudo-code, that might clarify things: IF access is from claudiu.altext.ro OR caesar.altext.ro THEN LET acl1 = TRUE > http_access allow acl1 acl2 ^ This will "allow" access if acl1 AND acl2 are true. If either acl1 or acl2 are false, then this statement is skipped (access is neither granted nor denied), instead processing will continue with the next http_access statement. > http_access deny all And for this one, think of the all keyword as TRUE. A pretty good mailing list for squid is the squid mailing list. Imagine that!

Re: IPNAT
I think you need to look at a few things: 0. ipchains doesn't allow connections from the outside. It probably isn't what you need. 1. IP Aliasing where you allow a single physical network card to have multiple IP addresses. 2. ProxyARP...on second thought that's not what you want. This makes a box appear as though is is attached to a subnet, when in fact it is not. 3. Port forwarding (I don't use it, so I'm real iffy on this one). As I understand it, you can forward to a port (the same port) on another box. This would satisfy the NAT requirement you mentioned. > On Thu, 13 Jan 2000, Michael Gatti said: > > MG>Hi Everyone > MG> > MG>Does anyone know if there is an IPNAT for RedHat Linux 6.1 and > if > MG>there is were can I find it? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
