Hi All,
|
|
|
|
I've recently installed 'wu-ftpd 2.4(3)' on a 486/33 8MB
|
|
running linux-1.1.39.
|
|
I want to use this PC as a ftp-server and therefore the ftpd must
|
|
be able to manage more than one ftp-session at once :)
|
|
From another machine I opened 2 ftp-sessions simultanously and
|
|
did a 'mget *' (11MB) in both sessions. The first session did it fine,
|
|
but the second session stopped the transfer after a while with:
|
|
|
|
'421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
|
|
No control connection for command: no such file or directory '
|
|
|
|
Obviously, this is not the way a ftp-server should work :(
|
|
|
|
Any hints ?
|
|
|
|
thanx,
|
|
alen

|
|
|
|
I have the same problem and tried to fix it because the "talk" I got didn"t
|
|
work. I got the sourcecode from talk and compiled it. It compiled exactly the
|
|
same program I had.
|
|
|
|
I added additional debugging code and found out that the following occures:
|
|
When I start talk with another machine (it's a SUN) there will be some
|
|
information exchanged. There is a special data-structure in talkd.h where
|
|
this header is defined. In talkd.h there is a loop that reads data coming
|
|
from the socket and it does this till thenumber of read bytes equals the size
|
|
of the header. But the SUN I tried to talk allways sent 8 bytes too less.
|
|
So my talk waited forever ..... and I allways saw the nice message
|
|
"checking for invitation on callers machine" because talk didn't got enough
|
|
bytes ...
|
|
|
|
I stopped looking where the problem lies because it was too frustrating,
|
|
since I couldn't change the talk-deamon on the SUN.
|
|
|
|
Can anyone imagine where the problem is. I know my posting is a little bit
|
|
vague but I can look for the sourcecode I used if anyone wants to have a look
|
|
at this problem.

Well, if you are really into the doom, you can clone your startx (you aren't
|
|
using xdm, are you?) and modify it to startdoom, which calls xinit and starts
|
|
only one client (namely doom); pretty much like what you'd do to get exact
|
|
benchmark score for your Xserver. BTW, rxvt is much smaller than xterm.
|
|
of course, the real solution is to get more memory; 24meg system really
|
|
rocks, but...

Subject: Routing A<-slip->B<-ether->C
|
|
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 1994 21:40:14 GMT
|
|
|
|
We have 3 linux computers here: A & B are connected via SLIP, B & C are
|
|
connected via ethernet. Ping, telnet, etc work fine between A & B, and
|
|
between B & C, but not even ping works between A & C. I presume this is
|
|
because the routing is setup wrong. I have made an effort to read about
|
|
the subject, and to do some trial and error fooling around, but have had
|
|
no success. Now's the time to ask all you folks for help! First, a few
|
|
questions:
|
|
|
|
1) I've assigned 2 IP numbers to B - one for SLIP and one for the
|
|
ethercard. Is this the correct thing to do?
|
|
2) Are the two halves - SLIP & ethernet - considered to be two separate
|
|
networks, subnets of one network, or one network? In other words,
|
|
do I need a subnetting setup?
|
|
3) Do all 3 machines need a different routing table (not counting the
|
|
different IP numbers, of course)? Or would A's and C's be more or less
|
|
identical?
|
|
3) I'm running 1.1.50, and do NOT have 'IP forwarding/gatewaying' enabled.
|
|
Is this required in my case? If yes, does only B need it?
|
|
4) Is B considered to be a 'gateway' to C from A (& vice versa), or is
|
|
A through B to C considered to be a 'direct' route?
|
|
|
|
Even with answers to the above, I'm not confident I could get things going
|
|
on my own. I would be very grateful if someone posted an example routing
|
|
configuration that would hook up all 3 computers...
|
|
|
|
Thanks very much.

check to make sure that the Fig file in the

If there is an include "Fig" on line four, then comment it out

Hi,

YES ! Just do liloconfig, and start with a new header, set up Linux
|
|
as the 1st OS to boot into, and choose the delay presented to you.

I'm very pleased with my local-bus video card while working under DOS/Windows.
|
|
However, I cannot get X-windows to work with it. ConfigXF86 suggests using
|
|
the Trident 8900 support, but that doesn't work either. The screen clears,
|
|
shows the normal X screen, clears blue for fvwm, and I get a cursor. There
|
|
are random sprinkled dots around it, which are left behind while moving the
|
|
mouse. If I move it to the top of the screen or start an application and
|
|
place the window, the system will lock solid. If I do nothing, it will lock
|
|
up after a couple of minutes.
|
|
|
|
My older Trident 8900CL card works just fine, but is unbearably slow in DOS.
|
|
Is there an updated driver for my particular type of card? Is it a problem
|
|
related to my Xconfig instead? Pointers and suggestions welcomed..

After I installed the mid-July version of Slackware, I noticed a very

I guess what I am saying is that you should try upgrading to 1.1.45

and then recompile the 2.1.8 source.

I just installed the Fall 94 release using a PAS16 and a 3xi. I had lockup
|
|
problems and had to physically turn off the machine (cycle the power to the
|
|
PAS card I guess) because the card was not recognized under DOS if I did
|
|
a hardware reset. What it *seems* is happening is that the autoprobe is
|
|
guessing at the interupt for the scsi portion of the card and getting it
|
|
wrong. I overcame this by issuing the boot image:
|
|
|
|
linux pas16=0x388,12
|
|
this includes the base address and irq
|
|
|
|
It was much happier with this interupt and is working great now. Check
|
|
the PAS16 HOWTO for more info. Thats where I came up with this. BTW, you
|
|
may have to experiment with IRQ. I verified the base address by watching
|
|
verbose output of the Trantor startup but it does not list the interupt.

I am trying to provide my users with a message when they try to
|
|
ftp. Especially when they log in and also when the CWD command
|
|
is issued.
|
|
|
|
Can someone tell me where these message files are stored ?
|
|
I looked in the spool directories but was unable to find any.

For myself and at least one other person, the fix was to upgrade to
|
|
kernel 1.1.50. It's in the Incoming directory on sunsite. In my case,
|
|
since my slip server itself uses a Cisco for it's default route, I also had
|
|
to answer no to "Assume subnets are local".

I am running it on a 386/33 on a 800x600 display and I didn't find
|
|
it to be "unplayable". Maybe if you are *used* to the higher framerates
|
|
it would be a step down. But going from not playing it at all I am happy
|

to have it out...

If you use slackware distribution, you'll have sample.dip in /etc

Subject: linux+slip+bootp. How?
|
|
Date: 15 Sep 1994 11:57:56 GMT
|
|
|
|
Iam trying to use bootpc on my linux box to get an valid ip over SLIP and I am
|
|
running into some problems. First of all the ioctl SIOCGIFADDR fails to get
|
|
hardware address obviously because its a slip connection I am trying to
|
|
make. I tried commenting out the ioctl and tried again and now I get my ip
|
|
as 127.0.0.1.
|
|
My questions are
|
|
(1) Does the bootp client on linux work with slip connections?
|
|
(2) Is there any RFC that deals with slip and bootp?
|
|
(3) Has anybody successfully used bootpc over SLIP connections?
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your help
