IT IS ALL MY FAULT - DON'T BLAME LINUX!
|
|
|
|
Confessions of Network Administator:
|
|
|
|
I did 3 things wrong that caused all my problems with PPP and IP Forwarding:
|
|
|
|
1. DNS/BIND mismatch between my primary server, and my providers server
|
|
My Internet Provider runs a secondary name server for my domain, and I
|
|
made changes to my primary DNS tables (including re-assigning the IP of my DOS
|
|
box)... BUT I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DNS TABLES. The serial
|
|
number is how secondary servers determine that DNS needs to update... So the
|
|
two servers had different IP addresses for the same host name... OOOPPPS!
|
|
|
|
2. DOS TCPIP Routing MisConfiguration
|
|
Netmanage Chameleon has two separate configurations for routing... the
|
|
Default Route, and a Routing Table... I had set up an entry in the routing
|
|
table for my Net Provider that pointed to a router that was available on the
|
|
old network that I was connected to.. and that entry over-rode the Default
|
|
Route that pointed to the correct router (took me 4 days to find that one)
|
|
|
|
3. Gratituously updating Linux versions
|
|
My initial response to this problem was to blame Linux 1.0 and to
|
|
attempt to install a later rev of the system (1.1.49 to be exact). This
|
|
ofcourse created all sorts of additional problems requiring the installation of
|
|
updated applications and utilities, which I thouroughly botched in my haste to
|
|
get the system working as a router.... Since I found the other problems, and
|
|
did a complete re-install of 1.0.... everything has worked fine...
|
|
|
|
Advice to the Wannabe Network Administrator:
|
|
|
|
Erasing and application and doing a clean install may not be a bad
|
|
idea. All of the configuration may look right.. but some leftover trash may be
|
|
spoiling your whole day.
|
|
|
|
Request to the Linux Developers:
|
|
|
|
I had a *ell of a time figuring out what patches and utilities went
|
|
together to make a fully updated version of the system... Grouping the Patch
|
|
files with the utilities required to accomodate the update would really help.
|
|
|
|
Other than that... KUDOS TO YOU ALL... Linux is the best system I've
|
|
worked with since I started working with MicroPort and Venix 6 years ago.. It
|
|
certainly beats even the latest release of UnixWare in terms of ease of
|
|
installation and loads of applications and utilities right outa the box...
|
|
|
|
Before I shoot myself in the foot again.....

|
The AC3200 driver is for the Ansel Communications EISA ethercard based on a
|
|
shared memory 8390.
|
|
|
|
It's unrelated to the NE3200, which will probably never have a Linux driver.
|
|
|
|
Both are unrelated to the Intel EtherExpress32. I don't have any
|
|
documentation on the EE32 (or an EISA machine to develop a driver on), but
|
|
Intel might release it if you ask them.

Subject: Howto duplicate boot floppy?
|
|
Date: 24 Sep 1994 09:36:14 GMT
|
|
|
|
How to duplicate more boot floppy from one existing floppy?
|
|
I'm facing some serious trouble when installing linux on a Pentium
|
|
with 1G HD; linux is within the first 300meg, so I don't think the
|
|
1024 cylinder problem should affect me. But the new installation
|
|
refused to boot ("partition table error"); the floppy created during
|
|
the installation refused to boot too. The only thing got the system
|
|
going was a floppy from a previous installation on a 486. Now since
|
|
that disk was reated only for backup purpose, I'd prefer to make a
|
|
seperate one for booting the Pentium box. Any thoughts on how to
|
|
copy a floppy containing kernel image?
|
|
|
|
Thanks; please cc:jsun@mit.edu in your response

That's true, but it's better than what has been described here as the

|
|
|
|
Hmm ... I'm not up on sizes for modem buffers (I was trapped in a hardware
|
|
design project for a long time and only recently surfaced for air. :) ),
|
|
but a 24x80 line screen is about 2k ... just how large a buffer are we talking
|
|
about, anyway? If it is on the order of kbytes, then there is another solution.
|
|
99 times out of a 100, a user is using either vt100/ansi emulation. I'm
|
|
not entirely sure, because this isn't really my field, but I believe there
|
|
is at least on vt100 code that will cause the user's terminal to respond
|
|
with some sort of transmission [I think this is how automatic detection is
|
|
possible, correct me if that's wrong, please.]. You could send your banner,
|
|
immediately followed by such a code, and calculate the time elapsed between
|
|
when you began sending the banner and when you got the response. This would
|
|
give you a decent estimate of the lapsed time.
|
|
|
|
This would have some drawbacks, namely a reduction in portability for
|
|
applications that used terminals that didn't have such a code (and you
|
|
would definitely want to be checking the TERM environment variable to
|
|
make sure the code you send is the correct one for the terminal), and the
|
|
fact that users of those terminal [emulators] wouldn't get estimates,
|
|
but I think that anyone who's satisfied with a dumb terminal is probably
|
|
not going to complain much (if they even have download capability).

Hello,

I post for a friend who hasn't access to the net. He has a problem
|

with his root file system. He has checked it when it was mounted.
|
|
The next time he boots he got the error message that some inode

count is wrong. He forced the system to make a file system check
|

at boot time. The check succeeds, but the next time he boots the
|
|
error comes again.
|

What can he do ????

Subject: 4mm DAT on Linux?
|
|
Date: 23 Sep 1994 04:18:56 GMT
|
|
|
|
I've heard that Linux will support 8mm DAT and a lot of other tape
|
|
drives, but I've never heard about 4mm DATs. Does anyone know if they
|
|
are supported under Linux, and if so, which brands/models? I'd prefer
|
|
SCSI, but if there is an floppy-controlled (or proprietary controller)
|
|
one that works with Linux, let me know. I'm assuming that a 4mm SCSI
|
|
DAT would be supported with the regular SCSI tape driver, so please
|
|
let me know if I'm right or wrong.
|
|
|
|
Thanks.

You can make a mirror image copy of a floppy with the following commands:
|
|
|
|
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=tmpimage (copies floppy to image file)
|
|
<switch floppies>
|
|
dd if=tmpimage of=/dev/fd0 (copies image file to new floppy)
|
|
rm tmpimage (cleans up temp file)

Subject: syslogd loosing records
|
|
Date: 20 Sep 1994 20:48:36 GMT
|
|
|
|
Have anyone noticed syslogd loosing records when the system is loaded?
|
|
As far as I understand, this may happen when the socket buffers are filled,
|
|
syslogd has not been dispatched yet to clean them, and an applicaiton is
|
|
issuing more syslog()s. As the syslog() function uses non-blocking write, the
|
|
message is just dropped if it cannot be written into the socket.
|
|
|
|
Is there any good way to avoid such loss of information?
|
|
|
|
I am running syslogd from util-linux 1.6, last modified by Neal Becker Jan 16 1994.

OS/2-3.0 isn't out yet either is it? :-) The official release

of XFree86-3.1 was supposed to be the end of Sept. so I would
|

be patient just a little longer.

I've been trying to get a slip connection to my linux box from a windows
|
|
client running tcpman 1.0a.
|
|
I followed instructions in the HOWTO/NET-2-HOWTO/help/man/...
|
|
|
|
Almost everywhere they say to do a ifconfig., here is what I get when I
|
|
do that:
|
|
|
|
# /sbin/ifconfig ppp0 93.89.34.1 pointopoint 93.89.34.50
|
|
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device or address
|
|
|
|
|
|
the same using sl0 or anything else.
|
|
Of course I selected SLIP/CSLIP/PPP when I recompiled my kernel 1.1.51.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anybody has any idea and examples?
|
|
|

thanks,
