[SLE] Firewall/Masq box
by jhoepner＠tvsw.org 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

I have a 386DX, 4meg ram, (1)200megHD, (1)120megHD, (1)3Com NIC. I connect to my ISP via modem (wvdial - will be switching to diald.dod). I'm running a way-minimal install of SuSE 6.2. I setup a 64meg swap partition. This is my first Linux install (at home) so I just wanted to start with a *simple* project. So, for starters I want this machine as a firewall / masq box between my win95 box (soon to be converted to SuSE) and the internet. I seem to have everything working (I can ping, telnet, ftp thru my firewall) EXCEPT: 1) nothing is reaching my internet browser(IE 5.0) - it just says "Website found, waiting for reply" then times out and 2) I can't send email (but I CAN receive email). I thought my problem was that my IPCHAINS were too restrictive so I did a test and told ipchains to accept everything (both ways) for INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD. That did not fix my problem. Does anyone have a suggestion as to any other things I can try to debug?

Sorry about the appearance of shouting. I knew someone would pull me over in that one... i won't use caps ever again. :o) then francois will tell me off. geesh. only joking btw. As far as the email problems is concerened, its all fixed. I'm just suffering and recovering after doing something I shouldn't have done. If anyone wants a list of what not to do with a Linux box then I'm sure I can reel off a few stories.

[SLE] Elsa Microlink 56k USB modem
by rw8＠irz.inf.tu-dresden.de 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hi, I have some (big?) problems using my Elsa Microlink 56k USB modem using the Kernel 2.3.51 (running on a SuSE 6.2 'Light' from a magazine). The USB-Code recognizes my modem correctly, with minicom I can get a connection to my provider. But there are two problems: 1) pppd prints the following error message: ioctl(TIOCSETD(PPP)): Invalid argument(22) pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check t I've compiled PPP-support into the kernel, as static or as module, and it never worked. What does the first line mean? 2) wvdial isn't able to connect to the provider: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: AT --> Modem not responding. (normally its sending ATZ, but that doesn't work, too) BUT one of these tries ended up as follows: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: AT AT OK --> Sending: AT S0=0 L1 Q0 V1 E1 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 AT S0=0 L1 Q0 V1 E1 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT 8699906 --> Waiting for carrier. ATDT 8699906 CONNECT 46666 V42bis --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. --> Starting pppd at Wed Mar 29 13:10:00 2000 --> PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 4) --> Disconnecting at Wed Mar 29 13:10:00 2000 --> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds --> pppd error! Look at files in /var/log for an explanation. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: AT AT OK --> Sending: AT S0=0 L1 Q0 V1 E1 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 AT S0=0 L1 Q0 V1 E1 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: AT --> Modem not responding. Returning not ok!! --> Disconnecting at Wed Mar 29 13:10:16 2000 My /etc/wvdial.conf: [Dialer Defaults] Username = <username> Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Password = <password> Init1 = AT Init2 = AT S0=0 L1 Q0 V1 E1 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 Compuserve = 0 Tonline = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Phone = 8699906 Baud = 38400 Auto DNS = 1 Stupid Mode = 1 New PPPD = 1 (snipped out username and password :-) /etc/ppp/options: lock debug Any suggestions? I've read that it worked with this modem, but not on my computer :-( Thanx, Robert. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

You need to be more specific. For windows peer to peer networking you need samba www.samba.org 2.0.5a should be on your samba disk. also you can telnet back and forth.

This is certainly a permissions problem. Can someone tell me the permissions of: /var/spool/ and everything underneath this. ** DON'T BE STUPID AND MOVE YOUR HOME DIRECTORY AND VAR AND THEN SYMLINK THEM! ** To recap: 1. I INSTALLED A NEW IDE HARD DRIVE 2. I MOVED VAR AND HOME TO THE MOUNT POINT OF THIS (/usr3) 3. I SYMLINKED TO THE RELEVANT DIRECTORIES 4. DOING THIS HAS LOST ALL PERMISSIONS (root.root) 5. WHEN I RUN ELM I GET 7 RETRY MESSAGES ON READING MAIL (WAITING FOR DELIVERY) I CAN READ ROOTS EMAIL UNDER ELM - very understandable. I CAN'T ON ANY OTHER USER I even created a user, and tried to look at the settings but the same problem occured. I only have 1 Linux machine at my disposal here in work - and I never thought of checking at home. Please can someone help? Kev -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Jackson [mailto:kevin.jackson@jhallpr.demon.co.uk] Sent: 29 March 2000 17:02 To: SuSE Linux List (E-mail) Subject: [SLE] Procmail I have made some changes... :o) I put a new hard drive in... and moved "home" and "var" over to it. Guess what? I didn't do it in single user mode - and I think I'm going to regret it. I now can't access my own email (using elm and Outlook across the network) but I can access roots email using elm. The console log tells me: procmail[416]: Renamed bogus "/var/spool/mail/jackk" into "/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.jackk.ZC" For some strange reason I reckon it has something to do with my yearn for extra disk space! :o) Can anyone shed any light! Is it a permissions problem? I think I've got a lead on this already - my Samba share to my home area comes up with permission denied... !

Good evening, I'm looking for info on Apache: - Does Apache already contain a sort of intra-site search-engine? - if available, can this engine point to and also search within damned *.doc files? (I'm trying to avoid using M$ IIS...)
