I've set up Samba servers in the past masquerading as NT domain login machines, but I wasn't aware there was a better solution (minus Hummingbird, which I'm not even sure of the extent of NFS and NIS features). Anyone have a good explanation on what can be done? Brian J. Conway dogbert(a)clue4all.net Geek for hire: http://clue4all.net/resume Men may control the free world, but women control the boobs.

Problems

by Doctor Orbitz

I have Slackware 7.1 running on a an AMD 133Mhz box with 32Megs RAM. This is my webserver, shell server, Ip MASQ box, and it locks up alot. It seems to lock up when I'm downloading on a box in my network behind it. I am runnign Kernel 2.4.0 on an ADSL line. I have had this problem with all kernel compiles I have done. I used to run FreeBSD, then OpenBSD on this box with no trouble. I did not, however, have ADSL then, so those boxes were just using a dial-up. I think IP MASQ is lockign the box up at some point. There are no messages in /var/log/messages, it just stops cold. My PPPOE client, when running top, never appears to use more than 10% of my CPU. I do not think the problem is in the pppoe client because the box does not seem to lock up when I'm downloading on it. (as in ssh'ing in and using lynx). Does anyone have any ideas on this? Orbitz

Re: [Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting on Wednesday, March 14th at 7 PM

by Jeremy

Would anyone be interested in seeing a wireless network in place? I have an Apple Airport working great at home that I could sudo-demo at the meeting... I have the 3com AirConnect PC Card also working on my laptop, which shows how to setup a PC card network adapter under linux as well. The Airport is connected to an IDSL in my apt and pretty easy to configure.. They do have a WIN/MAC client to configure it (my laptop is win/linux dual boot), but I also believe that they have a JAVA client (=linux) but I have not tried using that one yet either. Its about a $400 solution (base and PC CARD - kinda pricey for most college bound) but wicked convient for the home laptop and multiple computers (i.e. laptops and work stations) The airport does takes the place of using a linux box as a router / gateway though :-) It does NAT and a DHCP server - wicked simple and reliable. Just shows another angle / solution. This is low priority so if there is not enough time / interest no biggie... -Jeremy --- Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)mediaone.net> wrote: > > HI everyone, > > This is a friendly reminder: the next WLUG meeting will be held on > Wednesday, > March 14th at 7 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester, MA.

by Andy Stewart

HI everyone, This is a friendly reminder: the next WLUG meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 14th at 7 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester, MA. Directions can be found on the WLUG website: http://www.wlug.org WLUG members Doug Waud, Stephen Daukas, and Chuck Anderson have been working together on the presentation for this meeting (at least that's the story I've been given). They will be discussing their experiences with home networking. Check out the WLUG website for a more detailed description of the focus of their talk. I expect that this will be a good meeting for someone who might not have setup a home network but is considering it. After the presentation, if time allows, we'll open the floor for a general question and answer session. At the conclusion of the meeting, a group of us will head over to the Boynton Restaurant for some pizza and beer. As always, the meeting and the post-meeting festivities are open to anybody who is interested in Linux. No secret handshake is required. :-) See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder -o) | Aquadextrous, adj.: Possessing the Worcester Linux Users' Group /\ | ability to turn the bathtub faucet on and Worcester, MA, USA _\_v | off with your toes. -- Rich Hall, http://www.wlug.org | "Sniglets"

Open Source XML Programming Tutorial

by Steve Litt

Hi all, Because most XML books and websites force the you to recite Microsoft incantations, I wrote an all Open Source XML programming tutorial using Linux and Xerces-Java from Apache Software Foundation. It thoroughly covers coding of DOM, SAX, and DTD's. http://www.troubleshooters.com/tpromag/200103/200103.htm Enjoy!

Re: [Wlug] Set Date/Time

by Keith Wright

> From: "Peter Nikolla" <petern(a)hvnnet.com> > > I am having a problem setting the date/time on my Linux box. If you are not dual booting, set the proper time in UCT (Greenwich) in the ROM bios. Once that is right, it will become clear what is wrong. If you are dual booting, you may be forced to set the hardware clock to local civil time. That is no disaster, but you have to think harder to get it right. I think 'hwclock' should only be used to make small adjustments if the clock drifts after being set correctly. I am not sure what 'date' is for in SET! mode (as opposed to DISPLAY mode). Maybe in case you need to back-date some documents without re-booting. > I set it using date 030310152001 for 3/3/2001 10:15. I almost wrote back "thou fool, hast permuted fields", but the 'man date' page seems to agree with you. Can anybody think of a more obtuse way to write a date? Sometimes Unix is embarrasing. > until I reboot the box. At that time it changes to some other time. Calculate the amount of change and meditate upon that number. > I checked my CMOS and the time is correct. What am I doing wrong?
