RE: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames
by Simoncini, Matthew Oct. 3, 2002

Oct. 3, 2002

I'm sorry I didn't follow this thread from the start, but I can explain how we have Samba setup at our client site: We are running Samba 2.2.2 on the server side (Solaris 2.6 or 2.7) with mostly Windows 2000 clients connecting on the client side. When I want to map my home directory from my Windows 2000 client, I use Map Network Drive and supply the following information: Drive: <some letter> Folder: \\clemens\simoncim When I hit finish, it maps my Unix home directory without any problems.

samba shares & win98 usernames
by Bill Mills-Curran Oct. 3, 2002

Oct. 3, 2002

I want to set up some samba shares to be mounted on my win98 box, and I'd like to protect the shares with usernames and passwords, but I can't remember how to specify a username from the win98 box. I seem to remember a way by adding the username to the share spec, but I can't find any documentation on the subject. Any ideas? Or should I use a different approach? (I have 3 kids & a wife who are mainly windows users, but will sometimes use my linux box. I'd like them to be able to read/write their files from either machine.) TIA, Bill

Hi all
by Wesley Allen Oct. 3, 2002

Oct. 3, 2002

Hi all, I got mandrake 9.0 on my laptop (now XP-less, smile) and I love it. However, I've got two problems.... 1. My usb devices are not accepting addresses, I've got a dmesg log in a file if you want to see it. 2. I can't get tpconfig to work! Does anyone know if the patch was pre-installed for tpconfig in previous mdk's? I used to be able to install the rpm and it just worked, now it doesn't work at all (and I hate "tapping"). Thanks gang, I learn a lot from this list! Wes

openssl upgrade - U might b need it ;p
by Aramico Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

Well, about my problem in upgrading my remote server with the latest version of openssl, apache and other its need to avoid getting the error.... Just wanna tell u this, you might be need it, if not... just ignore it.... ;p Well, at the first time, before removing the available openssl, you might have to enable the TELNET CONNECTION first. It's better to completely remove the available openssl first, but remember to ENABLE THE TELNET CONNECTION first. After removing the old openssl, you can not make any other SSH connection to your remote machine. You have got to do this fast, do not let the TELNET CONNECTION enable for a long time period. Get the latest openssl in www.openssl.com, and follow the instruction. Dont be affraid of libcrypto.* proble. Just configured the openssl installation with shared (./configure --prefix=/YOUR_OPENSSL_DIR_TARGET --openssldir=/YOUR_OPENSSL_DIR_TARGET shared) That's the main idean that I would like to say, shared. It's automatically created the latest file of libcrypto.* and other its need. Simple, make the duplicate of the needed file and create a link from a defined .so as .so asked. Then, you can simply close the TELNET CONNECTION (using chkconfig --level 3 telnet off - Redhat) and re-enabling the ssh connection by typing /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart) Good Luck...... ;p

RE: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames
by Marc Hughes Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

I don't know about win98, but on 2000, when you "Map Network Drive" there's a hyperlink (yes, hyperlink... Don't ask me why it wouldn't be a button, or even better a checkbox with a slightly different program flow ... But enough of my rant about MS bad UI design) that says "Connect using a different username". If you hit that, you can specify a username when connecting. I've also noticed if I connect to \\server\hughesm (my home directory) it will ask for my username & password, I log into windows as MarcH, and then if I connect to any other share on that server it uses that name, but it only asks me for a username for my home directory... Of course this is win2k again, and we all know how consistant MS is. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: Bill Mills-Curran [mailto:subssn594@charter.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 11:43 AM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames I want to set up some samba shares to be mounted on my win98 box, and I'd like to protect the shares with usernames and passwords, but I can't remember how to specify a username from the win98 box.

Oct 24, 2002: Install Fest !
by Andy Stewart Sept. 28, 2002

Sept. 28, 2002

HI Everybody, I have reserved the HIggins Labs discovery classroom (HL218?) for our upcoming install fest! This is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 24, which is the night which was scheduled for our next WLUG meeting. I thought that the first week of B term would work out well for the WPI undergraduates. In place of the meeting, we'll have the install fest from 6:30 - 9:30 PM (yes, the time is earlier for this occasion). I will update the website shortly. If you know people who are interested in having us help them with a Linux installation, please ask them to send me an e-mail so I can keep track. We can probably accomodate folks who want us to configure something but I'd like to give priority to installations. Voyeurs are most welcome to watch and learn! Would somebody from WPILA please post this information on some appropriate WPI newsgroups, bulletin boards, and the like? I'd like to give priority to WPI students and allow "outsiders" if we have enough space. Remember, we have another install fest in February which is open to everybody.

I have a compaq EN pII350, I had one 40gb Maxtor hard drive installed and suse was running fine then I added a second 40gb Western Digital hard drive. Both of them run at 7500rpm. There are a couple of things that seam out of wack. Firest when i install only the WD as the master the computer only gives me the bios screne and nothing else. But when I have the SD set as slave adn the Maxtor as teh master it seams to detec both drives. then i go through the whold Suse install. It dects both HD drives and therwe sizes properly. After it installs and configures everyting it starts the system is fine. The problem arizes the first tiem you stry to restart the system. All it does is go through the BIOS and nest it trys to start the system but all it displays is "li".

Procmail setup
by Jim Lund Sept. 26, 2002

Sept. 26, 2002

Hi, I'm trying to configure SpamAssassin to run on my RH7.0 server. Procmail was installed with the inital setup. I've added the following line to my .forward file: "|IFS=' ' && exec /etc/smrsh/procmail -f- || exit 75 #test" I've also tried: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #test" The user I'm trying this out on is "test". There is a .procmailrc file in /home/test/ just like what's described in the SpamAssassin INSTALL file. I've added a sym link for procmail in /etc/smrsh to /usr/bin/procmail. My sendmail.mc file has the following line: FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl When I send mail to test, it bounces back with this error: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|IFS=' ' && exec /etc/smrsh/procmail -f- || exit 75 #test" (reason: 550 Unsafe for mailing to programs) (expanded from: <test(a)fiero.net>) I've scoured the net for info on setting this up properly and have tried everything that's been suggested. I'm at a loss what else is causing this problem. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! jim

When I upgraded to RedHat 7.2, Star Office seemed to lose most of its fonts. (I can't remember if I installed the new Star Office from the distro, but I think I did.) I've skimmed some web documents on adding fonts, and they seem fairly complex and I don't want to spend that much time on this. Does anyone know an easy way of getting decent fonts back? TIA, Bill
