Ftp & Samba questions

by Marc Hughes

Here's 2 quick questions. If I set up samba to be a domain controller. Can clients not participating in the domain still log in? What FTP server do you suggest for internal use that's low-load (5 max clients at a time) and low-maintenance? -Marc

You need to install whatever package provides libpng.so. On my SuSE system, its called libpng-devel but it may be called something else if you are not running SuSE. -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Linux and mssql

by aramico＠duahati.com

Friends, I have a problem here... Is anyone of you using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 that of course run on Windows 2000 Advanced Server where the developing is done in Linux with its integration such as php and apache. I have re-configured my php configuration and add the configuration needed for the mssql integration : Before, my php is running perfect with this configuration : ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-memory-limit --enable-ftp --enable-bcmath --enable-track-vars --enable-calendar --enable-dio --with-gmp --with-java=/usr/local/java --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --with-gd --with-pdflib=/usr/local --with-gettext --with-mm=/usr/local/mm/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-xml Now, mssql's need are included, so the reconfiguration looks like: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-memory-limit --enable-ftp --enable-bcmath --enable-track-vars --enable-calendar --enable-dio --with-gmp --with-java=/usr/local/java --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --with-gd --with-pdflib=/usr/local --with-gettext --with-mm=/usr/local/mm/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-iodbc=/usr/local --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds --with-xml The diffrent is only placed on: --with-iodbc=/usr/local and --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds but error happens as these shown bellow: 1. On installing linux odbc ( unixODBC-2.2.8.tar.gz ), error is: . . . checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! what does it mean ? Well, I've already use the rpm version. 2. On php's progress in configuring : configure: warning: with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds: invalid host type . . . checking for the location of libtiff... no checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... (cached) yes ./configure: cd: yes: No such file or directory checking for png_create_info_struct in -lpng... no configure: error: libpng not found! whats the relation between iodbc and mssql to this ? Is Linux not supporting development using php where the database is using MSQL ? Can somebody help me ? I need to develope using php where the database is on MSSQL Server 2000 on windows 2000 advanced server. Thanks. Aramico

It appears that I have some hardware issues. The box is an older PII that was rescued from the basement and put back into service. After pulling the plug and restarting it, the Ethernet card failed to initialize and the boot process hangs with trying to create /var/log/boot.msg. I guess I should have looked at that before asking for help.

Andy, I could do a quick talk on 3d modeling with tools such as Kpovmodeler and povray on linux, if you think people might be interested in that... Hey, how's the job search going? I could see about getting your resume into the proper peoples hands if you'd be interested in that?

block devices

How do I create a block device? Specifically, how do I re-create /dev/fd0 after I accidentally obliterated it? (hint: don't use the -u option with shred when the target is a device.) Thanks, Greg Avedissian

System won't shutdown

by Michael Long

Hi, I have a computer with SuSE 9.0 installed. When I run shutdown -h now it starts the shutdown process but then hangs immediately after running /etc/init.d/halt.local2 done I can hit the carriage return and am left at the console with the system running. The relevant part of ps x at this point is. 296822 ? S 0:00 2 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/rc 0 296899 ? S 0:00 2 /bin/2sh /etc/init.d/rc0.d/S20halt start What could be preventing this machine from shutting down? Thanks, Mike
