If you have only 5 users, I think the simplest approach is to create a unique share for each person, so that when you go to \\server, you'll see shares for mom, dad, kid1, kid2, kid3. Each one should have an account on the linux box, and each share should have a 'force user' & 'force group' in smb.conf for their own account. That way, if you click on kid1, you have to enter kid1's password, regardless of what Win98 sends for the username. You also have to remember to uncheck 'remember password' too. -Chuck

Hi all

by Wesley Allen

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

RE: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames

by Marc Hughes

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...

openssl upgrade - U might b need it ;p

by Aramico

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

Okay, flame war time, but this is really starting to bug me. What's everyone's freekin problem with MIME formatted messages? The poster's message is NOT in HTML format (referring to a previous post on the matter). It's in multipart/alternative. That means your mailer is free to choose what alternative encoding to display. I have mutt configured to show me text/html version (piped thru lynx, of course), but I could just as easily have it show me the text/plain one instead. The way I see it, giving the reader the option of what version to display is the best compromise, as compared to either A) not offering multimedia in email at all, or B) berating the sender of a message for not using a format you agree with. Using a retarded mailer that doesn't know to interpret multipart/alternative is no excuse. And jumping right to option B is just childish. -Chuck

Re: [Wlug] Completelly Uninstall for .tar version!

by Michael Patrick Frysinger

this depends on the distribution you're using ;) i'm assuming you're currently using RedHat which means you're gonna have to do some work to track down which files it installed. you *might* be lucky and the makefile that came with the .tar will have an 'uninstall' target ... run this cmd in the directory where you extracted the sources: `make uninstall` if it complains about no target (in other words nothing seems to happen), then look to see if the source has a configure script. if it does, run it with the preix option set to a directory that is currently empty ... `./configure --prefix=/tmp/my_stupid_install` and then run make like that ... hopefully make will respect the prefix completely and install under that directory, at which point you can analyze the resulting directory tree to see where the last install put files. -mike On Mon, 30 Sep 2002, Aramico wrote: > How can i make a completelly uninstall for an application that has been installed by using .tar sources ? >
