I may do it the long way, but open Netscape, under menu 'edit',
'preferences', expand category 'Navigator' to show 'Applications'.
This can be used to link external apps or plugins. You can configure
4.72 to match that of your earlier 4.61 if that earlier configuration
is still applicable to your current setup.

For me Netscape was crashing all the time, not to mention the fact that
it loads pages at about 1/3 the speed of IE due to it's horrible
handling of the cache. IE might not handle the cache perfectly either,
but it does a much better job than Netscape.

1. Use linuxconf on the the Linux box to create the Unix user account using
the same username/password that is on the Win NT machine. It is listed as
User accounts in the tree.
2. Verify/Edit the [global] section of smb.conf on the Linux machine to
ensure that encrypted passwords is set. Win 98/NT and newer revisions of 95
use them and if not set, the User will be prompted for a password that will
never resolve when attempting to access his share.
encrypt passwords = yes
smb password file = /etc/smbpasswd (or wherever it is on your system)
3. Look at the [homes] section of the smb.conf and see if something similar
to the following is listed. This is the easiest to setup. If you had 50 Win
NT users you would have to create 50 individual shares in Samba. This way you
just have to make only one:
[homes]
browseable = no
writeable = yes
4. After you have created the Win NT user's Unix account in Linux, you need
to generate a Miscosoft-format machine password using smbpasswd. Use the same
user login/password as on the NT machine and the Linux machine. This is why
you need to do para 2 above.
5. You need to make sure that "File and Print Sharing" are enable on the
Windows machines.
=====================
After you have done the above , here is what happens when the user logs in
from NT. We will use your example of user joe and password 46dks0k.
a. Joe logs in with joe/46dks0k from NT. Because there is no [joe] share,
Samba will search for a [homes] share in smb.conf. If [homes] exists, the
unidentified share name [joe] is assumed to be a Unix username, which is
queried in the password database of the Samba server. If that username
appears, Samba assumes the client is a Unix user trying to connect to his home
directory on the Linux/Samba server.
b. When Joe goes to Network Neighborhood on NT he will see all of the Windows
machines that are in his workgroup and well as the Samba Server machine name
(you need to make sure that the workgroup variable in [global] of smb.conf
equals the workgroup on Windows. i.e Windows workgroup is WORKGROUP, then in
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP).
c. When Joe clicks on the Samba server's machine name he will see his Unix
home directory listed. When he clicks on his home directory he will see the
contents of his home directory. If you use Windows Explorer and map the share
to a drive letter, it will show up in My Computer and Windows Explorer as a
drive whenever he logs into Windows.
=========
I don't know the environment that you are trying to do this in, but security
is probably a concern. There are a lot of configuration feature in Samba that
could benefit you. Again, I strongly suggest that you might want to get the
"Using Samba" published by O'Reilly and Associates (ISBN 1-56592-449-5). It
covers how Windows 95/98/NT needs to be configured; how to set up printer
shares; shares for individual users or groups; access and permissions on the
Samba Server. You can even use Samba to do tape backups using smbtar of the
workgroup. All of this kind of stuff is covered in great detail in the book.

John Suche

I can understand your concern. When I've got a headache, I turn of
image loading, background image loading and I use my own text colors for
reading on the web. However, some of the stuff on that site is just way
too restrictive. The internet and computers, while widely used, are
still in their "infancy" so to speak. Most people who are new to the
web will use Internet Explorer or Netscape unless they're strong-armed
into using something like Lynx or Mosaic.
I have built a page or two in my time and I prefer speed over
flashiness, though I did experiment with appearance once and found that
my home page displays perfectly on my machine as far as color matching
goes, but I loaded it on another machine and colors matched horribly,
especially at lower color depths.
While the opening page for my home page (which I haven't touched for
months) uses java for rollover images and frames, if you have a browser,
you can see the color matching problem here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~involuntary/
If you want to see just the title frame which is nothing more than a
background image with an image on top of it, load this page:
http://home.earthlink.net/~involuntary/title.html
I was going to do some work on it today, but I may wait a few days until
anybody who wants to see it has done so. No, there are no
advertisements on the opening page. :-)
The colors match perfectly on my PC at all color depths expect 256
colors. But then I run at 24-bit or 32-bit color since I have the video
memory to do it.
Now I like having a page that looks nice, but I also don't like going
overboard on graphics and special functions that do nothing but make the
site slow to load.
Once I even thought about making a whole website that was nothing but
80-character lines of fixed-width multi-colored text on a black
background. It would look similar to a BBS. It would certainly be
fast, but it would take a lot longer to create something like that in a
WYSIWYG editor, and even longer in a text editor.

Subject: postfix mailer on mandrake 7.0
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 10:28:56 -0700
I recently installed mandrake 7.0 on my system. All seems to run
reasonably well, but I just noticed that my local mail system wasn't
working. Not a big deal (I use netscape, manually sending/rec external
mail via dialup). The only time I get local mail are from cron tasks,
etc.
So, I did some testing and found that makdrake is using postfix as its
mail agent. If I send mail to another user on my system (just using
mail), I get a warning about sendmail running as suid, and a note that
the message has been stored. However, the recepient can't find the
message with mail.
I did some checking and found that the mail is stored in
/var/spool/postfix/deferred/.
So, what the heck am I supposed to do to get this working properly. BTW,
I've had several other other distros and never had a problem before....

How about vlock? If you use vlock -a, you disable access to all virtual

What about the firewall configuration in LICQ? Did I forget to mention that

That's the reason I CC'ed to both linux.misc and os2.misc groups. I was
somewhat hoping for an answer on not only how to configure the firewall (if
it indeed does need any configuring), but also how to configure LICQ to deal
with that particular firewall.
Now, does anybody other than these now two "Linux wiseguys" have any
suggestions on how to configure LICQ to use the InJoy Firewall in order to
receive file transfers?

Hi!
I'm looking for help with fonts in tgif (4.1.25-3, from Debian).
Hoping someone can help/explain.
My problem is that when I use certain fonts in a tgif document,
the doc won't print. Two examples of offending fonts are:
Tempo (from the freefont Type-1 package) and BlackForest
(from the sharefont package). Both of these work fine in
other apps. They preview without problem in gv/Ghostview. I've
even converted them for use with groff, and they print just
fine.
In tgif, they load properly and show up on the screen (as well
as any other font, which isn't saying much since font rendering
in tgif is pretty ugly). However, when I try to print a doc
using them, nothing happens. My printer just sits there.
I tried converting .obj files with these fonts to PS, and
discovered that the doc converts just fine, except that the
problem fonts simply don't show up.
What's going on?

I'm having difficulty with the Wordnet Tcl/Tk browser. Hoping

I know zilch about Tcl/Tk, so I have no idea how to correct the
problem. Anybody know what's going on? Have quick fixes?
The version of Wordnet I'm using is 1.6-10, from Debian.
Tcl/Tk is 8.2. I've tried Wordnet with Tcl/Tk 8.0 and earlier
versions; same thing.
What's really annoying is that I used to have Wordnet 1.6-7, and
it worked just fine. (Won't go into why I don't have it
anymore; it's a long story.)
All help will be appreciated.

Hmm, some of the later installations I found no more difficult than a
typical windows install - in fact, Windows 2000 complained and gave me
more hassle than Red hat 6.1. What people fail to recognize is that
your mileage will vary. Different hardware, etc... Both will have
problems in certain situations - but given the advancements in the linux
install for several major distributions - I find it hard to believe that
people still find Linux hard to install. Not as a generalization
anyway. Each situation is it's own.

Again - your mileage will vary. On my laptop at work friday Windows 98
SE crashed solid 3 times in the afternoon. The power button was my only
savior. Red hat on my desktop at home has crashed once - in 2 years of
constant running. (Never figured out what I did that time either :)
Yet I hear people say they never have windows crash on them. So - again
- it depends on the situation and hardware involved.

My PC boots up in X (When it boots at all - I leave it up) and I have no

My ICQ instant messenger is always running as is AOL IM. I don't feel
I'm missing anything. I run the same setup on my Win2k box downstairs -

But there will always be preferences. Until I found Linux (for the 3rd
time - as early versions were significantly more difficult to install :)
two years ago my preference on the above list was OS/2. Ran it almost
exclusively from OS/2 2.1 to Warp 4.0. Then IBM Dropped us. :( I've
used Windows (all versions since 3.0), Dos, OS/2, Beos, Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris, SCO Unix, DR-Dos - They all do the same thing. But it's how
they do it that matters.

That's a blanket statement - not true in all cases. I find Linux far
more stable, secure and easy to manipulate than Windows. I don't expect
others to feel the same however. And you are correct - not everyone has
what it takes to write an OS - I certainly could read the code easily
enough. There's nothing difficult about the C language. But there is
certainly differences with writing applications - vs writing OS's.
However - the thing I like most is that I COULD work on the Kernal if I
chose to. For someone wishing to learn about operating systems - where
else can you get such an oportunity?

That last argument makes no sense - late at night I do play Unreal,
Quake, but mostly Heroes of might and magic 3. However - I only own the
linux versions and no one has yet written an emulator to run them on
Windows. ;)

Pressure - only in that they need the revenue. Windows 95 was a big
event. Hell - why else would they have hung banners from the CN tower
in Toronto? That was a significant release - major upgrade from 3.1.
Windows 98 - a few new features - not many in my opinion. And a
relatively quiet release. Worth it for the bug fixes - but the price of
the upgrade was to high IMO for what you got out of it. We don't
necessarily need a new operating system every other year. How long
between 3.1 and 95? We need it when they have significant new features
to add for us. Microsoft (and the rest too) need it when sales drop on
their existing OS.

I guess you could either replace postfix with sendmail (if Mandrake
makes that easier, and you happen to know how to configure sendmail),
or you could configure postfix.
Personally, I'd go for the latter. You'll probably find the
configuration files in /etc/postfix (that's where debian sticks them,
anyway). Edit main.cf, then run "postfix reload" as root.
As mailers go, I found postfix the easiest to configure.

That's not entirely correct. Nothing NEVER crashes. :) I had Linux
crash on me once - but that's with 2 years + constant running. That's a
good track record don't you think. :) Personally - everything I want to

over 2 years. My other machine runs Windows(all versions) Beos,

to.

So, why don't you guys get together and write a better web browser for
X? Yes, it would be a _huge_ project. You will also want to pass on
the MPL code. Better to stick with a BSD license or GPL.
I would do it myself, but I am working on another project that turns
out to be more complicated than I first expected.
Just a thought.

I've got the same problem. I have a laptop computer that uses the
neomagic drivers for X that I would like to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2.
And of course 6.4 is about to come out. What a dilema!
' Does anybody have any experience in upgrading SuSE Linux v6.0 to SuSE Linux

I plan on backing up my laptop to my other machine so that I can get
back stuff. I'm going to try the upgrade system option in yast and
hope for the best.
