Hi,
when I try to mount a shared drive from my Win95 system by doing:
smbmount \\\\greentree\\c /mnt
the results are: mount error, no such device, please refer to
smbmnt(8).
I can use smbclient \\\\greentree\c and look at and copy
files between system.
I am using Redhat 6.1
Thanks
Mike

Hello. I have the exact same request ; I'm searching for a RH 6.2 driver
for my KT7R. I'll let you know here and by e-mail if I ever find something.
Anyway, if you succeeded in configuring four disks in RAID 0+1, I'm
interested. Please mail.

Hmmmm....
What version of smbmount are you using?
smbmount v2.0.5a accepts sharenames in the format
//server/share
as in
smbmount //greentree/c /mnt
>the results are: mount error, no such device, please refer to
>smbmnt(8).
Do you have the smbfs.o module loaded?
Are you sure that the sharename is \\GREENTREE\C ?
Have you tried the -I and/or -n options?

Those cards are not really true hardware RAID devices. The only true EIDE
hardware RAID is from Adaptec. Those are in the $200 range.

I could not agree more. I once used fdisk (DOS), fdisk (LINUX) and PM
in paralell and escaped several heart attacks, but only just. Since
then I have used only PM with no problems at all. I'd rather stiick to
the most stringent package out there than running any risks.

Ok,ok! It's not entierly ture. :)
I don't mean that a GUI is the best solution in all cases, but in many. I
would like to see our photographers adjust pictures and making cutouts using
a text-based CLI. :)
If you just running a server it may be even better to leave the GUI out,
instead of letting it take up resources from disk and memory.
However to show that i'm not just wining, i like to say that i downloaded
KDE2 the other day and it looked real nice, even the "office" pack that came
with it. I managed to crash the illustrator-killer though. :)
I hope the guys at KDE keeps up the good work.

Yes and no. I can be done, but the username and password
that you give to Netzero are not the same as the ones
used during start-up. Instead they're based on the
username and password that you give to Netzero. This can
be cracked, but I have not done this with Netzero.
There was an article in this group that told how to save
the PPP start-up dialog to a logfile. I think the
subject line of that article was "are there any free ISPs
that work with linux?". Check there for more details.

I think you are out of luck friend.. I have a Xircom Pocket adapter that
works fine under Windows but no one has come up with anything for Linux and
I don't have the programming skills to do so myself.
The null modem idea I think would be your best bet.

Creating a single pop account which is basically [EMAIL PROTECTED] and having
all other usernames *@domain.com also stored so that their mailserver can
collect it all and then distribute it accordingly (they are running MS
Exchange and is up to them to sort out the distribution) I just need to be
able to have it not bounce and sit in their folder awaiting collection.

Perhaps you don't! Sounds like the first thing to check. That and if
Xwrapper is still suid. Then I'd check to see if /tmp is full.

Look.
If all else fails strace X as it starts up (this is actually darn tricky

I have setup wu-ftpd proftpd and ncftpd and they
all have the same problem. I try to ftp to my
linux box, mandrake if it makes a difference,
from a dos window in windows, I connect and
login, but if I issue an ls or dir, it just
hangs. I get nothing until a control connection
timout. I have tried to use quote pasv since I am
behind a firewall with nat and still same
problem. But, from the same pc I can connect just
fine with wsftp, in passive mode. But I can not
connect from IE5. I just don't get it. Same
problem with three different servers. So I guess
it is not the server. Anyone have any input?
I am thinking something with the return trip. I
can login to other ftp servers with command line
just not my box. Also, linux to linux is fine..

Hello. On RH Linux 6.2, I have installed Apache and PHP using the rpm's

the installation cds. I wish to recompile php3 from scratch so as to
enable mysql support.
Is this possible to do and if so, where do I find the php3 source files?
Do I have to download

More importantly, do I need to 'uninstall' the existing php rpm before
