the SMB-Howto refers to either telling windows to use unencrypted passwords,
or telling samba to use encrypted passwords from a file (most likely, in
your case, /etc/smbpasswd )
I opted for the plain passwords option on my win98 box and it works fine

AFAIK 2GB is the limit but <http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html>
says that its to be a part of 2.4 (and some support is available in 2.2).
Is there any way to create a virtual 2+GB file by merging two smaller
files? (I work in genomics for some reason and a lot of my files seem to
be >2GB)

Press M S C and add to your customized-hdrs the following value:
customized-hdrs = Reply-To: "Name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
You can also change the from header. In order to do this, you should add
the From: header to the list above. You can also add From: to your list of
default-composer-hdrs =. The difference between customized-hdrs and
default-composer-hdrs is that the latter are always visible when you
compose, but the first are only visible when you press ^R in your headers
section of the mail message.
Depending on the version of pine you are using, if you decide to edit
your From: field, you may need to add manually in your .pinerc file
"allow-changing-from" under your "feature-list" configuration option.

Subject: LILO version 21.6.1 released
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 17:38:19 GMT
LILO release 21.6.1 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21.
Version 21.6.1 is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor problems.
Version 21.6 is an upgrade for users of the Reiser File System, and adds
new diagnostic capabilities. Internal changes allow booting kernels with
larger real-mode setup codes (2.4.0 and later). This version is fully
backward compatible with version 21.5, which added the customizable boot
menu interface, and versions back to 21.2, which allowed booting beyond
the 1024 cylinder limit on disks >8Gb.
Source code is available for download from:
ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo (developer's site)
Or from the main distribution site:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo (please use)
See the distribution file 'CHANGES' for details of the differences between
21.6.1 and prior releases.

Depending on your distribution CD, you should be able to boot from it and
jump over to a console (type 'rescue' from redhat, or try alt-f2 or
alt-f3).
Mount your linux partition on /mnt (for instance), and mount your /boot
partition on /mnt/boot (if it is in it's own partition). Then run lilo -r
/mnt.
Something you might consider, if you think you'll need to reinstall win98
in the future again is to install lilo into the boot record of your root
partition by changing the boot= to /dev/hda? (partition number). Then
install the DOS boot loader into the MBR (fdisk /mbr from DOS mode), and
set the active partition to the linux partition.
The advatange of this, is that if you reinstall Windows in the future,
all you need to do to get Linux back is to do fdisk /mbr and set the
active partition again.

Give VA tech support a call. Even if you're not a customer, they may
point you in the right direction.
I know in the past, they included a beta 2.2.x kernel on their ftp site
which includes large file support. However, you'll also
need to recompile glibc or install glibc which has been compiled for
large file support.

Subject: Problem running JDK1.3 on Linux2.2.15
Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 10:56:47 -0700
Hello,
I downloaded JDK 1.3 for Linux from www.javasoft.com and followed
their instructions for installing Java on a linux machine.
Following is the output from %uname -a
on this machine"
Linux ndd 2.2.15 #1 Thu Jun 1 10:47:16 EST 2000 i686 unknown
I also set the environment variable for JAVA_HOME, in this case
JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jdk1.3
export JAVA_HOME
and PATH="$HOME/jdk1.3/bin:$PATH"
so that when i do %which java or %which javac, i get back
/home/magal/jdk1.3/bin/java
/home/magal/jdk1.3/bin/javac etc.
However, when i actually try to compile some Java code or
run a Java class, i run into problems. Looks like the Java Virtual machine
doesn't get initialised or something, for example i get the following:
%javac MonitorServer.java
/home/magal/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/javac: error in loading shared
libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No
such
file or directory
I compiled the code on another machine and got the .class file, then
%java MonitorServer
/home/magal/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error in loading shared
libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No
such
file or directory
I cannot figure out what's going on. Am i missing something obvious or
is there something specific that needs to be configured.
Has anybody run into this problem before? Any comments,
suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sanjay Magal

Subject: X-Windows configuartion problem
Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 11:14:26 -0700
None of the FAQ's quite seem to address
my specific problem ... although this must
be simple.
Running RedHat 7.0 on a Dell with a
Riva graphics card on the motherboard.
However, I added a ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP
1x/2x with 8 MB video ram.
Monitor is ViewSonic VP151 flat screen.
When I run Xconfigurator, it correctly detects
the ATI card, the ViewSonic monitor and
the video ram. But it reports an error
when attempting to start the server.
Tried using console tool xf86config also,
but with no luck.
Could this be a problem with screens?
Can I solve it by hand editing the file
produced by Xconfigurator?
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed.

I have unfortunately arrived at the same place as you, although via a different
route. After applying a number of Redhat package updates I cannot reboot into
runlevel 5. In my case I checked the log file in /var/gdm and it appears that
gdm is unable to connect to the X server, an authorization problem. My next step
is to see if there may be an Xauthority file associated with gdm that needs to
be recreated.

This, of course, needs to be on a single line, and there has to be at
least a space or tab after "unhide".

Is the floppy formatted correctly? Does /mnt/floppy exist, and do you
have proper access rights to both /mnt and /mnt/floppy ? How about
/dev/fd0 ? Is vfat support compiled into the kernel, or loaded as a
module?
Comment out the corresponding line in /etc/fstab, and then try
mounting your floppy with as few options as possible. If that
works, add options until it stops working...
As in: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt

Here is the smb.conf file after SWAT removed all comments from the

My problem is that the root share does not even exist when I try my
Map Drive command in Windows explorer. So I don't reach the login. But
that is of course understandable since the deamon is not even started
and fails when I try to start it.
I have now followed other advice and added a bogus domain just to make
a try at defining the hostname which samba keeps complaining about.
Doesn't work though....

Subject: A few newbie questions
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 18:17:06 GMT
I installed Red Hat Linux 7.0 over the weekend on my laptop and have a
few questions that I'm hoping the more experienced out there can help
me with:
1. I used Partition Magic to set up my partitions, and am using
BootMagic for dual booting with Win98. I followed the instructions very
carefully, making sure that I did not install LILO into the Master Boot
Record. However, when I boot up and select Linux, another screen comes
up where I have to choose between dos and linux. Is this normal? If I
have to go through LILO anyway, what's the advantage to using
BootMagic?
2. Given the relatively limited hard drive space on my laptop, I didn't
want to make the Linux partition too large (I'm really just using it to
become more comfortable with Unix commands and emacs since I need to
use these at work). I set it up with 1004 MB for the Linux native
partition and 133 MB for the swap partition. But there's now about 280
MB free, and to be honest, I don't expect to fill that up anytime soon.
Is there any way to resize the Linux partition (extended primary
partition containing 2 logical partitions)?
3. I read through the Getting Started manual and found the information
on mounting my Windows partition so that I can access it in Linux. Will
this allow me to copy files from Linux to Windows? I assume that I
don't need free space equal to the size of the Win partition - it's
just mounting it as another volume, like a CD-ROM or floppy, correct?

/etc/passwd to get the password (use /etc/smbusers to convert the username).
Doesn't this working?
Btw, when I try to connect, WinME (or Win98 ...have tried it on 2 machines)
report share as /ipc$ and just ask me for the password. I recall in WinNT, it
will ask connect as and password, where connect as is the username. Wonder if
it is possible to set so that it will ask for connect as and the password,
instead of just the password?
