Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 19:09:34 -0000
Hello,
I have read through many of the Samba FAQ's and readme but their is so much
I have failed to find exactly what I am looking for.
I have an NT domain with over 400 users, split into many user groups.
I also have a linux box which I hope will be my new file server. I have
shares that are public, but I am having difficulty giving access at user
level. All the clients are NT Workstations 4.0 (with SP4 if it make a
difference).
I have security set to server and the appropriate bdc in the password server
parameter.
However, how can I set permissions on a share to an NT group of users ?
Thank You for any response.

Are you absolutely sure that the 'integrated' modem isn't a Winmodem? (if it
is, you're out of luck- you'll have to go and buy a new one)

Hello all,
Just installed a fresh 2.2.3 kernel. It all went really good. The only
problem is that smbmount won't work anymore. Its the same config I used with
2.0.36 kernel. Keeps saying invalid argument. I used the same command line
argument ...
smbmount //server/cdrive /mnt/win98 -c linuxbox -n
Yes i have the /mnt/win98 dir in structure. Did the new kernel change
permissions, or do I need to upgrade samba or something? Please help!!!
Thanks!

The following should do it:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
./ifdown ifcfg-eth1
To restart it, cd to the same place and use
./ifup ifcfg-eth1

Subject: Fetchmail timeouts
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 22:09:23 +0000
Hi,
I'm having some problems with fetchmail on a dial-up (ppp) connection.
I haven't used it since I upgraded to kernel 2.2.x, and now it has
stopped working.
It connects to my pop server and authenticates OK, but times out when it
starts downloading messages.
It reports:
reading message 1 of 21 (2931 bytes) .fetcmail: timeout after 134675440
seconds
waiting for server to respond.
fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from
pop.swinternet.net
fetchmail: Query status=7
The timeout figure is bogus, as it is set at 300 seconds. I download
messages fine and immediately with a pop client such as Kppp or
Netscape.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nik

Jason,
This one is so simple, that I am afraid people may ignore it.
Ufortunately, I am at work and my Linux box is at home, so I am quoting from
memory, but just try typing
gcc --version
or
gcc -v
and you should get an answer. You can also check the gcc man page by typing
man gcc
in your, say, xterm window (if you are running X) or on the console and
check the options to the gcc command. One of them should display the
current version.
Hope this helps,
Andy

sounds to me you upgraded OK, apart from the following:
I think you need to run depmod -a manually. On my system it did not run
automatically from rc.d
ipportfw is replaced by ipchains so you need that package to get
masquerading to work again.
I had to modify some settings also in my /etc/conf.modules to get stuff
working again, although I had no probems with my network card

Or for non-redhat users, http://www.linuxhq.com/ has a very good list of
things (as always) that you'll need to get. (With a new kernel comes a
pile of new and replacement toys -- many of the old ones won't work.)

Winmodems slough off a lot what used to be handled in hardware onto
software, making it a lot cheaper to manufacture but also makes them
incompatible with anything but Windows, another part of Micro$haft's master
plan to dominate the known world. You can tell if an internal modem is one
of these purposely crippled ones if it says 'winmodem' anywhere on the box
or in the manual. Sometimes you can tell by looking at the the card itself
and see if it is far less 'populated' than most other internal modems, and
if you cannot set the IRQ or COM port by hand. Or, if it just won't work
with Linux no matter what you do. External modems don't suffer from this
disease, so I'd stick with an external modem if I were you.

First thing first, is your ethernet card PNP? If so, go to the
vendor's web site an see if they have an utility that'll allow you to
permanently set the IRQ and I/O of the ethernet card. That'll fix your
detection problem.
If that's not the problem, are you using LILO? If so, I believe you
can pass the IRQ and I/O parameters of the ethernet card with a line in
/etc/lilo.config. Try reading the LILO HOWTO.

You need to set the gateway and DNS server. DNS info should be entered
in /etc/resolve.conf. As to setting the gateway, I don't know where
that is located with RH 5.2, but with Slackware, it's set in
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

Note that I use Slackware so location of these files may not be the
same as RH.
I think your problem is the PnP ethernet card, see if you can set the
IRQ and I/O permanently and RH should be able to autodetect and most of
your problems would simply go away :-).
Good luck,

The kernel HOWTO provides some general guidlines for updating the
kernel. When you unpack the kernel source there is a README file in the
linux directory, check that for how to build the kernel. also in the
linux/documentation directory read the Changes files, this describes
kernel changes and other dependent packages that will need to be
upgraded, compiler, linker, libraries etc.

gcc -v
will tell you the version and where it is installed. 2.7.2.3 is the
lowest acceptable version (according to my kernel 2.2.1 documentation).
Many, many ftp sites will have various versions of gcc. If you
want .rpm files then the home site for your distribution is the best
place to look. Otherwise check for a mirror site near you on www.gnu.org.

Well, there's a command called "hostid", and it makes a function call to
"sethostid" and/or "gethostid". However, it is not required that they return
unique values. For example, my Linux box (Cyrix processor) returns a number
that converts back to my IP address. That IP address may vary from time to
time. Some Digital UNIX boxes I just tried all return 0 for hostid. Some Sun
boxes return unique (at least unique between the few I looked at) values, and
they are not related to the IP address. However, the Sun boxes do not
constitute "every unix box in existance[sic]".

Winmodem is not a bad idea by itself. Lack of driver is the problem.
Same goes for USB devices. I wouldn't touch either one until drivers
are available for DOS, Win31, Win95 and Linux.

Subject: NFS w/2.2.x, won't allow mounting of shares
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 00:09:27 +0000
I've upgraded to 2.2.x kernel (currently 2.2.3), and installed the knfsd
utilities, as well as compiling in the NFS and NFSD options in the
kernel. I'm running RH 5.1, somewhat upgraded to 5.2, with a mix or
more recent utilities to accomodate the new kernel. Pretty much
anything that needed to be upgraded for the new kernel has been.
As far as I can tell, the format for the exports file hasn't changed,
but the docs for knfsd are idiotically sparse.
So, my kernel (2.2.3), is compiled with the following network file
systems options:
#
# Network File Systems
#
# CONFIG_CODA_FS is not set
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_SUN=y
CONFIG_SUNRPC=y
CONFIG_LOCKD=y
CONFIG_SMB_FS=y
# CONFIG_SMB_WIN95 is not set
CONFIG_NCP_FS=m
# CONFIG_NCPFS_PACKET_SIGNING is not set
# CONFIG_NCPFS_IOCTL_LOCKING is not set
# CONFIG_NCPFS_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_NCPFS_NFS_NS=y
CONFIG_NCPFS_OS2_NS=y
CONFIG_NCPFS_MOUNT_SUBDIR=y
I have knfsd installed and running:
root:reliant linux$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs status
rpc.statd (pid 1159) is running...
rpc.mountd (pid 1177) is running...
rpc.nfsd is stopped
nfsd (pid 1373) is running...
rpc.rquotad (pid 1168) is running.
AFAIK, /etc/exports is correct (I don't *think* the format changed for
2.2.3, did it?):
/usr/src ds9(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr/IBMdb2/V5.0/doc/en_US/html ds9(rw,no_root_squash)
/home/db2inst1/sqllib/java ds9(rw,no_root_squash)
/home/me2v/projects ds9(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr/local/netscape *.voyager.home(ro,no_root_squash)
When I try to mount (any) one of the shares on my other machine, I get
the following results:
root:local $ uname -nr
ds9.voyager.home 2.0.36
root:local $ mount reliant:/usr/local/netscape netscape/ -t nfs
mount: reliant:/usr/local/netscape failed, reason given by server:
Permission denied
/var/log/messages on reliant tell me:
Mar 16 18:02:37 reliant mountd[1177]: authenticated mount request from
ds9.voyager.home:762
Mar 16 18:02:37 reliant mountd[1177]: getfh failed: Operation not
permitted
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? All the docs said to
switch to knfsd instead of the (not maintained-)nfs-server, and I did,
but now I'm having all sorts of problems. What gives? Wasn't the
"complete rewrite" supposed to be faster and more efficient? This has
been fairly frustrating, and as far as I can tell, everything is
configured properly.
