Samba as a primary controller
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi In recent week's I've decide to do thing's properly and setup a proper dns/dhcp server (using dnsmasq) and using samba for authentication (mostly for the windows clients). I'm using a pretty much standard debian sarge smb.conf just a couple of edits about the domain controller. The dns/dhcp server I want to use as the domain controller and my file server as secondary controller (i dont need it to be a bdc). Now the windows clients can see the domain but when trying to connect to it, I get presented with a username and password. I try my regular user (which I added a smb passwd for), but that fails. Have I missed something off the smb.conf ? I tired added admin users = d3c3it but that didn't make a difference. Second question, is it possible to authenticate with say server1 and then access the resources on server2 without say having to add the users again to server2. Is it possible for both samba installs to talk to each other or am I asking the impossible? I have read the samba help pages but neither of these questions seem to be answer enough for me. Anyway cheers for any replies - -- ++ | | Glyn Tebbutt | | +--+ | www: http://www.plasticmongoose.com| | GPG: http://www.plasticmongoose.com/d3c3it/misc/d3c3it.gpg | | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | || | Damn you, vile woman!

Can I start the woody-sarge upgrade by updating, first, aptitude and perl (that seems to be conventional wisdom) then installing sarge's apt-cacher, and then pointing the sources.list to apt-cacher running on the very machine that is being upgraded to sarge? In the future, when further updates take place, will apt-cacher know how to update itself while it's being used to download and cache its replacement? Since you are serving machines on a network, you really want apt-proxy. Apt-cacher serves the same purpose as apt-proxy and works just as well, in my experience. I switched to it before apt-proxy v2 hit Sarge and found it to be better than apt-proxy v1 and it would start streaming the file faster (helping to avoid timeouts that I had problems with in apt-proxy). Since you stated that apt-proxy is better, do you have some evidence or a reason for your statement, or is it just preference? HTH, Jacob I'd very much like to know this too. What are the relative merits of apt-proxy and apt-cacher. I hadn't realized there were two such programs. --hendrik I have used both apt-proxy and apt-cacher. Both work, but apt-cacher is much simpler and easier, and when I last looked apt-proxy was not really part of Sarge. OTOH, I think apt-proxy handles synonyms for distributions better than apt-cacher. In apt-cacher, there is a problem with switching from etch to testing, or testing to etch. Apt-cacher seems not to preserve the information that allows the actual apt-get instance on a host to recognize that these are merely synonyms for the same thing. As a consequence, if you do such a switch, you get to download the same stuff a second time. But how often do you do that? No more than once, if you are using apt-cacher ;-). Apt-cacher seems to me to be a tiny, and beautifully simple hack, that solves the problem. It works for me. JM$.02. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] I to used both apt-proxy and apt-cacher and prefer apt-cacher as I had a weird timeout delay on apt-proxy and it was'nt included within sarge (when I started looking at theses solutions) apt-cacher works fanastic though, I just reinstalled my server and used the old *deb's apt-cacher had stored, didn't have to download a thing, saved alot of bandwidth. I don't know why someone said apt-cacher doesn't store the packages.gz as my setup (and its a new setup) stores the *.gz files fine. Also my machine isn't internet facing it's an internel server (behind a firewall) so i've never come upto problems with routering of ports.

But i didnt understand how to use it, so i thought id try gentoo, as it had great docs. For a while it was fanastic. i loved it, i got the buzz that the whole machine was built for my hardware. But after a year i became tired of the constant compiles it just got on my nerves and i started to notice that the proformance was that hot. So i gave debian a shot. This time knowing what i was doing and how linux worked. I had my whole desktop up in less than 3hrs *inc kernel and sid upgrade* compared to the 3days of compiling for gentoo. To my surprise it was faster for me. Unless i used the wrong use flags? but i actually found it alot better for my use. the only thing i wish i had on debian was mplayer in the main pool, but thats easierly fixed and xorg, but with sarge coming out soon i can understand that. I personally think what debian is doing is nooo different to what MS does. Think aobut it, an upgrade every 2-3 years, except, obv more stable lol and secure. But if you want to constantly compile by all means but i personally choose debian, so much so that all my systems run it and ive donated money to debian as well.

New sarge install question
Hi all i've recently used the new sarge-netinst image to install debian on both my desktop and server. Both worked a treat, but today somebody said to me i will have to reinstall again when the install becomes final. I presumed a apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade would simply keep me up to date.

New sarge install trying to find modules

The installer was really smooth, so smooth i didn't realise it was done and now i have a fully configured and setup system. Everything working. But i've got a slight annoyance, it doesn't stop the computer from functioning its just a pain. To start with, i've compiled my own kernel, with the src's from kernel.org (it's just the way i do thing's, added my own patches etc) which works fine but on boot something is getting called, i've checked the udev configs and hotplug, which is trying to find forcedeth (my nic) and various other modules. All for my hardware but this is from when i was using 2.4 which is the default on the install. As i've compiled all these into the kernel, it just errors, everything keeps booting, but i'd still like to know the config for this calling is. If anyone knows it would be great to let me know.
