AW: Samba with WinXP

2002-06-12 Thread Peter Lieven
Hi,

make sure, you created a valid linux account with the same username as your
winxp user has.
create a samba user with the same username smbpasswd -a  and set
the identical password
as your windows user has and don't use a winxp user without a password. this
should work.
if you can still not connect please send your smb.conf

Betreff: Samba with WinXP


Hello,

I have problem with connecting to the samba server on my Debian box from
a WinXP machine.

I can connect to the samba server from all my other Linux box but I just
can't connect to it from an XP machine.  I can see the Debian Samba
server listing in the XP's WorkGroup place.   I got a message "account
not authorized to log in from this station" when I try to connect.

Is there any different setting in WinXP , some registry edit etc ?

tia

AW: sudden problems with masqueraded connections over a t-dsl line

2002-06-12 Thread Peter Lieven
many thanks karl, martin,waldemar and nicos,

in deep my provider changed its behaviour when dealing with oversized
packets. pinged ptp is still not possible, but this is only annoying
if you do a traceroute.

if anyone is experiencing the same problem, with kernel 2.4.3+ and recent
iptables the following will fix this issues:

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -o ppp0 --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j
CPMSS  --clamp-mss-to-pmtu

thanks
peter

You got to fix those linebreaks; they were so bad I *had* to reformat
things... And the odd uppercase letter wouldn't hurt either...

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with ADSL; I'm on dialup.

I presume that "ping" works OK? (you probably checked, but it's not
clear from what you write)

I've been suffering the same sort of problems. Symptoms were:
- Downloading of mail would work. Until a "big" email was being fetched,
  where it would appear as if the pop3 server just died (=timeout at my
  end)
- Web pages would download fine, but very large images would only ever
  partially download
- Setiathome would never manage to get a full work unit.

>From the firewall itself, everything would work; but anything behind the
firewall would suffer the above symptoms.

My workaround was to lower the MTU on my dialup interface - an mtu of
750 and using the --clamp-mss-to-pmtu (man iptables(8)) in the firewall
setup did the trick for me. I still doubt whether this is a *real*
solution; it feels more like a work-around. Also, it introduces a bit
more TCP/IP overhead (relatively speaking) and decreases the net
bandwidth available. But it works for me.

YMMV

Sounds odd. But then I don't know ADSL, so I can't comment.

sudden problems with masqueraded connections over a t-dsl line

2002-06-11 Thread Peter Lieven



since friday my isp 
german telekom changed some configuration in their routers.
everytime when i 
connect to remote host through my firewall who is 
masquerading
internal connections 
the connection to the remote host freezes after a certain number of bytes has 
been
transferred. i 
changed nothing on my firewall config. i asked the isp to reset my dsl port and 
check their
equipment. i also 
changed the masquerading port range in case they want to prevent their 
customers
from masquerading 
(don't ask why). when i ssh to my firewall and connect directly to the remote 
machine
everything is 
working fine. at the moment i installed some port forwarders on my firewall to 
connect directly
to a remote machine. 
if i use them or a some other local proxy it works fine. only masqueraded 
connections
are 
stalling
 
is there anyone out 
there who had the same experience or knows any workarounds or 
has
any ideas how i can 
find out what exactly freezes the connection.
 
one strange thing 
that came along with this that i'm not able to ping my p-t-p partner, but its 
pingable from
outside.
i even used a 
windows machine to do the dialip connection and nat via ics. same strange 
behaviour.
 
thanks for your 
help

AW: apic errors / interface crash on tyan 200t

2002-06-05 Thread Peter Lieven
the apic errors (hundreds look like these)
Jun  4 18:44:18 gw01 kernel: APIC error on CPU1: 02(02)
Jun  4 18:46:04 gw01 kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 02(02)

Jun  4 19:05:00 gw01 kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 08(02)

and the device crash appears in the system log this way:

after this eth1 is blown away. only a reboot brings it back to life

any ideas?

thanks peter

Unless only the nic and not the whole box does freeze, these two
problems are imho supposed to be independent from each other.  Kernel
eepro100 driver is known to be broken. So give Intels e100 module a try:

ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/2896/eng/e100-2.0.30.tar.gz

What error msgs do you get with APIC?

apic errors / interface crash on tyan 200t

2002-06-04 Thread Peter Lieven



i recently installed 
a new debian box (kernel 2.4.18smp) on a tyan200t
with 2 p3 1ghz 
cpus.
the box is one of 
our customer routers and runs iptables to trace the traffic
on several ips. the 
two onbard intel ethernet interfaces are connected
one to the backbone, 
the other to the customer switches.
 
the problem is, that 
the bos runs into serval kernel apic errors and sometimes
when the load gets 
higher the second interface crashes and becomes unusable.
the only solution i 
found for this is disabling apic at all. the box runs stable
so far, but the 
second cpu idles at 99,9%. this is not the way i want it to 
go.
 
does anyone now 
about an other way to fix this problem. bios update, kernel
patch, some other 
hack, special apic configuration, additional network cards?
 
your help would be 
much appreciated,
 
thanks
peter

but i want to remove the password option. is there a patch available?

which software is used for the debian lists?
