What they are trying to say, it's not LM or Linux that's at fault. Linux politely asks the BIOS how much memory and it got an answer. It wasn't right, but it got an answer. some other OS's ask in a different way and get the right answer more often. Linux is not a very mature OS from my point of view and there is a lot of strange hardware out there and it's not 100% compatible with it. It's really a retorical question, but who is at fault, Linux or hardware when it gets a wrong answer? It used to be a big problem for many OS's.

[expert] Banner page trailing a print job.
I have an HP LJ 2100 printer with an external HP JetDirect with an IP address in it, 192.168.0.20 and am using lpr on my Linux systems and the HP LJ 6 Postscript driver. One problem, I have is that there is a trailing banner page that is annoying at best to me. How do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance. Lyle
RE: [expert] SMB Help Please.
I have been playing with SAMBA here with Linux and found that there are known problems with it. Recently Microsoft changed the algorithm used to encrypt passwords(WinNT SP3) and SAMBA hasn't caught up with that. You need to enable plain text passwords on your Windows machines and this problem should go away. See Microsoft technical articles #Q187228 and Q166730 for the registry entries to enable plain text passwords.(which are not really plain text, but that's another subject) -Original Message- From: Sean Armstrong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 2:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] SMB Help Please. Here's the deal, I'm able to use gnomba to see the NT computer on the NT network that I want to mount. I've got user access to this computer. But when I give it my username and password, it refuses to let me in. So I thought this might be a problem with gnomba and decided to use the smbmount command. It gave back a positive name query response from the correct NT box and then asked for a password.

RE: [expert] Network goes away after some idle time
What kind of NIC's are we talking about? And how do we know that it's not your ISP that's blocking the pings? Where do the traceroute's end? A traceroute when it works and when it fails would be usefull here. Also my ISP changed routers last summer and they now block all pings & traceroutes from the outside world. It's also possible that your ISP has timeouts against keeping track a route to your linux gateway and that sending a ping is just refreshing their router tables. Lyle -Original Message- From: AS T [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 28, 2000 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Network goes away after some idle time I have the following problem on my linux gateway machine (at my home). The machine has two NIC cards. Eth0 is DHCP via adsl. Eth1 has static ip for my internal network. IP_MASQ is on to forward packets from my internal network. Everything works nicely, except that if I went to work and tried to ping my home (gateway) machine I notice that the ping does not "always" respond. I tried to track this and found out that eth0 seems to "fall a sleep" once in a while. However, my internal network has never had any problem getting out. All I can say is that once eth0 falls a sleep I would have to try later and it will somehow wake up by itself (no reboot or anything is required to get to work again, just waiting about 10-30 minutes). APM is turned off on the BIOS and the OS. The only way I was able to remedy this is to have the gateway machine ping an external site (ex. www.yahoo.com) every 1 minute. With the ping on, I can alawys get to my gateway machine from work. I have few peopel on the web that have the same problem and none could figure out what the story is. Any help is highly appreciated. Thansk __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
[expert] RE:
You need to double check the IRQ setting. Win95/98 will fudge and still work if that setting is wrong. Linux is not so forgiving. If your system has a bios setting to hard set the comm port that would be better. I have seen screwy things like this solved by hard setting the comm ports. The messages you get back are really telling you that the system is not talking properly to the modem. Go into the Control Panel under Win95 and select the modem applett. Click on Diagnostics and select your modem and then select more info. If Win95 can talk to the modem there, the port & IRQ settings shown are more reliable than in the Control Panel.

I'm running Mandrake/Helios/kde-1.1.2 on a K6-2/300, dual booting with Win95. When I log, in runlevel 5, startx gives me the following messages (with the process hanging on the gray screen): AUDIT: : 07 2000: 570x: client 1 rejected from local host xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server lib: client is not authorized to connect to server The same thing happens whether I'm root or a user and in both runlevel 5 and 3. As far as I know all that I did was recycle Linux as I needed Win95. The previous shutdown process was without any errors or warnings as far as I can recall. A second problem has resurfaced. Without going into great detail I now have a new external Hayes Accura V.90/Flex External Dual-Mode Modem. I got the new modem to use primarily with Linux, and am shifting the 56K internal PCI modem to the other machine in my LAN. Win95 finds the modem on COM2 (where I want it) at address 2F8 with IRQ 3. However, when I attempt to dial out, Win95 tells me that the modem is being used by another dial-up networking application or another program. Perhaps this will give some insight to those of you who know what you're doing. In Linux I made the link ttyS1--->modem. Kppp tells me 'Sorry the modem is busy' while minicom says that 'You are ready on line hang up" but the hang up command has no effect. Thanks in advance. --- Stephen P.

[expert] A couple of questions
I just installed LM 6.0 and had a couple of questions. I know these sound like newbie questions, but I am not getting any answers over there. I just cann't quite figure out security. I am used to Netware and WinNT file system security and just cann't figure how it works in linux. Any good reading or FAQ's? I tried to set rights high in the directory tree and the rights don't seem to flow down or am I missing something? And group rights just don't work the way I would suspect based on my background with Netware & WinNT. Also FTP rights. I want to allow r/w rights for FTP to the default Apache directory and just cann't put my finger on where to set that. Pointers to a good book or a good FAQ would also be most welcome. Thanks in advance, Lyle
