[expert] multiple smbd spawning
hi, I'm using mandrake 7.1 and using samba-2.06. my problem is that multiple smbd -D are spawning so much so that the server slows down drastically. i've check the docs, logs and other mailing list they mentioned it might be an NFS problem, rite i've disabled NFS and still within an hour i can get anywhere between 10-20 smbd -D processes running. Any one knows what can possible cause the smb daemon to spawn and spawn and spawn? thanxs in advance

I have been playing with SAMBA here with Linux and found that there are known problemsGRIN 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. When I entered in the correct password for my username I got the following response back: session setup failed : ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (ACCESS denied.) smbmount: login failed Could not umount /mnt/share: Device or resource busy smbmount: exit Now /mnt/share is the directory I set up to mount the share directory from the NT box. I'm guessing because of the previous errors the smbumount command could not dismount this drive right away. Are my acces problems due to my SAMBA or to the NT network I'm connected to? I'm running Mandrake 6.1 on a 133 Mhz pentium DELL computer. Any Ideas? Please don't say contact the SAMBA people because I am never able to get an answer from them.

If I am at the console, I have this error message: IP address sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast. Because this message appears million times in every 10 seconds, it makes impossible to work on the console. What causes this error, and how I can get rid of it?! What is ICMP anyway? If I could just suppress it, that would be fine, 'cause otherwise everything works. The actual IP address is a computer on my LAN network, none of the computers I am dealing with ( I mean not the printer server, or primary DNS, or something I specified in the setup) Any help would be really appreciated...

[expert] Routing + multiple nics
how do u configure the routing table to move all traffic from one nic to the other and vice versa? I'm setting up a network traffic system where we need to capture data going from our WAN to our LAN and vice versa. In short the linux box is only suppose to route between eth0 and eth1 while eth2 is used for telnetting. i've put in route add -net network address subnetmask eth0 and route add -net network address subnetmask eth1 it still doesn't route any traffic between nics. I'm using 2 3C509 and 1 3C905 nic. All the cards are up and running.
Re: [expert] Boot hang with 2 eth cards
oh yeah i forgot... for certain cards the settings are hardwired eg 3c509 u need a diagnistics software to change the settings. hope this helps... alann [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 09/14/99 09:06:19 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Hamka B Hj Suleiman/SKO/PCSB/Petronas) Subject: Re: [expert] Boot hang with 2 eth cards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: alan/paul, if u plan to use the multiple nics do this: edit ur conf.modules add alias eth0 nic module add alias eth1 nic modules add options nic module irq=x,y io=a,b -- this line is for if u have to similar cards and uneed to separate out the irq/io. in factt u can pass these arguments to lilo lilo: linux ether=irq #, io #, eth0 ether=irq #, io #, eth1 Appreciate it, but been there, done that..

[expert] proxy servers and ip masquerade
hi, in my company we have a proxy server connected to the internet. The server will only allow certain ip addresses to go out. So i set up one linux box to masquerade giving it an ip address which the proxy server will allow to go out. When i change the NT client to point to that linux box as a gateway, i keep getting acess denied when i try to surf on the nt machine even though its gateway is pointed to the linux machine. Surfing on the linux machine works but not for the masquearded clients. any help much appreciated. sample rc.masquerade: ipchains -P forward DENY ipchaind -A forward -s 170.38.195.0/255.255.252.0 -j MASQ
