Re: [newbie] Samba question - making shares invisible
Mark, The first thing is that you say that you're trying to get the Windows box to see the Linux box. The next thing is you talk about running smbclient, which is used for accessing the Windows box from the Linux box, so I'm a little confused. The smbclient log message? I'm guessing it's telling you that the computer called ALEXHOME is not presenting Samba shares, though it probably exists. If you attempt to access a computer that doesn't exist, smbclient says "connection to failed", so I'm guessing that ALEXHOME exists, but isn't talking Samba. Is ALEXHOME the Linux box or the Windows box, and which way are you trying to connect? Julian.

Re: Re: [newbie] Samba question - making shares invisible
Hi again Dexter, thanks for giving this so much thought :-) I'm afraid your suggestion does not give me what I want. I don't want to limit access to files in the share, I want the whole share to not appear at all for those logins who don't have access to it. Here's an example, which should make it more obvious. Suppose I have a share called [letters_from_girlfriends] (I don't, but for the example, say I do). It isn't enough just to have my wife not to have access to it, I'd rather she didn't even see the share name at all. Got it? I could do this:- valid users = @parents browseable = @parents it would work. The browseable flag would be a function of the current login. Unfortunately, browseable is a boolean, and doesn't take a user or group name as an argument, and therefore is either always true or always false, irrespective of who is logged in. julian.

RE: [newbie] Edit lilo
don't know about your XP problem, but I imagine lilo or grub would work fine. as for editing lilo, you just open /etc/lilo.conf in an editor and edit away.. you could try: mcedit /etc/lilo.conf or pico /etc/lilo.conf you could even use vi, but unless you know it, don't even try. just remember that to update lilo afterwards, type: lilo at the prompt and it will tell you of any syntax errors and write the changes to the mbr. good luck. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Robert L Sprowls Sent: Saturday, 15 December 2001 12:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Edit lilo I could use some help with two problems: 1.)

For the most part all you need do to utilize the clipboard feature in Mandrake is to highlight the text that you're wanting to grab. that places the selected text onto the clipboard. Then, to paste all you need do is click the middle mouse button (could be the mouse wheel too these days) or click both the left and right mouse buttons at the same time if you've got just a two button mouse. That will paste the contents of the clipboard. And yes...even in a terminal window this procedure works. -- Mark Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.1 - 2:05pm up 1:41, 2 users, load average: 0.07, 0.09, 0.09 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: Re: [newbie] Samba question - making shares invisible
Just like "browseable = no", right? No, I want the share to show up or not show up as a function of it's accessibility by the current login - i.e. login-dependant, rather than definition-dependant.

Re: [newbie] linux networking
OK, at least with Evolution I can read html email. But you will notice how many people (rightly) complained. Your network setup looks good on first glance. You have a nice non-routing IP address, and your default gateway is on the same network. Questions: What are the IP addresses of your other machines? (You don't have any duplicate IP addresses, do you?) Did you specify the IP address, or do you have dhcp running? How do you connect ot the Internet (dial-up, dsl, cable modem, etc.)? Have you tried pinging your machines yet? If so, what was the outcome of that? Hang in there, we are trying to help you!

[newbie] Mozilla Flash Plugin is slow
Here's a forward for a fellow linux-newbie -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: Mandrake newbie list Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 14:36:05 -0600 From: Warren Post <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Dennis Myers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'd like to ask a favor. My ISP just got itself blacklisted by ordb.org and now I can't post to the newbie list. Could you do me the favor of posting the following on my behalf? I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks again, Warren text to post == Subject: Mozilla and Flash I've downloaded the Flash 5 plug-in for Mozilla (labeled for Netscape, actually) and installed it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Now Mozilla is exceedingly slow: displaying something as simple as "about:plugins", for example, might take four minutes. I removed the Flash plug-in and Mozilla behaves normally again. I've already checked Mozilla's and Macromedia's websites for help but can find no reference to this problem. Any tips, anyone? My cybercafe has a regular customer who always visits a favorite Flash site and I want to be ready for him.

XFree86 provides 'xclipboard' and KDE (kdebase) provides 'Klipper' which I suspect is just a front end for xclipboard. I would think all other WM's also have a FE for xclipboard. It's been in every download edition since Mandrake began. ~ $ which xclipboard /usr/X11R6/bin/xclipboard Use of copying, cutting and pasting should be automatic, or if your WM provides a FE like klipper, you can click on it's icon on the panel to get the last half dozen items copied to the clipboard. -- Tom Brinkman _ South Texas, USA_ You'll never see all the places, or read all the books, but fortunately, they're not all recommended.

plaes, when sending to this list, turn off HTML formating in your mail, it looks like this to a number of us, and some of the best folks here filter out HTML mail so they will never see your question. the commands you question are typed (as root) in a text console or term. do you use KDE? is there an icon that looks like a little square chalk board on the menu bar? if you click it does it bring up a window? can you type in that window? if so type (without the quotes) su (then you will be asked foa password. type in the root password, do not worry if you do not see anything reported to the screen, just hit enter when the pasword is complete. "will not connect to network" is pretty ambiguos, can you tell us exactly what you mean? is it that the cable can not be insearted in the network card connection? is it that in windows you do not see the linux box in "network neighborhood? is it that the linux box can not connect to the internet thrue the win XP box?

If you want a DIY approach a good place to start is kpackage. This will list all the rpms installed on your system divided into cats. When you select an rpm a short describe is given as to what the app does, any depends it has and what other pkgs it provides. For more in depth explains, many apps come with either manuals and/or help files. To access these open a terminal and enter: man 'package name' or 'package name' --help 2 examples: man samba This will display the samba manual : rpm --help This will display the rpm help file There are of course other resources that can be used, this list, google-linux, a 'good' linux refernce book (2 or 3 if you're like me).

Re: Re: [newbie] Samba question - making shares invisible
This probabally isn't what you want, but if you end a SMB share name with a '$' it will not show up in browse lists but will still be accessable (assuming you have rights to the share and the underlying files of course.) -Original Message- From: Julian Opificius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 10:44:01 -0600 Subject: Re: [newbie] Samba question - making shares invisible Thanks for the response Dexter.

Re: [newbie] Samba question - making shares invisible
Hello: Have you tried the veto files command? I have not used it, but the book I have has a description for it, which you might find helpful: veto files: Contains a list of file and directory names that are marked by Samba as not visible and cannot be accessed by users. Entires in the list are separated by the / character, and the ? and * wildcard characters can be used. For example, to veto access to Windows executables files on a file share use veto files = /*.exe/*.com/*.bat/. If the case-sensitive parameter is false, Samba will veto files regard to case. Hopefully, this command can help you solve your problem. Good luck...

[newbie] hangup script for remote work dialup box...
Hi all, I am working on the work dial up box, and it needs to be disconnected before I finish.. it has a dynamic IP address, and if I don't disconnect it, or it gets cut off or redials, it will have a different IP address and I won't know what it is.. so I made a file called logout, chmod it to 755 and in it I just put (apart from the bin/bash stuff) sleep 7200 killall wvdial then I ran the file (ie: logoff & ), I want it to sleep for 2 hours and then kill the connection.. I want it to do that if I am loged in or not.. if I get cutoff, or the box disconnects, will it still kill wvdial? if not, how can I make sure the file gets executed regardless of wether I am logged in or not. and I mean that without using crontab (hense the sleep.) I am logged in as root via ssh... any suggestions would be great. rgds Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

There is something not right with the network. I have a feeling it's got something to do with authentication somewhere on that LAN. Or, (the last time I saw this one of the machines responsible was a windows box - the novell client went south and killed the TCP/IP stack.)

Personally I choose the 70 Hz one, as it seems to work on more monitors, but if 74 works for you of course it is better. Just find a generic monitor that gives you display, even if it is ugly. Then you can use xvidtune to make the display look better. Onur Kucuk _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] pcmcia / harddrake driver question [long]
Hi, I have a XIRCOM Cardbus Realport 10/100/56k PCMCIA ethernet card. :) Long name. I can connect to the internet just fine, but HardDrake in DrakConf (or anything else as far as I can tell) can not identify my card. This hasn't been a problem untill now because I have no troubles connecting to the internet. But, following the MandrakeUser.org tutorials for setting up a home LAN, I need to have the proper modules for the card installed. Problem is, I don't know what these are, or whether or not they are already installed. HardDrake says Vendor: Xircom Model: Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 Kernel Module: CardBus:tulip_cb Bus Type: PCI Informations: This device hasn't been identified by HardDrake, please send `/proc/bus/*' files and this device ID `115d0003' to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Looking in /usr/src/linux-2.4.8/drivers/net/pcmcia/ I also see "xircom_cb.c". A search on the internet says I should use "xirc2ps_cs driver" included in the PCMCIA package. To make it easier, my questions are: 1) What information, specifically, should I send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? And how? (e.g. tar file?) 2) Which driver should I use, from where? 3) How do I install it/see if it is already installed? Thanks! -Paul Rodríguez _ Do You Yahoo!?

When the utility comes up you'll be looking at a menu list of items that can be selected. Choose "display configuration." this will allow you to configure your display. however, it sounds a lot like you're having very similar problems like I had when I bought my Phillips flat screen monitor. I was just about ready to take the darn thing back. That is until I tried the older version of XFree86. 3.3.6 I believe it was. I have a feeling though for this particular card you're going to want to try XFree86-4.1.0 with 3D accelerator for that high end vid card. Once you've gotten that installed trying setting the monitor up as a generic multi-sync refresh rate = 74hz that can do 1024 x 768 and 65 thousand colors. that should get you started. Once you've got all that working you can experiment with other color depths and stuff. -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.1 - 10:05pm up 4 days, 0 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

From time to time this happens. You will also want to make sure that sshserver is indeed running. Issue this command as root user on the machine: /etc/init.d/sshd status if ssh is running you'll see this come back to the terminal: [root@mdw1982 mdw1982]# /etc/init.d/sshd status sshd (pid 26115) is running... Once you've established that sshd is running next you will want to check the /etc/hosts.deny file for your windows machine's IP address. If it's there take it out. Then place it in the /etc/hosts.ignore file AND the /etc/hosts.allow file as well. After that is all finished do one more check of your Bastille-firewall.cfg file and test the connection. If the force is with you and you've got everything configured correctly you'll be able to connect. I've also attached a copy of my Bastille-firewall.cfg file for you to take a look at and work from if you need to. hope this helps. -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.1 - 11:05pm up 4 days, 1:00, 2 users, load average: 0.35, 0.21, 0.26 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Printers-Epson
Dear All, I still have not been able to get any printing going for my Epson Stylus color in LM 8.1. I have decided to get a new printer, probably an Epson. I am looking at so many different ones but if any one of you have a new Epson that works great with LM 8.1 would you let me know? Is there a noticeable difference between the Epson C80 and Epson Photo 780 for color quality especially concerning photos? Is there a difference in text quality and appearance between the two? I want a printer that I can do ink refills myself, also. Any suggestions including a different printer brand is welcome. I do not want to go through what I have been going through again trying to get my printer to work. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
