[newbie] Installing latest Samba tar
Hi there I have installed Mandrake 8.0 on a spare pc with an idea to create a data backup server. Did this with the Samba version that came with ie 2.0.7. However due to system administrators warning me that it is now a security risk, I decided to upgrade to latest version - 2.2.5(they said this should solve the samba problem atleast). I have tried everything to do this but can't seem to get it right. Can someone tell me if they've done this successfully? I need to know the steps taken to get this right. Tried rpms(http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Ma ndrake/updates/8.0/RPMS/[page=0]and rpmsfind.net) and get dependancy errors - try to install the files that are requested and more dependancies - gave up there. Tried a compile from source - halfway successful. Seems files where automatically installed into the wrong directory and when I copied over to right one seems i missed a file dealing with passwords - got stuck there. Services still start up ie smb and nmb(ver 2.2.5) but cannot create new users etc. there must be a simple way to do this! Please help! I need to know how to update packages on Mandrake in order to keep security conscious. Desparate Sudhashen Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Nasty OT question. NTFS

I'm not sure if it plays nice with NTFS, so test first. Works great with FAT32, for what that's worth. * Partition Resizer, available through tucows.com. DOS based freeware but not open source. It strives to be a freeware alternative to Partition Magic. Again, I'm not sure if it does NTFS. Good luck, Franki. If nothing works and you have to do the format-and-reinstall dance, install Windows as FAT32 rather than NTFS if possible. (If you're on a local network, check with your sysadmin first.)

RE: [newbie] Nasty OT question. NTFS
Hi Warren, I'll look into those for future reference, but this box is used for testing perl cgi scripts (so I can make sure the ones I write on my linux box work in winblows as well.) Since the system is running IIS (fully patched of course and not running on the default port) I have little confidence in its security and FS based file access permissions are important to me,, So you won't catch me doing it on FAT32. I got hacked once years ago with Wu-FTP on a Redhat 6 based system and it made me so paranoid that I can't stand the idea that I am hackable.. (I ended up with 20 usernames on that system I didn't recognise and alot of bitchX sessions running.) I am playing with Nessus now to see if any of my systems have holes I am a script kiddie for my own servers. (always trying to hack them to see if I can.)

Re: [newbie] IP address
Frank, I think this is CIDR notation for subnet masks. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is really the 10-base notation of a binary masking system: .... (Notice equals 255, and equals 0.) The 1s indicate which part of the number is the network, and the 0s represent the machine number. The mask is always in two distinct pieces, so .. .1100 is possible, but never something intermixed like .11001100.10101000. So if you know the last 6 bits are the all 0s (for machine address), you also know then remaining 26 bits are all 1s and represent the network address. CIDR notation takes advantage of this numbering trick to represent the whole submask by only counting how many bits represent machine numbers. So 192.168.0.1/8 is 192.168.0.1/... or 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0. Clear as mud? Miark In some previous posts I have noticed people refering to their IP address range as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx.

[newbie] Home Network Problems
Hi, OK my home net, at the moment is as below: CableModem-XP PC--Linux PC Now I have some questions: 1. I have Internet Connection Sharing on the XP box, this doles out an IP to the Linux box via DHCP. I can browse from the Linux box, read news, email and ftp no problems. However when I try and use Gnomemeeting to the XP box I get a load of DNS queries coming from the Linux box, directed to the XP box, which it reckons is a DNS server, trying to find out who has the name of the linux box. It then tries to open the connection to the XP box, it sends the out TCP packets and the Q.931 SETUP packet. Netmeeting however does not respond. 2. I also have a problem when trying to configure samba via the browser, it comes back telling me connection to localhost is broken, anyone know how to cure that one ? 3. Is it a good idea to update the /etc/hosts file from the dhcp reply with the name/address doled out ? This would stop the DNS queries as the host would be fully resolved in the /etc/hosts file. Thanks for any help. Richard. PS Soon WiFi will be installed to replace the XP box as the NAT. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Can't find fpc compiler
I've installed the Free Pascal Compiler, fpc, included on the 8.1 installation disks, but the compiler doesn't seem to be installed. Man fpc tells me that the command syntax is fpc [options] [sourcefile], but even something as simple as fpc -h produces fpc: command not found. Indeed, the Mandrake Software Manager shows me over four hundred files in the fpc rpm, but none of them are named fpc. In order to run the command fpc, I need a binary executable named fpc, correct? I've read the man page, the readme, the faq, and the freepascal.org site, but everything takes for granted that the compiler will work after installing the rpm.

Re: [newbie] Can't find fpc compiler
I've read the man page, the readme, the faq, and the freepascal.org site, but everything takes for granted that the compiler will work after installing the rpm. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? One would expect that 'fpc' is indeed installed somewhere, perhaps /usr/bin, with the other support files somewhere else (/usr/share/fpc or someplace like that). Can you verify that 'fpc' is in /usr/bin? I suppose you tried this multiple times, and I'll assume you installed the software from an RPM, so it would make sense that the files would be stored in a sane place. There are probably three possibilities: /usr/bin not in PATH - but I find that highly unlikely; otherwise not much else would work. It could be that the installation directory is not in your path, or the install is broken in some respect (i.e., by not placing the compiler binary or at least a link to it in /usr/bin). you installed the source rpm by mistake, so you'd have to compile it, but that doesn't seem that likely. Did the filename end in src.rpm? The other possibility might explain the situation -- but it's rather arcane. Under some situations I have noticed that 'bash' does not see updates as new programs are added - but this is not something that is expected to happen, as it is with csh and its derivatives. csh's behavior is such that you have to type 'rehash' to get it to reread the files in $PATH. As far as I can tell, it's not supposed to be necessary when using bash, but there are a few occasions where I've had to do just that -- (type 'rehash') in order for the shell to recognize the new command. I don't know why this is -- maybe it's something having to do with he buffers / vfs file layer. At any rate, typing 'rehash' at the command prompt (or exit relogin) might actually work.

[newbie] 120Gb Maxtor 4G120J6 - Mandrake hangs on boot
Hi everyone, What is it they say on all the talk shows? Long time listener, first time caller :-) Anyway, I have a file server on my home network running out-of-the-box Mandrake 8.2 I'm trying to upgrade the drives put a 120Gb Maxtor in there. I initially tried putting it in alongside the existing drives so I could boot my existing Mandrake partition/format/mount the drive from in there - but it hung on Partition Check during the first boot. In an effort to isolate the problem, I've now pulled all the other drives out it's: hba:Maxtor 4G120J6 120Gb hdb:Creative 52x CDROM and I'm trying to do a fresh install from CD onto the new drive. And still it hangs as it loads the initial kernel from CD (i.e. straight after the Press ENTER to install screen). The IDE part of the boot process reads: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 78 PCI: Assigned IRQ 10 for device 00:0f.0 ALI15X3: chipset revision 32 ALI15X3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x2000-0x2007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0x2008-0x200f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: Maxtor 4G120J6, ATA DISK drive hdb: CREATIVE CD5220, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: 240121728 sectors (122942 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CMS=14946/255/63, (U)DMA Partition check: hda: ...and then it hangs there for as long as I leave it. I know the drive is physically fine and the hardware is up to supporting a drive of that size cos a) Mandrake's happy with 60 80Gb drives on that machine. b) In this new minimum configuration, I did a successful install of Windows 2000 onto the 120Gb drive It's a Pentium 233MMX on an S7AX motherboard with an onboard Acer M5229 IDE controller. BIOS identified the drive as: Maxtor 4G120J6, LBA ATA 33, 122Gb So my question is: what's Windows 2000 doing that Mandrake isn't and how can I steer Mandrake in the right direction? I really don't want to run Windows 2000 on this machine. Regards Jon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Upgrading from 7.1 to 8.2
Andre, That's a nice jump your thinking about making, I would suggest 1st. backing up your IMPORTANT FILES, next do a fresh install..(do NOT delete your home directory (if important info is there) during the install!!) I've tried to do an update before from 7.2 to 8.0 and I ran into some file conflictsbut after I did a fresh install, all worked fine.. As for GUI's YES.. there is a gui for the upgrade but I'm sure most if not all of the fokes on this list and others too will STRONGLY suggest that you do a fresh install. I hope I helped a bit... take care and GOD BLESS Gavin On Sunday 25 August 2002 06:06 pm, you wrote: With the files I downloaded from the Mandrake website, is is possible to upgrade from v7.1 to 8.2? Or do I have to trash the old OS and start from scratch? If so will I be able to simply save my files to floppy? How does the upgrade work (is everything done from the command line or is there a spiffy GUI to use now?)? Thanx. Andre--- - Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
