[newbie] stat-ed
Hi, I am was running fine Mandrake 7.0 kernel 2.2.14-15mdk on a i586. I am using SAMBA to provide access between Linux and a couple of windows machines. One of the windows machines (98SE), has a habit of committing suicide at regular intervals (Thanks Micro$oft). After I have resuscitated the windows machine, and try to access it through midnight commander, I get a largered banner that says :File PROXY exists but cannot be stat-ed: Input/output error. If, from the command line, I cd PROXY, then do an ls, I get smb_retry: signal failed, error -3 smb_retry: signal failed, error -3 ls:.:Input/output error Any ideas how to re-establish the link without having to reboot linux?? TIA Barry
[newbie] Portmapper failure
Hi, Up until this morning everything was running fine Mandrake 7.0 kernel 2.2.14-15mdk on a i586. When I rebooted everything went fine until the line after "starting linuxconf". The system appeared to freeze, but some minutes later the following message appeared: mount: RPC: Portmapper failure - RPC: Timed out. After a couple more minutes, the start continues as normal. Everthing APPEARS to run OK. Any ideas what I need to do to get a clean start up please TIA Barry
[newbie] tar help please
Hi, I've tried looking at the tar man page, but still cant get any joy with tar. I have a directory called archive, with numerous subdirectories. I want to save all these files as a single file called all_archive, while preserving the dirctory structure and permissions, and then finally compress the whole thing. Can some one show me the correct command please Thanks Barry
[newbie] Command Execution
Can someone please explain the concept behind ./ in executing a command. If I am in the directory where the programme resides and type the programme name, I get a: "bash: programme name: command not found" message If, from the same directory I type ./programme name everything works as advertised. Thanks Barry
Re: [newbie] FTP andf Telnet
Thanks for the response folks, I stupidly assumed that the telnet server had been installed we all know what assumed means right? In answer to Oves question, I telnet in using both linux and w98 machines, w98 works ok for the limited work I do through telnet. Secondly, I uninstalled the BERO-ftpd and installed the wu-ftp, and it now works. Thanks for the quick responses, and sorry for the duplicate posting, seems to be a six hour turn around on mail here sometimes!!

[newbie] FTP andf Telnet
This has to be a case of missing the obvious!! I have installed Manfrake 6.1 (2.2.13-22mdk). I can FTP and TELNET OUT of the box, but I can't telnet in, no connection is ever established I can't even "telnet 127.0.0.1", all I get is : Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Escape character is '^]' Connection closed by foreign host If I FTP in from either the host, or anothr machine on the lan, I get all the right prompts, but then always: 530 Login incorrect Login Failed. This occurs whether I try to log in as root, or any other user. Any ideas, I know its something stupid I've forgotten to do, but I am currently brain deas and can't think what it is TIA Barry
