[newbie] Dhcp client issues with samba server and others

2003-10-08 Thread Daniel Buchanan
I have a laptop that's is running dhcp since i move around a lot with 
it.  For the most part everything works fine except for some services. 
Notably samba and ftp.  From what i can gather is these services are 
requiring an ip addy which is not available at the time they are started 
from the rc5.d path.  If I then login as root and restart the services 
everything works fine.  The error message i get from somba nmb service 
is no local interfaces.

ok that worked,  I now know that i'm attaching as nobody even though i 
should be attaching with my id.  I even went and maped the drive using 
the sign on as this user function in windoze.  I was under the 
impression that this should work.  No i don't have guest only selected 
but guest access allowed.

Samba log messages appear in /var/log/samba/log.user_name

The depth of messages you see depends on the logging level defined in your 
/etc/samba/smb.conf file
log level = 3  (should give you about the right level of detail)

After editing the file restart samba with
service smb restart
in a root terminal

Re: [newbie] Beware the PD virus

2003-07-23 Thread Daniel Buchanan
Only problem is that this virus will spread by targeting the 'weak' 
among the population.  These people get so infected that one starts to 
seriously consider removing them from the gene pool, for the good of the 
others. -p

Hello ,

There is a virus that goes around occasionally and causes a lot of
trouble. Is is usually spread via email, and since it is sent as plain
text it seems to be able to get through all antivirus programs.
It is one of the few computer viruses that seem to infect humans, and
indeed, the symptoms often show up first in the human, not the
computer. One of the first symptoms is that it makes people want to
reply to the email, and thus spread the virus even further - it is an
insidious virus. As with other viruses, some people suffer the effects
much more than others. It causes some people to behave in very odd,
sometimes violent ways.
Since AV programs do not stop this virus, it is up to each of us to
try and stamp it out. So, if you get a suspicious email that looks as
though it contains the 'Political Discussion' virus, make sure you DO
NOT make the infection worse by sending a reply to others, especially
if you are feeling upset or otherwise affected by the virus. If you
simply cannot control yourself, it is better to quarantine it to, say,
the OT list. People on that list should be aware of the dangers, since
the PD virus, and others, are often likely to infect that group.
Unfortunately, it is a common virus on Internet email lists.

doh, i should have see that.  Too many 'trees' in that directory.  Still 
need to figure out where i went wrong with the security setup, but 
hopefully seeing that log will help.

[newbie] samba security premissions.

2003-07-22 Thread Daniel Buchanan
I am trying to configure samba (from mandrake 8.2) to allow everyone to 
read a share but to allow only me to have write and delete premissions. 
I managed to successfully connect to the share from a windoze 2k machine 
using my samba user/password.  The linux,it's a laptop, and win2k 
machines are on different domain/workgroups.  I noticed that no 
conections ever show up in the all conections list nor in the one for 
the share as well.  I would really like to know where to look to see a 
login/activity log.  I'm attaching my .conf file as well.  The win2k 
machine is on a microbully network with a win2k server running as a pdc 
and the laptop is on the workgroup that runs at home.  I have never been 
able to do this type of configuration so i'm hopping it's just something 
simple.  I use webadmin for my system maintenance.



# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) 
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable

# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

Under CD Writer Config I have Mitsumi CR-4804TE which is correct. But
under CD Reader both Primary & Secondary are given the same Mitsumi

Are there any XCDRoast files I can manipulate? Has any one else had this

From your replies, I see that you do not know your way around Linux yet.

Better dump your lilo.conf here so we can have a look.
It is better to be safe than sorry.
Also let's see the output of

I do not really understand this setup, is there any particular reason for
it, I mean the hda, hdd, and hde,  arrangement. I take it you have 2 
ide lines,
and generally speaking, though not necessarily the rom/writer goes 
master and slave
on one line, and the hard drives on another, you don't seem to have 
this arrangement.
I guess this means I haven't come across it before but I would just 
like to know
why the unusual arrangement. Are any of these devices true scsi 
devices, because
to get writer programmes in linux to recognise most ide devices  scsi 
emulation is
employed , and indeed that is what hda=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi does for 
you, though
I add them to the append=  line in each stanza , rather than globally 
at the beginning.
However I note that even in the append= line for each stanza you have 
something
different, that is, hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi, rather than hda=ide-scsi 
hdd=ide-scsi,
and I believe this is incorrect, and since it is the later entry in 
the whole business
of reading your lilo.conf entries I'm guessing these are the ones it 
is trying to implement.
Why not change these entries in e

I don't understand these, presumeably they are floppies
I would expect an entry something like this,
other=/dev/fd0
  label=floppy
  unsafe
other=/dev/fd1
  label=floppy
  unsafe
Your setup is unusual,so,
/dev/hda  is your rom or writer
/dev/hdb  does not exist
/dev/hdc  does not exist
/dev/hdd   is your rom or writer
/dev/hde  is your hard drive, and M8.2 is on hde5

which I do not really understand but if correct , so well and good.


I could not open your /etc/fstab, but to get your rom and writer
to work you need enties something like this,
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0

these will not give you supermount.

then in /mnt directory make sure you have
/mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom2
/mnt/floppy
/mnt/floppy2  (if you have two floppy drives)

then on desktop rightmouseclick to create,each
of the devices, and in properties of each point to
the /dev files for each.

nothing else required in /etc/modules.conf

ok my setup, i have the writer on hda and the reader on hdd.  Then i 
have a 40 mb hd on a promise 100 eide controler.  I only have 1 floppy, 
which works, and am confused about the second entry as well.  I do not 
have the mnt entires for either cd device nor can i get them to mount. 
I had already tried the 2 fstab lines you  had listed.  What it appears 
to me is the ide driver is only partially letting go of the drives.  I 
only see a scsi entry for the burner.  All i have in my dev/scsi. (i 
think lun0 is the last subdir on a deap path) is scsi0 and generic. 
According to the directions on the cd-ram how to, if i want the devices 
to be seen under mnt i have to make a soft link to something.  It's that 
something i can't figure out as the something that the directions say to 
link to doesn't work

Daniel,

First...I'm hoping that it was a copy and paste error, but you are
missing the 'i' on image=/boot/vmlinux on the first (default) entry.

In addition, the default entry is the only one with the append= line
that does not read   append="devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi"

('quiet' keeps you from seeing all the 'goodies' load--I prefer to see
that everything is loading o.k., so I have removed it.)

Without those ide-scsi and hdd-scsi entries, your system is going to
have problems 'seeing' them.  I would suggest that you modify the
append= line in your first (default) entry to read either:

append="quiet devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi"

or

append="devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi"


Either way, once you have made the change and saved the lilo.conf file,
at a (root) command prompt, type 'lilo' or '/sbin/lilo' (without quote
marks).  You will get a return of the new lilo configuration, so you
know it 'took'.

Then do a normal shutdown and restart...your CD drive should then be
available as a CDROM and a CD burner.

(BTW:  I have found eroaster to be very reliable and much easier to
configure...personal opinion, of course.)
