Re: [newbie] Can't install/use WebDAV.
Where is your conf file? Here is the lines that I insert in my httpd2.conf: ### == LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so DAVLockDB /dav/DAVLock Directory /dav DAV On AuthType Basic AuthName WebDAV Server AuthUserFile /dav/.DAVlogin /Directory ### == Your dav directory is world writable, right? well, I type 'ps -ef | grep httpd' and see the service running under 'apache' user... so, I made this: mkdir /dav chmod -R 775 /dav chown -R apache.apache /dav And I create the password file: htpasswd -c /dav/.DAVlogin flavio (flavio is the user running Calendar on win98 client station). Made this, I try to publish my calendar but no file is writing in /dav directory... and I don't know how to test if my WebDAV server is running I put a single txt file in /dav directory and try to see it on my win98 client station like this: http://192.168.200.50/dav/test.txt but I got a 'page not found' error... Can you see something wrong ? Thank you again. Flávio Henrique Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

Re: [newbie] Can't install/use WebDAV.
Naw, you don't need a virtual host unless you want one. Since you don't have any restrictions set, you should just be able to publish the calendar by specifying the IP and directory from Mozilla Calendar. For example, http://192.168.200.50/dav/calendar.ics . Todd Ok. I trying this, but no files is write in /dav/ directory...

[newbie] Problems with accents.
hi guys.
I using Mandrake 10.0 to serve about 50 win98
clients with Samba.
My problem is:
any file or directory created by clients, that have
accents (' ~" ` ^), in the Linux (and just in the Linux server) I can't see the
name correctly... I see strange characters instead...
I need to make backups, from Linux server, so I
need to resolve this, cause the files will be stored with strange
characters...
Maybe some problem with Samba, but I don't
know...
Someone have a clue ?
Thank you

Re: [newbie] I'm losting my samba's shares after some time... permission denied... help plz.
Bill, I would like to thank you again... well, I would run ls -ld /share/docs before doing 'chmod -R 750 /share/docs' to see if the permissions had been changed. Also, I you should use 2770 as the permissions. 2xxx sets the sticky bit which means all files/directories created in this directory will have the group of this directory. the permission changed right... no problem with this... Ok.. I will use 2xxx permission... I did not understood what means this '2' I do not see /share/docs in your smb.conf. I see /home/docs and /home/c. Where you put the share is important as far as msec is concerned. I just create the share directory with another name... but using yours instructions... There are five security levels for msec. I am using security level 3 for msec: [EMAIL PROTECTED] msec]# cat /etc/sysconfig/msec META_CLASS=PowerPack SECURE_LEVEL=3 CLASS=expert UMASK_ROOT=027 UMASK_USER=022 TMOUT=0 My security level is 3, and my msec file have this: UMASK_ROOT=022 SECURE_LEVEL=3 UMASK_USER=022 TMOUT=0 which means that msec will use /usr/share/msec/perm.3 as the control file for setting permissions. If you use SECURE_LEVEL=2, then examine /usr/share/msec/perm.2 and so on. Let us assume you are level 3. Examine /usr/share/msec/perm.3. Do you see the lines: /home/root.root 755 /home/* current 711 yes they are there... msec will decrease the permissions on /home to at most 755. However, I think the next line is biting you. msec will set the permissions on all directories off of /home to at most 711. Therefore, if /home/docs is where you put the directory, msec is clobbering the permissions. If you move /home/docs to /home/shares/docs then the permissions will not be affected. This is what I would reccomend. hmmm... this is great! I, personally, use: [EMAIL PROTECTED] msec]# ls -ld /lan /lan/shares /lan/shares/Apps drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jul 26 2003 /lan/ drwxr-x--x 23 bill smbusers 4096 Apr 30 00:08 /lan/shares/ drwxrwsr-x 12 bill smbusers 4096 Jun 30 2003 /lan/shares/Apps/ [Apps] comment = Windows/MS-DOS applications (r/w) path = /lan/shares/Apps browseable = yes guest ok = yes writeable = no write list = @smbusers create mask = 771 directory mask = 770 map hidden = yes map system = yes map archive = yes available = yes smbusers is the group that I put all samba users in. It is not affected by msec: /root.adm755 which would affect /share, or by: /home/* current 711 which would affect /home/docs. msec is sometimes a pain, but I am learning to live with it. I haven't disabled msec in the far chance that if my system ever gets compromized, msec may help me. HTH, Bill Shirley I will try to create the directories in /home/shares/docs to see what happens... when I install Mandrake, I create a partition for each /, /home, /usr, /var, /tmp directories, to avoid lost data in some crash... so maybe creating my shares directories in another partition than /home resolve this problem (?)

Yes, msec will mess your permissions up on /share. I will show you how to do this for the samba share docs that is accessable by docusers. You already have /share so as root cd /share chown root.root . chmod 755 . groupadd docusers mkdir -m 2770 docs chown root.docusers docs add this to smb.conf [Docs] comment = share for docusers path = /share/docs browseable = no guest ok = no valid users = @docusers writeable = yes create mask = 771 directory mask = 770 map hidden = yes map archive = yes map system = yes available = yes now edit /etc/group and find the entry for docusers docusers:x:499: [Note, the number may be different. That's ok.] now add the users that you want to be able to access this share to this line and save your changes docusers:x:499:user1,user2,user4 After saving the changes, then finally do a: service smb reload Your users may have to log off and back on before they can map the drive. They won't see the share in Network Neighborhood because we set browesable = no. Change it to yes if needed. If you make a change you must do: service smb reload and they MAY need to log off and back on to see your change. Each file or directory created in /share/docs will be owned by the user that created it and have the group of docusers. All members of group docusers can edit/delete files/directories. Hope this helps, Bill Shirley Bill... very thanx for this help... now I learn more about some permissions issues... I did everything what you said... create the /share, the /docs, the permissions, etc... while I was copying some files, from a win98 client machine to my new /share/docs directory, I was testing in another win98 client machine to see if I could see the files in /share/docs and I seeing... all goes fine... BUT after some minutes, in this same machine (that I was able to see the files), the share is broken again... I can't see the content of share... I can see the share but is like I haven't the right permission So, the /share/docs only works again if I type 'chmod -R 750 /share/docs' again in shell.. maybe some information mine helps... above is my smb.conf.. I'm using Samba to autenticate the users in domain... and the autentication is fine... the users logins without problems... I don't know if I'm saying right, but I'm using two networks one where the users is working (all machines win98, workgroup=PROVENDA, ip fixed) other (?) with my linux server is running a samba with workgroup=PROV and just one machine within this workgroup (to tests the /shares) the files that I was copying was located in a machine in workgroup=PROVENDA, that I was monted throug LinNeighborhood...

You are better off telling samba to use one user for all users.. and then set the files to 600 in the shares., (and change their owner and group to the owner and group that you have just set the share up to use.)

Re: [newbie] Making Mozilla the default browser in KDE
If you have mozilla installed, but not in your path, you could (as root) issue a ln mozilla /path to where mozilla is installed/mozilla /usr/bin/mozilla. So, if your mozilla was installed under /usr/local/bin/mozilla, you would type: ln -s /usr/local/bin/mozilla /usr/bin/mozilla That would create a link in the /usr/bin directory pointing to your mozilla. /usr/bin is by default in your path. Joeb hmmm... I'll try this... so, the /usr/bin is in my path, but /usr/local no ? hmmm... how a I can configure my path ? like the %path% in windows? it is by ln -s ?

Re: [newbie] how to configure Mozilla as my default browser ?
Is it the version of Mozilla you're expecting to run? 1.5 rc2 In future for those that like living life on the bleeding edge, it would be advisable to indicate in your initial request for help that you're running a non-standard/beta/rc version of an application so that those trying to help don't have to ask intentionally (mis)leading questions to elicit required details. The small detail in this situation was the version of the browser that was producing the unexpected behaviour. I think the helpful individuals that frequent this and the expert list would have nailed the solution a hell of a lot sooner if Flávio had come clean with that information in his first post. Ok... thanx for the tip... I agree with you too... sorry my mistake... BUT... I think this happens with the version 1.4 (official)...

Re: [newbie] Making Mozilla the default browser in KDE
The ln command is for making a link to the file. It is similar to a windows shortcut but much more powerful (you can ln directories, files, etc.). /usr/local/ isn't normally in your path. If you wanted to add it, you could do it in one of two places , /home/your_directory/.bash_profile or /etc/profile. For either one, you would add the line: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin(or whatever path(s) you want added, separated by colons :) export PATH(if you don't export the path, it won't take effect) The difference between the two places you can change this are that /etc/profile changes it for every user on the system (and requires a reboot before it takes effect). The .bash_profile in your home directory only changes it for your user id. If you want to test that it works, before changing it, issue the above commands in a shell or temrnial window then manually type mozilla and see if it works.

I wanted to do the same thing as I like the feel of Mozilla better than Konqueror. After much thrashing aroud on the web I found out that this is how you do it. I assume you're using KDE 3.1.0 because I think you said you were using Mandrake 9.1 which is the same distro as I'm using. Open the KDE Control Centre and go to Components, File Associations, text, html and in the Application Preference move mozilla to the top of the list. If it's not there add mozilla %u and then move it to the top. Hope this helps as I'm a newb as well and I'm finding Linux a bit intimidating coming from being spoonfed by Windows all my PC life ;-) Cheers Jamie Taylor yes...

I suggest you model yours after mine, making the necessary adjustments. The syntax is not that hard to understand. Once you have updated your lilo.conf, post it here. Note, the append line will be completely different for you, so I suggest you skip these lines in your file. append=failsafe is required if you want to boot into failsafe, however. It works John !!!

Re: [newbie] why I can't insert a new OS in my LILO menu ??
flavio, if you have done fdisk /dev/hdd and confirmed that windows is indeed on the first parttition on that disk and that it does have the number 1 - not necessarily the same thing! then i suggest that lilo is choking ion your other entries, perhaps those other entries regarding /dev/hdd1? yes... indeed exist another particion in my second hd... but is empty my hd have 20Gb and I make a particion with 7GB to install windows... the rest is empty... don't have a partition there... in MD9.1 when I run MCC and look for my partions, in hdd I have the /dev/hdd1 monted in /home/d2 and the rest of the disk empty... I don't know if this is the problem.. But I'll try to do what John Drouhard suggest me and see what happens... I'm leaving the work now and goint to home... in some minutes I have the answer...

I think under Nero it is called something like Burn An Image. If you don't do that it copies the files onto the disk, but doesn't create a bootable install disk.
