[newbie] CUPS demon wont start?

[newbie] Users
I hope this isn't too basic a question! I've been running a Mandrake server on my network for nearly a year now and it is great. Currently all network clients are running some flavour of Windows. I would like to begin to migrate clients to Linux but the first problem is how to validate user logins etc. from the server. I have set up a Linux client but I can see no obvious way of obtaining user authentication from my server. I need this so that: 1.When I mount NFS shares the perm's operate correctly. 2.I only need to maintain one user database for the entire network. 3.It seems a sensible way for things to work!

Re: [newbie] Help I Can't log in!!!
Thanks, but this hasn't fixed it I'm afraid. I've discovered that I can log in if I startup in 'failsafe' mode (that's something I suppose!) but not if I startup normally. I can't log in as *any* user, not even root! Any more suggestions from anyone?

Re: [newbie] Help I Can't log in!!!
Thanks for the help, I'll give this a try. I don't think the problem is actually to do with authentication. The system logs suggest that the authentication is OK. The problem is in trying to set up a console session over SSH or locally. SSH says it connects OK but the server closes the session immediately. I can find no log information on the closure which is a pain in the butt! It's along story how I got here: 1. I wanted to install horde/imp to setup a web email system, 2. The needed PHP4 with certain options in Apache, 3. I recompiled apache with DSO enabled, 4. I tried to set up PHP4 in apache, everything compiled OK but the DSO module wouldn't load, it complained about a PAM library, 5. I found I needed to install PAM-devel tools to make the relevant library available, 6. I couldn't find pam-devel as a tar ball but thought if I installed the latest PAM tar I would be able to extract the relevant libraries. Somewhere along the line it all failed and I got messed up!

Re: [newbie] Linux machine in an NT environment
You need to set up SAMBA, your Linux box will then appear on your NT network as an NT4 box. You can even setup samba to make the Linux box your PDC. It's really quite straight forward and pretty cool when you get it all going.

Re: [newbie] Samba Question
Another thing to check is the use of plain text vs encrypted passwords. Samba can be configured for either. I recall that the default for Samba and the default for Windows may be different.

Re: [newbie] internet monitoring
The simplest way I can think of to achieve this is to use squid (proxy server) and squidGuard. You can set Squid up as a transparent proxy so that is automatically intercepts all calls on port 80. Squid Guard is very configurable and can block/allow site by user, time or ip address. You can even set squid to validate users from your SMB user database if you're using SMB. The best thing about it is that it's free and it works brilliantly!

[newbie] When is Mandrake not Mandrake?
I have been downloading, compiling and installing sources - new kernel, modules etc. When does my Mandrake 8.0 distro cease to be Mandrake and become a 'generic' Linux (if thewre is such a thing)?

[newbie] Motherboard Replacement
I want to upgrade my MoBo/Processor to something more powerful, currently I use a Cyrix MII 300. Does a MoBo replacement necessitate a reinstall of Mandrake or will all work fine with the new board/Processor? I am probably looking at a Duron 1GHz board.

[newbie] Mail
I've managed to set up a very successful email server using fetchmail to access my ISP, sendmail to distribute mail and UW-imapd to allow remote access (both pop3 and imap). What I would now like to do is filter the mail that arrives into folders ie. all the mail from this list to my 'Mandrake' folder. I can do this with POP3 becasue it operates on the client side. But I can't manage to sort mail on the server side into imap folders. I think this should be possible using procmail? Currently all mail is stored in /var/spool/mail/$user, each user is allocated a single large file that contains all mail and folders (I think). where do I put .procmail recipes for each user? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really want to migrate to a complete imap implementation. Thanks, Mark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Postfix
Can anyone tell me how I can get Postfix to send my mail properly. I have added the name of my ISP SMTP server. My internet connection is via an ISDN router on my network. What I would like to do is get Postfix to send mail (assuming it has some queued) every hour or so. Also it would be good if I could configure it to send mail immediately if a high priority email is to be sent. I am using Outlook Express on a W2K machine as my email client.

Terry, Thanks for this, it's fantastic! I can control any machine on my network as though I were sat right in front of it! One question. When I log into my Linux server all I get is a grey screen.

Re: [newbie] Browsing windows peer2peer is possibel?
If I've understood your requirements correctly you need to use SAMBA. You can configure this via Linuxconf/Webmin/editing the smb.conf file. Once it's setup correctly and working then you can use smbclient to browse windows shares on the Linux box. Plenty of people on this list can help you setting up SAMBA if you have any difficulty.

Re: [newbie] Scanner
It's a parallel port scanner and the SANE website says that there it is unlikely ever to be supported. Win4Lin or vmware sound like they might do the trick though.

Does anyone know if there's a driver for the UMAX 600P. Unfortunately it is not supported by SANE. Also once installed can I share the scanner of my network (SAMBA/Win98/W2K)? Mark

[newbie] SAMBA and CUPS
Just upgraded from LM7.0 to LM8.0 (reinstalled).
My Linux box is a server to win98 and W2k clients so I have setup SAMBA. All
worked well under LM7.0 but under 8.0 I cannot get my printer to work. In
LM7 I used printtools to configure the printer, this is no longer available
in 8.0 (I don't think) so I used CUPS, which seems vastly superior anyway.
The question is how do I get SAMBA to see a CUPS configured printer.
