2001-09-27 Thread Roderick Scotto

Hi ppl!

For of all I would like to thanks all the ppl of the linux community for 
helping to achieving Linux as a state of the art OS.

Unfortunatley I am still a university student and most of my application run 
only under windows I saw a screen-shot, It which there was mention some 
Win4Lin... Is that sort of a Windows API for linux.

Although I am going to install both windows2000 and Linux Mandarke 8.1 on 
the my new machine machine, I would like to know If I can run windows 
applications such as The Borland Delphi compilerand etc, on an linux 
machine. Please send me an related sites and your personal experinces about 
the matter.

I would like to thank you in advance.

best regards

Roderick

Re: [newbie] Samba Clients Passwords

2001-09-24 Thread Roderick Scotto

I had the same problrm 2 days ago.. I solved.
you must add the windows users in the samab by typing smbadduser and create 
user and password.. then when ever you click on the folder form the windows 
machine enter the samba password (the one that you assigned to the 
smbadduser)

to change the password type smbpassword..


pleas enote that you must be root to use smbadduser  ..
and went you typt smbpasswd it will change on the passowrd of the user user 
logged on linux

Hi Folks!!

I have a problem that is driving me nuts!!! it's seems to be very 
simple
but it isn't I'm using samba to share resources with W$ machines and
Mandrake 8.0 that is the server, of course

Thw win clients detect the Samba net but when I click on the icon of that
net it appears a kind of login to that net that is made of auser login
and a password that, obviously, I have any idea of what could be

Any positive contribute would be very helpful

Thanks

[newbie] Samba- problem - asking for an unkown password

2001-09-20 Thread Roderick Scotto


I managed to run samba and to see the linux machine on my windows explore, 
but when I click on the linux machine .. it prompts me for a password, I had 
tried all the passwords used in the linux box and windows machine, but still 
without success.
I had try to tweak directly with the /etc/smb.conf file.. but It was 
useless..
I had also shared folders.. but I still cannot access the linux machine

I had then tried to modify the setting from the drakeconfnetworksamba... 
but still for nothing.

Can you please help me!

regards
Roderick scotto
