[newbie] sharing files between mandrake and osx
Hi all, I have a problem I've been struggling with for a little while, so I'm going to break down and ask here. I purchased a powerbook G4 last xmas, and since then I've only been able to network between the 2 in one direction. My powerbook has no problem seeing and accessing shares on my mandrake box, my mandrake box however, can not see any shares at all on the powerbook. The powerbook cannot write to mandrake box either. Anyone who has experience in networking linux with mac osx, help is appreciated! --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Here's where my lack of knowledge about max osx comes in though: on the powerbook, under system preferences, I've checked windows sharing which says that my powerbook is now accessible using SMB/CIFS. So I'm assuming it's running there as well. --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] sharing files between mandrake and osx
So it's safe to assume that you've set up the same workgroup name, and that you've got a static IP for both the G4 and the MDK box, ya? yes, that would be safe to assume. workgroup is simply, well, WORKGROUP (original, I know. :-) and they both have static ip's within my home lan. One other thing, that is probably fairly critical, I can see the printer shares on my G4 from the MDK box. just no file shares. --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] sharing files between mandrake and osx
I think that this might have something to do with the firewall on the MDK machine; have you tried disabling it and then being able to share the files? Wouldn't the firewall only block inbound connection attempts? And even if it was blocking outgoing, why is the shared printer showing? If I know anything about Linux, it's pissy about permissions. Do the perms on the shared dirs on the G4 (drol) include read access for your user/others? This could include a chmod +x (do you have chmod on a Mac?) on the dirs so they are 'searchable'. Are the usernames in sync (not that this is strictly necessary)? Well, just to be sure, I did try disabling the firewall. Nothing. I also checked the permissions on the shared directory on my powerbook (yes, osx has chmod. One of the things I really like about it is that most of the CL tools are the same) I added searchability to the shared directories...still nothing. --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] libCommonC++1.9_4-1.9.7-1mdk.i586
Hi all, I'm trying to install xtunes, and running into dependency problems. To satisfy dependencies, I need: libCommonC++1.9_4-1.9.7-1mdk.i586.rpm However, after searching *everything* I can think of (cooker, rpmfind, google, ibiblio) I can't seem to find it anywhere. Google seems to think it's still on cooker, but the link gives a 404. Anyone have any idea where I can find it? --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Shame we live in diff countries and all
(This is one'a the best threads we've had in a long time) It has been funeven with the volumes of email that have come in today (that I'm adding to at the moment! ;-)) mushy stuff I usually just sit back, lurk and learn, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributes to this list. Almost evey question I've had has been answered by searching the archives, so the people who have helped me haven't even been aware they were doing it...so here's a big blanket thanks so much to everyone willing to spend a little time and share their expertise. /mushy stuff --Gina (who's still in san diego, and looking forward to another beautiful day tomorrow) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] kmail problem
I'm having a problem sending mail with kmail. My smtp server requires password authentication, and I can't seem to figure out how to get kmail to send the authentication. Also, because of a recent change in isp's, the smtp server is with a different company, and a different user name than the pop server. I'm able to get netscapes mail client configured for it, but I'd really like to go back to kmail. any ideas? --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

A few more specifics, since I probably didn't explain the problem well to begin with: my incoming mail is through mail1.myoldisp.com outgoing is through: smtp.mynewisp.net The problem is that outgoing mail requires a completely different user name and password than my incoming mail. Every time I try to send mail I get the message: 505 client not authenticated I'm able to receive mail with no problem. As someone suggested, I've tried to set up PostFix to send mail, and it works for some domains, but not all. I'm pretty much a complete beginner, so any help is appreciated! --Gina Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
