Re: [newbie] File Sharing
Hi all Well I found if I installed gift-openft it solved the problem with Apollon not connecting. I installed it (and apollon) using the plf with urpmi Worked for me anyway!

Re: Fw: [newbie] File Sharing
RPMs for Apollon are in plf for 9.2 and 10.0 together with gift-fasttrack (Kazaa) and gift-openft (Native giFT) plugins If you define plf as a urpmi source, then all the dependencies will be installed at once. You may find the fasttrack (Kazaa) plugin is not recognised until you use Advanced settings to point to the location of the fasttrack plugin Many thanks for that Derek, Just as soon as I can get out of Microshaft Winsucks, I will get into Mandrake and have a play.

Lots of them: Apollon, MlDonkey, LimeWire, etc I use LimeWire, which not being as good as Kazaa, is more than adequate. If you have hours to spare in order to wait for a download, then Overnet command line client is worth looking at too. I have major problems with Apollon, It just wont install properly, using the so called "all in one installer". It will screw up halfway during installation, owing to a dependant library or application not being installed, but it wont actually give you too many clues as to what you need to install to rectify the situation! I finally got it to install, and then it wouldnt run.. it hadnt even installed giFT! I asked on the forums, but got the usual silence/unhelpful answers. So, it's binned for the time being.

I think you mean GiFT The file wasn't pulled, Kazaa who provide the technology Morpheus use deliberately blocked GiFT so it stopped working. The GiFT team are busy developing an 'OpenSource' alternative to Kazaa/FastTrack. Check out SourceForge for details. Morpheus have recently fallen out with Kazaa and have just started to use Gnutella as their file sharing system. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/24281.html Another Gnutella client lots of people use is LimeWire www.limewire.com This one is Java based. Read the install instuctions carefully, lots of people have trouble getting it installed. Also check out this lists archives. Another alternative is AudioGalaxy www.audiogalaxy.com They have a Command Line Linux client called AGSatellite, and there is a GUI front end called XSatellite available on SourceForge.

limewire.com has a linux clinent out, it's writen in java, so make sure you have SUN's java installed (kaffe didn't cut it for this program) it uses the gnutella network, but will connect much better. If you have trouble connecting, change the amount of connected hosts from 2 to 99, this will always give you a good connection :) mark On Wednesday 09 January 2002 12:34 am, you wrote: > On 07 Jan 2002 21:16:24 -0800 > > chuck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > To be more specific, I am looking for a P2P file sharing client.

Then on each of the machines which will access the files, define a nfs mount and a directory. It is then transparent--it is mounted at boot usually and is simply like any other mounted partition. You can use linuxconf to set up both server and client sides of the nfs mount, the rest of the capability is built into the kernel, not a separate program at all. The other file sharing system is Samba, This one shares with windows boxes as well as linux boxes but is more of a chore to set up. Many people use webmin to set it up, others try the web browser game to use a setup program called SWAT, and some others say all that is unnecessary, put your favorite text editor on /etc/samba/smb.conf, read and configure as you choose, and save. LinNeighborhood, komba and gnomba are popular as clients of Samba to allow Linboxes to access either winboxes or other linboxes for shared files.

Re: [newbie] file sharing
samba, nfs, appletalk, ftp, http, scp, sftp all come immediately to mind -- it all depends on who you want to share it to, between what operating systems, and what it is that you wish to share.

Paul, Try nfs. Or use the mount command with the -t smbfs option.

[newbie] file sharing Linux to Linux
I am running samba on a Linux server, file serving to my windows clients across the LAN. This was easy to set-up in Mandrake with the gui's provided. The problem that I have is that I now want to convert my main client to Linux too but how can I connect to the Linux server containing my data? Any advise would be great.

Ouch!! Sounds more like a good reason to ditch NT. It's not LISa's problem if NT does not challenge it for a password. I don't have NT (its a home network by the way). My Win98 machines however act correctly and will not let LISa browse below any directory with sharing disabled, and will challenge on password protected ones. > > Also, have you tried using the address bar in konqueror?

I'm new to Linux, and my Solaris experience is 3 years out of useage, so I'm just feeling my way in. So far I like Mandrake 8.0 very much, and am just building my second Linux computer.

[newbie] File sharing Windows, Samba and LISa
Interesting to see the subject of LISa brought up on Mandrake Forum. I can trade some tips on setting up LISa in exchange for a question on Samba I'm happy to say LISa works very well for me with just 2 caveats. 1/ The Configuration GUI in Control Centre has some shortcomings. If you execute it more than once it will concatenate the new LISa settings at the back of the old config file with unpredictable results. I recommend editing the file lisarc in an editor to be sure it says what you need. 2/ In Mandrake 8.0 the lisarc configuration file is stored in an unexpected place. /root/.kde/share/config/lisarc LISa will not automatically find it in this location. LISa has to be started as root each time the computer is started. I put a statement lisa -c /root/.kde/share/config/lisarc in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to do this. The '-c' tells LISa to use an explicit config file rather than searching for one. In use LISa works well. I can browse from Konquerer anywhere around my Windows PC's, and can see my wireless LAN modem and firewall as HTML devices. My only remaining problem is Samba related rather than LISa :- My Win98 machine can browse my Linux file system, and can read and write to it. A Win98 machine can also read from the windows partition on my Linux box, but can only write small files to it . Anything under 200k is fine. Files above 200k gives me the message "Cannot create or replace 'filename'. Access is denied" on my Win98 computer. I have no trouble writing the same files to my Linux partition. I have looked everywhere, but cannot find anything to limit file sizes. Any ideas anyone? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] File sharing with windows question
Oooo, yes please. I would like. :-) I have installed the mdk samba server, client and common files on the gateway, and samba client on my workstation. I tried setting the ip #s up in Samba conf using webadmin. (But that didn't do anything.) But that's about as far I got. I'm afraid I hadn't paid much attention to the whole subject of samba before, thinking I would never need it. So I am a lost and confused newbie.

Hi, It would be very difficult, without the use of Samba. In fact, it is almost impossible. You'll definately need Samba to do it. I can help you set it up if you like.

[newbie] File sharing with windows question
Can two windows98 machine file share thru a linux gateway with tiny firewall without samba? My family's two windows machines can't share. The names of these computers and the gateway show up in network neighborhood, but no files. If I try to map them, I get an error about not finding the machines. Or do I need to try and get samba configured? (someone got a good newbie site/link on this subject?) -s

Re: [newbie] File sharing Win-Linux
Thank you. I think it work. Now my linuxbox can appear on Windoze machine (Network Neighborhood). But I can't access my Linux from Windoze. Windoze ask me a password. As I remember I didn't make any password for user on Windoze machine. And on Linux machine, when I run smbclient, I get a respond like this : SharenameTypeComment D Disk CDisk IPC$ IPCRemote Inter Process Communication ServerComment CRAVENSamba SMB Server [2.0.6] TETEHTeteh97 WorkgroupMaster QUAKETETEH Anyone can help me ?

Re: [newbie] File sharing Win-Linux
Thank you for your advise. Now my linuxbox can appear on Windoze machine. But I can't access it from Windoze. Widoze ask me for password. But now the message is change. Sounds like this (on Windoze machine): //craven is not accessible. The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you type it correctly, and try again. Also I test my smb.conf by running testparm, and I get message like this : Load smbconfig files from /etc/smb.conf Loaded services file OK. Deny connection from Teteh.net(192.168.0.2) to homes. Allow ... to printers. Allow.to Linuxer. What should I do ? And at the section [global], if I only have 1 ethernet card on each machine, should I activate interfaces ? Thank you very much for your assistance. -Pungki This is my smb.conf : [global] workgroup = Quake server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.0.2, 127. printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%a max log size = 50 security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 os level = 33 dns proxy = no unix password sync = no comment = Craven.net encrypt passwords = no map to guest = never password level = 0 null passwords = no allow hosts = 192.168.0.2 os level = 0 preferred master = no domain master = yes wins support = no dead time = 0 debug level = 0 [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/%u browseable = yes writable = yes public = yes allow hosts = 198.168.0.2 only user = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes [Linuxer] comment = Testing path = /home/pungki browseable = yes public = yes guest only = yes writable = yes allow hosts = 192.168.0.2 only user = no > # samba config file /etc/smb.conf > # > > [global] > workgroup = HOMELAN > server string = Samba SMB Server [%v] > interfaces = 192.168.1.2/24 127.0.0.1/24 > bind interfaces only = Yes > security = SHARE > encrypt passwords = Yes > log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m > max log size = 50 > time server = Yes > os level = 65 > dns proxy = No > wins support = Yes > guest account = smbuser > min print space = 2000 > print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
