NFS input/output error
Dear all
can some one help me to solve this. we have a nfs share from server mounted to
desktops. if users try to cp a large file (e.g 30MB) on the nfs share, it says
input/output error most of the times, not always though.
if the user do the same thing on local dir or logon to the server and do the same
thing it works fine. in both cases, no nfs share is involved.
we are using RH8.0 kernel 2.4.20-18.8 and applied all the patches on all concerned
machines
any suggestion are welcome
thanks

how does POP3 SERVER finds the mailbox for each user
Dear all
I would grateful if some one can tell me how to config POP3 SERVER (or is it
possible?) so that it will not go to /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME to retrieve mails.
I have configured procmail to deliver mails to $HOME/mbox on the mail server. however,
if i use POP3 to access the server and retrieve mails, it always goes to
/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
The question is how do I tell POP3 SERVER to go to $HOME/mbox to retrieve mails?
please note that it is the server side, not client.
I am using RH9 and the POP3 is installed with IMAP-2001a-18 package. I have checked
the package info, but could not find an particular info about the POP3 apart from
Washington univ.
many thanks

Hi Cheng,
In this case, I would once again suggest that you look at winbind -- all users,
including linux, are setup only on your windows 2k box -- linux logins check there for
authorization.
> they log into Linux, auth by a nis server (should migrate to ldap).
yes and no -- you are probably a good candidate to wait from samba 3.0 which should be
supporting active deirectory (assuming that you are running active directory)
>\\winserver\users\share
from the windbind doc ...
template homedir
When filling out the user information for a Windows NT user, the winbindd daemon uses
this parameter to fill in the home directory for that user. If the string %D is
present it is substituted with the user's Windows NT domain name. If the string %U is
present it is substituted with the user's Windows NT user name.
Default: template homedir = /home/%D/%U
it's there!
finally, checkout rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org) -- you can have your windows desktop in
a linux x window!

RE: mount win shares to Linux automatically - possible?
Hi, CC
Thank you for the excellent message. we have a windows centric system and that cannot
be changed, for historical, political and management reasons.
As linux in this org started from a few isolated desktops, when more and more people
use it, we set up a centralized server for auth and nfs services. most Linux users
still have their windows desktops and some use exceed. when people log into windows,
they are authenticated by a win2k domain. when they log into Linux, auth by a nis
server (should migrate to ldap). The two systems are independent of each other apart
from backup and email, which are communicating via agents.
this may be not a neat technical set-up, but easy to manage and support. Then we have
this file access problem, when the linux/windows users log into any system, them want
to access files in both systems.
What I am trying to achieve here is:
when people log into linux, they do not need to type \\winserver\users\share and/or
supply username and password, but simply type e.g. "cd /home/user1/mywin" to access
her home folder in widows (like a mapped drive in windows).

ok, i am just a wee bit confused then; you have a windows 2000 advanced server running
as a domain controller, additionally, you have linux box where samba has been
configured to use the windows 2k as it's authentification server. further, you have
shares on the linux box available to the network. does this sound about right?
there is nothing particularily wrong with this arrangement, although I would have
configured linux to be the domain controller and the 2k box as a domain member. this
tends to be the preference if ever you decide to activate the terminal services (as
microsoft reccommends that a terminal server not be a domain controller at the same
time). needless to say, that you do not have to pay the client license when your
domain controller is running under samba -- this can be a very persuaive argument to
change the role --
i assume then you have pesuasive reason for the 2k server as well -- some sort of
application that running there that cannot be migated to linux? (hint)
typically, if not always, when a windows client becomes member of a windows domain, it
create a hidden share for each drive/partition (i.e. c$, etc.). additionally, the
windows client global group administrators is modified to include the domain
administrator. once again, there is no need (or desire) to have all of the client
passwords maintained somewhere for the administrator -- by having the domain admin
declared as a local administrator on the client, the domain admin, from any machine on
the network, can access any other domain member machine. to try, logon to w2k as
admin, open up explorer, and type\\netbiosname\c$ and hit enter. if the client machine
is a member, than no password is required to have full access to the client's disk
should you wish to maintain a windows centric solution, than you could consider
running winbind, which allows linux logins based on nt security. again, only under
special instances would you want to do this ... but you may have a case that justifies
it. check out winbind in the samba-howto collection.

Hi Zhi,
Actually the passwords would be placed only in the fstab file on the
server. Not hundreds of computers.
Also you wouldn't have to ask the users for their passwords, thay can be set
to explicit values on the Linux side. this however, creates other detrimental
issues. Remeber the Samba share passwords don't have to be the same as their
Windows passwords. Which raises the specter of the "multiple logons" issue.
Since clear text passwords are always vulnerable have you considered
adding an LDAP authentication facility to your network? Or having a Linux box
act as a domain controller?

Hi, Christopher
we are using windows 2000 servers. we configured samba to use win server to
authenticate users when they access Linux file from windows environment.
perhaps if we some how to make use of ldap for authentication, then we would configure
samba to use a Linux server to do the authentication when users access windows files
from Linux? provided that win2k allows this.
can we do both?
I do not think any org will allow their sys admin to know everyone's pass word.

Hi Chris - this is a great solution. Extremely useful for most
installations.
Where did you find it?
I know some folks are worried about the clear text password issue but
if someone who has root on their system isn't suppoed to be reading the
fstab
file, then they much bigger problems... :-)
For the folks who win users have their passwords changed at "frequent"
intervals their is a way to authenticate samba access through authentication
facilities on the Linux box. At least one of these is, I believe, LDAP
based
and the others are PAM based. (AFAIK). Those techniques would be useful
for environments which do force password changes.

hi cheng
you can mount remote windows shares provided that you have installed samba. once
installed, try a line similar to this in your /etc/fstab file
//drs1/c$ /mnt/caca smbfs password=mypassword,username=ccuse 0 0
where drs1 is the netbios name of the windows box, c$ is the share name, and username

It is very easy to do that! example :
at this live to your fstab :
mount -t vfat -o codepage=936,iocharset=cp936 /dev/hda5 /mnt/d
this line tell linux to mount the hda5 (which is the D: in M$window)
The option next to -o tell linux to support chinese charset filename!
Actually,I am a newbe to linux too! Yet,I think you should search for
answer on google or some other engines before you sent a mail here!
So many knowledges we can find on the internet!:-)

mount win shares to Linux automatically - possible?
Hi, Gurus
Is it possible to define something in the /etc/fstab file so that a windows share can
be mounted to Linux box automatically when sys reboot? (or something in /etc/rc.local
without plain text passwd?)
the scenario:
we have two (ha, more than two) systems in our institute, a few MS file servers and
some Linux file servers. For the Linux users, they want to be able to access windows
files within Linux (the other way around is easier to accomplish using samba). At the
moment, the users have to use smbclient, Nuatilus or command line "mount -t smbfs -o
.. ...".
it would be much better if the Linux desktops can automatically mount the user's share
to e.g. /home/user1/win
thanks

There are many options for the format of the date. See the 'date' man

ls --full-time
Dear
gurus
thanks
for your helpful information on my previous questions, which make the sys admin
job more enjoyable
now i
want to backup files by renaming them with their time stamp added the end of
file name. by using "ls --full-time", however, different version of RH gives
different format, which make my scripts not universally applicable. is there a
better way to get the same time stamp format, or to test which version of
Linux (not kernel) is running?

Are the rpc daemons started before you're mounting those disks?

This is not a good test. "ls -l" will not reveal dot-files.
Use "ls -A" which will list all files, including the dotted ones, but
excluding '.' and '..'.
