Re: [Samba] LDAP WBEL
Thanks to everyone for their LDAP recommendations. But as my luck would have it, I managed to crash my Whitebox server. The X server just never starts up. And this happened after I installed Firefox 0.9.3 to /usr/lib/firefox. As soon as I did that my server crashed. With the number of problems I am encountering with my Linux server I think I am just going to reinstall everything. My gnome-desktop has crashed at least a dozen times in the last month (and the machine has been running only for that long). I have never been able to install j2re-1.4.2_05. Samba although working, could never get it to work as a PDC with single sign-on. I tried using all the links that were sent for the LDAP administration, but without j2re, one choice was gone (no applets in my browser) and without php4 i could not run another (i have not tried to install php yet) and www.webmin.com although installed was never able to start the module (kept telling my configuration was wrong). But I was even having many unclean shutdowns after which the system check told me that there were bad blocks on my HD. So I am just scrapping my install and restarting all over. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a tool which I can use to check the HD before I install? I thank all of you in advance for any help you may offer. I am currently desperate as I had promised my lab that I would have this server up and running by the end of last month. They are starting to question if Linux is worth all this trouble especially since the XP install on this machine has never caused problems.

One thing I am unable to understand is which directory is equivalent to Windows Program Files where all users have common programs installed for use. I tried to install Firefox to the same directory sturcture where Mozilla is installed and BOOM. But I guess that is a question for general Linux lists. If you prefer you can continue to post your reply directly to me.

Would certainly replace the drive before doing any more work on a re-install. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Linux is a bit different but logical (maybe more so) nonetheless, but this isn't the place for that discussion. Understand that with Windows most installs place dll's in other folders (%windir%\system32 for one) and stuff data in the registry (usually multiple places) and sometimes creating and editing other supplementary files/folders as well. I think that for the most part Linux is a lot cleaner (very close to, if not at the same point it was before the install) after a program uninstall than Windows. Use 'linux filesystem structure' (without the quotes) in a Google search and you will find enough informational assistance. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Most disk vendors have a test tool you can download, usually to create a standalone boot floppy. If your vendor doesn't, try Maxtor's Powermax program, which is supposed to work for all manufacturers' drives (I've only tried it on Maxtor drives). I've found the vendors' test programs to be very good. Keith -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
