Re: [SLUG] dumb question
What version of Samba are you using? Do the workstations have an account in the samba server? Is the samba server a member of the domain or the DC? Good Afternoon, I'm having a brain fade. I'm setting up a samba server. Done this a couple of times. All works. Can connect from cmd line with smbclient, and from windows Win2000 and XP-Pro useing make a connection. What I cann't do is see the server in the network neighbourhood. wins support is configure in the smb.conf. nmblookup eserver works, both from the samba server, and a seperate linux machine. I've added the samba server as a wins server in both win2000 and XP-Pro. Ideas greatfully recieved.

Re: [SLUG] dumb question
Hi Ashley, This is due to a 'Network Redirector' driver software on your Win2000/XP-Pro. Ensure that your Service Pack for Win2000/XP-Pro is current. I believe the minimum required for: Win2000 is SP4(Jun 03) WinXP is SP1a(Feb 03) has an update ? To determine: Right-click 'My Computer' and choose 'Properties'. Have fun.

Dear slugers, I have created a file using vi. When I look at the same file on a windows box with notepad it is loaded as one line and where I expect to have carriage returns i have box looking characters.

Rename the file to something.doc This will force it to be opened with Word. Word will then prompt the user as to how they want to interpret the newlines: as wraparounds or as newlines.

Re: [SLUG] Looking for a couple of icons.
It might be stealing or it might not be. I'd be up for 'inducing' Ken to commit copyright violations if the Induce act applied here. The images might be in the public domain or they might not be. Its up to Ken to decide what to do with the icons. For instance if he traced the outlines and refilled the icons with a different colour they would be pretty much a different icon. Or he might even email the site and ask permission to use them. That would really shock them as they might have even 'purloined' them themselves :-) http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,64315,00.html?tw=wn_story_top5) Ben de Luca wrote: Isn't that stealing some one else work?
