[SLUG] Network Issues SuSE7.0
I have two SuSE 7.0 boxes running and cannot figure out why I cannot see each other when I use Kruiser-the alternative file manager i can ping and telnet between both boxes but cannot see each other through a gui any pointers anyone? any suggestions on where to find some good recommended online documentation for networking linux? cheers all simple dave -- The Seismonitor Project www.allshookup.org/research/seisindx.htm email [EMAIL PROTECTED] D.V.Rogers -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

This one time, at band camp, D.V.Rogers said: I have two SuSE 7.0 boxes running and cannot figure out why I cannot see each other when I use Kruiser-the alternative file manager define 'see' and perhaps a little more clear about what you want Kruiser to do. i can ping and telnet between both boxes but cannot see each other through a gui any pointers anyone? well, without knowing much about Kruiser or your setup, my guess is that you'll have to explicitly export and mount your filesystems as NFS in order to browse them. Or SMB. any suggestions on where to find some good recommended online documentation for networking linux? www.linuxdoc.org, search for the Network Admin Guide (NAG). -- jamesw Always two there are; a Bastard, and a PFY. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Network Issues SuSE7.0
Dear All well, without knowing much about Kruiser or your setup, my guess is that you'll have to explicitly export and mount your filesystems as NFS in order to browse them. Or SMB. I had to set my domestic machines up as Samba servers to get it to work. Still haven't figured it out though. Any further help with this would be appreciated. I can see my other machines with Kruiser but can't drag and drop any files or folders.

I'm assuming youmean al-la "Network neighbourhood" under 'Doze? There are two possible options you can do to make this work. 1) Set each Linux box up as a Samba server, and share the required mounts. 2) Use NFS, and remote mount the bits you want to be able to browse onto the other machine. Both have drawbacks - NFS is particularly dangerous if the machines are connected to the internet, as it requires ports open which have *huge* security holes - but Samba also leaves a bit to be desired, because it relies on the buggy SMB protocol from M$, and there are some holes in that too. You could _possibly_ use Midnight COmmander to run an FTP connection on the remote machine, but I've never been able to make that work. any suggestions on where to find some good recommended online documentation for networking linux? You've got it networked - you can ping and telnet. What you want is an application level problem, not a networking problem. You don't need documentation on networking - you need documentation on application level filesharing.

Have you mounted each filesystem ? For example, I have a directory, /slave, on the workstation, xena, which points to slave:/home/jon using NFS. Not THE most secure way, but if you're behind a firewall and nos sharing through the firewall, you should be OK. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Oi! NFS is just like Unix. It's powerful enough to do what you want, but when you go to shoot yourself in the foot, it ends up blowing your leg off. (Or is that Solaris?) NFS machines are only (and this is a generalisation for NFS-only machines) a hazard if a fairly pedantic firewall isn't setup, and tcp-wrappers aren't configured properly. -- Steve "I'm a sysadmin because I couldn't beat a blind monkey in a coding contest." --Me -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
