New MB issues

2002-10-23 Thread Bob Raymond

Running without nmbd works fine. The only issue is that Windows machines won't see you on the network, since nmbd provides name services. Access by IP address will still work. On Wed, 2002-10-23 at 00:41, m.w.chang wrote: can I run samba without smbd only, but not nmbd? the nmbd keeps

Stupid Sound Question

2002-10-23 Thread Tony Alfrey
Sorry, but a sound question. In the 2.2.~ kernel, one could do cat /dev/sndstat and see the configured devices and sound card info. In the 2.4.~ kernel, apparently this does not work. a) Is this something I'm doing wrong? b) Is there an equivalent command for the 2.4.~ kernel? Thanks -- Tony
