RE: Anyone know why samba won't let my NT box play?

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I should have RTFM as this is so obviously a FAQ. Only thing puzzling me is.why didn't I have this problem with Win95? I won't lose any sleep over this though. cheers, Kevin = Original Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at 22/06/00 17:05 >I've just instal

Anyone know why samba won't let my NT box play?

I've just installed a copy of Windows NotTested 4.0. For some reason it can't see my samba box unlike all my Win95 systems. I'm suspecting the Samba end as I see the following messages in /var/log/samba/log.smb when I try to browse. [2000/06/22 16:36:47, 0] lib/util.c:matchname(1879) Get_Hostby

We use dual processor servers here. The main reason is that we run some pretty intensive database updates. These used to cripple the machine for anything else during runs. With two processors everything feels that much more responsive. If you just want to run Quake then don't bother. If you wan

Problems with rpm executing scripts.....

Has anyone any idea why rpm should suddenly stop executing install scripts? I've recently tried to install several rpms. rpm -ivvv shows the initial file checking. Last line is 'executing preinstall script (if any)' and rpm simply ends, no coredump, no error message, no install. rpms without scri

Another option is fax2send (www.fax2send.com). Far easier than hylafax to set up, took 2 mins on my system. Server + 4 clients send only for free. (Win clients if reqd) e-mail -> fax. $10 to receive as well. (shit, it's only 10 bucks) $99 for unlimited users. Worth a look for nuffink anyway.

Windows does that, but then that's Windows for you. The thing to do is: tar tf filename.tar.tar If you get one entery 'otherfilename.tar' then it is indeed a tarball in a tarball. No need for one of those though. = Original Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at 6/06/00 04:13 >> >> >

It's not necessarily all a bad thing. We used to run a RH5.2 box as a database server for a 2Gb database. This was really bottlenecked on drive I/O so I tried software RAID 0. This worked just dandy and the system looked after us for 2 more years. I've got to say though that a hardware solution a
