[SLUG] Linux as server in Mac environment

Hi, My Dad is running a network of three Mac LC II's on Mac OS 7.5/7.6, one machine acting mainly as file server, two as work stations. He's happy enough with this setup, but would like to have dialup access to this network to do work from home. I'm thinking that a nice solution, and a general cl

[SLUG] SLUG Faq-o-matic

Another solution might be to use a WIKI web... someone on SLUG mentioned it a fair while back and I installed it. Here's mine, have a play, edit some stuff under the Linux or Electronics areas. I warn people though, the server doesen't operate 24 hours a day as the power supply fan is too noisy

RE: [SLUG] Linux as server in Mac environment

O... the goold old days of NRMA IT. This is from memory and I may be wrong but your Macs may have to get changed to IP rather than Appletalk. I think these days you can get Appletalk over IP but that may require OS8 or OS8.5 not sure. My first attempt would be to get the linux box to file/pri

[SLUG] NT style Guest account in Samba.

Hi, I have a domain with 1 Samba server authenticating users. 1 NT server serving files via the enabled guest account. Now I want to add another Samba server offering a printer share. What would be the most basic smb.conf to create a totally open-to-anyone print server? Is there a NT style gues

RE: [SLUG] NT style Guest account in Samba.

Hi Bernhard (and others), The samba printer share is normally setup as a guest accessible share if you authenticate via the NT network. The default is to use user "nobody". That is, whoever is authenticated (by the NT system) to use the network is also authenticated (by the samba system). The onl

Tom, The Linux box will act just fine as a PPP dialup machine. Configured with ipchains to do NAT, and preferably a caching DNS server and DHCP daemon you should be able to browse the web quite happily from the Macs (assuming you get IP over Ethernet going on MacOS 7.x). You could also run Squi
