You are absolutely right! The documentation for autofs does indicate that
it will mount smbfs shares. I guess I missed that the first time through
the documentation. Thanks.
I turned the autofs utility back on, setup the auto.* files according to all
of the examples I've researched, and restarted autofs. After many tries
last evening, I still can't get it to work.
I guess if I bang my head against the wall a little harder, I might have
some success.

Sounds like you don't have a default route set-up.
Try netstat -nr and see if your router provide
shows up.

Yes, I am successfully using samba for basic file sharing, but I don't
really care for the FTP like interface. So, I'm also using smbfs and
struggling to get autofs to deal with my WinNT shares. But that's another
story.
Will samba support running Linux executables residing on FAT and/or NTFS
partitions?

Perhaps you cannot read the newsgroups title, *.linux.*. I know that a properly
configured Linux box will not crash, and I think I speak for most here -- I
don't care what NT does, I read this ng for linux info.

But it contains an annoying and unsightly bug (I know am am using it
to type this) which causes test to appear black-on-white against a
black background. Looks like something from the early 80's.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can do away with hosts.deny totally, as the extended options also have
ALLOW and DENY keywords, for use in hosts.allow...for example, I have no
hosts.deny, and instead have in hosts.allow...:
in.ntalkd: ALL: rfc931 5: ALLOW
in.talkd: ALL: rfc931 5: ALLOW
tcp-env: LOCAL: setenv RELAYCLIENT: ALLOW
tcp-env: .cej.net: setenv RELAYCLIENT: ALLOW
tcp-env: .madhouse: setenv RELAYCLIENT: ALLOW
tcp-env: PARANOID: rfc931 5: spawn (/etc/access/bin/paranoid_log %a %h %u %d &): ALLOW
ALL: PARANOID: rfc931 5: banners /etc/access/dns: spawn (/etc/access/bin/paranoid_log
%a %h %u %d &): DENY
in.fingerd: ALL: rfc931 5: spawn (/etc/access/bin/fingalert): banners
/etc/access/allowed: ALLOW
tcp-env: ALL: rfc931 5: ALLOW
ALL: LOCAL: banners /etc/access/allowed: ALLOW
ALL: 192.168.1.: banners /etc/access/allowed: ALLOW
ALL: .madhouse: banners /etc/access/allowed: ALLOW
ALL:ALL:rfc931 10: banners /etc/access/denied: spawn (/etc/access/bin/deny_log %a %h
%u %d &): DENY
As this is rules based, and rules at the top have high precedence than those
lower down, you can place all your rules in precedence order, and the last line
can be a blanket DENY for any other attempt. I prefer this much more to
seperate hosts.allow and hosts.deny - one file to manage, without any loss
of flexibility.
Banners are good fun as well, as you can create connection messages for each
service that uses tcp_wrappers, whether they are a valid connection or not.

Yes, Samba makes a better windows server than nt server himself, when
you connect
more than 25 to 30 users.....It is up to 250% faster than nt if your
using samba

I had win98 installed before and i decided to install rehat 5.2..... The

fiddling with the linux config and i guess i changed something important
cause after that i wasn't able to load windows 98 NORMALY! When i type
windows98 in lilo it says the following :
loading Windows
Warning: Logical Drives past Z exist and will be ignored
and then my computer crashes....
The only way i was able to load windows was pressing the F8 key just after i
typed windows98 in lilo so i get this menu and load windows using the
"confirm each thing" mode...... i found out that if i refuse to load
DBLBUFF.SYS i could load windows....... So i was able to load windows and
write this letter to all you nice people!
When I'm in Windows and go into the explorer i see 26 drives A-Z........ A
to F is normal and the rest is the same drive as the C one... WHAT THE
HELL??????
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! how can i fix that prob? THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!
One last thing! I tried to setup my Sound card in Linux without success.....

Note that /usr/sbin/pppd has owner root and group root (or on some
distributions dialout or pppusers). You need to make the mortal users
members to the ppp group. If the group is root, you obviously don't want to
do that. Therefore:
1) create a ppp group (if you don't already have one), say pppusers.
2) add each user to this group
3) chmod 4750 /usr/sbin/pppd
That's what I did and it works.

Well of course you do. If you _had_ included them they they would be found.

In the source of modprobe. IMHO this was a bad design decision.
You can override the defaults in conf.modules. Just alais them to "off".

That's presumably because you don't read the group. If you read the
group you wouldn't need to as the question.

Hello everybody,
I configure my Linux box as ypserver (ypbind is also running).
domainname command output the right domain but console (or if i use
command like tar) tell me that "YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN : Domain not bound".
What do i do to set YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN variable ?
Thanks for your help.

I use it as well, and it is also available in the latest Debian
distro. And, of course, you can get it on freshmeat.

Please define "able to connect". What evidence have you that you are
connected? All the evidence you present indicates that you are not
connected.

I suspect that you have upgraded your kernel since getting it working.
ipfwadm is nolonger used
for masquerading.
use ipchains instead:

It is very rarely necessary to know your own IP address in order to
set up ipchains.
