If you thought Unix's handling of the date, being seconds since Jan 1, 1970, in a 32 bit value, was weird, I quote your from the Win32 API help: The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601.

Re: fixed, please ignore!
Hi Hamish, Hi again. Sorry about this. I forgot that you had to use smbpasswd to set the passwords. It works now from smbclient on a couple of machines although my NT has gone into denial mode and wants a restart I think. I was going to reply to your previous message and the I got this one. I am glad that your problem is solved. I recently took over maintenance of the samba package. Starting with samba_1.9.18alpha12-1, sambades gets replaced (conflicts with) sambades. The reason is that in the new 1.9.18 series, support for encrypted passwords has been built in without the need for the libdes libraries. This makes Samba exportable without any legal problems. The version in Hamm right now is samba_1.9.18alpha12-1. I created a samba_1.9.18alpha13-1 that I never released but now I am planning to release 1.9.18alpha14-1, that was released a couple of hours ago. 1.9.17p5 is out there but I am not packaging that because the release of the 1.9.18 series is inminent. Also, the current alpha series have reached a high degree of stability, which makes them suitable to be delivered a Debian quality software. I recomend you upgrade to Samba 1.9.18alpha14-1, that will be available by tomorrow. Regards, E.- -- Eloy A.

Re: Bootdisk for PCMCIA?
Lukas Eppler wrote: Hi, Is there a boot floppy set which supports installation over a pcmcia network card? If not, how is the simplest way to do it? Not that I know of. I've recently installed Debian on 3 laptops, mostly by stumbling around in the dark until something worked. My latest and easiest attempt was: 1. Download Rescue, drivers, base disks, pcmcia-cs*.deb, pcmcia-modules*.deb and dhcpcd*.deb 2. Boot from rescue disk, install drivers disk and base disks. 3. Reboot when prompted 4. Just before running dselect for the first time, switch consoles; install pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules; the version number for pcmcia-modules should match the one for the kernel. I wasn't sure which one to get, so I downloaded them all and tried one after another until one worked. 5. Since Dartmouth now supports DHCP, I also installed dhcpcd so I wouldn't have to wait a week for the computer center to give me another IP address. If you are not using DHCP, then you will need to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts to include your IP address, etc. These should be picked up from the numbers you typed in during the install, but I switched to DHCP before I figured this all out. 6. Insert network card, which should now be recognized and started automatically. 7. Switch back to the first console and continue with dselect as usual. A couple of notes: I've had a little difficulty with the dhcpcd package; normally, it works just fine. Wait 10-15 seconds, and magically the system gets an IP address and sets all the routing tables by itself. Sometimes, though, after coming out of a suspend, it seems to lose the network card completely, until I manually do ifconfig eth0 down followed by ifconfig eth0 up, which seems to cure whatever ails it. Also, now that I think about it, I've been installing from unstable/. I've needed to install the latest libc5 and libc6 before I could install pcmcia-cs from unstable/. I followed the libc5 to libc6 HOWTO slavishly here and had no problems. I'm typing this from memory, so I may have forgotten some details.

booting debian on IBM thinkpad 760ED 3COM 3c562
As perhaps others have already posted here, you must use the special/tecra 2.0.29 rescue disk to boot linux on an IBM thinkpad 760ED. This is great, but I'd like to use kernel 2.0.33 instead. The problem is that I don't know what changes to the kernel have to be made. Can anyone tell me or point me to the patch(es)? Also, I tried using the pcmcia-cs 2.9.6-3 package to get my 3Com 3c562 card going. However, when I insert the card, it isn't recognized properly.

Yes, because it is mounted as /var/lib/dpkg/methods/cdrom or something
like that.
If not, how can I mount a CD and where do I find it ?
Please help :-)
You can mount a cd (if it is not mounted already with a command like:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/{your cdrom} /cdrom
provided that you fill in the correct device for {your cdrom} and /cdrom
exists (it probably does.) It might even work when you leave out the -t
iso9660 part, because it is the default fs type.
Unmount with:
umount /cdrom ,
provided you (or another user/process) are not in a directory beneath
/cdrom when you try to unmount (you'll get an error saying the device is
busy.)
In my /etc/fstab I have a line that says:
/dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
With this, I can mount a cd a mortal user by typing mount /cdrom.
Read about it in the mount and fstab manpages (oh, dang, you have to
install the manpages first - from your cdrom ;-)
Good luck!

Re: libc5 to libc6: purge or install
Your libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.txt saves many people from ruinning their operating systems. A few changes could save a few more people. When a person ruins zher operating system by badly adding packages from hamm, zhe consumes weeks of time. You might save tens of people a hundred wasted hours each. Didn't save me. I followd the instructions on an old test system here and STILL managed to blow it up. I was tired and cranky ... got to the part where I manuall did a dpkg on libc6 ... but it conflicts with libc5 ... (dpkg -i libc6_2.0.4-1.i386.deb) so without thinking I did a dpkg -r --force depends libc5 thinking that my next command would be to install libc6 ... there was no next command on that system. the libc5 from hamm doesn't conflict with libc6. So, you should have installed the libc5 from hamm, before installing libc6. I'm sure that is mentioned in the libc5-libc6-mini-howto. This seems the correct approach.

silly gateway networking
I'm trying to set up a Debian system here on my office network. However, I don't know exactly how to go about it, because the setup is not the straightforward one-IP-per-computer schema. There is one computer which has a dedicated dialup PPP connection, and runs a gateway. Thus all the other machines' net requests go through that box - anyway, it's a super-cheap setup. My question is, how do I configure Debian (with the blue/grey curses configuration that you get on the rescue disk) on this kind of network? What, for example, do I put in for the domain name? The PPP connection does have a static IP, so maybe that's a little helpful. Thanks, you guys have been real helpful!
