SAMBA: %G substitution wrong
Hai, I posted a simular question in the samba lists, but still no answer, maby you know this. When I use 'include = \etc\smb.conf.%G in the smb.conf configuration file. the %G is somtimes substituted as nogroup. (nogroup is the gid of the user nobody.) When this happens, a user from a group cannot see there browse list because there configuration is in a other configuration file. (smb.conf.quality for example) I use all the programs from the Debian 2.1 CD Rom Set (Linux Kernel 2.0.36, samba 1.9.18p10) Hope you can help because I don't really have a clou on how to create different configurations for my different workgroups in the office.

Re: Centralized script ...
Hai, I go for the debian way to. Something complete diferrent, but Windows has centralized settings (user.dat/system.dat) you cannot simple copy a program to a other system without knowing the complete settings in the resource files. When I program software (I'm a Win32 programmer that maintains a network based on a Linux File Server (Debian ofcourse) ) I always use the *.ini files, because user can add/remove/change settings much more easely.

SAMBA: Permissions
Hai All, I posted this one into the samba list (some time ago), but still no solution.. (Win95 == Samba on Debian 2.1) I have two people with groups: Ries (it, quality), Thijs (quality) I have two shares named: It and quality. In both shares I have (not world readable): directory mask = 0770 create mask = 0660 So I Ries can Read/write in the quality share , but Thys can ONLY read/Write in quality share, not in the it share. If Ries writes something in quality, the file has the follwoing user:group permission: ries:it If I use the force group = quality in the quality share (so if ries writes it becomes ries:quality) then everybody can read the data in the quality share (even if RW permissions are 0770/0660) 1- Ries must Read/Write write in IT and Quality 2- Thys my only Read/Write in Quality 3- Thys MUST beable to read/Write the files written by Ries Any clues? Or do I miss a point here? Regards, Ries van Twisk
ipmasq package
Hai, I have installed the IPMASQ package, and now I can ping myself. I now that this has something to do with the firewall rules, but I can find any documentation on how to use the IPMASQ package. I did do a man ipmasq, and looked in the /use/doc/ipmasq directory but I can't find any good example. My setup is very seimple, just mu network on eth0 (192.168.1.x) and a ISDN router on eth1 (192.168.2.x). Hope you can help me with this Ries van Twisk
DNS for workstations using DHCP
Hai, My workstations currently have static IP adresses, and I'm planning to change this to a DHCP protocol. I already have a DHCP daemon running on my unix box witch gives IP address in the range of 32..254 (CLASS C network). I use 1..32 for the current workstations (staticly assigned). On my unix box I have a hosts file to name al my workstations (running Win95) so I can ping CP6 (CP6 is the name of one of my workstations) succesfully. If I use DHCP, I cant to PIN CP6 anymore because my IP is dynamic. My questions is can I use bind to solve my problmen? Is it posible to assign IP addresses to workstations using a look up table. So CP6 will always get's 192.168.1.6 as his IP address? Best Regards, Ries van Twisk

OFF TIPIC: Programs in linux for children in age of 10-15
Hai, I know that this is a bit Off Topic, but hopefully you can answer these.. Are there any programs on Linux/Debian for these ages (10-15)?

I need programs like 'Reading a clock', 'Spelling programs', 'Simple Math' just the basic stuff for the children to learn. Best Regards, Ries van Twisk (Happy Debian user ;-) )
Re: Undersanding bootable media
At 11:16 AM 7/3/1999 -0800, you wrote: In my quest to understand booting/LILO/MBR's I've come a cross a phenomenon I dont understand. Friend of mine (linux guru-ish) said that to make a linux bootable floppy you had to use a lowlevel tool like dd as opposed to just copying the files over to the floppy. But dos floppies boot just fine by making copies of other dos boot disks. BUT I tried to copy the files from a dos boot disk onto an CDR, and guess what? It wont boot. Despite the fact that it contains the exact same files as the floppy. I understand that in order for media to be bootable it's MBR needs to contain a program to point to the OS, so how does a copied dos-boot disk work?Thanks, marlon -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null Most of the time just copy file from one disk to another disk is not enough. As soon as your computer us booting, the processor is starting at some point in ROM. ROM does some checking, calls the BIOS etc. etc. I don't know the exact procedure of the system anymore because of all these new fancy BIOS types, PNP etc. etc. Anyway at some point the computer has determined that it's all up and running, monitor is connected, keyboard is connected and decides that it's time to look for something to go furter. That's where the bootloader comes in. The computer read's the first 512 bytes from the very first sector on a HD or floppy drive. That little peace of program is loaded into RAM and started (JMP RamAddres_of_loaded_512_Bytes) from this point's it's all upto the bootloader on how to load the file system. If it was a DOS file system it properly load's the partition table (for a HD) and seek's for a bootable partition, that that partion is started at a simular way the bootloader is started (for a HD it is done it two stages because in the early day's there was no partition table so you can load the filesystem directly). On how it's done in linux I realy don'y know but this is the general way to load a filesystem. So in short, the must be some sort of a bootload at the first sector of a media to load a file system. This is nothing to do with the filesystem itself (DOS, OS2, NTFS, ext2, etc, etc (etc is NOT a file system but stands for etcetera) ;-) ) Best Regards, Ries van Twisk
