[gentoo-user] Samba setup, I dunno what to do here. :\
Hi, I have a little network here. We have a cable modem that connects to a Linksys router then we have two computers that hook to it and share the internet. I have my Gentoo Linux box that I just installed samba on. She has a Windoze XP box. I think I have my samba set up, not real sure though, but I can not figure out the windoze box. I can ping the IP address of her windoze box from my Linux box, no clue on how to do that on her windoze box so I assume it can see my box too. Can someone hold my hand and get this so I can get this to work? She seems to get hers pretty buggy and not boot and I just want to set it up so that she can drop her Documents folder on my system each night for a back-up. Sorry windoze, you suck.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} recovering data from a Memory Stick
Is it possible to recover data (photos) that have been deleted from a Sony Memory Stick? It depends. On what happened, what you do next, and the amount of time (or money) you are willing to invest. How can I get a look at what is really in there? Use dd to make a backup (that is, copy the contents of the stick (the raw bits, not the files) to your harddisk, and work on that copy. You can use your favorite hex-editor (there are a bunch of them in portage) to recover the directory-structure (or what is left of it). :-) You won't have ANY success with it, if you don't understand a bit about filesystemstructure and how to use the tools you want to use. Its very likely that you will destroy data if you are not careful. There are a few things you can try, depending on your knowledge. You could use the forensic toolkit sleuthkit (and perhaps its web-frontend autopsy). For recovering photos, I have had good results by just searching for jpeg-headers (first 4 bytes, assuming you have jpeg-images, ofcourse) and simply cutting a bit more than your average filesize after the header. Result of that will depend from your usage pattern on the Memorystick, that is, if you delete all files, than make new photos, or just delete some files (which results in fragmentation, which will prevent the copy-x-kb-after-jpeg-header- approach). There are some other ways, but these are the simple ones. In any case, MAKE A BACKUP!!! before you try to recover the files. HTH.

Also, you have 'guest ok = yes' and no valid users specified, so *any* user OK, it's now a few minutes later and I've looked these up in man smb.conf.

On these other hand, why would you want to hide the very files she's supposed to be accessing? Even sillier with the vetoing - now she can't access them at all! In other words, what you have here is a partition with all files *whose path contains* 'Donna-windoze' hidden, everyone prevented from accessing (writing *or* reading) them, and then hidden again because of this.

[gentoo-user] LDAP? SSH? How to logon to network?
My school uses Macs. They run Mac OS X Server. At each computer in the computer lab, each student is able to logon using their username and password to their own desktop because each computer is authenticated remotely and their home folder is a remote mount. All programs run locally. At studentserver.myschool.org, they run an appletalk file share server, perhaps another sort of file sharing server, and an ssh server, all of which I can logon to using my username. At queenbee.myschool.org, the school runs an ldap server which is used for authentication on each of the computer lab computers. Logged in as administrator, I looked at the directory services program to obtain ldap information. They connect to the queenbee server and use the base of dn=. Also part of this string is cn=config and it is setup to get all details from server. All user name entries have the normal objectType=posixAccount in addition to some unique apple attributes. One of the attributes is homeFolder. For me, this is located at /Network/studentserver.myschool.org/Volumes/Hive/myUserName. Logged onto my account using a mac, in addition to my home folder being present as I have all my settings unique to me, I can type cd ~ in terminal and get my homefolder, which is mapped to this path. I can also cd /Network/studentserver.myschool.org and peak around. My authentication to this server is based on my username and the group that I'm in (which was authenticated by ldap before), so it is safe to conclude that studentserver.myschool.org also logs into this ldap server and authenticates me using normal credentials. I installed Linux on one of the G5 towers. How can I set the computer up such that users are able to login to it using their username and password and have their home folder be their server share? OpenLDAP? SSH? AFP? I have tried openldap and I have been unable to get that to work (ldapsearch -x 'uid=myusername' works but I can't get system wide authentication working). If I did get OpenLDAP to work, what about the home folder? The homeFolder attribute ldap mentions refers to a specific place already existant on the mac computer (/Networks/studentserver.myschool.org), so perhaps the equivalant would be to have /Networks/studentserver.myschool.org in /etc/fstab and mounted. The next question, however, is how can I have this mount like a normal device directory which uses normal authentication? I have tried specifying nfs as a fs type, but this does not work. Perhaps I can utilize the existance of an ssh server running? What about afp? But then I have to be careful that it uses the normal system wide authentication mechanism (that authenicates my access to local folders, for instance) and not a logon of its own. And on top of that, even after getting OpenLDAP to authenticate system wide, how will it know to make the homefolder based on the homeFolder attribute? Or perhaps there's another way to do this, completely through ssh, but that's doubtful. Any ideas? -- Jason A. Donenfeld Deep Space Explorer -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I enabled it, restarted sshd, logged out of myth13 and back into it again and now xclock displays properly here. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] missing domainname
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Running all ~x86 system. After upgrading to the latest sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre17 and reading the Changelog (but nothing in einfo) saw that there's a new package to manage resolv.conf info: resolvconf-gentoo. By now have just quickly scanned man resolvconf (after emerging it) to check how to manage /etc/resolv.conf and eventually the missing domainname info. To go back to 'subj', there's no more /etc/init.d/domainname script so had to remove it manually (rc-update del ...). Now #domainname returns (none). Will look further but will also appreciate any hints given ;) PS: IIRC there's a domain whatever line in resolv.conf and maybe some changes in net.example to setup domainname.
