I have seen several requests for samba.lrp in the past few weeks. Has anyone gotten it working on Bering? I have been toying around with it a bit this weekend with the goal in mind of using the firewall as a file server as well. I use Netscape set up with user profiles that all point to a common networked drive so email and bookmarks are common anywhere the user logs in. The Bering box is the one machinre that is always on so it is a perfect choice for the server to hold the profile data. The biggest difficulty I have is trying to maintain configuration changes since Samba is too large to back up to a floppy. My plan is to get an ide disk set up and accessable from Bering then I can back up to it. once I get samba working I can use it to copy the modified packages to trhe machine where my CD writer is so I can set up a bootable CD with the complete set up and only use the ide drive for file storage.
Now the next question. I have used RedHat 8.0 fdisk and mke2fs to partition and format the ide drive as a type 83 single partition. Once installed in the Bering box, how do I mount it? mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt for example results in an error # mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt hdc: driver not present hdc: driver not present hdc: driver not present mount: Mounting /dev/hdc1 on /mnt failed: Device not configured Additionally thinking that type 83 was incorrect I tried /sbin/mkfs.minix /dev/hdc1 and got # /sbin/mkfs.minix /dev/hdc1 hdc: driver not present mkfs.minix: /dev/hdc1: Device not configured What am I missing? ls /dev lists hdc1 as a device.
