Yes, the nsswitch.conf is exactly the way it is on my machine (I
edit'd it manually).

My /etc/hosts file is very large but the single entry looks like this:
24.2.89.230 AB12345-A.x.yy.home.com AB12345-A
I'm static.
Using Linuxconf may help (it's on your system), but then you'll have
to play with the client setting under network (and figure out where
everything is).

Go here and follow the instructions-
http://www.linuxjournal.com/articles/sysadmin/0058.html
You have a few more steps to carry out. Also you princap entry has a
small error
:lp=/dev/hp6l:\ should be :lp=/dev/null:\
because lp is for printing to an actual local device. Since your print
is being handled
by smbprint, the local print is discarded to /dev/null.
A short explanation: Linux handles local printed by sending data to the
device specified
by the lp= parameter. Or you can use a remote lpd printer by setting
lp=: ie nothing and
using rp= and rm= like my setup:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=laser:\
:rp=lpb:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/laser/filter:
This says I have a queue called lpb on a remote machine called laser.
laser is listed in
/etc/hosts as 192.168.0.20 which is my print server box.
However, this mechanism doesn't cater for Windows printing. What we do
there is set up a
dummy local printer, and rely on the script specified by the if= to do
the printing.
Normally, this script is used to pre-process data going to the printer,
such as formatting
images, interpreting postscript, fitting 2 or 4 pages to one, or
anything else you care to
do. smbprint is a filter which sends the incoming stream to a Windows
printer.
Now read the article, and fix your printing!

Frank Ranner

Using Build 2465 of Beta 2 on 1 machine, I am able to log into my Linux
box, yes. Annoyingly though, I must login to it to use the printer or look
at files a second time (rather than just once when logging into the machine
for use). Also, despite the fact that XP tells you that it can remember
your username and password for this share, it doesn't, and it needs to be
retyped everytime. Another thing you need to be sure and do is change the
setting that allows the use of a third party SMB server for XP (and W2K).
This should solve your problem I think.
Good Luck!

Good news...
>From the responses (thanx guys!), I went on the assumption that
the problem was with the aic7xxx driver. I was going to attempt
to bring up aic7xxx_old, but before doing that, I wanted to check
on what was the latest version of the aic7xxx driver.
After much searching, I found it was 6.1.13.
http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/
The level of the driver that comes with linux kernel version
2.4.4 is 6.1.5. So I downloaded the 2.4.4-ac17 kernel (which
includes aic7xxx version 6.1.13), and then built and tested
that...
So far, success! No lockups so far... I think the newer
driver fixed the problem. So far, 6 CD's cut with
zero problems.

What you need to do is edit your pluggerrc file (you might have
put it in ~/.netscape or copy the system-wide file to that place).
In this file is where you specify what players to use.
Example, mine has:
#audio/midi: midi,mid: MIDI audio file
#audio/x-midi: midi,mid: MIDI audio file
# many: timidity -s 44100 -a -idqqqqqqq $file
# : playmidi $file
I believe it will try to use timidity first and if that doesn't
exist use playmidi(?).
Mine are commented out because I use another MIDI plugin called
npump (which uses timidity anyway I suppose).
Plugger's manpage says the following for any changes you make:
You have to remove ~/.netscape/plugin-list after changing
the configuration, or nothing will happen. This is a
netscape bug, not a Plugger bug.
You should have a plugger.7 man page that explains a few things.
BTW, if you haven't done so check out plugger's test page to see
how well it works. Good way to debug a few things.

Subject: fetchmail + deliver to several local user (variable needed)
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 09:22:09 +0200
On my ISP's server I have a mailbox with several aliases. I get the mail
using fetchmail. The entry in .fetchmailrc (the sendmail command is part of
postfix):
*****
user [EMAIL PROTECTED] there with password mysecret
options fetchall stripcr
mda '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f %F %T'
*****
With this fetching I get mails to several recipients (because of different
aliases at my mailbox), e.g. sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
My local machine name is different to my e-mail domain at my ISP, but I
have the same user names on my machine (thorn-dev, thorn-dev-owner, sympa,
...).
How can I tell fetchmail to set as %T only the name before @my.domain so
that sendmail is delivering the mail to the appropriate user on my machine?
Or is there any other good way to do this??
Thanks for any hint!!

Subject: fetchmail + multidrop
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 10:51:10 +0200
I can reduce the problem to this: I have checked out fetchmail's multidrop
mode to get mail to several alias addresses from one mailbox. The
.fetchmailrc entry:
*****
user [EMAIL PROTECTED] with password mysecret to *

mda '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f %F %T'

Running fetchmail -v -v on that, you can see the problem:

The last line shows that it is deliverd to the local user "claus", not to

I guess the reason is this line "fetchmail: line rejected,
post.webmailer.de is not an alias of the mailserver". Probably because the
user name of my ISP's mailbox includes the domain. How can I parse the
username that only the name before the @ sign is used for multidrop?

Oh, it can. Don't worry about it. This is just a question of reading
the configure file and finding out what tests it makes. As far as I recall,
all sorts of things like libarts and glide support were involved in the
setup.

Konqueror was in the base package, as I recall, which I think I had to
compile after libs (or was it the other way round). And of course, I
had to precede all that by recompiling qt ... maybe that's where the
glide stuff came in .. I recall recompiling things like libggi and mesa
several times, fixing their source to work with glibc 2.1 each time
(trivial).

Are you a troll? All this is trivial! Download a libjpeg.so.62 source
and compile it. I assure you it was no trouble. I even compiled it
against libc5 to update my second workstation while I was about it.
But please stick to precompiled binaries if you are not capable.

Subject: RH7.1 in endless loop: & mouse not detected
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 09:59:30 GMT
G'day all,
I have been trying to upgrade from Redhat 6.2 to 7.1 but the
the installed system chokes on my Logitech Wheelmouse when I boot.
I am relatively new to Linux (occasional use on my dual boot PII 333
64MB box) and would like some pointers please on my tale of woe...
My mouse has been working fine with RH 6.2 and still does since Ive
had to revert to 6.2 after many abortive attempts to get RH7.1 going.
On install (or upgrade) of RH7.1, the mouse is recognized as Generic 3
button mouse (PS/2) - same as RH 6.2 does. Mouse works fine during
install.
After install exits, I reboot. Error message, something like:
"gpm: oops() invoked from gpm.c[978]
Device or Resource busy"
Then the computer goes into an endless loop between a text login
prompt which disappears when (presumably) X tries to start and
reappears briefly a few seconds later only to disappear before I have
a chance to log in. Repeat ad nauseum. No keypresses seem to stop it.
I've tried numerous keys: Alt-Ctl-F2, Alt-Ctl-Back, A-C-Tab etc.
Nothing works but A-C-Del which only reboots into the same problem. (I
use Loadlin to boot linux)
However the shut down produces a message:
"Shutting down console mouse services [FAILED]"
How do I stop the startup looping?
How do I fix the mouse?
Why does RH7.1 choke on a simple mouse that RH6.2 happily swallows?
I've tried reinstalling using every combination of Generic PS/2 mouse,
even the Logitech PS/2 ones. All give same result.
I even tried the floppy boot disk using 'Linux single'.
At least I got a prompt.
Ran 'mouseconfig'
"There was an error reading file /etc/sysconfig/mouse
Would you like to create a new configuration?
(Would I ever!) OK
Mouseconfig can update Xfree86 configuration file?
YES
Reboot. Same problem.
It must be something simple I've overlooked...
