Subject: How to configure Samba for Win95 domain logons
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 22:43:45 GMT
I'm currently running a small NT 4.0-based client/server network with a few
Win95 clients. I just installed Slackware in a dual-boot configuration on
the NT Server. What I'd like to do is wean off NT and move all file/printer,
Browser and logon authentication servcies over to Linux/Samba. I've installed
a number of Linux systems, but I've never used Samba. And I've spent the
past several days reading man pages and faqs, but I've been so far unable to
get the Linux box to either recognize any of the current Win95 passwords or
provide Browsing support for the network. Can anyone give me simple
step-by-step guidance in configuring Samba to accept current user passwords
and to provide proper Browsing facilities? The smb.conf file is set as
follows (I'm listing only those parameters that're relevant to the problem):
[global]
workgroup = <DOMAIN NAME>
hosts allow = 192.168.0 127.
log file = /usr/local/samba/log/log.%m
security = user
os level = 33
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon script = %U.bat
dns proxy = no
[homes]
browsable = no
writable = yes
[netlogon]
path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon
guest ok = yes
writable = no
share modes = no
browsable = yes
write list = @admin @root
One item of note, I'm using Samba v1.9.18p7 which was installed during the
Slackware 3.5 install. There doesn't appear to be a mksmbpasswd.sh file on
the system anywhere. One of the documents refers to making a subpasswd file
for encrypted passwords. Since I haven't got this file, could this be the
cause of the problem I'm having getting Samba/Linux to provide Browser
services and/or to recognize user passwords? If possible, please email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.

These are Linux utilities. Under NT, you would have to use an NT firewall
product. I have no experience with these except for reading reviews and
postings. Check out Checkpoint Firewall-1, Conseal Firewall, WinGate.
Check out the comp.security.firewalls newsgroup... they often talk about

Subject: `hostname` and DNS name -- relationship??
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 22:31:03 GMT
What relationship exists between the host and domain
1 - names created THROUGH DNS, and
2 - names maintained APART FROM DNS and returned by 'hostname'
The latter are installed at startup by rc.sysinit and involve
/etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/HOSTNAME, and environment variable
HOSTNAME. Installation defaults seem to be "localhost.localdomain."
"subdomain" is also in the picture.
These do interact. But documentation for the former never mentions the
latter.
I set up DNS today on my 2-host network. I created domain dbm.bogus
which now consists of
micron.dbm.bogus
emach1.dbm.bogus
Afterwards the hostname of localhost.localdomain" was still lingering
around in the abovementioned files and variables. And so lookups of
just "micron" or "emach1" by nslookup or host appended "localdomain"
and sought the address for
"micron.localdomain"
"emach1.localdomain"
instead of appending "dbm.bogus." Resulting in timeout and failure.
And other stuff like that.
I changed the local hostname, to force a match with the DNS names I'd
invented earlier in the day. But since this seems like a necessity not
an option, why is it totally unmentioned as a DNS installation step
in every piece of literature I've been reading? What am I missing?

Hi
I'm using the ISC DHCP server on a 2.2.1 kernel. The Win98 machines have no
problems using the DHCP server. But the Linux machines are always loosing
leases. I can see (with iptraf) that the NICs of the linux machines send
ARPs to FFFFFFF.. and don't get a reply. After this the machine stops the
NIC.
Do I have to enable reverse ARP (or so) in the Kernel on the server to get
this workin?

Subject: UDP masquerading in 2.2.1
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 14:16:43 +0000
Hi,
I'm using ipchains to allow my linux box (RH5.1 upgraded to 2.2.1)
to do masquerading for the rest of the network (192.168.1.x).
It works perfectly for TCP applications, but I'm having problems
with UDP. When I switch my main machine into Win95 to play games
(StarSiege Tribes), the networking suffers ... frequent lagging and
periods where it simply will not receive any data from the ISP at
all. When I run other applications such as telnet or Netscape from
the Win95 box they connect immediately and smoothly.
When I change to running DUN from the Windows box itself, the
system also works fine.
So, I seem to have a stability problem with masquerading UDP under
ipchains. Has anyone experienced this before, and is there any
solution?
Please email as well as posting.
Regards,
Vin

you looked for in.ftpd?? It's called by inetd, as opposed to running all
the time. Is it referenced in /etc/inetd.conf? Did you do the full install
of RH5.1 or did you try to pick and choose (very easy to get in trouble
this way)??

This is possible

OR buy the bootmanager from Data Becker" software, and - IF THERE OR NO
PROBLEMS WITH THE A20-LINE (put it on fast and not on normal in your
setup) - you can install a "bootmenu" in a FAT 16 DOS partition, so in this
case you have just to make with fdisk a small DOS-partition and there you

The commands I'm using (I may have misread the HOWTO) are:
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
I also found that you have to:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
This has worked for me, without the need to insert the masquerading mods
(at least for FTP, CVS, and HTTP).

I believe a certain high ranking 3Com executive believes publically
supporting Linux would be too risky to 3Com's relationship
with Microsoft.
I believe 3Com considered participating in SSC's "Cool it works with
Linux" logo program, and decided not to because they didn't want
the burden of answering Linux-related tech support calls, even before
fear of Microsoft's retaliation came into the picture.
FWIW, my Linux system got the full 128K throught an Impact IQ,
with a USR "Total Control" RA box at the other end. I was telecommuting.
128K was tedious to use Signalscan. Synopsis Design Analyzer
worked great. Lotus Notes Client for Solaris was utterly unusable,
taking 15 seconds or more to echo a keystroke.

If you are just trying to link two Win98 computers for file & print sharing, try the
NETBEUI protocol instead of TCP/IP. If that doesn't work double check your cables,
and if you are using coax make sure you have T-connectors & terminators. The NETBEUI
protocol is a Microsoft protocol.

Try the following web sites:

http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/
These are about netatalk, which will let your Mac see your Linux hard
drive and/or printers. To share a SuperDisk connected to the iMac, you'd
need to go the other way. I've not tried this yet, but I'm told the afpfs
package is what's needed for that. Try:
