Subject: Samba->Win98 FAILS!
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 18:03:14 GMT
I have been unable to copy large directories (~100 files @ 2.5 MBytes) from my
new Samba server to either one of my two Windows 98 clients. Inevitably,
Windows dies with the following error message midway through the copy:
"Cannot copy filexyz: the specified network resource or device is no longer
available."
At this point, I've ruled out a bad configuration by doing the tests described
in diagnosis.txt, and satisfied myself that this is not a hardware problem.
What's my next step if I want to get to the bottom of this mess? How does one
go about debugging problems with file transfers?
Here's the low down on my network:
1 Samba Server [unable to copy files to Win 98 clients]
Redhat 5.2
Samba 1.9.18p10
Celeron 333
13 Gig HD and 128MB RAM
SMC 9432 NIC using the epic100 ethernet driver
1 Samba Server [works great!]
Redhat 5.0
Samba 1.9.17p4
Intel 486
700 MB HD, 32 MB RAM
SMC ISA NIC 10 MB/s
2 Win 98 clients
1 10/100 Ethernet Switch
My smb.conf is stock redhat with the following modifications:
In global settings I added:
create mask = 770
preserve case = yes ; hate it when Samba changes case on me
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096 SO_SNDBUF=4096 ; performance is
abominable otherwise
os level = 33 ; seems to be necessary if I am to view
My shares are as follows:
/home/goppelt [implicit-my Unix home directory]
/home/goppelt/sound
/home/goppelt/music
I don't believe that the hardware such as the cables, switch and Ethernet
cards are responsible for the copy failures for the following reason:
1. The Win98 clients have no problem whatsoever transfering the directories at
high speed between each other using MS-Networking.
2. I replaced the Switch with an old 10Base-T hub and got the same behavior
albeit at slower speeds.
I've watched the transfers using Windows sysmon and what appears to happen is
this: samba quickly ramps up to 2-3 MB/s. The transfer continues at 2-3
MB/s for a while then at some point falls off to zero where it either stays
or after a pause of 10-20 seconds picks up again. If it stays at zero,
Windows dies.
Thanks for any help.

Hi;
I'm more in the mode of attempting to use Redhat Linux with Mediaone's
cable modem So far, everything seems to be working with the exception of
the DHCP; a minor inconvenience...
>From what I can gather, I need to upgrade the dhcp version from the 065
version that comes with Redhat 5.1 to ver 070. Unfortunately, it doesn't
compile for reasons yet to be determined.
I'm pretty sure that, once I get the dhcp working correctly, I should be
up on Media one with Linux.

A bit off topic but related.
I've got NT set up as the primary domain controller now. (A home
network w/ three computers, but the Linux machine is pretty much
independent of the others--nothing is shared between, on a 10baseT
eithernet.) If I shift over to a Linux box as the domain controller
with there be a conflict, merely multiple domains or can I make the
NT box a secondary controller?

I'm now expert here but does your multihomed computer (the router)
have IP forwarding enabled?
Can the client ping any of the router's NICs?
What is the client's subnet mask?
Also, can either the client or the router ping itself or the
loopback address (127.0.0.1)?

A remote name of "ppp0" is peculiar, try using quotes in the pppd option
name "s-xxxxxx" with
"s-xxxxxx" * yyyyyy
as the secrets line.
If that doesn't help, then look for clues in the PPP link negotiation
messages. These are found in /var/log/debug here but the configuration
of /etc/syslog.conf actually determines where they are sent.

Hi,
you/your girlfriend are/is lucky!
Indeed, it is possible to check one's AOL mail via Netscape under
Linux. There is a preview version of Netmail that works quite well
under Linux, I don't mean the other version of Netmail which requires
a plug-in for netscape.
Check this URL: http://netmail.web.aol.com/main.dci

Just upgraded to RH 5.2 w/Apache 1.3.3 and have spent the last several
hours++ trying to figure out and solve this same problem out.

Shouldn't but it apparently does... The entire directory structure is
755 (rwxr-xr-x) and NOTHING I have done has helped - none of the users
directories gives anything but FORBIDDEN when you try to access them.
>From everything I have been able to find, it should be working "just
fine". Ahem...
Interesting to note that there were NO problems running under 1.2 (RH
5.0).

It must be very good documentation, I've spent several hours rooting
through it trying to find something that would help. One would have
thought that anything that would cut off users public_html directory
access would be mentioned in there somewhere, but if it is I just didn't
find it. Also failed to find any contact information in any of the docs
for apache. sigh...
I also noted that Commanche screws up the (at least) httpd.conf file...
(Glad I had them all backed up :-).
Hopefully someone can help with this that has had and resolved this
problem.
I can solve it by going back to 1.2, but that seems a bit much. Yeah,
after this much time I am just a bit more than frusterated.
Hopefully someone can help with this mess.
Thanks & take care, Kira.

Hey, you are right. My problem is solved:
I createt an new file /etc/service.switch with just the lines abouve, told
sendmail to use it:
define(`confHOSTS_FILE',`/etc/hosts')
define(`confSERVICE_SWITCH_FILE',`/etc/service.switch')
and it works. All my mail on the other machine is forwarded to my mailserver,
without any DNS, NIS or so.
Thanks to you, and all the other ideas ...

Subject: compile errors with the kernel part of ppp2.3.5
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 21:49:17 +0100
PPP wasnt working properly on my slakware 3.6 system.
I read the docs to ppp2.3.5 and saw that the kernel did have to rebuilt
with some new code inserted by the make kernel command in the
installation procedure to ppp2.3.5.
Of course this will have already been included in the kernel source
installed by slackware. But I have installed a fresh kernel 2.0.36
source tree and made my current kernel from this the kernel ppp code to
complement the pppd 2.3.5 will of course be missing from my kernel. So
this might explain why things arent going right.
So this means I have to get the source and do a new installation
procedure. So I unpacked the ppp-2.3.5 source from the 1st slackware cd
in sources/n/ppp this is called pp-2.3.5.tar.gz, so guess this is the
unadulterated source code.
Then I did what the README.linux file said i.e.
./configure
make kernel (this installs the source files in the kernel source)
building the new kernel
This went OK but since I chose to make ppp as a module the problems came
when doing make modules. Then I got this when ppp.c was being compiled
