Has anybody read "LINUX NETWORK" by Fred Butzen?
Well, he said it's very easy to install Samba, specially to compile it.
I am pretty sure: he was wrong!
I found this message:

What should I do now?
I followed what the book said, but.....:(
Can anyone help me?

All :
We had this discussion a while ago in our office.
As we had two machines each which needed naming, we tried to choose logical
pairs wherever possible. TellieTubbies, children's programs characters, all the
rest.
Someone suggested famous dictators - we didn't go there.
I did hear that the Met Office in Bracknell, UK, has a pair of Cray
supercomputers called Ronnie and Reggie.

Subject: Timeout errors with PCI NE2000 clone & kernel 2.2.5
Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 11:07:20 GMT
Hi,
Last night I upgraded the kernel on my dad's machine to 2.2.5, and all of a
sudden the network card broke. It's a PCI NE2000 compatible (the chipset, I
believe, is the VIA VT86C926) and it worked fine in 2.0.36. The distribution
is RedHat 5.2.
When I boot up, I get lots of messages saying:
eth0: timeout waiting for Tx RDC.
They seem to come up at almost regular intervals ( though I could be wrong
about that - it might just be when I try to use the network) unless (of
course) I do 'ifdown eth0'.
The kernel clearly detects the card no problem (according to dmesg), and loads
the module for it, but I just can't use it in Linux. NT on the same machine is
fine too.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm just about to go back and see if the old
kernel still works (though given all the upgrades to modutils, etc., I doubt
it), but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone could help here.
Thanks in advance,
Allan

This is paranoia. While sendmail has had security issues so have loads of other
applications. In fact, Linux itself has had many security problems as has NT
workstation and server. Do you propose not using any of these if you "Care about
security" ???? there are reasons to not run sendmail on a tertiary system usually
due to its complexity, not because of real security issues. Face it, if you have a
computer connected to a network, not in a locked room and with a keyboard and mouse
it is by definition - Not Secure. On a related note, are you absolutely sure that
your replacement MTA doesn't have more security problems than sendmail ????
*Absolutely* Sure ???? I would hazard a guess that more systems use sendmail than
any other MTA. As such, security issues are found and fixed quicker than with
lesser known MTA's.......

Very sage advice .... but make sure the following lines in

O ServiceSwitchFile=/etc/service.switch
O HostsFile=/etc/hosts
Then restart sendmail ......

If all you need is the bytes transfered over a month, execute 'ifconfig
eth0'
each month and do the math.
Warning don't put your interface in promiscuous mode, the numbers go way
up.
And the additional traffic isn't yours.

You can always make yourself a new samba rpm package wich includes
smbmount/smbumount/smbmnt. Read the docs that comes with the tar.gz
package.
It is easily made :)
Some people use the old smbmount that comes with for example RedHat.
But that doesn't work for all, probably not in your case at least...
If you have a new kernel 2.2.* then u should use a newer samba 2.0.*

This is a good example of why someone looking at Linux should try a few
variants before they decide. Some people find RedHat to be very
difficult/annoying/whatever, and some (like me) haven't had any problems
getting it to work. I'm hardly a Linux guru (or a Unix guru, for that
matter), but I've been dealing with computers in one form or another for
about 15 years, and I found RedHat to make a lot of sense to me.
However, I have to admit that I tried it out and didn't look at any
other distribution. I figure once I get it installed (since the install
seems to be the primary deciding factor for a lot of people), dealing
with new kernels and such shouldn't be that big of a deal regardless of
which distribution I have.
Just my $0.02. :-)

net-pf-4 is for IPX, and net-pf-5 is for Appltalk. You seem to have
disabled IPX and Appletalk. If no IPX & no Appletalk suits you, put two
lines in /etc/conf.modules to suppress the messages:

But what do ISP's do when they give out disk(web) space and also register

Yes, but before you do that you need
route add -net ip.addy.of.remote.ending.in.zero netmask 255.255.255.255
ppp0
(That should be one line in case it wraps)
The other poster mentioned using the pppd "default route" option which
should set this up for you. Add it into your command for starting pppd.
You shouldn't really need to change any routes manually if your pppd
options are set up okay.
