thanks for the advice. my resolve order in smb.conf is wins bcast
lmhost host, and from ./samba/log.nmb it looks like it's the wins server
getting it wrong:
wins_process_name_query: name query for name TATOOINE<20> returning
first IP 127.0.0.1.
i guess that the wins component looks up the hosts ip address in
/etc/hosts (?) but on what basis is it deciding that the 'first' IP is
127.0.0.1?
cheers again,

Subject: dhcp problem
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 1999 15:28:21 GMT
I'm using dhcp for Win95 and Win98 clients on two subnets. Now, when I moved
a PC to the other subnet, the same IP address that was used before is
assigned. Is there some way to avoid this, besides modifying the lease file
or waiting for the lease to expire?
# dhcpd.conf
#
option domain-name-servers 192.168.2.3;
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.2.20 192.168.2.100;
option routers 192.168.2.3;

Date: Fri, 23 Apr 1999 15:30:23 GMT
Hello all!
I'm very sorry for the subject, as it seems to become rather annoying,
but I've got no idea what to do about it!
Well, the problem is:
Linux box with samba - it can browse, mount and use NT shares without
difficulty.
NTsp4 box - it can do the same with linux shares, but only from "DOS" prompt
or from things like "Start->Run","Start->Find->Computer"
Configuration: NT-network is in Workgroup mode, not in NT-domain. All
computers are in the same subnet, but WINS-server exists (that wasn't
my idea) and located in another workgroup. The scope id is set to some value.
smb.conf:
[global]
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = guest
invalid users = root
map to guest = Bad User
domain logons = no
netbios name = my_computer
security = users
workgroup = WG
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = no
wins server = XX.XX.XX.XX
os level = 0
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
name resolve order = wins host bcast
.......
[prn]
comment = Epson Stylus 1000
browseable = yes
path = /var/spool/lpd/lp
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest account = guest
[homes]
comment = Homez
browseable = yes
read only = no
create mode = 0750
where guest is the valid Linux account.
I also tried to set up lmhosts file on NT box, adding there something like:
XX.XX.XX.XX my_computer
or
XX.XX.XX.XX MY_COMPUTER
with and without #DOM:WG appendix - with no result.
smbd is running with -d10 option, so log information is rather complete,
but what a strange thing - when I do "Refresh" from NT explorer nothing
new appears in the log file (and in explorer window too...). Sure, when I
connect to linux share from Start->Find->Computer, there hundreds of
kilobytes appear in log file.
What's happening?!
Thanx in advance, Valeriy.

I hate to reply to my own posts, but.....
I ended up changing one winblows box to 192.168.1.2 and the card it was
plugged into to 192.168.1.1. That almost fixed it. I could ping both
boxes, one spiratically. So, part of the problem turned out to be a bad
cable ( it had good pings < 0.2 ms, but 60% PL). The other part must have
been a routing issue, and it is fixed by moving to different subnets. Seems
to work well, but I'm still up for a different solution if anyone has one.

this might be really obvious, but have you compiled your kernel with
the appropriate options? Standard kernels won't forward packets
between different ethernets AFAICR...

Subject: no_root_squash
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 1999 15:14:51 GMT
I'm trying to set up a NFS fileserver/client combination.
I've set no_root_squash, but whatever user I'm using on the client machine, it
will always set the user to 'nobody nogroup'.
The line in /etc/exports is:
/extra/data (rw, no_root_squash)
and the line in /etc/fstab on the client machine is:
fs1:/extra/data /extra/data nfs defaults 0 1
If I change the line in /etc/exports to: /extra/data 10.1.1.1(rw,
no_root_squash) (where 10.1.1.1 is the client machine IP-address) this will
result in this line in /var/log/daemon.log on the server machine: Apr 23
19:12:52 fatboy mountd[2102]: Blocked attempt of 10.1.1.1 to mount
/extra/data
I'm using Linux 2.2.6 on both machines with nfs/nfsd as modules (no sun
nfsd emulation)
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

At present, the official Xfree86 X-server not support Savage 3D. But
you can find
an unofficial X-server at s3.nextmill.com or upgrade to kernel 2.2 and
then upgrade to VESA 2.0, this is the way to make Voodoo Banshee, Trio3D

Subject: Remote Data Gathering Connection
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 1999 15:11:54 -0500
I have a remote RH5.1 box with 8-port serial card that is using dedicated
PPP link back to RH5.1 connected to LAN. The serial card serves several dumb
terminals and a couple of data-collection devices. In order to hook the
remote terminals up to my Risc6000 J40 server, I must telnet into the R6000,
logon root, then issue "ap -111 -dcdon" to AIX to hook into Advanced Pick,
the database engine. This works just fine for terminals and is in production
use. However, data-collection is a problem since there is no way to issue
the necessary logon commands. Is there a way to automate via scripting or
"chat" these data-collector logins? These are full-time, dedicated links,
and should be re-connected if they ever go down. Can someone suggest the
proper way to implement this?

Date: 23 Apr 1999 20:04:59 GMT
full_backup ... properly loads the right device driver modules,
and the tape driver _starts_ to run. It soon halts, though,
and nothing has been written to tape.
cartis 1 and label_tape (think that's the right name) ran
seemingly successfully.
Once halted after 10 to 15 minutes of waiting, afbackup e-mails
me a message that it was unable to operate the tape drive
(sorry, forget exact wording). full_backup is being run by
root, so permissions should not be an issue.
The ftape home page says that afbackup is supposed to work with
the ftape driver.
'tob' works, but afbackup seems more appropriate for my nascent
home-network.
Any thoughts as to what might be wrong -- would be much appreciated.
I've tried both the current Debian/slink version as well as
downloading & compiling the original source.

... in other words, I specify the local IP address in Window's TCP/IP
configuration. I was just concerned, because the ISP's directions said
to choose Dynamic allocation there. If dial-up adapter can still assign a
dynamic address and route most packets that way, then it should
work. Is this correct?
If what I wrote above is true, then I have another question: does Win
have a routing table? If not, how can I tell it to talk to the linux box
when it sees its IP address but send everything else via the dial-up
adapter?
Thanks.
