Subject: Help with smbmount
Date: Wed, 28 Apr 1999 15:39:39 +0100
I've been trying to mount a UNIX filesystem on a Linux box using
smbmount.
The command i've been typing is:
smbmount service name mount point -U username, as described in the
manual page.
The username and password are the ones i use to log onto the UNIX box.
I keep getting the message
mount error: Invalid argument, after typing the password in.
The message is no help whatsoever. I can access the filesystem following
a similar procedure using the smbclient command, so I know that the
command should work. I don't actually have Samba running on the Linux
box as i'm not sharing any filesystems or printers from my machine with
any Unix or NT machines.
Can anyone help?

Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 14:45:13 GMT
All:
Need help for win98 log on to linux.
I have Redhat linux 5.2 installed on PII 400. I am trying to telnet and
ftp to this linux server from a machine which OS is win98. But it
failed. The message from linux is "Incorrect user name" or "Password" is
not correct. Even anonymous ftp can not log on to linux from this
machine.
The fact is that, any other machines in my network (WIN NT, WIN95 and
linux) have no problem logon to this linux machine using the same
username
and password which failed log on from that WIN98.
I used some Win95 and WinNT tips, which modify(Or add) the regidtry with
EnablePlainTextPasswrod as dword value 0x01, it still does not work (I
had
a problem from NT 4.0 to access linux and it fixes it by doing so).
Anybody has some clue or can give me some suggestion what's wrong?
Thank you very much

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to port on LINUX a HP-UX 10.x application using the protocol
OSI/FTAM over X.25.
Where could I find an FTAM implementation + the corresponding OSI stack

Which X.25 hardware is available ?
Thanks in advance.

The best things that helped me were.
1. I took my linux cd to work and on the laser printer I opened all the
HOWTO files that I thought I needed in word and sent
them to the printer. A great reference appeared in the form of 2 2"
binders.
2. I learned that by typing "man insertmodulename.conf" I could view in
great detail all settings needed for every linux .conf file.
This was very useful right on the linux box.
3. At the shell screen I would go to midnight commander (mc) and find the
file I wanted to edit. Press alt+F2 and open a
second login screen. I could then switch from the editor to the manual by
alt+F1 / alt+F2 and achieve a very successful update.
I am running slakware 3.5 and have had redhat 5.2 on for a while. Hope this
helps.

Check that the program to be launched for incoming telnet connections (in
/etc/inetd.conf) exists (and is executable).
Also, check to see if you have /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, and
what they have to say about who can telnet in and who can't. (For more info,
read the man pages -- 'man hosts.allow', etc.)

Hmmm.... it's compiling fine on my install of RH 5.2. Which version of
gcc are you using? I use 2.7.2.3.
Here's what my struct declaration looks like in engine.c -- it
definitely has a semicolon after the 'char **lastpos' line:

Your ISP is using PAP authentication. You should use a PPP dialer that
supports PAP (I think x-isp does) or just write your own dialup script
using pppd and chat, and set your PAP options in /etc/ppp/options and
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets. Look at the ppp-HOWTO for how to do this.

So you listed your IP address for the Linux box, the IP of the cable modem
itself? And you changed the linux box's name to "customer.blah123"? Was
DHCP not reliable for your setup?

56K modem (dce)

serial int (dte)

1. Can I connect the 56k modem to the serial int ? What cable and connector
I have to use ?
2. Should I use static IP addr/DNS/default-route assignment from
the ISP ?
3. If so, what should be the router config ? DDR, NAT...
4. What should be the network config (e.g. dns) for the home office machines
?

I am a complete newbie to linux but i have fairly extensive UNIX experience
(Solaris and HPUX mainly)
Ok, i went through the HOWTO in order to set up my online service PPP
connection. (Using Redhat 5.2 with a viking 56k modem on com4) I created a
script which runs pppd with all of the options specified. for some reason my
modem is not even dialing let alone connecting.
i attempted to install a newer version of pppd (i think 2.4 but I will check)
but when i copied the software onto my hard drive from the DOS floppy i
downloaded it to (from my win98 PPP conection) and got an unexpected EOF when
I ran gunzip. this happened with several attempts to download it.
Please let me know where i go from here. thanks.

Check your /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow files to make sure
that you haven't denied access by the "portmap" daemon. If so,
then modify these files appropriately such that access is allowed
from the machine that is attempting to mount the nfs filesystem.

Almost all POP Daemons you can run on linux do not allow user(s) with
userid's under 10 to telnet in to the server and check email. You
could do the .forward command or edit your sendmail (/etc/aliases) and
specify "root : username to forward email to". You can specify a local
account to deliver all root mail to or a remote account to
automatically forward the mail to. Once you ahve made and saved the
changes you need to run "newaliases" which will force sendmail to
reload the alias database.

Subject: Problem with connect() on 2.0.36
Date: 29 Apr 1999 14:03:03 GMT
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone has seen this problem before, and can point me to a
patch/bugfix/workaround. I have some code that calls the connect()
function to connect a AF_INET socket to a remote node. The problem is
that the connect() call hangs if the remote node is not available or
able to respond (tried both cases). This happens only on Linux 2.0.36.
On later Linux versions and all flavors of Unix, the same code works as
expected - ie. the connect() call timesout and returns an error. I've
let the code hang on Linux 2.0.36 for up to 20 minutes, and the connect()
call doesn't timeout. On later Linux versions and all Unix flavors, the
connect() call timesout in 2 minutes or less.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Eric Herget
