Sure. And a well-tuned Mustang can outperform a poorly tuned Ferrari (that
happens to have four flat tires and be towing two tonnes of concrete blocks
on a sledge). But, tune the Ferrari, and remove the artificial constraints
placed on it (flat tires, etc.), and I'm sure that the Ferrari would outstrip
the Mustang.
I'm sure that Ford would *never* stoop to such a test ;-)

Yes. You can't do this kind of thing with Win9x. I have a feeling NT
supports it with the right software additions.

Subject: RH Samba and NT4
Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 11:04:23 +0200
I'm using smbmount to mount some directories from an NT machine on an Linux
RH machine.
However, whenever the NT reboots or there is a network problem, the samba on
the linux disconnects the shared directories, and I need to run again the
smbmount commands
to re-mount the NT directories on the Linux.
Is there a way to configure samba to remount the devices whenever there is a
network problem ? Maybe some other way to do it ?
Thanks,
Marius.

Salut Luc
Si tu as Mandrake je suppose que tu es francophones.
la SN3200 est 100% compatible NE2000, donc il suffit d'installer ta distribution
linux en choisissant compatible NE2000 (ou PCI NE2000) pour le declarer.
Si tu veux recompiler ton noyeau, va dans /usr/src/linux et tapes : make
menuconfig (ou make xconfig si tu es sous X Window).
lors du chois du driver reseau, prend PCI NE 2000 (si elle est PCI bien sur)

In that case, then the network is most likely sufficiently large to
warrant you running some sort of DNS service. If you make sure that all
the addresses that you're DHCP server is giving out are catered for by
DNS, then the slow login problem won't happen.

AFIAS, that's a DNS problem, not a sendmail problem.

Roughly agreed. And if there is concern about relaying, then you should
make sure Sendmail only accepts incoming connections from the right
places.

Quite true, it does that *before* transfer.

It does work it out by DNS, but it's done before the transfer itself.
<snip>
If Sendmail is having problems resolving addresses then you need to look
elsewhere for the solution, IE, why your nameserver isn't working
properly.

AFAIK autodetection doesn't work with NE2000 (clone) cards.

: I know that NetBIOS and SMB are not routable protocols, but I heard

: about this ?
SMB is routable - but NetBIOS isnt. SMB runs atop TCP, i think (not sure).
I have about the same setup as yours.
SMB shares should be visible (as mine currently are) as soon as you have
enabled IP4 packet forwarding. I assume you have some shares set up on
the windows machines using Client/File Sharing for Microsoft Networks.
If you have a netware server on there or for some other reason (eg games)
need to be able to route IPX/SPX, you need IPXRIPD and kernel
IPX support. IPXRIPD installs a program called IPXD which
does the business. If you need a copy of my config file, let me know.
IPXRIPD is on SunSite.
Also, you will need to put your linux box's ip address in the gateway
section of TCP/IP config under windows. But I guess you have done that
if you can ping...
I think that is all you should need to make it work...
As for briging, read the bridging howto (URL Below) and get a program called
brcfg. You
will also need kernel support. Again, brcfg will be
on sunsite.

Don't mess around with sendmail.cf. Have look at the .mc files:
activate in sendmail.mc
define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE�, `True�)dnl
define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS�, `e�)dnl
FEATURE(`nocanonify�)dnl
define(`confSERVICE_SWITCH_FILE�, `/etc/service.switch�)dnl
And /etc/service.switch:
hosts files
aliases files
Have a look into /usr/share/sendmail/ or locate cf.m4 or look at
