All,
There are several of those utilities in Windows, but I'd rather have
one under Linux. I need to make sure such and such server is still up,
whether through PING, SMTP, etc., and receive a notice whenever one of
them stops responding (either e-mail, or net send through Samba ->
NT.)
Any good tool out there?
Thx,
FF.

two Questions from a newbie:
My Samba (2.0.3 on SuSE 6.1) works fine for my NT Clients (NT
Workstation 4, SP4)... except:
Browsing:
Somehow I can't browse the Samba-Box from the NT-Clients in the
Network-Neighbourhood. I read a short posting concerning this problem -
it was about WINS, lmhosts... maybe somebody can help me? ...tell me
where I can find a decent FAQ? Do I need to install a WINS-Server?
Printing:
I installed my HP Laserjet 4L on my Linux Box - and via Samba on my
NT-Boxes as Network-Printer... it says something like insufficient
memory when I try to print on it... Help? I am using the raw-printer.
Here is my smb.conf: (isn't too long ;-)
=============
[Global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = SHARE
keepalive = 30
socket options = TPC_NODELAY
os level = 2
guest ok = yes
[Backup]
comment = Jans Backup
path = /jan_backup
read only = No
create mask = 0750

Hello everybody,
I'm using Suse Linux 6.1 on to PCs connected through 2 3Com 509x cards.
Linux works on both of them and the network is also fine, since ping works
fine.
I'm relatively new to Linux, so I still fight with the installation of all
the nice features of Linux ;-) .
Yesterday I wanted to set up NIS and I did everything as it is described in
the Suse Handbook. No problem so far.
After rebooting both PCs, NIS did not work- the only thing I got was the
message "YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not found".
Please help me out and tell me what's wrong- and _please_ set the detail
level of your answer a little bit higher than usual, because - as I said -
I'm relatively new to unix.

Hi,
I want to create a PPP connection ... I've tried with minicom and
ppp-on/ppp-on-dialer scripts. No problem with the modem, I can dial the
Box with which I want to establich my PPP connexion, but if I type the
command "ifconfig", there is no ppp0 anymore !
I've read HOW-TO's and FAQ, and it seems to be obvious to have this

here are a few ideas for you.
first off, make sure you have the masquerading stuff compiled into the kernel
and that you have the kernel modules initialized when you boot either with
kerneld, modprobe, or insmod.
second, check out my firewall script. it might help you a lot with this
problem. it fowards all udp and tcp requests to the internet if it can't
be resolved locally.

I tried for two years to get my ImpactIQ to do MPPP in various versions of
Linux with no success. I solved my problem with a Netgear RT328 ISDN router.
Do yourself a favor and don't waste any more of your time with the 3COM. I
have a four node network(2 WIN98, 1 RH 6.0 and 1 WIN2000 Pro) in my home
office and all machines connect through the router with a single static IP
using NAT. It also will handle firewall and remote access
authentication(VPNs). For less than three hundred dollars, you can lower
stress level and get faster throughput :-). The serial connection on your TA
is a bottleneck. I picked up about 3KPS on downloads when I switched to the
router.

Check your routing, Check if LINUX security allows for access.
Can you ping ? Can you telnet from the NT to the services ? If you get
connection
refused probably you have a security issue. Happens if the hostname of the
dialling
machine is not in the HOST file or you hosts.allow / hosts.deny has closed
down many
allowed connections

Depends if you route broadcasts (SMB uses a lot of broadcasts of IP)
Also check if nmb properly announces itself on the network

I do not know how pppd sets up speed when it is a server but as a client
you can give
it a command line argument speed xxxx . Try this ... Also run strace on the
pppd so you can
see how he opens the serial port and with what parameter.

Reply-To: LEE
Hello!
THIS MAY BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LETTER YOU RECEIVE THIS YEAR!!
Please follow the instructions of this letter very carefully,
immediately
print and READ TWICE.
I know that a lot of people wish they could stay at home
and make thousands of dollars. Well...here is the program
to do just that! You may have seen the feature story
about this program on a major network TV show several
months ago. The network TV show determined that the
program explained below is a service and is 100% legal.
Take a few minutes to read over all of the information
enclosed, MAKE A COPY, then read it again. You won't be
sorry! Good Luck!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Like a lot of people, I was looking for additional income
by replying to various advertisements on the Internet and
in newspapers. Having worked most of my adult life in the
financial profession, I was very impressed by the following
proposal:
A few weeks ago I received a letter from a fellow
attorney that said:"I am a retired attorney and about two
years ago a man came to me with a letter." The letter he
brought to me is the same letter you have before you now.
He asked me to review its contents to determine if the
letter was legal. I told him I would look it over and get
back to him with my opinion.
When I first read the letter I thought it was an "off the
wall" idea to make money. A week later, I met with my
client to discuss the issue. I told him the letter as
originally given to me was not 100% legal. Naturally, I
was curious about the letter, so he told me how it
worked. After hearing the explanation, I decided it was a
"long shot", so I decided against participating. However,
before my client left my office, I asked him to keep me
updated as to his results.
About two months later, he called to tell me that he had
received more than $800,000 in cash!! Well, I didn't
believe him, of course, so he asked me to try the plan
and see for myself. I thought about it for a few days and
decided that there was not much to lose. I followed the
instructions exactly and mailed out 200 letters. Sure
enough...the money started coming in! It came slowly at
first, but after three weeks, I was getting more mail
than I could open in a day. After about 13 weeks, the
money stopped coming.
I kept a precise record of my earnings and at the end it
totaled $868,439.00! I earn a good living as an
attorney, but as anyone in the legal profession will tell
you, there's a lot of stress that comes with the
territory. I decided if things worked out, I would retire
from my practice and play golf. This time I sent out 500
letters. Well...a little more than three months later, I
totaled $2,344,178.00!!
I met my old client for lunch to find out exactly how it
works. He told me that there were a few similar letters
going around. What made this one different is the fact
that there are seven names on the letter...not five like
the others. That factor alone resulted in more returns.
The other factor was the advice I gave him in making
certain the whole thing was perfectly legal, since no one
wants to risk doing anything illegal. I know you must be
curious about the little changes I advised him to make
for the letter to be legal. Well, when sending out a
letter like this one, to be legal, you must sell
something if you expect to receive something in return.
So, when you send a dollar to each of the seven names on
the list, you MUST include a slip of paper saying:
"PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST" and include YOUR
NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, AND E-MAIL ADDRESS. This is the
key to the program. The item you will receive is THIS
LETTER and the right to earn thousands. Follow the simple
instructions EXACTLY, and in about three months, you
should receive MORE THAN $800,000 IN COLD, HARD CASH!!!
1) IMMEDIATELY send $1.00 to each of the seven names
listed below. The SOONER you send the "$1.00 LETTERS",
the SOONER you will start getting a return! Wrap the
dollar in a note saying: "Please add me to your mailing
list". Include YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, AND E-MAIL
ADDRESS. You will receive expert tips on promoting this
letter and some excellent BULK EMAIL resources.
*Remember...If you don't ask for this service, use of
this letter will be illegal for you!

2) REMOVE THE NAME & ADDRESS NEXT TO #1. at the top of
the list and MOVE the other names(#2 thru #7) UP ONE
POSITION. Then place YOUR NAME & ADDRESS in the #7 spot.
Be careful when you type the addresses. It is suggested
that you PROOFREAD to MAKE CERTAIN the names and
addresses are correct.
3) When you have completed the above instructions, you
may market the letter using the following options:
1. Bulk email
2. U.S. Postal Service
3. Flyers
4. Post FREE Classified Ads on the Internet
5. Newsgroups
This letter has been proven perfectly legal for all of
the above means, as long as you follow the instructions;
because you are purchasing membership in an exclusive
mailing list. To mail this letter out over the Internet,
you can browse through ours and find people to send it
to. All you have to do is cut and paste e-mail addresses
wherever you are on the Internet.
Another method of marketing the letter is using a Bulk
E-Mail Service to mail out letters in large volume for
you. We suggest using the Bulk E-Mail approach.
When you mail your $1 letters you will receive a
few recommendations for bulk email companies that
will supply you with fresh email addresses.
Posting FREE CLASSIFIED ADS on the Internet can also
achieve results. Simply go to a search engine(e.g. Yahoo,
Hot Bot, Lycos, Excite, Infoseek, etc. and type in FREE
CLASSIFIED ADS. You'll get a list of over 80,000 sites
where you can post ads. Remember to use a catchy title
like FREE MONEY, and post your e-mail address. When you
get an inquiry, simply e-mail a copy of this letter. The
more you send, the more you will make. It's a lot of
work...so that's why we recommend using a Bulk E-mail
Service.
We strongly encourage you to mail this letter to your
family and friends. They'll be grateful!!
THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS 100% LEGAL. You may refer to:
Title 18, Section 1302 & 1342 of the U.S. Postal &
Lottery Statute; or check it out with the U.S. Postal
Service if you have questions.
Let's assume, for example, you get a 7.5% return rate. My
first attempt, however, was 9.5%, and my second was more
than 11%.
1) When you send out 200 letters, 15 people send you
$1.00 ($15.00)
2) Those 15 people mail out 200 letters and 225
people send you $1.00 ($225.00)
3) Those 225 people mail out 200 letters and 3,375
people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00)
4) Those 3,375 people mail out 200 letters, and
50,625 people send you $1.00($50,625.00)
5) Those 50,625 people mail out 200 letters, and
759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00)
6) At this level, your name drops off the list.
Think about it. Look at what you will have received
before your name drops off the list. It looks
unbelievable, I know. Do the math...see for yourself!
Just DO IT and you'll happily believe because you'll
receive proof in the form of MANY ONE-DOLLAR BILLS!!!
Just make certain that you send a dollar to each of the
seven names on the list; including the note asking to be
added to their mailing list. Together we will all
prosper!
Well...you've read this far, so let me ask you a
question:
Q: What do you have to lose?
A: Only $7.00
Don't throw this letter away. Keep it...think about
it...and after awhile...YOU WILL TRY IT!
I looked at it for over two months, and then I said:
"It's only $7...I have to be nuts not to do it".

I had this problem myself, and it turns out that my ISP was blocking
connections to port 23 on its firewall (and told me that it would only
allow connections on a case-by-case basis!)
rlogin works fine for me, though. Otherwise you could try changing the
port telnet listens to on your box and see if that gets results.

Subject: Weird Samba/NFS file caching problem
Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 18:32:38 GMT
Hello,
I have the following setup:
* Linux Samba/NFS server holding all source code for a development
project.
* Linux laptop NFS-mounting a home directory on the server and editing
the source files.
* W95 machine mounting same home directory over Samba. This machine
runs an embedded compiler, emulator, etc.
I also run NTP to sync time between the Linux machines, and I use "net
time \\server /set /yes" to set the time on the Windows machine.
My problem is that files edited on the server from the laptop do not
update properly when accessed from the Windows machine. When I type
"make", make determines that the file has changed, and so invokes the
compiler properly to recompile the file. Unfortunately, the file
contents appears not to have updated, because I get the same compile
errors. The best way I've found to get around this is to use the DOS
"type" command to type the file to the screen. Only then does the
file completely update and compile properly (or at least with
different errors).
This continues for many minutes - at least 5 - until I finally relent
and "type" the file.
The problem goes away if I log in to the server and edit it there.
(But this solution is undesirable.) This led me to believe that the
problem was with NFS. However, remounting with the "noac" option (no
attribute caching) has no effect. Nor does explicity sync'ing the
file systems on either the NFS client or server ("sync" from shell).
Any suggestions? I'm at my wit's end.
Thanks,
Charles Wright
