Subject: Samba in mixed RH5.2/NT/Win95/Win98 environment domain problem
Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 10:48:19 -0700
We have an RH5.2 Linux server running samba-1.9.18p10-3 with Win95, NT4,
HP-UX, Win98.
The Win95 connects to the domain specified in Samba and the shared "drives"
reconnect great. All permissions work correctly (we have user directories
and a shared public). Users move between UNIX and Win95 with ease, with no
case-sensitive issues, and even share config files for applications like
Netscape and AIM.
We just added the Win98, and set the domain to the same as Win95, but it
says no domain server is found. A temporary NT4 client here has the same
problem. If we set the Win98 to a "plain" login and look in NetNeighborhood,
we see the Linux box but can't log in.
All domain names, usernames and passwords are strictly lowercase.
I've noticed that the Win98 binds NetBIOS to TCP, and I can't change it. I
don't think the older Win95 used TCP for this, but some of the doco on the
net says it did.
Any ideas? Everything is perfect on the old stuff.
e-mail or respond here. I'll post the solution when I get one.
Thank you!

Hi
I upgraded from RH5.1 to RH6.0 and I now have the following problem :
On my Linux box, I'm abble to ftp from local to it but I'm unable to ftp
on it from a remote host. In that case, I have a Login Failed after
having entered the password.
More genrally, I'm also abble for example to telnet from local but not
from a remote host. Again, samba works only locally.
Of course, the network works well.
Also, there is no entry in /etc/hosts.deny (no more than in
/etc/hosts.allow).
I'm trying to ftp with many users name (anonymous to).
I don't understand,
can someone help me ?
Tnaks in advance

The way you've removed the Novell client is not right. There is a program
called UNC32.EXE that will remove all references to the Novell client. This
is provided with the client install software. You may need to reinstall the
Novell client on the WinNT machine and then remove it using UNC32.EXE.

Hi Michael,
when I had RedHat 5.2, I managed to get running NIS quite fast (about 2
days). Now I have RedHat 6, and NIS just doesn=B4t want to authenticate
the users=B4 passwords, when users want to log from a client. It=B4s a re=
al
mystery, as NIS runs and recognises the user who wants to login, but it
rejects the password.
This is MY problem on NIS; and I also wondered if it=B4s AS difficult to
get it running :(
So, I think you=B4re not alone in the world having problems with NIS..

We allow customers telnet access to our Linux (RH 5.2) servers mainly
with the intent of allowing developers to access perl , gcc, cron, etc. .
Yet some use their telnet access to build email lists (reading /etc/passwd
or /home) or peruse around directories of other customers. We are
trying to control that.
What do other people do to restrict telnet access ? Is there a shell
that can 'chroot' to the user's home directory (similar to proftp's
DefaultRoot option) ? I imagine a restricted bin directory with softlinks
to key libraries and executables would probably be required.

although the users will be able to view files on the comp in the root (/)
directory, they shouldn't be able to change and they shouldn't be able
to access others directories. If you are having a problem with this,
use the chmod command. You can do a <i>man chmod </i>to find out
exactly how to set permissions, but you need to disable everything except
user read & write.

Subject: Help! Cannot connect to the name server / gateway
Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 13:30:25 -0500
Hi!
Here the setup of my system:
There is one machine running Redhat 5.1 acting as a gateway (doing IP
maquerading, firewalling, etc) and name server for the domain. There is
several NT machines using it as gateway and DNS, everything was fine.
Then I set up another machine with Redhat 6.0. I set it up to use the
first box as gateway and DNS. I can ping the first box, I can telnet to
it, etc. But went I fire up nslookup in the second machine, it failed with
this error:
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.100.2: Non-existent host/domain
*** Default servers are not available
Although I just ping 192.168.100.2 (the first machine) just fine!
The second machine won't use the first machine as a gateway, either, so I
cannot get the second machine to connect to outside world.
I can ping, telnet, etc to the second machine from local machines.
What possibly wrong here?
Is it possible it have something to do with the network card on the second
machine? I put 2 similar network card using rtl8139 chip (take sometime to
set it up) but turn off one of them.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Subject: EtherExpress + ISDN can't work together
I'm working under Red Hat 5.2 with EtherExpress from INTEL. To change
the i/o-port and the interrupt of the card I use a special DOS-tool,
called "softset". My NIC can use several interrupts and several
i/o-ports.
Everything works fine. Now I bought an ISDN-Card from AVM
(Fritz-Classic) for
connecting to the internet. The ISDN-Controller works fine too....
My problem is, to make them work at the same time. I tried hundreds
combinations
of interrupts and i/o-ports to make them run together.
Nothing happens. The ISDN-Controller only works, when I use
"rmmod" to get rid of the ethernet. Do I have to accept this problem?
Thanks in advance

I find it hard to believe that you would post what you just posted if
you had actually read this thread. Are you saying that masquerading
does not under any circumstances create any problems for any requested
service from any server? I'm not an expert on masquerading, but I
don't think that that is correct, if that is what you are saying.

First, make sure diald.c is including string.h. Go to the top of the
file and make sure there's a line saying:
#include <string.h>
If that doesn't work, there are either major problems with the source
file, or problems with egcs.
But, those are all warning messages so the compile really shouldn't
have died at that point. I blame egcs myself. I couldn't get
*anything* of substantial size to compile under RedHat 6, so I went
back to Slackware 4.0

Mit Deinen 270Mio Eintraegen hast Du zwei Probleme:
1. Der Switch wird passive Probleme haben, Tabellen dieser
Groesse ueberhaupt oder effizient zu verwalten.
2. Du vergisst den Faktor den Verbindungsaufbaus voellig. Wenn
Du zum Zweck der definierten Dienstqualitaet fuer jede
Verbindung einen Ende-Zu-Ende-SVC aufbaust, dann muss
dein SLA auch die Zeit umfassen, die zum Verbindungsaufbau
notwendig ist. Dann leistet aber kein Backbone-Switch.
Ganz abgesehen davon, dass in der Konstellation, mit sehr vielen,
kurzen SVCs der Verbindungsaufbau ganz schnell zum Flaschenhals wird.

Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 18:35:53 GMT
First, Are you using encrypted passwords on the samba? If not then
you will have to run the patch file on Win98 to produce plain text
password passing. (this file is plntext.inf (?) in the tools dir of
the Win Cd right clik it and select install). If that isn't the prob
then check to make sure that the user AND password on the Win98 is
exacly the same as it is in the passwd file on linux. Case is not a
problem as Win sends user and pass with exact case and Linux handles
it the same way. Double check that you have proper workgroup set on
both machines and that it exists in groups on the linux.
The fact that you can 'see' linux at all is good.
Next check in the Control Panel networking of Win and make sure that
the NIC is set to enable WINS and that it looks at the linux IP
address.
Next check the lmhosts & hosts files on BOTH machines and make sure
they are set the same, i.e. with BOTH of them present.
well that's a start. Maybe no help, but maybe yes <G>
