You didn't say which release of Samba - ?1.9.18?
If so, while you wait for more commentary, pick up 2.0.4b and give that
a try.

To me, it sounds like there is some sort of firewall in effect, because
if it were TCP Wrappers, or ftpaccess files, it should connect, check the
IP against the file, and then disconnect.
ust check your firewalling rules :)

If I understand your question correctly, you are currently dialing in to
your Linux box and creating a serial tty connection, sort of as if you
were calling a BBS (Bulletin Board System).
Telnet is an application that runs on top of TCP/IP. If you want to use
telnet instead of Hyperterminal, you need to set up your Linux machine as
a PPP host, and use Windoze Dial-up Networking (the MS PPP client) to dial
and connect. Then you can use telnet, a web browser, ftp, ping, etc. as
you do on the Internet.
Check out the Networking Overview-HOWTO at http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP and
then read up on PPP, NET, and the rest.
If all you really wanted was a better terminal emulation, there are better
commercial, shareware, and freeware alternatives to Hyperterminal at
TUCOWS.
Good luck!

Your guess is correct. Although, cgi scripts should run in the main
cgi-bin by default, if you want to run cgi elsewhere, you have to
uncomment the line in in srm.conf to enable that:

I currently have my Linux system (RH6.0) setup to receive inbound ppp and

I reviewed the log file /var/log/messages (see below). I am getting this
message when the connection occurs. "can't locate module

Try this, MS has a large site (for our purposes site == server) built of a
large collection of machines. These machines achieve a 99.8% uptime, the
site is there all the time because the machine's are analogous to a raid
array with mirrored hot swap options. A drive can go down but your server
doesn't, in our purposes here a machine can go down the server (== site )
doesn't.

I don't think there trying to completely stop the telnet service, just
restrcit a user from being able to telnet into a machine. If this is
correct to prevent a user access to a telnet shell make their default
shell /bin/false. make sure to define this shell in the correct system
file. then when the user trys to telnet they will get:

Is it possible to share an internet connection between a Win98
box and a linux (redhat 6.0), with the Win98 box actually being
the 'host'?
I know you can share two windows boxes with WinGate or
Win98 SE's new "Internet Sharing" feature, or maybe something
else?
I need the Win98 machine to be the host because it is the better
computer, and windows needs more computing power then linux
does, and besides, there are numerous apps that I *require* the
use of frequently which aren't available in linux.
Thanks for any help!

You can find the full pppd archive with documentation here:

My first suggestion is to get either a better newsreader or a better

Another suggestion is to search http://www.deja.com for your email

I did not try a search of deja.com but I bet a little bit of looking

I'm not sure what to tell you since I don't have a separate
directory for Samba to use for printing. In the printer section
of my smb.conf file there is the following directory:
path = /tmp
so maybe it is using the /tmp directory. On my machine, this
directory has the same permissions and ownerships as above.

There is a brief article in one of the most recent issues of

You can find the most recent pppd archive with documentation here:
