You can use smbclient or smbmount to view Wintel (Win9x or WinNT) server shares,
etc. You can even do this between Linux boxes (it makes it a lot easier to
transfer files). Anyway, make sure you edit the smb.conf file to fit the
network you are on (ie workgroup, etc.). Once this is complete, you should be
able to use smbmount and smbclient to view NT share and (making sure password
encryption is enabled in the smb.conf file) access Linux share from Wintel
machines.

I believe you just hook the serial ports of the terminal and linux server
together (making sure the pin config is correct, of course), and voila, but
I have never actually tried. You might have to do some PPP stuff.

I find that it is easiest when your security=user. Also make sure that you
have null passwords enabled. This has caused some great problems. When you
use the ";" in this type of a setting, I believe it comments out the rest of
the line ( you have it under SHARE2). Either just put spaces between the
users, or add both admin and DirtyFly to a group and I believe you can do
this:
valid users = @group

Assuming you have the terminal plugged into Windows Com2 add the
following too /etc/inittab:
s2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 19200 ttyS1 vt100
There might already be a line similar too this commented out, just
uncomment it and change too above. If you plug it into Com1, just change
the ttyS1 to ttyS0. Hope this helps.

I have sendmail/fetchmail running on a linux box called "gateway". I have
a cron job running, to periodically call my ISP and fetch whatever mail
there may be. This mail is stored in /var/spool/#user#. #user# is an
account on the linux box. I also have a Win98 machine running Communicator
4.xx. On this machine, I can also log in as #user#, but that is not
relevant to the rest of this story. I configure Communicator like this:
- E-mail address: <my_user@my_ISP>
- Incoming Mail Server: gateway
- Outgoing Mail Server: gateway
- User Name: #user#
so when I start Netscape Messenger and hit "Get Msg", my mail is retrieved
from the linux box.
I can also log onto the linux box as #user#, run Communicator , and
retrieve mail there. Linux Communicator is configured like this:
- E-mail address: <my_user@my_ISP>
- Incoming Mail Server: localhost
- Outgoing Mail Server: localhost
- User Name: #user#
Again, after hitting "Get Msg", Netscape Messenger will retrieve my mail
from /var/spool/#user#.
In both cases, if I send mail, this is picked up by sendmail and is sent
to my ISP.

For the record, it was operator (me) error. I thought I had put my
work ip address in my hosts.allow file, but I didn't. After fixing
that, I can telnet in from work, and, presumably from anywhere. News

I am running RH6 w/ipchains as a masquerading box. I have a windows

and traceroute anywhere, I can telnet to anybody. Ftp is a different

'ls' I have recieved two different messages from two different servers,
here they both are:
server 1:
after login, i just typed <ls> and pressed [ENTER]
the server returned, "200 PORT command succesful"
then waited for almost one full minute and said,
"425 Can't build data connection: Connection Refused."
server 2:
after login, i just type <ls> and pressed [ENTER]
the server returned, "500 Illegal PORT command"
and then, "425 Can't build data connection: Connection Refused."
I tried to ftp to these boxes with the -d switch, and here is the output.
<ls>[ENTER]
--->PORT 10,10,10,9,4,15

425 Can't build...you know the rest.
The IP address of my windows box does just happen to be 10.10.10.9, but I

Subject: Home network sharing, Cable Modem
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 05:09:03 GMT
This is simple home network setup, to share your cable modem:
just like mine;
say you have a 4 computers, everybody wants Internet, now you'll need
5 Network cards (buy 10 mbs or if you have money 100 mbs)
Network Cables (Buy UTP CAT 5 and make sure how long)
6 or 12 port Hub
When you do networking more is better, why ? always you'll need
more and more computers.
[ This is what I have ]
Then what software you going to use in your network ?
you can have one running Linux and others Windows 95/98/NT
or anything that work for you.
If you don't know howto fight with Unix, then you don't read this,
anyway if you like you can have full windows network too.
I am not going to talk about that here.
Place you computers where you want then put your network cards in to all
of them, and put 2 cards in, which is going to CABLE-MODEM.
Now plug your network cables like this:
Computer-A
+-------+
| |------------->[===]
+-------+ Cable-Modem----->Internet @home cable.
|
|
HUB
+===|====+
| | |
| | |
| | +----------------------------------------+
| +-------------------------+ |
+---+---+ | |
| | +-------+ +--------+
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
+-------+ +-------+ +--------+
Computer-B Computer-C Computer-D
By now you have nice network, you can see Computer-A connected to
cable modem also to the Hub, that's why we put 2 network cards, you
can do this with 1 network card, then you'll have Internet Hacker
problem, remember they can see what you doing, they are very smart
like you and me.
From hub 3 UTP cables going to each Computer-B,C and D. Now everything
Done !. NO not yet.
We have to configure software, on all the machine. Computer-A is our
Server running RedHat-Linux, others running Windows-95, I don't know
that's what you have ?.
I think you know howto setup TCP/IP on the computer. So I'll
just give you a tcp information on each computer.
[ Computer-A ]
Hostname = computer-A
Ethernet-0 = DHCPCD
Ethernet-1 = 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask= 255.255.255.0 so you network is 192.168.0.0
Default Gatway = eth0 ( your first network card connected to cable modem)
again make sure you 2nd network card in this computer connected to
hub, means it is going to your local network.
and that is the card I am saying Ethernet-1.
[ Computer-B ]
Ethernet-0 = 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gatway = 192.168.1.1
and
Dns-Host = computer-b
domain = somthing.home.com ( if you don't know that call your ISP )
primary dns = 24.xx.xx.xx
secondry dns = 24.xx.xx.xx
please don't put xx.xx.xx. if you don't know that ask ISP.
[ Computer-C ]
Ethernet-0 = 192.168.1.3
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gatway = 192.168.1.1
and
Dns-Host = computer-c
domain = somthing.home.com ( if you don't know that call your ISP )
primary dns = 24.xx.xx.xx
secondry dns = 24.xx.xx.xx
please don't put xx.xx.xx. if you don't know that ask ISP.
[ Computer-D ]
Ethernet-0 = 192.168.1.4
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gatway = 192.168.1.1
and
Dns-Host = computer-d
domain = somthing.home.com ( if you don't know that call your ISP )
primary dns = 24.xx.xx.xx
secondry dns = 24.xx.xx.xx
please don't put xx.xx.xx. if you don't know that ask ISP.
Cool, this is the only way we can setup a good network saving money
and working good.
or you can call ISP and ask more IP-Address, then they'll charge
more money from you. like it ? no
Now reboot all your computers and test. If you did what I say
everything should work fine.
if you have any problem with this please email me

If "disabled" stand for not available for selection I imagine you have

As you noticed this will not work on all distributions. But giving the
parameter "init=/bin/sh" instead should do the trick. If the lilo is
secured too one will have to boot with another root-fs and mount the old
one to another mount-point.

It should be possible to use Netscape with this setup by setting the
switch "Mail server type" within the dialog
"Edit-Preferences-Mail&Groups-Mail Server" to "Movemail application".
Installing a local POP3 or IMAP server and using it is an option too.

Wow, this was a beautiful piece of FUD I missed.
:Neither do MS apps. Outlook prompts to run or save when you double click on

Much of the blame for the current worm/virus attacks can be blamed on
Windows yet at least half has to be put on the user. My copy of OE
(with Win2k Beta3) requires me to do the following:
-Get e-mail with a *.exe file attached
-Open attached exe after getting a warning that it may contain viruses
and cause harm to my system
If you choose to ignore warnings and open any file you get sent you're
asking for it no matter what OS you use.
