Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have Samba working fine and can mount drives on my 9x/NT boxes from
Linux using smbmount. However, it would be nice if it could be done
using ordinary 'mount', using the normal mount syntax - and,
eventually, to be done via entries in the /etc/fstab file.
Is this possible?
"man mount" says this on the subject:
Mount options for smbfs
Just like nfs, the smb implementation expects a binary
argument (a struct smb_mount_data) to the mount system
call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and the
current version of mount (2.6c) does not know anything
about smb.
.... which seems to say, "You're on your own in getting this to work".
I can do: smbmount //machine/service /mnt -U someuser -I machine
but when I do: mount -t smbfs //machine/service /mnt
it doesn't work. The question is: How to pass those other args to
mount that smbmount needs?
Please help...

This might be an easy question for somebody but I really need it
badly. If out network is not up soon, my boss will be very upset.
I have one machine only running RH 5.2 connected to the internet thru
an NT gateway. Now I need this machine to act as our domain name
server (both ns1 and ns2). Also this machine should be our mail server
AND a mail server. This setup is only temp till I can get my hands on
another machine and split these services between them.
Our domain lets say abc.com and I have almost a full class c address
to play with.
Reaaly appreciate any help.

Subject: Linksys LNE100TX & Tulip?
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 12:51:33 -0500
Hi ,
Just installed Redhat 6.0. The HOWTO on Ethernet says the tulip driver
will work with the Etherfast 10/100 cards, with the exception of some
proprietary PNIC chipsets. Apparently the DEC chipsets work with
tulip. The Linksys support page doesn't say anything about chipsets,
but simply states the tulip driver works.
Is there another driver for LNE100TX cards? I do not have the DEC
chipset (The large chip on the card has a Linksys stamp).
I loaded the tulip module (I think) and get the following message when
booting:
'Unknown Tulip-style PCI ethernet chip type 11ad c115 detected: not
configured.'
Any advice?
Thanks

While one might have overseen a distribution does enable lilo's security
feature by default this should not be happening to the BIOS settings.
These even can not be setted up that easily from a system-independed
software because the way it is done does differ from the various BIOS
versions.

The "telinit" command lets you control the init process. For instance,
to make effective a change in /etc/inittab, do:
telinit q
You can command init to go to a different run-level as well.

Wrong, 98's sole purpose on earth is to force IE4/5 upon every user possible.
IE is the most important peice of software ms has right now. The fact that MS
was able to bloat 98 up some more to make people buy faster machines(typical
purchase cycle) was just a bonus. I don't think they cared about the money on
this one. Not at all.

Hi,
I have been having a similar problem, with an SMC EZ 10/100 card,
which is supposed to use the same driver. You will probably need to obtain
the rtl8139 driver from
http://cesdis/gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html
This driver was not yet considered tested enough to become part of the
kernel. I couldn't get it to work as a module, and it was suggeted that I
try compiling it into the kernel. I tried, but still haven't gotten it to
work, but that appears to be because the PCI part of the kernel doesn't
recognize the SMC Vendor id or Device id. You may have better luck!

This is a theoretical enquiry, rather than a practical one.
Is there any way of knowing if one's Ethernet is connected
which does not assume that IP addresses are properly set up?
I know one can look at the lights on the card
in most if not all cases,
but that is a bit hit-and-miss.
It would be nice to know, in the case of problems,
that the bottom layer at least was OK.

hi there,
I use a small office LAN comprising of 4nodes running on a Linux
server.I now need to connect another computer into this LAN which is about
25 mtrs away from the server. I cannot afford to use repeaters or expensive
hardware and so can i use a BNC cable to induct this computer into the peer

a 56 kbps dial up line
Secondly : what is the maximum distance that a Hub-NIC-BNC cable peer

I would be grateful to anyone who would help me out in this .

Curiously, my "man smbmount" documents the -c option as a way to
specify the "client name" - whatever that is. It doesn't looke like a
command string at all. FWIW, the -C option is for disabling the
uppercasing of passwords, so that ain't it either...

When you run smbmount as non-root, it says "/usr/sbin/smbmount must be
installed suid-root". Although I haven't tested it, this seems to
imply that simply making the executable setuid root would allow users
to smbmount stuff.
But that is not my goal here. What I want is to be able to call mount
and have it, internally call smbmount, if necessary, to do the work.
My goal is not the idea of making it user (in the sense of "non-root")
accessible, but rather, I'd like to avoid having to write a separate
user-interface for smbmount. Note that smbmount has a baroque command
line interface that it would be nice to hide - and one of the beauties
of Unix is the way the uglies of file systems can be encapsulated in
the /etc/fstab file. It works with NFS; it should work with SMBFS.

I was going to give a go at getting Samba to work with the autofs
demon. Right now I have things working with a line in rc.local, but
I was hoping for something a big more eloquent.
So I was reading a bit on how to get this to work in the files. On
my machine, this is at:
/usr/doc/samba-2.0.3/examples/autofs
Here's a snippet from the file:

Does this sound helpful to you? Note that this is still on my "to
