I think you want SAMBA. There is a plethora of information on it. Start in
your /usr/doc/HOWTO directory and look for the SMB howto's
http://www.milla.simplenet.com/articles/linux/LDP/HOWTO/
The above is a mirror for the linux documentation project.

Subject: POP3 Error -ERR Received Kiss of Death
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 14:57:24 GMT
I am using an older Caldera distribution (1.2/1.3) as a POP3 server. The
POP3 server frequently gives the error message "-ERR Received Kiss of Death"
for no apparent reason.
I telnet to port 110 and login. Whether the user has email or not does not
seem to be relevant. The error occurs whether I take any actions or not.
Sometimes I login and it will kick me out almost immediately. Other times I
have to wait 30 seconds. Sometimes the error occurs after a list or retrieve
command ... basically there seems to be no pattern to the cause of the error.
Does anyone know what "-ERR Received Kiss of Death" means?
TIA,
Fraser

line 24 of boot.c because macro 'strchr' was used without arguments. I also

Don't use the default route option but set a route in ip-up instead.

True it may make no difference but since he is new to this and apt to
get info from many sources using the 'traditional' setup may stave off
potential problems. (Did this save my neck?) It is the prefered setup
from many sources. Actually this is the first time I have seen it
backwards like this. Most docs and examples recommend this and
traditionally show it the other way around.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Peter)
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 13:18:16 GMT
Hi,
I am running Linux as an NFS server and Solaris x86 as an
NFS client. No matter what I do, the uid's and gid's don't
seem to map correctly, meaning that if I create a file on
the client, it maps as something like nobody4 (65534). I
tried the map_static entry in the exports file to no avail.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? I simply want uid's and gid's
to map equivalently across the systems.
I am running Redhat 5.2.

If wingate is socks compatible all you have to do in NS is see the
socks proxy. DO NOT set any of the other proxy values.

Subject: Why not C++
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 16:09:29 -0700
I'v started to do some development on the linux platform. Looking at some of
the source code around, I noticed that it is all C as opposed to C++.
Although I've been a C programmer for many years, in the last year most of
my programming has been in C++, and I've come to appreciate some of its
benefits. Still, it makes me wonder if I'm headed for trouble trying to
program in C++ on the linux platform. Are all the programs in C because:
1) The legacy programs were written in C, and its easier to keep them that
way.
2) There is something inferior about the code produced with the GNU C++
compiler.
3) It's an extra effort to download the C++ libraries, so if you want to
distribute the source, C is the way to go if you want to be sure that your
code is going to compile.
I'd appreciate any insight, before I get to far along producing C++ code.
Thanks,
Ralph

Thanks for the reply Tom. I am currently running it plugged into the hub and
it works OK. I would prefer it to be run via the Linux box with IP
masquerading and have a better firewall.
I am not running it in Bridging mode right now. It is plugged into the hub
using PPP.
Besides according to the Cisco book ping, telnet, web interface, etc. does
not work in bridge mode. Is this correct ?
Thanks again for the reply.

Hi!

For an update: I found out that both configuration files and network
scripts are working properly in this issue. As I mentined in other topic,
the problem is that the network device seems to be slow starter. Issuing
route command in startup process produce the error "Network is
unreachable", although when I issued the exact same command later after
the startup process complete, the command works flawlessly.
Any idea on a fix? I use network cards wirh Realtek 8139 chips using the

Subject: RH 6.0 & ftp RPM...no in.ftpd!!!
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 10:05:57 -0500
Hi,
When I install the ftp module that came with RedHat 6.0, the in.ftpd
file is not placed in /etc...in fact, it isn't placed anywhere. I think
this why people are having difficulty with ftp'ing now. So I copied a
version of in.ftpd from a friends' 5.2 box, and things improved, but I
still can't ftp into my machine. I can ftp out.
I have the inetd.conf setup as people previously posted (ftp stream
..../in.ftpd etc), and inetd is running.
I still can't ftp into my machine. I am trying to login as a user (not
root), and the connection is made, but service is refused. I have the
hosts.allow and hosts.deny files, but there is no info in them, just
comments.
What else do I need to do to get ftp working correctly?
Also, I have no httpd running/installed/working in my 6.0 package. How
do I set that up?
Telnet works fine. Ping works fine.
6.0 is becoming frustrating, seriously contemplating starting over with
5.2.
Thanks,
Jeff

Here's what I have running:

floppy drive
NIC=20

Ballantain 1.0.0, a mini-distro of Linux that is made specifically for =

I was able to free up a "real" computer for other uses.

Oops. Sorry. If that is the result of an attempted pppd session,
then you'll need an pppd*rpm update, or a recompiled pppd . Mgetty doesn't
recognize any attempt of pppd accessing that port. All your logfile
shows is the initialization of mgetty itself, its initial port locking
and then the removal of that lockfile, waiting for something to be
happening on that port. Either your "chat" script is broken, or the pppd
version doesn't work at all with ttyS* ports due to a possibly broken
compile-time setting.
>I use "ifup ppp0" and the modem refuses to connect.
No, it doesn't. PPPD never reaches the part where it would talk to
the modem at all; instead, it just does nothing. What actually happens is
that mgetty just sits there waiting for some activity on that port which
never happens at all: No signal, no lockfile, nothing. Does pppd create
a lockfile at all ? Is it called LCK...ttyS3 ?

Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 09:02:20 -0500
Thanks for your help and suggestions. I had never installed a package
before and because my /etc/inetd.conf had the IMAP and POP line uncommented,
I had assumed they were installed. I wouldn't know how to check if they
were or were't anyway. But, lo and behold, they weren't installed. I
installed the latest and *BAM* it's working fine, now. Thanks to David
Lyons and Nick Couchman and Villy for a pointer in the right direction.
Nick mentioned QPopper. All I want are basic POP services. Would QPopper
be of any benefit to me?
Thanks,

Fair enough. :) I'd find it more logical to have my local network considered
to be my "primary"/"first" interface (in the sense that it's always up,
etc.), but that could just be me being odd. <g>
