I have ste up a linux server running samba and it seems to work.

Generally the system can be made to automtaically reboot in the case
of a panic and it works again. However it is not really an issue: uptimes
of years are easy (if not common, due to kernel upgrades).

NDS is avialable for linux. Apart from that Unices generally have little
need for them, as eveyone never notices crossing mount points, the difference
between remote and local printers, etc. They all work the same. (Directories
are very useful to bad guys).
Samba supports windows * network browsing, selectable on a per share
basis, for those using systems where this sort of things is required
(instead of just saying the stuff is in /usr/local/tex and not needing
to worry about which of your 42 file servers stores that
directory). Windows 2000 will allegedy have this feature (I will
believe only if I see it).

Samba will authenticate against a NT server. You generally have to
work into the server first. This is a NT problem not fixable from
samba. You can use local passwords and the latest samba has some
domain control features (this may currently be experimental). PAM
aware stuff can authenticate against virually anything (standard
password files, NT, radius servers, NIS/NIS+ servers, securID, and
whatever else you can program).
You might want to migrate gradually.
Setting the owners, groups, etc is even easier than NT. Users can be
members of as many groups as you like (possibly up to some maximum
which is at least 16). There is more two: unicies, including linux,
support quotas as well. Only the super user can change ownership to
stop quota evasion.

In my experience linux is a better mail server, period. A few days of
bugtraq was sufficient to cause one mail server to choke and I think
it was running NT. Practiacal experience shows that NTmail is *very*
unstable. I managed more than 4 weeks of bugtraq with a Linux IMAP
server... and sendmail is very stable. (This did take a while over a
56K modem).
As for proxies windows is generally less stable and a lot less
secure. The latter is a serious reason for not using NT (and windows *
in general). A non routing proxy running windows is proabbly a *big*
mistake for security reasons.

You can find which processes have a file open and their user and group
with standard tools. Keeping track of who has what inode and what
device open is not something the kernel does (but could be done if you
need it, you have the OS source code to hack if you feel the
need). RCS and various other version control systems will keep track
of this sort of thing too, with the bonus you can undo their changes.
A lot of free software users CVS.
Access control is by users and groups. ACLs are not yet supported but
99.99% of the time creating a special group and putting the right
programs or users in it does the trick. If you do need ACLs Cygnus,
and their competition, would probably add them for your given
sufficient funds.
>Any comments?
FYI samba has some cute substitutions you can put in path, for example
the user name, and beats NT when serving NT clients. The former could
be used for some sorts of access control, by exporting different bits
of a given tree to different users.

I'm afraid you're right --- they use the abbreviation ACAD a lot in their
documentation, but they don't appear to have registered it as a
trademark --- understandable, but it lets shysters like these folks

No need to appologize. The DND site isn't going to say that we joined
an unpopular war. I've read extensively about Canada's political
history during and including the period between both wars and the 3 to
1 figure just isn't supportable outside of Quebec. Anyway this is way
off topic for these newsgroups.

Depending upon your modem..... some have initialization string

If you have one there's your answer just add that switch to the init

Subject: Simultaneous/differentiated ppp and eth0 - is it possible?
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 15:13:06 -0500
Hello,
I have been using ppp, but just got ADSL, and want to use them
(temporarily) as simultaneous connections to the internet.
The reason for this is I am currently running my own DNS and web
server, and they are currently configured for the IP associated
with ppp. I'd like to reconfigure so that I am able to answer
DNS and HTTP requests over either interface, then once that's
working, move the default for both to the ADSL line.
However, if I configure either as the default route, then the
other one doesn't seem to work, since the replies seem to be
coming from the wrong place.
Is there a way to configure the routing so that requests coming
in on each interface are answered on that interface?
Thanks,

The X-Terminal (its an "hardware" X-Server that has no hard disk, just a screen,
keyboard and mouse plus a few ports including BNC network).
Actually its a Sun 3/50 (well, we have more than one, some higher specs) which of

There is a hacked Xkernel for Linux and this version of the Sun terminal but I dont

Just go to www.SAMBA.org and download samba-2.0.4b, install it and all
will be hunky dory.

Yes. There are many distros that can help you
directly and indirectly. Take a look at Linux
Weekly News (www.lwn.net) in the distribution
section. There are several micro (single
2-4MB floppy) distros that can get you started.
Most of these are made for the Intel processor
family, but one should get you started.
> -are there development tools available?
Yes... in a sense. I do not know of a
set of commercial tools, but there are plenty of
HOWTOs for creating a bootable floppy which can
then be converted into a bootable ROM.

us in development of kernel specific and/or
application code?
Yes. RedHat/Caldera/SuSE offer contract agreements
for assisting professional development. There are
several programmers that would love to help out.

Does anyone know how exactly to set up the "printcap" file to spool
files to a remote printer.
This will of course be from Slackware Linux 3.5 to another machine
running exactly the same release of Linux.
Just cant seem to get the Printer Server to allow it in.
Telnet, Ping etc work fine and all the computers I plan to print from
are listed in the Hosts and Hosts.allow files on the Printer Server.

How do we know you're not going to configure your friends computer to e-mail
you *his* dynamic IP thus creating a small security risk?
