Yes. Squid is a WWW Proxy Server, and sends no welcome message.
Browsers with FTP support, such as IE.... won't check for a Welcome message.
REAL Ftp Clients do. As they get no welcome message, the connection times
out.

Trick... Don't use a proxy server. Linux supports something called IP
Masquerading. This way... all machines can be connected at the same time and
so Browser configuration is needed. It is one of the best things i ever did
to my home network. For more information... goto: http://ipmasq.cjb.net/
Let me know how it goes if you try it (you should): [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've been trying this for the past few days. First you need a null
modem
driver for windows, see attached (i don't know how to do direct cable
connection).
Next you need to get a null modem cable and hookup between your linux
machine
and your windows machine.
Next, edit /etc/inittab and add the following:
S(X):2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -r -s 115200 ttyS(X)
(replace (X) with the number of your serial port you're going to use:
com1=/dev/ttyS0 com2=/dev/ttyS1 etc...)
Next edit /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config and add the following:
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd -detach crtscts login auth -chap +pap\
<LINUX IP ADDRESS>:<WINDOWS IP ADDRESS> \
ms-dns <NAME OF YOUR DNS>
Almost home, edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and add an entry for your
login
loginname servername secret ip-address(optional)
type init q, then hop onto the windows machine and install the null
modem
driver. For the port, use the port you'll be connecting from, for the
number
just use 555 555 5555 it doesn't matter. Enter your name and password
that
you added to your pap-secrets, click on connect and you should negotiate
a connection. Test it out by pinging back and forth from your win box
to your
linux box.
If it doesn't work check through your logs:
/var/log/messages
dmesg
/var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS(X)
etc...

Set smb.conf
security=user
Then make sure that the user name and password for the NT user is also
exactly the same in linux passwd. Double check that the workgroups
are same as well.
If it hangs on the password, then check if encrypted passwords are
enabled in smb.conf OR that plaintext passwords are enabled in NT.

I'll suggest an alternative -- tcpd and /etc/hosts.allow with
/etc/hosts.deny.
Check out man tcpd and man 5 hosts_access.
In you /etc/hosts.deny place:
ALL : ALL
and for blocking all access for telnetd (for example), place
telnetd:LOCAL
in you /etc/hosts.allow file
This doesn't squash the intruder at the front door, but
they will not be able to enter.

I had the same problem with Redhat 6.0, I ended up having to plug the NIC
back into the Win98 box and download a new version of pump (the DHCP
client).
After that, no problem with DHCP on linux.

I have an ftp server running on a Linux box (Redhat 4.2 I think).
When I ftp to the box using a standard ftp client from a Solaris box, I
can get a directory listing with either 'ls' or 'dir', but when I ftp
using Netscape, or using a SOCKS enabled ftp client, 'ls' and 'dir'
return nothing. Is there something I can change in the ftp setup? How
do browsers normally get the file listings for ftp sites?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I'll follow this thread too. I 'fixed' the problem with procmail
but in a rather labor intensive way. I basically send all unknown
mail off to another account (mailman) who, using procmail,
sorts and mails to the appropriate user. Works well but the

I have tried using smbtar to backup two separate systems running

Notice that it says nread=0; however, it says it wrote 407 byes at
