encrypt passwords = no in smb.conf [global section]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

-CurrentControlSet

-VNETSUP
add te registry key: EnablePlainTextPassword =

And normally the problem is solved
So, I say encrypt passwords = no (and not yes)

Dear,
When I run your slocate command :
slocate -uv
my computer (under Red Hat 6.0 linux ofcourse ) is each time chrashing at
/.automount
After a CTRL-C keystroke combination, and I do locate OR slocate:
# slocate smbclient //e.g.
is the answer:
slocate: decode_db(): open: (2) No such file or directory
How can I resolve this problem?
In the hope you will give me the answer, I thank you in advance:

How do I enable my NIC as a DHCP client? It's a PCMCIA ethernet card.
It shows up in ifconfig as eth0 I think...

It is probably looking for the password corresponding to the username you
entered in the "login" dialog box when Windows95 started up.
Someone mentioned that shadow passwords may be a problem (though they
don't affect the Samba servers we run at work). If so, newer versions of
Samba (2.0 and up, I think) allow you to set up a separate "SMB password"
file, which is completely separate from user logins.

I'm trying to mount a Win95 share, drive e on "maggot" (with smbmount

Subject: Can't see network gateway
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 21:54:17 GMT
I've got Slackware 4.0 and a 3com 3c509B. I can ping any computer on my
network *except* the gateway. I can not ping a computer on any other network.
When I try to connect with Telnet or FTP it takes forever to connect, but then
works fine. It sounds like this might be because it can't see the DNS server
to do a reverse lookup. The problem happens with ip forwarding on and off.
inetd is running. The HOSTNAME file contains 'penguin.xxx.cornell.edu'. My
rc.inet1 file is below. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
#! /bin/sh
#
# rc.inet1 This shell script boots up the base INET system.

cat << END
Your ethernet card was not initialized properly. Here are some reasons why
this
may have happened, and the solutions:
1. Your kernel does not contain support for your card. Including all the
network drivers in a Linux kernel can make it too large to even boot, and
sometimes including extra drivers can cause system hangs. To support your
ethernet, either edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to load the support at boottime,
or compile and install a kernel that contains support.
2. You don't have an ethernet card, in which case you should comment out this
section of /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. (Unless you don't mind seeing this
error...)
END
fi
# Older kernel versions need this to set up the eth0 routing table:
KVERSION=2.2
if [ "$KVERSION" = "1.0" -o "$KVERSION" = "1.1" \
-o "$KVERSION" = "1.2" -o "$KVERSION" = "2.0" -o "$KVERSION" = "" ]; then
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0
fi
# Uncomment this to set up your gateway route:
if [ ! "$GATEWAY" = "" ]; then
/sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY} netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
fi
# End of rc.inet1

Your tape drive is probably /dev/ht0. The boot-time messages will likely
tell you that. Do a "ln -s /dev/ht0 /dev/tape" so the "mt" command
will work. Then do "man tar" and "man mt". Have fun!

All these errors are signs of DNS failure. kppp (or linuxconf for that
matter) establishes IP connectivity with internet but since you have not
specified a DNS address, Netscape doesn't know to whom to ask (on
internet) translations of "names" --> "numerical IP addresses".
Netscape, kmail, ping, and all programs actually work with numerical
unique IP addresses (like 192.168.5.205). When you enter www.adobe.com
to Netscape, it must somehow resolve this name to actual IP address of
www.adobe.com. Netscape will ask this translation to a (any) name server
if only it knows an IP address of any name server on internet. Your ISP
must have at least one name server, and they must give you its
*numerical* IP address. Then you should feed it into Linux *EITHER* via
linuxconf (linuxconf actually puts what you enter into
/etc/resolv.conf), *OR* via kppp's own Setup menu (there will be a
submenu to enter numerical DNS adresses).
But, once again, I wouldn suggest against mixing kppp and other means
(i.e. linuxconf) for ISP connectivity. Either use one or the other (I
prefer kppp).

It must exist for connecting via linuxconf, but it must *not* exist for
connecting via kppp. See what mixing them means?
Good luck

Depends on what you do with the LAN... but usually it is indeed overkill.

Subject: Re: Linux Printing to a Remote Printer
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 21:55:07 GMT
I don't think you want your print server to use x.x.x.255 for its
address as that is the broadcast address for your subnet. You might
be able to get away with it but it's not really the thing to do.
On the remote printing, I'd check the following sections from
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO
7.2. File Permissions
By popular demand, I include below a listing of the permissions on
interesting files on my system. There are a number of better ways to
do this, ideally using only SGID binaries and not making everything
SUID root, but this is how my system came out of the box, and it works
for me. (Quite frankly, if your vendor can't even ship a working lpd
you're in for a rough ride). -r-sr-sr-x 1 root lp
/usr/bin/lpr*
-r-sr-sr-x 1 root lp /usr/bin/lprm*
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root /usr/sbin/lpd*
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root lp /usr/sbin/lpc*
drwxrwxr-x 4 root lp /var/spool/lpd/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp /var/spool/lpd/lp/
If you're not sure how to get these permissions set, play with the
'stat', 'chmod', and 'chown' commands.
11.1. To a Unix/lpd host
To allow remote machines to print to your printer, you must list the
machines in /etc/hosts.equiv or /etc/hosts.lpd. (Note that
hosts.equiv has a host of other effects; be sure you know what you are
doing if you list any machine there). You can allow only certain
users on the other machines to print to your printer by usign the rs
attribute; read the lpd man page for information on this.
You might have to send a HUP to the lpd process, like this
kill -HUP `pidof lpd`
or do 'ps aux', find the PID (number) associated with lpd
and then do
kill -HUP [pidnumber of lpd]
That tells lpd to reread your configuration files which it might
not do once it's been started.
Another thing, it is kind of a waste of space to post MIME-versions
of your emails to Usenet. Check your newsreader and turn the
MIME - stuff off when you post here. Good luck and you might
help others by posting what you found to be the solution.

Hi,
I'm trying to use sockets via Perl and running into problems. The
server script runs fine on a Unix box and seems to run fine on my Linux
box also. Unfortunately when a client tries to connect to my linux box
it receives a Connection Refused. The "offending" line is
connect($S, $remote_sok) || die $!;
But when flip them around and have the client run from the linux box
and try
to connect to the Unix server it runs fine.
I've modified the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files and even tried

Anyone know what may be causing the problem or where I can do more

Subject: Samba and 3.11 wierdo Network Neighborhood prob
Date: 11 Aug 1999 21:30:42 GMT
E'lo.
I had a lan with 3 machines... One was SuSE 6.0 running Samba and the
other two are Win98 boxes. I finally set it up so that the Linux box would
always be the master and Network Neighborhood worked fine after that.
However, When I connect my Win 3.11 machine to the network, the Linux box
disappears and the 3.11 box takes it's place in the NN window. Everything
goes back to normal when I disconnect it - Linux appears again and the LAN
is in harmony.
I'm wondering if theres a switch in Windows 3.11 that will make 3.11 not
be the master, perhaps in some ini file. It's basically standard 3.11 with
TCP/IP from Microsoft installed.
3.11 is configured to use the Linux box as the primary WINS server and
regular DNS server. Heres the smb.conf from my box:
[global]
workgroup = BLEH
server string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
printcap name = /etc/printcap
encrypt passwords = yes
load printers = no
share modes = yes
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.0.3/24 127.0.0.1/24
bind interfaces only = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
dns proxy = yes
os level = 67
[Junk]
comment = Junk
path = /usr/local2/shares/junk
user = bleh
public = no
writeable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
create mode = 0700
directory mode = 0700
Notice i've tried to make the Linux box the master of everything and
attempt to beat 3.11 with the os level, tho that hasn't been sucessful.
Thanke,
Skreech

Do you have the ftp module compiled and installed? Look in
/lib/modules/(kernel version)/ipv4 for ip_masq_ftp.o.

Don't buy. I have a feeling it will go back down over the next few
weeks to as low as $30

What is the format of the smbpasswd file? I'm trying to create one, and I
don't see any documentation about it.
