Unless you will never upgrade or move client computers, don't set it to
unlimited, or you can't recover a lease to a DHCP client.

Are you sure, that the nfs servers starts properly on your box?
Maybe the update has changed the startup.
How does your exports file look like, now?
If you still have problems, send further details.

Subject: Re: Using Samba to join an NT domain.
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 06:03:43 GMT
Brad,
At first, I thought your "security=domain" was the problem (never heard of that
security
option in Samba), but I decided to read the man pages along with the /usr/docs/samba
stuff
(before I replied) and discovered Samba actually does support this type of
authentication.
My Linux/Samba box was configured to for "security=server" along with "password
server=NetBios Name of domain controller". That combination has worked for over a year
with out any problems. All authentications went to my domain controller for "share
access"
to my linux box. Exactly as configured!
Anyway, I reconfigured Samba for the security=domain as described in
/usr/doc/samba-2.0.5a/docs/textdocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt. and was able to execute the
smbclient example without any problems. In fact, I was also able to execute the
smbclient
example when Samba was configured for security=server. BTW: The on-line status DID
change
in server manager when I executed "smbpasswd -j DOMAIN - r PDC" only after I restarted
samba. (which makes since)
As for your question... you did not mention this in your post, but have you enabled
"encrypted passwords" in your smb.conf. I already had this option enabled in my
previous
configuration and left that setting "as is". In fact, that was mentioned in the
DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt as a prerequisite for accessing NT.
Hope the encrypted password setting fixes your problem
BTW: thanks for "teaching an old dog a new trick!!!" Guess I should start reading those
damn "release notes"

No, but FWIW the page loads OK with the NS 4.51+java+javascript that
installed along with SuSE 6.1. MY problem is that the stupid
spellchecker freezes it! Oh yeah, other random things freeze it too.

I have exactly the same problem with your ethernet cards (level one and 3com)
using a level one 10/100 mbit hub. I also recocnized that the 3com runs
only at 10 mbit. Refering to the documentation of the hub it could be a
problem of slightly different implementations of the 100 mbit functionality.
I would appreciate if the problem could be solved...

I cant get my Redhat 5.2 to recognize itself on the network.
The computer is the DNS and it can do a nslookup on itself but the
answer I get is
Nslookup <Computername>
Server <computername>
Adress : 0.0.0.0
Name : <computername>

Why cant the computer get the ip adress for the server when the
computer I惴 doing a nslookup on is the server and it gets the ip for
the name ?

Stuart,
I just did a set of similar tweaks to sendmail.cf, and now it works.
I've gotten into the habit of rebooting after making daemon
configuration changes. I got burned really bad once making a slew of
changes, then finding out the system no longer booted.....
Thanks to all,

Hi!
I use Samba 2.0.5 and it works fine.
But I have a little "problem", when I log in with my Win95 Client.
First the Win95 client ask me for my password and after that he tries
to log in into Samba.
I always get the message, that the Client can't find a Server wich can
verify my password. He warns me, that some services maybe won't work.
But then, everything is fine. I can find my Drives etc.
Who can help me with this problem?
Thanks a lot,

Hi!
I have another problem with my network (1 Samba Server, Kernel 2.2.10)
and 15 Win'98 clients.
I use the Linux Server as gateway to the Internet. I use a Squid-proxy
and it work very good.
But with pages with frames, Squid often don't rember single files, so
I get only the frameset (with IE 4).
The Server won't dial in to synchronise the pages. I always have to
give a foreign URL, so the Server must dial in and then read the
framesite again.
Is there a better way?

To be alble to connect to the outside world you have to set up a gateway
(enable routing on this gateway machine).
Next you have to set up the gateway address as default gateway in your
lan machine.
then it should work.

I detected a similar behaviour. I have several pcs with win95/98 connected
to a linux server with samba.
from one specific win95 pc (in this case connected via remote access) I
can
not see the network ressources but I can use them. If there is any other
pc online in the lan I can see all ressources.
I think it could be a problem of different win95 releases (with the oldest
one it
I have the above described behaviour). At least I have enabled on each
win pc the printer sharing. Refering to a book this is necessary to enable
correct smb behaviour due to a missing funcionality of the samba server.:

at least for win95/98 clients you have to enable at least one shared service
at each win PC to be able to use samba.
Sometimes a can not see the ressource but use them anyhow...
