I have been running Samba 2.0.5 w RH 6.0 and WIN 98. You should not need to use
any Domain settings. Make sure your PC's are in the same workgroup as listed in
the Global section in SMB.CONF and make sure you are using valid users and
groups to authenticate. As mentioned before Pinging proves nothing for SAMBA.
Try running the smbclient //server_name/share_name -U user_name to test your
share from the Linux box.

I always avoided it, but I think that was for superstitious reasons more
than anything sensible. What I think I'm thinking of is that, er,
"unnatural" subnets ( ??? ) wouldn't work, so while 10.0.0.0/16 is ok,
10.0.0.0/18 isn't. How wrong am I?

Please send me a list at the email address below.

Check permissions of user's home directory. RedHat sets that to 700
regardless of umask, so apache will not even be able to find their
public_html. Try 755.

Have you read 'man ftpd' about how to set up a guest account? I think it
is just a matter of setting up a different guest account for each of those
users similar the annonymous ftp that limits them to /home/ftp.
Of course on sites where I only have ftp access, I use a CGI webshell to
look around if I need to find something. I also have CGI's that can find
Perl modules and perldocs for them, and another that can read man pages.
Otherwise it is rather difficult to find programs and troubleshoot CGI
when you have restricted ftp only access.

^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are in all probability never going to negotiate a working connection
if you leave the software without any flow controls. Your ISP is asking
for a negotiation that at least allows it to use the xon/xoff convention
for flow control, but you have no escape mechanism set up.
As a bare minimum, in the ppp options line that linuxconf will give you
for ppp, enter "asyncmap 0x000a0000" without the quotes. This should
get you going at least to the next step or problem as the case may be.
Here, I have just found that while the 0x000a0000 setting escapes the
xon (0x11) and xoff (0x13) characters, I get a lot less 'stalls' while
browseing or downloading, if I also escape the 0x1d character by using
0x2000a0000 for that. This will probably be highly dependant on the
ISP's confuration, and is often something that isn't adequately advised
on, or even recorded by the ISP's techies making it difficult to arrive
at an optimal setting for your ISP.
I haven't looked in recent history, but there may even be some
references to asyncmap settings in the manfile for ppp, type 'man ppp'
in a shell, or possibly man pppd.

I think, if you are using the kernel-level NFSD, this is controlled
by a kernel configuration parameter called "CONFIG_NFSD_SUN", described
as "act like a Sun nfsd". But I'm not sure which way it goes; in
one mode it exports a single volume/partition, in the other mode
it exports a whole tree.

See http://www.xnet.com/~efflandt/linux/dialin.txt
That will give you some place to start. You need mgetty and make sure
that all programs use the same /dev description (preferably the /dev/ttyS#
and NOT /dev/modem). That is mgetty, pppd, minicom, etc. should all use
the same /dev/ttyS# so lock files work properly.

Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 21:31:08 -0400
Alex,
I have just installed a 3com USR 3CP5610 56k PCI Faxmodem. It looks like you
installed the 5609.
I am relatively new to Linux and had some difficulty but it all came
together today and all of a sudden seems pretty simple. It is not a
Winmodem. To be brief, I first installed the modem through Windows on a
Gateway GP6-450 using the automatic installation. Through Windows>My
Computer>Properties> and so forth, I found that the irq was 10 and the port
was 0x1490-0x1497.
In RH Linux 6.0 I tried "setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 10 port 0x1490
autoconfig".
After running this command and then running "setserial -a /dev/ttyS1" it
showed that the uart was a 16550A and I was able to dial out and connect to
my ISP. I then put the command at the end of the rc.local file, ie:
"exec setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 10 port 0x1490 autoconfig"
and the modem has been working since then. The command in rc.local sets up
the modem each time Linux starts up so that it is not necessary to do it
manually each time. The quotes are not entered in the commands shown above.
They are just used to identify the command text.
I caused myself a lot of problems along the way, destroying my Windows
device driver directory at one point. When using the setserial command, be
sure to set "irq" and "port" before calling "autoconfig".
I hope this helps.

Well. I finally got it work. I had to set my default gateway (using linuxconf) to the
gateway of my pppd server. Then in kppp I check the "use default gateway" toggle.
There is an option for a static gateway. I should be able to type it here instead of
having to set my default gateway to the pppd gateway...but it doesn't work. I set up
two /etc/resolv.conf files. One for the network through ppp and another for the network
through my ethernet card. I use the ethernet as the default and then boot the system.
I can ping IP's on the ethernet. Before starting kppp I bring down eth0, connect to
ppp
using kppp, and I'm on the ppp0 network. THe next step is to try to bring eth0 up
again
and see if I can use both networks.

installed Mandrake 6.0, everything is great, and am on my way to
kissing Microsoft goodbye. I am having a slight problem with my ftp
server. It says by default if you have a user account you can log on,
but it seems only ftp and anonymous logs on. When I added myself as a
user I added the ftp group to my supplemental groups. I am still
getting an error when I log on invalid username "dont get it" didnt
have this problem with Redhat 5.2. I have read the book and understand
what files are being called on when the server is activated. Anyone
have any Idea's for me. I am lost and would like to get my ftp to work
again.

Subject: volatile loopback interface

I'm still under exposed to the workings of ifconfig. pls let me know if
there's something amiss :
I'm writing some socket game & wanna test using loopback 127.0.0.1 but
found each time I booted up the lo interface is missing. I've to
manually add it in everytime. How can I set the lo interface permanent
instead of volatile?
thanx
Aaron
