To syncronize the NT machine with a Linux server do:
net time /set /yes \\Linuxname
in an NT command box.
To syncronize a Linux machine to NT, you need a time server app like
AboutTime (http://www.arachnoid.com/abouttime/). Run it on NT with the
Time/TCP protocol active, then from Linux you can rdate -sp <NTname>.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I remember reading somewhere that the TCPIP stack/implementation in
Linux isn't multi-threaded and that this severly effects performance. I
think this is why NT Server's performance in some areas was better than
Linux + Samba.
Also, I read another document about a firewall (?) vendor that
wanted to port his company's application to Linux, but couldn't get the
same performance out of Linux that he could from some other OSes
(Solaris, NT, etc.).
I welcome all flames, comments, rebukes, and corrections. I'm a
Linux user, I believe in the OS and don't want to propagate lies.

It's one of those, ah, "endearing features" of SMB networking
that it treats workgroup names pretty much like host names
and issues look ups for them. If you have Windows machines
set up to use DNS or have not told samba not to try and resolve
WINS queries using DNS you get DNS queries on workgroup names.
Where ever the DNS query comes from is also using the "strip
components of the domain until we've tried everything down
to the last two" search method. The reason FELLOWQUEST works
is because the second combination happens to match your local
domain so doesn't cause an external query. HOWARDS would cause
an external query on the second attempt - for HOWARDS.co.uk
which may have interesting consequences if it exists :-).
The best solution is probably to use WINS only on Windows
machines, firewall DNS queries from them just in case, and
configure samba to not use DNS ("dns proxy = no"). That probably
means you need to run a web cache on your firewall and may need
to configure one or two Windows things to use fixed IP addresses.
The alternative is to try and configure everything just right,
but I'll guarantee that, Windows being as "secure" as it is, it
won't stay that way and you'll only find out when the bills
come in...

I'd guess that the asyncronous (computer) side of the TA may be set for
xonxoff flow control rather than hardware flow control. If that's the
case then you *may* be able to set it for hardware flow control and use
crtscts and asyncmap 0 as pppd options. But the truth is that I don't
know enough about the details of flow control and ISDN TAs to be certain.
I would be interested in what you find out though.
Rethinking the serial port question, the one you have should be adequate
assuming it works correctly. The 16550A is generally capable of 115200
which is near enough to 128k to make little difference when there's no
compression involved. The specification is nominal and the actual speed
that can be attained also depends on computer load.

Nope, my bad. You can do this. Sorry, brain fart. What I meant to say,
was that given your issue, you would be better served using tcpd and

Is the local mail Netscape mail? If not, Netscape won't like it and
try to overwrite to build it's own mail file. You could use the
Edit|Preference|Mail Servers if you want to check mail locally, but then
you need to point Netscape at the local POP server, most likely
localhost in this case. Then setup your Netscape mail directory
somewhere else. Actually, /var/spool/mail is not something most users
can write to anyway as sendmail uses this area. I would not suggest
trying to use it!

Linux does not support NETBEUI, only NetBios over TCP/IP
Look at the settings of the dial-up connection on the NT machine. I suspect
that NETBEUI is enabled for that connection. Disable it and i think it will
work fine

ps x should give you a pid for inetd. Something low I suspect. If this
isn't there, then I am not sure how telnet works as both FTP and telnet
work through inetd in this case.
inetd.conf should have lines very similar to this. Check to see which
one is installed and make sure that you have that particular program
installed, using man wu.ftpd, man proftpd, or man ftpd, then uncomment
the appropriate name
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd wu.ftpd -a
# ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd proftpd
# ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd
Since you get a connection closed by remote host, I would suspect that
it is a permissions thing. Look in /etc for files called ftpusers and
ftpaccess. Do a man on these files to learn how to use them. Most
likely, all permissions are turned off for FTP by RH right off the bat
to avoid newbies leaving gaping security holes in their computers. This
is, in my opinion, the most likely source of the trouble. Good luck.

This tells lilo that it should look for more than one NIC, then the

Subject: tulip IRQ woes & tulip-diag
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 19:44:48 GMT
I had trouble installing a Linksys 10/100 LAN NIC, so I downloaded the
latest tulip.o (0.91g), and installed it, with no luck. I ran the
tulip-diag program, and got this:
tulip-diag.c:v1.12 7/31/99 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Index #1: Found a Lite-On 82c168 PNIC adapter at 0x1400.
This chip has not been assigned a valid IRQ, and will not function.
This must be fixed in the PCI BIOS setup. The device driver has no way
of changing the PCI IRQ settings.
Port selection is MII, half-duplex.
Transmit stopped, Receive stopped, half-duplex.
The Rx process state is 'Stopped'.
The Tx process state is 'Stopped'.
The transmit threshold is 72.
Use '-a' to show device registers,
'-e' to show EEPROM contents,
or '-m' to show MII management registers.
The 0x1400 is correct. How can I assign it a valid IRQ? In the BIOS, I
can't turn off PNP, and all I can do for IRQs is reserve them for ISA
devices (or would that help?) I know I have more than enough IRQs
available, as I turned off the serial and parallel ports in BIOS. There
are only two cards in the machine (and only 2 PCI slots). I took out
the other card, and switched slots with the NIC, to no avail. Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon

Subject: Print problem - Linux to NT
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 14:59:49 -0400
Hi. I'm having trouble printing from our linux machine to our printer
attached to a WinNT machine. I'm running RedHat 5.2.
The WinNT machine is called piii-1. The printer connected to it is
called piii-hpoj.
My printcap file is as follows:
##PRINTTOOL3## SMB Deskjet 300x300 letter {} Destjet Default 1 #Setup
9/5/99:
lp0:\
:lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
:rm:=piii-1:\
:rp=piii-hpoj:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct:\
#
#
It's not the printer, because I can print to it when it's connected
directly to the linux machine. Is there a command I don't know about in
addition to the above that sets up printing, similar, say, to mounting a
remote drive? Thanks.

Don't have much idea how things look like in Slackware. Find the file
inetd.conf, it should be there in /etc. Uncomment the line for the ftp
daemon. Then reatart your inetd. In redhat restarting inetd would be like
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd restart. Things are slightly different in slackware,
i.e the location of the rc Good luck

I'm trying to do the same thing - see my recent post above...
( except I'm using Slackware 4.0 )
I'm curious, how much disk space are you using for your minimal RedHat
install with no X?
If you find out some answers to your problems, please forward them to me if
you would.
I'll do the same if you'd like.
Thank you.
