Subject: FTP question on RH 7.1
Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 23:14:01 GMT
I just got FTP working and had a few more questions.
1. Now that I can FTP into my server I can see the following folders:
(bin, etc, lib, and pub). Am I supposed to be able to see inside all
four folders? I placed some text files into the pub folder just for
testing and I can see them just fine. While I CAN'T see anything in the
bin and etc folders I CAN see some files in the lib folder. Is that
okay?
2. How do I allow myself to be able to write to a folder?
Thanks for any help.

Yeah but you can still take the *test* and be 'certified', right? Best o' both

Yep, you can still pass these in. This is my smbmount command:
/usr/bin/smbmount //g00ber/c /g00ber -o guest,fmask=0770,gid=local
The other machine is g00ber, the share is mounted uid=root
(don't need to specify because root always runs this), gid=local, and it's
user & group rwx, world-nothing. Works great.

First off, you need to know these ip addresses:
Yours - meaning the one @Home assisgned to you.
Your subnet mask.
Your default gateway.
Your DNS server.
You can get these by doing winipcfg on your windows box and writing
them down.
Your mail server - you can get this by doing "ping mail" on your
windows machine.
When you get all this information, run startx and open a terminal
window.
Run netcfg.
Under the names tag you will see a section labeled Nameservers:
Put your DNS ip in here.
You should not need to change anything under hostname or domain.
Mine still say localhost.localdomain for hostname, and localdomain for
Domain and my box is my router to the internet.
I did not change anything under the Hosts tab. All I have is the
loopback adapter IP of 127.0.0.1
Under Interfaces, you should have your lo interface which is your
loopback, and another labeled eth0.
Edit the eth0 interface and insert your IP and netmask.
Click on Activate at boot time, if it is not already selected.
Interface configuration protocal should be "none"
Save that.
Then go to the Routing tab.
Only thing you need to put in there is your default gateway IP
address.
Do not select the Network Packet forwarding, and leave evertyhing else
blank.
Save that.
Quit.
Now, assuming that you have your NIC card drivers loaded properly, you
should be set.
Re-boot just to make sure all the new settings go into place and
activate properly.
Good luck.

I'm running mandrake 8.0 and my Plextor IDE 8/4/32 won't even read CD's

fstab/mtab or the symlinks in my system. Below are my fstab/mtab files.

Some quick things to try.
1) See if SSH was installed. If so you need an SSH capable client.
2) Check if running xinetd and edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and change

Subject: network won't work when boot from CD-Rom
Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 22:07:26 -0700
Hello. When I boot into Redhat 7.1 from CD_ROM, it gets network error
such as eth0 Delaying Initialization [Failed].
I used vmlinuz root=/dev/hdc5 at the Boot: prompt. The reason why I used
CD-ROM to boot is that my power supply
killed Floppy drive and burned the power cable that goes to FDD.
I have Win2K on hda1 and RedHat on
/boot hdc2
/ hdc5
/tmp hdc6
The network works when I install lilo on MBR, but won't work if I take
Lilo off the MBR(so I can boot win2k), or if I install Lilo on the first
sector of the linux boot partition to boot from CD-ROM.
Do I have to manually re-configure the ethernet card after logging into
linux?
I appreciate any help,
Tsugi

for you I gues it would be

you will also need to create the driver disk image just like the boot disk

I'd guess it will have the same effect. smbmount has always worked for me
so I never tried mount -t smbfs. smbmount has the added advantage that
you can specify a username and password of the user you're connecting as.

Certainly you'd use the permissions that made sense for you. World
permissions matter to me because the 'local' group are people who access
the linux machine locally. I let friends access the machine from the outside,
and I don't want them snooping around on the windows machines
connected to it.
Also, I don't think you can chmod files on a Samba share, only the entire
smbfs filesystem at once. Could be wrong tho. smbfs documentation
isn't super deep.

Greetings all,
I recently setup Red Hat 7.1 on my i386 machine. I was happy to see that
I can finally use my Sony Spressa (CRX 100) CDRW/USB device under Red Hat.
Here's the thing, however, if I turn my CDRW on before I boot into Linux,
and it is the first Linux boot of the day (I'm on a dual boot
machine), then the Sony device drivers seem not to load and the CDRW
does not appear in /mnt. Every other Linux boot of the day, however,
brings up my CDRW just fine...it is detected, I can burn CDs , etc. So,
I usually have to boot the machine into Linux at least twice before I
burn any discs/use the CD-ROM. This is strange. What could be causing
this? Better yet, what are the tools, etc. used to control USB
configuration?
Thanks in advance to all who reply.

For smbfs, chmod is effective for adding or removing write permissions,
and whatever you do has its effect on the owner, the group, and the
world permissions, within the constraints of the mask values. AFAIK
that's it; you certainly can't modify permissions as freely as you can
with, say, an NFS mount.

Couple of obvious tips: First, I'm assuming the router works something like
the 5260, which I have. Open a browser and go into the configuration screens
(http://10.0.0.1).
Make sure DHCP is enabled. Confirm that your PPPoE username and password are
correct under setup.
Consider using a static ip address for your powermac, such as 10.0.0.2.
This wouldn't happen to be the same Andrew McLean of Fly! fame is it?

Subject: Connecting Redhat to MS Small Biz Server
Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 14:04:37 +1000
Hi there,
I have just installed RedHat V7 to a new PC (PIII-1000) and would like to
hook it up to our server which is running Microsoft Backoffice Small
Business Server 4.5 (SBS). This is basically Windows NT Server V4.0 with
Proxy Server 2.0, Exchange 5.5 and a few other things.
Here is the setup: Server name - ntserver1, domain name - acnet2, Server IP
10.0.0.2, DHCP enabled (scope 10.0.0.x).
Is it possible for the Linux computer to log into that server (for
file/print sharing)? If so, how?
Also, can the Linux machine be set up to go through the Proxy Server for
internet access? Again, how is this achieved??? I believe that you have to
be authenticated as a user on the domain to have access to the Proxy server.
Many thanks,
Danny Bielik

Here is some documentation:
http://alpha.greenie.net/vgetty/
If you manage to get it up and running as a newbie, please post how you did
it and cc me. I have all of the documentation but haven't got it working
yet. (mandrake 8.0, zoltrix rainbow serial modem)
all the best,
Robert
