Although Samba is not needed for what you need, I suggest that you install it. I use it to easily share files (without FTP) on my home systems: RH Linux 7.0, Win98
be prepared to tinker around with the samba configuration files, though. -----Original Message----- From: Faizal Mangera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 11:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: User issues in installation. New beginner Hey people, I've just set-up mysql on a redhat version6.1 of linux. I am new to both. If i log into the machine as root I can run mysql. If I log into the machine as a normal user I can't run mysql. Is it a case of permissions in linux? I need to be able to run mysql through a telnet window on a win98 machine. I have managed to telnet between the two but only as a normal user not as root. Should this be the case? Should I be able to telnet as root. I eventually want MS Access to call the databases on MySQL via ODBC (MyODBC)what configurations will I need to do to the two machines for this to possible? Do I need SAMBA installed? if so how? and why exactly? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
