file and print sharing
hello, i seem to have some trouble with file and print sharing. i have three pc-s connected to a freebsd5.3 server. i use samba to share files on the server, and that works fine. the problem is, that every pc is on it's own subnet - different lan cards - and they cannot access each other correctly. i have bridged the interfaces the pc-s are connected to on the server, but: the win98 machines see the other win-machines on the network, but cannot access them; the winxp machine can only see the samba server. stranger yet, the win machines can access each others shares by ip-s, e.g. \\192.168.45.2\c etc. it seems that something about windows file sharing won't pass through the freebsd server - ant that cannot be a firewall problem, because it isn't better with the firewall turned off. i have run the netsetup.exe on windows xp cd on every win machine, which usually has fixed any problems regarding win98/xp lan, but no good. so it seems to me that something is missing on my bsd server, and i have no idea what. thanks for any help... - ITV - Sinu lemmiksaated internetis! http://www.itv.ee ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
help - nullconsole
hello, i'm trying to remove the vga card from my freebsd 5.3 server - i need the slot for an extra lan card. i have tried: 1. console=nullconsole in /boot/defaults/loader.conf 2. -m in /boot.config i also turned off all ttys except network ones in /etc/ttys still, the machine boots fine to nullconsole while the vga is still in it, but when i remove the card it restarts at about the end of booting process. so, any ideas welcome... kaak - ITV - Sinu lemmiksaated internetis! http://www.itv.ee ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
trying to keep hdd in power saving mode
hello, i recently built a home network server on freebsd 5.3 and am now looking for a way to keep it's hdd in power saving mode - the server is basically a pentium 166mhz machine, and the sound the hard drive is really annoying, as the machine is next to my bed. moving it is not an option - the cat5 cable alone would cost more than the machine itself did. i have already got rid of most of the logging in /etc/syslog.conf. i also commented out the */5* * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun, */11 * * * * operator /usr/libexec/save-entropy and 0 * * * * root newsyslog lines in /etc/crontab as they do not serve much purpose to me, so the only one remainig constantly hdd accessing process that i can think of is cron itself. so i am looking for a way to disable cron's automatic /etc/crontab and /var/cron/tabs checking. is there a way other than recompiling the source code with the checking commented out? if not, where exactly can i get the source and where in it lies the checking - i have no idea of how good documentation/commentation the source might have. also, if you can think of any other processes that might be accessing the disk often, could you let me know? here is a copy of my ps ax to help with that: PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 0 ??
