Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 06:03:43 GMT Brad, At first, I thought your "security=domain" was the problem (never heard of that security option in Samba), but I decided to read the man pages along with the /usr/docs/samba stuff (before I replied) and discovered Samba actually does support this type of authentication. My Linux/Samba box was configured to for "security=server" along with "password server=NetBios Name of domain controller". That combination has worked for over a year with out any problems. All authentications went to my domain controller for "share access" to my linux box. Exactly as configured! Anyway, I reconfigured Samba for the security=domain as described in /usr/doc/samba-2.0.5a/docs/textdocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt. and was able to execute the smbclient example without any problems. In fact, I was also able to execute the smbclient example when Samba was configured for security=server. BTW: The on-line status DID change in server manager when I executed "smbpasswd -j DOMAIN - r PDC" only after I restarted samba. (which makes since) As for your question... you did not mention this in your post, but have you enabled "encrypted passwords" in your smb.conf. I already had this option enabled in my previous configuration and left that setting "as is". In fact, that was mentioned in the DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt as a prerequisite for accessing NT. Hope the encrypted password setting fixes your problem BTW: thanks for "teaching an old dog a new trick!!!"

I hope I can find here the solution to a problem I've been having for some time. I've had a good deal of experience with Samba on my home LAN (Linux and '95) but I've never tried to fully integrate a Linux system into an NT domain until now. I have my machine set up such that I am visible and can export shares to the NT machines in the domain, but when I try to browse their shares, the following happens: [root@localhost /root]# smbclient -L nt-machine -U bradsmi

It sets up the DNS and WINS connections and even sends keep alive packets back and forth. (At least I think thats what it is doing.) Being on a DSL line, I don't need the keep alive, but it is an indicator that its communicating, kind of). The catch is, I cant telnet/ping/nslookup anything on corp/net. I thought I may have read that Altavista Tunnel 98 encoded the return IP in the data. In which case its probably encoding the 168.192.x.x IP. Anyone know if there is truth to this?

Anything to be concerned about, a (pre-)hacking attempt, script kiddies at work? Or just some rare but harmless event in the wonderful world of ICMP messages? Roughly 'source quench' == 'slow down, you're going too fast for me'. I guess there is some scope for a mild denial-of-service attack but more likely it's just some poor overloaded router in the path between you and where you wanted to go. -- From: Michael Starkie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 2 Networks (new thread) Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 10:54:52 -0400 Does anyone have experience setting up their Linux host to exist on 2 networks. I have an ethernet connection to a LAN through my ethernetcard on one domain and a connection to a LAN through a ppp0 device through another domain. Bot use dynamic IP addresses. Right now I have to physically disconnect my ethernet card and reset my default gateway using linuxconf in order to connect to the ppp0 device. When I want to switch back to the ethernet I have to again reset my default gateway and then reboot to setup my ethernet device.

Last night a Netscape froze GNOME so hard that I could only telnet in from another box and reboot the machine (not even killing the Netscape or X processes released the screen, which I found odd). Upon rebooting, networking is now toast. All local networking runs fine, eth0 comes up without error while running /etc/rc.d/inet.d/network start, but trying to telnet outside gives an immediate 'Host name lookup failure.' although eth0 *seems* to come up, running netstat -nr shows only the lo interface info. running ifconfig eth0 gives good info, except the broadcast info is wrong. However, trying to config that with: ifconfig eth0 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gives SIOCFIFFLAGS: resource temporarily unavailable I've also seen error messages with SIOCADDR in them. Anybody know what's going on? This happened completely out of the blue and it's the second time. (The first time I reinstalled after 2 solid days of hacking on --- I don't want to do that again.) thanks -- From: Tony Green [EMAIL PROTECTED]
