Unless you will never upgrade or move client computers, don't set it to
unlimited, or you can't recover a lease to a DHCP client.

 How do I configure dhcpd so that it gives out leases that never expired?

 Hello,
  I upgraded to SuSE 6.2 and now find my NFS server not responding as
 before. I cannot mount exported directories.

 The /etc/exports is untouched. The client is still the same, no change
 compared to pre upgrade state.

 It seems the nfsd is behaving different from the earlier version.

 I do not find any message in /var/log/messages or /var/log/warn.

 After a mount trial, I get the simple answer "Time Out".

 Thanks

 Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Are you sure, that the nfs servers starts properly on your box?
Maybe the update has changed the startup.
How does your exports file look like, now?
If you still have problems, send further details.

Best regards

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!!!" Guess I should start reading those
damn "release notes"

 Hello, folks. 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

Hi,

Well, thats good news :)
I've probably got something hosed in windoze then.

Ron

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...

I'm also using av tunnel 98, linux ipmasqing - cable to internet
and everything works fine -
no special rules in the firewall scripts were required
I can mount office disks on my home machine, telent, ping etc
you might make sure that use have a valid dns server address for the
corp
network.

 Hi,

 My current setup:
 xdsl
 NT  --- Openlinux 2.2  internet --- corp/net
 Tunnel 982.2.10 kernel
  ipmasqing
  firewall

 Tunnel 98 appears to connect up to our corporate network.
 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?

 Are there workarounds?  Suggestions?

 Ron

Now, the big question is - what's a "source quench"? 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.

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.

Wouldn't it be cool to be attached to both networks at the same time?

hi,

if i ping myself, it works fine. but, i see no network activity on the hub
lights (am i supposed to?) i'll try compiling the 3c509 driver into the kernel,
but i don't imagine that should make much of a difference, would it? (i am
getting desperate).

 Can you ping to yourself on the linux box? Since you are saying that if you
 boot with Win on the linux hardware you can communicate, the possibility of
 any hardware and the physical part of the network problem is ruled out. The
 problem is definetly with Linux. I think it has nothing to do with routing
 also since they are on the same network 192.168.1.0  Hav you tried compiling
 the ethernet  support not as a module.

 Your problem is quite interesting and obscure too. Do let me know the
 solution if you get it right . Good luck !

I've made a connection from an offline box through a null modem on an
online box in a network.  I use the ascii protocol to upload the file in
the online box (what seems to be going allright) but if i try to download
in ascii it tells me READY but the specified file for download is empty.
The other protocols (xmodem, ymodem,zmodem) don't seem to work?
What is my problem? (Debian!!)

Subject: SIOCFIFFLAGS et al
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 11:39:31 -0400

I'm running redhat 6 with a 3com509 card that has been working stable for
a while.  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
