Hint, I have no defined users and do not log in to the WinXP box. If you put the appropriate line in /etc/fstab with password=,user= then you can just do 'mount /mnt/samba'. (Or it may have to be user=guest). Thanks. It works with user=guest. OK, now to dig a little deeper. The set of directories (it varies) that I'm wanting to access appear to have no common high level directory(they are anchored on the WinXP desktop), so I need to do a separate mount for each. Short of putting a big list in fstab, is there any way to get a given directory mounted for general use upon demand, either by command or by root command and make the permissionssuch that normal users can manipulate it? After further experimentation This works as root (no passwd prompt, no errors of any sort) mount -t smbfs -o guest //name/Collins /mnt/smb-collins But it does not work from normal user relying on fstab entry //name/Collins /mnt/smb-collins smbfs \ noauto,user,guest 0 0 I get mount //name/Collins cannot mount on /mnt/smb-collins: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 Any ideas? Don't you need a username=guest line in there somewhere? Check 'man smbmount' I've also tried that. The mount command works with either -o guest or -o user=guest,password= , but I've found no combination that will work in fstab. Can't help you too much as I don't have a Windows share that doesn't have a password. But, I set the PASSWD environment variable, and added: //192.168.1.8/Tim /mnt/share smbfs noauto,user,rw 0 0 to /etc/fstab and was able to mount the share with 'mount /mnt/share' So perhaps setting USER=guest would work. Dunno if that's workable for you or not... Did you try: //name/Collins /mnt/smb-collins smbfs \ noauto,user,rw,username=guest 0 0 Good luck, Tim ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: SCO Sucks
Any judge in their right mind will be able to see through this. Politics aside, the judge would have to concede that SCO's tactics have been completely self-serving and not in accord with a desire to resolve anything. Since the code is already public, listing code that has been allegedly infringed upon would not in any way further any possible damages. No, this is SCO's attempts to make money off of Linux since they were unable to do so using more conventional means (ie. SELLING IT!)

Logon time limits
Is there a way to set logon time limits for up to a set number of hours in an arbitrary time period (like a week)? The goal is to limit logon time for the kids over a week to cut down on fighting over the computers on the network. I really don't want to confine them to a set time period each day because that will not help them learn to budget their own time.

Does anyone have any experience/advice/interesting opinions about doing so? I am wondering if there is a good distro or any other wonderfulnes that will make the thing fun and last the semester. What do you plan to use it for? 'clusters' have *ALOT* of different meanings and uses, and that is heavily dependent on how you set one up. We plan on using it to learn how to setup clusters. Let me rephrase. You're asking 'how do i setup a cluster'. I stated that there is no such thing as one type of cluster. Its as if you asked 'how do i create software?'. There's not a single type of software, or even a single programming language to write the software. My personal interest is distributed applications, so a virtual machine running a database would be good. But we don't have the disk space to make it worthwhile. I hope to use more than one configuration before we are done. Well, there are alot of different types of databases out there, some with excellent clustering support, some without. Oracle DB2 have pretty decent distributed processing support. The amount of diskspace isn't really an issue unless you plan to start dumping large chunks of data into the DB. Otherwise, a database will remain as small as you want it to. Like i already said, clusters are not a singular thing, like apache, or fortran programming. Its a very broad field, and you need to think about what part of it you're interested in persuing, as there isn't a single method that applies to everything. A cluster is just more than one physical computer working together to accomplish a single task. Be it data storage, numerical computation, graphic rendering, or something else altogether. Once you figure that out with a degree of specificity, then you can move towards determining how to set one up. -- ~ L.
