Patches are distributed in the traditional gzip and the new bzip2 format. To install by patching, get all the newer patch files, enter the directory in which you unpacked the kernel source and execute: gzip -cd patchXX.gz | patch -p0 or bzip2 -dc patchXX.bz2 | patch -p0 (repeat xx for all versions bigger than the version of your current source tree, _in_order_) and you should be ok.

Re: Help with Samba Domain Logins
Ian, I have successfully gotten Samba 2.2.1 to work with Win2k and SuSE 7.3. I am sure that it is similar to RH. I used the Samba How-to to get going (http://www.linux.com/howto/SMB-HOWTO.html#toc7). I had to transition what I had on COL2.4/RH 7.0 which had older versions of Samba connected to Win98. Initially I just needed to share printers, but decided to also share some directories publicly and via log-in. Ok, first I got rid of the use of encrypted passwords on my Win2k box. To do this, on your Win2k box run regedit. When the window opens pick (from the left panel): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SYSTEM-CurrentControlSet-Services-lanmanworkstation-parameters In the right panel select: enableplaintextpassword Press the right mouse button and choose modify, setting the value to 0x1. Now, I had the same user accounts on both machines, but my printers and public directories allow guests (so my kids don't have accounts on my linux box). I created an account for the guest (smbuser). I didn't touch /etc/samba/smbpasswd, but did add the following to /etc/samba/smbusers: root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest I also added the following to /etc/samba/lmhosts, after the localhost line (but I don't know if I needed to): 192.168.1.101 Windows That is the IP for my Win2k box. I also created /home/public open to everyone in the user group. Below is my smb.conf: ### [global] workgroup = MACCHIA server string = Samba Server on SuSE 7.3 os level = 2 kernel oplocks = No security = user printing = LPRNG printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = Yes wins support = No guest account = smbuser map to guest = Bad Password [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 browseable = no write list = @users [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/public read only = No public = yes writable = yes printable = no browseable = Yes guest ok = true write list = @users [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 printable = Yes browseable = No ### Notice that only [public] is browsable and has guest ok = true. This keeps my kids out of my home directories. Anyone can print from the windows box but not everyone can browse homes. And public is browseable but only those users in the users group on linux can modify the contents. I am not 100% sure that I understand everything here because there is some wierdness in browsing the home shares that I am confused about. For example, lets say my Linux machine name is Susan and I have a /home/sue on the linux box with a login/password: sue/foo. Lets say I also have /home/bob with a login/password of bob/bar. On the win2k box I have the same login/password combos. When I log in to the win2k box as, say sue, in the explorer (EntireNetwork-MicrosoftWindowsNetwork-Macchia-Susan-sue) is visible. When I select it I get prompted for the login/password and after entering it, I can browse and write to the directory). Ok this makes sense. Then if I log in as bob, in the explorer I see both 'bob' AND 'sue'. If I choose either one and enter any valid linux/win user/pwd combo, I can browse and write to BOTH of these directories. Maybe, this make sense in light of the [homes] section. I have played with this a little and if I create specific shares writable by specifc log-ins, then I may see both sue and bob, but cannot browse/write to both. Hope this helps. And if anyone finds this useful, let me know and I'll add to my existing SxS on printing w/ Samba.

Many responsible providers started blocking port 80 in response to Code Red and Nimbda since clueless windows users (but then I repeat myself) were running vulnerable web servers, often without knowing the servers were running. When I looked at my apache logs for Code Red/Nimbda attempts, I was amazed at the percentage that were cable or DSL sites in the U.S., given that Code Red was NT/w2k specific and didn't attack the older Windows viruses. I didn't think there were that many NT/w2k systems in this type of installation. If your contract doesn't forbid you to run any kind of server, and you can find somebody with a clue at your ISP, then you should probably be able to get them to unblock your system.

Need help to set up IMAP-server
Hello I've been trying to get imap working on my SuSE 7.1 (home)mailserver, without success. I've tried the 'general (University of Washington)' imap daemon that came with SuSE and Cyrus-IMAP. Neither of them worked. The Cyrus package also had a pop3 daemon which doesn't work either. I can telnet to localhost 110 and 443 and I see the Cyrus greeting. When I say (to the POP3) USER gvs PASS [password] I get login failed. The IMAPD doesn't work either, I used . LOGIN gvs [password] It seems unable to authenticate any user. The qpopper daemon works fine. I read the HOWTO about Cyrus-IMAP, but I can't find what I'm doing wrong. I hope someone can help me.

DMA on CDWriter
Hello How can I enable DMA on an IDE writer in Linux? I need SCSI-emulation to use the writer, but that disables DMA. It seems that my 16X CDWriter cannot write at that speed without DMA. It only works at 12X, and uses up a lot of CPU resources. Is there any way to switch DMA back on? hdparm refuses because it sees a SCSI device. Thanks for any help.
