As an aside, you can add rlan:/ , smb:/ , etc to the bookmarks (and the bookmarks toolbar). UpdatePeriod=300# Refresh period ? This is the base refresh period, if no call is made to lisa/reslisa during this time it will double (up to four(?) times, so left alone it will only update every 2400 seconds. My questions ? With my settings above, would a machine with X.Y.107.21 be allowed ? Yes, that should be shown. X.Y.143.187? No, by your config only X.Y.104-107.* would be checked. You should be able to specify the IP range using this method, eg: X.Y.100-150.0-20 should be accepted by res/lisa. How much do lisarc and reslisarc rely on settings in smb.conf ? I don't really know however I think it is only (partially) used for the SMB parts, the FTP and HTTP parts are determined seperately. Should I put Wins Servers addresses in the line PingNames ? PingNames is only used to specify address to check by name rather then IP number, if you have already specified them in AllowedAddresses there is no need to add them here again (err, well see below). In smb.conf there are two lines remote browse sync and remote announce [...snipped...] Should remote browse sync be the ip address of the wins server ? Should remote announce be set to X.Y.107.255 ? Correctly configuring your samba server is another whole kettle of fish, but I don't think you need to change anything there to get res/lisa working. An example (untested) reslisa configuration file that should check 192.168.0.0 through to 192.168.25.255, as well as the single machine at 193.0.0.5 : PingNames = # Not needed (see below) AllowedAddresses = 192.168.0-25.0-255;193.0.0.5 SearchUsingNmblookup = 1 FirstWait = 30 SecondWait = -1 UpdatePeriod = 300 DeliverUnnamedHosts = 1 #also publish hosts without name ^^^ Does Your config have this line? MaxPingsAtOnce = 256 I found res/lisa would not report a machine which could be pinged but offered no services (eg no samba, no ftp, etc), even with DeliverUnnamedHosts set to 1 it still failed to do this. However they are reported if you specifically name them (although by IP only), so if you wanted to able to use this to check your mailserver is still on the network you could add mailserver.localnet to PingNames. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] nmblookup and Konquerer lan browsing
Hi Malcolm [...snipped...] Where are you clicking on network? NETWORK appears like network neighbourhood in Windows underneath the Folders etc... on the left hand side of konqueror This is an interesting feature. lan connects to lisa and rlan connects to reslisa. Lisa opens a port (7124 by default I think), reslisa does not do this. Lisa itself uses this port to talk to other lisa servers running on the network, and also the konqueror client uses it (so if you have lisa only running on machine homer and you are on machine marge, lan://localhost wont work, but lan://homer will). Reslisa does everything lisa does except it's output is taken from a specially created pipe(?) in /tmp, instead of a port. Rlan:/ connects konqueror to this pipe (so rlan only works on machines where reslisa is running locally). I'm not sure why some machines are not resolved to hostnames, my best guess is that those not found by nmblookup stay as numbers. All my machines are detected by reslisa and lisa, what does your reslisarc/lisarc file look like, particulary the PingNames, PingAddresses and AllowedAddresses fields? KDE control panel has (on Mandrake) 2 configuration things for this, Under Configuration,KDE,network, there is Windows Shares and Lan Browsing These update files /$HOME/.kde/share/config/kio_lanrc /$HOME/.kde/share/config/lisarc /$HOME/.kde/share/config/rlisarc While looking for these lisarc and rlisarc files, I came across - /$HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/lan.desktop it has a line which says URL=lan:/ which is the problem I changed that to URL=lan://localhost/localhost and it works by displaying the active network shares for my computer as defined in the KDE control center I then changed it to read rlan:/ This then should display the machines on the network Both lisarc and rlisarc, I have setup mostly the same (added comments here) AllowedAddresses=X.Y.0.0/255.255.252.0 # local lan addresses and subnet mask BroadcastNetwork=X.Y.107.255/255.255.252.0 # only in lisarc for range X.Y.105.30 FirstWait=99# time to wait for reply in 1/100 sec MaxPingsAtOnce=256 # unexplained meaning PingAddresses=X.Y.0.0/255.255.252.0 # only in lisarc -address range PingNames=X.Y.104.121;X.Y.199.9.116;X.Y.10.45 # these are wins servers on the lan SearchUsingNmblookup=1 # this is self explanatory SecondWait=99 # as first wait UpdatePeriod=300# Refresh period ? My questions ? With my settings above, would a machine with X.Y.107.21 be allowed ? X.Y.143.187? How much do lisarc and reslisarc rely on settings in smb.conf ? Should I put Wins Servers addresses in the line PingNames ? In smb.conf there are two lines remote browse sync and remote announce In Windows Network Neighbourhood, the Domain is displayed, as the domain covers multiple sites, and ip ranges, eg. X.Y.0.0-X.Y.?.? and X.Y.104.0-X.Y.107.255 They all see each other, no problem What should my settings be in smb.conf ? My IP is X.Y.105.30 Should remote browse sync be the ip address of the wins server ? Should remote announce be set to X.Y.107.255 ? Trying to get this happening Chris I hope this helps more then it confuses.

[SLUG] nmblookup and Konquerer lan browsing
Hi guys I've got a question, using samba 2.2.1 on Mandrake 8.1, Konqueror using lisa and reslisa daemons. I've been trying to setup the lan browsing through Konqueror, talk about undocumented features. I've finally worked most of it out. Clicking on Network brings an error - cannot connect to localhost as it trys to connect to lan://localhost change it to read lan:/hostname and it works depending on lisa configuration shows FTP, SMB, HTTP and NFS shares/connections clicking on SMB changes the address in the address bar to read smb://hostname and shows shares FTP does likewise and asks for authentication and allows you to broswe the ftp site a la explorer/konqueror file manager style. typing in the address bar rlan:/ scans the local subnet for machines, but doesn't name resolve them all or list them all for that manner (gnomba when scanning via ip finds heaps more and name resolves them) Very strange state of affairs. Has anyone got this set up successfully Christopher Booth -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
