hello,

well I've went through some considerable pains to install the latest samba
on my system its there... everything seems to be working fine (seems to
be) the client can see the server the server and the client like to talk
back and forth... however when it comes to the issue of passwords... it no
longer like me

I'm running shadow passwords... I have netatalk already installed for the
MacIntoshes on my system and I'm also running quotas. Does anybody have any
suggestions... I have tried every step in the "Diagnosing Samba"
documentation and I always get a failure of password... I have changed and
tried my password in upper and in lowercase letters etc. etc. etc.does
anybody else have this problem or am I the only one?

Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password?
Some servers insist that these be in uppercase

No I'm having trouble with passwords... I have no NT box on my system
I can see all public directories... but I can't get into any of my
password protected directories... I can't get in using smbclient and I
can't get in using a 95 computer.

nope I'm targeting my server...  I can't get authenticated by my server on
the linux box... I can see all the shares on the linux box from my 95
computer and also in smbclient from 2 other linux computers... but I can't
get into the password protected directories like my home directories..

You all seem to be missing the point. Have any of you tried ICQ in the
last little while? I recommend you try it before even bothering to suggest
such a clumsy and poorly written protocol like IRC. 

1. Easy to use.
2. Its a Swiss Army Knife for communications (meaning it does almost
everything as far as chatting goes)
3. Shows when friends are on. You don't have to worry about dynamic IP
addresses.


However, I also agree with the lines I quoted above. I don't believe in
proprietary solutions (They don't always fit my needs so its easier to
make changes when I have the source).

We have many standards which cover most of what ICQ does.   But we don't
have anyway to bind them together into a seemless communications tool that
allows us to communicate with each other regardless of IP number (nothing 
as smooth as ICQ, that is). Microsoft and Netscape have both built suites
that don't impress me compared to ICQ. 

ICQ is a good model of what I think the future brings in communications.
ICQ is a little slow, the company seems to have number of problems trying
to keep its system running. But it is still a good idea.  

As long as we continue to recognize good ideas... We will continue to
create better software.

I don't apologize for the speech.

Merit Radius The Debian Package

1997-08-04 Thread Andrew Brigham
Is it just me or does debian Merit Radius package come with a precompiled
no shadow password default

Long sentence to say... Its not working with my shadow passwords...  ???

I've compile merit radius by itself before and it gave me an option for
shadow passwords in the Makefile... I would assume that most internet
service providors who are using Debian Linux as there Radius server would
want to have Radius with shadow passwords... Or am I wrong in assuming
that most who do this also use the very same system for both mail and
shell access? 

Is there any easy switch... that the debian guys have added or do I still
have to download the source

Radius Merit the ongoing battle

1997-08-05 Thread Andrew Brigham

1. I installed Merit Radius
2. I realized I wasn't allowed to use shadow passwords
3. I downloaded the source and fixed the shadow thing in the Makefile
4. I managed to get the server running nicely
5. I did a killall -HUP radiusd-merit
6. Merit stopped sending information to the logfile

I retried 5 and 6 numerous times. It seems Merit Radius doesn't want
continue adding to the logfile after a killall -HUP
The version number is 2.4.23C

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated???
