[techtalk] SAMBA
Are there any good references or how-tos on the net for setting up samba? I have a Windows 2000 box (my primary development system) and a Redhat Linux 7 system connected via Ethernet cards (using DHCP) to a Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router to an ADSL line. I completely wiped out my Redhat Linux 6.1 system to install Redhat Linux 7 from scratch and have "conveniently" forgotten how the heck I had it configured. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] SAMBA
Hi, you should find the necessary documentation files in /usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.7 (or a similar path), as well as the reg-files you need to adapt Windows' Registry. Samba installs a sample smb.conf in your /etc directory, which should work in most cases (except you would like to access ADS with samba, AFAIK this is not supported yet). There's also a SMB-Howto. You can find it at http://www.linuxdoc.org. -- Anne -- BetaResearch Gesellschaft fuer Entwicklung und IT-Services Vermarktung digitaler Infrastrukturen mbH Anne Forker Betastrasse 1 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 85774 Unterfoehring Internet: http://www.BetaResearch.de ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

[techtalk] Large HD and VMWare's raw partitions
One of my Linux system has a slave disk which is 20GB. (0)root@myhost:/~# fdisk /dev/hdc The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2646. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help) (0)root@myhost:~/ The disk partitions at the begining of the disk are Linux ext2 filesystems. Four partitions at the end of the disk are FAT16/msdos. The DOS partitions have been defined in /etc/fstab but at bootup time, these file systems are not getting mounted. I cannot even mount them manually. When I tried to mount them, mount -t auto /dev/hdc5 /msdos then the filesystem is mounted as a ext2 filesystems. When I try to mount them as msdos filesystems, mount -t msdos /dev/hdc5 /msdos then the following message appears: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc5, or too many mounted file systems The goal is to create a raw partition for VMWare on the /dev/hdc5 partition and install NT over it rely on M$ systems. How can I create raw partitions for VMware on large HDs and mount them? Thank you in advance.

[techtalk] been hacked...?
I just traveled to the Philippine Islands for nearly 3 weeks. (Sidenote: foreign computer situation in that country is uh... interesting :-) Upon returning, I was going to check some of my log files and discovered my entire /var/log directory was missing. Everything seems to working fine (except cron which has started functioning again after I recreated the log folder), I haven't inspected many config files as yet, but I've found no files deleted, my web page has not been changed, no files stored in the ftp directory. My question is: Is there some other explanation as to how the entire directory was deleted, other than that my computer was hacked? Thanks!

[techtalk] Basic networking
Hi all, I'm a Linux newbie who's using Red Hat 7. I realize this is slightly off the subject, but I am *really* new If I want to share an SDSL line between 2 computers, what are my options? I know customarily, people use routers, are there any other good alternatives, for example, software? I purchased a Linksys hub (switch) on the recommendation of a friend, without realizing what would be needed. Also, as far as networking, can I see a Windows 2000 machine from a Linux box? I will have one of each when I bring home a PC from work. Thanks in advance for your help. Mary ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

This computer would be hooked up to your SDSL line and serve the rest of the computers behind it. You would run an Ethernet cable from the firewall to the hub and then plug the rest of your computers into the hub. There is probably some way to "see" a windows box from linux. I usually go the other way though and view Linux from Windows using Samba. I hope that kind of answered your questions... kent -- I'd really love to wana help you Flanders but...

I haven't tried it with Windows 2K yet. I don't even use a hub at this point, I have a crossover cable plugged into each NIC card in each machine. As far as 'seeing', it depends on what you mean. My RH machine can see the network connection, and reach the internet, but I haven't had much use to try anything beyond that yet. I am running on an ISDN line with a terminal adapter plugged into the Windows 98 machine, so the Windows machine is the 'server' of the network. There are actually a few ways you could do this, depending on your SDSL setup, and what equipment you are using.

RE: [techtalk] Basic networking
You can set up a system and use what is known as NAT (Network Address Translation), or Masq in Linux. Basically, this lets more than one PC use a single IP address. My recommendation is to go buy the LinkSys Etherfast Cable/DSL router. They are $99 from buy.com and do NAT in hardware. They are fast and easy to configure. Plus, they inherently secure your network since inbound connections are not allowed. Cheap and very effective.

If you want to exchange files between Linux and Windows, you need Samba. Your machines should be in the same IP subnet then (192.168.32.XXX for example).
