Applying kernel patches

2001-03-24 Thread Hall Stevenson
I apologize that this isn't directly Debian-related, but I know there are some people around who probably know the answer... I'm currently running kernel 2.4.2-ac20. I just downloaded the patch for 2.4.2-ac24. My question is, can I apply this patch against my current source tree (2.4.2-ac20) ??

Samba Password

2001-03-24 Thread Gregor Kaleta
I have a problem with the Samba Password. Samba is running and the correct smbpasswd file exists. But when I want to login (for using shares) from my Win98SE Client, I get the Error that my Password was wrong. What have I done wrong?

Network configuration

2001-03-24 Thread Steve Doerr
Hi. I wonder if anybody has any advice on network configuration, because I can't get eth1 to pass any traffic out of my router box. I've got box1's eth0 connected to my dsl line through the dsl modem/router and it picks up the ip, etc. through dhcpcd. This card is connected to the internet fine.

Well, OK.. I guess *somebody* has to patch the kernels, so it may as well be the people who "sell" them, i.e. distribution "vendors" like Debian and RedHat.. as long as the patches aren't forking the kernel source tree, official or effective, I'm happy - chris On Sat, 24 Mar 2001, Shawn Yarbr

Try using the protocol "IMPS/2". And disable 3 button emulation, you only need that if you want simultaneous left and right clicks to be a middle click...your mouse wheel is your true third button.
