I just got this working myself. Ironically it's a lot more complicated than setting Linux up as a Samba server! Here's what you do if another (Windows) machine acts as the Primary Domain Controller and password server (as opposed to using the Linux box itself for those functions): (i) Choose a unique Netbios host name for your Linux box. (ii) (Logged in as root) install Samba on your Linux box, configure /etc/smb.conf appropriately, including your chosen Netbios hostname and the IP addresses of the PDC and password server, set START_SMB="yes" in /etc/rc.config and run SuSEConfig. (iii) Get the NT Sysadmin to register your NetBIOS hostname on the PDC. (iv) On the Linux box (logged in as root), run # smbpasswd -j <domain> -r <pdc-host-name> to activate the client. (v) On the Linux box (logged in as root) start up the samba daemons like this: # rcsmb restart (vi) Make sure you can access shared directories on Windows boxes in that domain, from an appropriate login on the Linux box. If this doesn't work then either something went wrong in one of the previous steps or else your Windows network was set up to use Scope ID's. If it's the latter (fairly unlikely) you can contact me for a patch. (v) Use Yast to set up a remote Samba printer. This sets up an extra queue to take the output from the (not yet created) local printer queues and forward it to the print server using /usr/bin/samba_print which in turn calls smbclient. (vi) Use Yast to set up apsfilter printers in the normal way. When it asks for the name of the device where the output should be sent, you send it to /dev/null. The apsfilterrc will detect the requirement to redirect and will forward the filtered, formatted print image to the dummy queue you set up in step (v). However... wulfie wrote:

Either configure smbprint manually or use Yast/System Admin/Network config/Connect to printer using Samba.

Don't forget that you need authorisation from the Win-box so you need a valid Win username & passwd to print.

(The YaST script in step (v) will prompt you for these). There is a bit of a security issue there, unfortunately. Your Windows network password gets stored in *plain text* in the /etc/apsfilterrc.<printername> file, to be passed as a parameter to that /usr/bin/samba_print script I mentioned, because smbclient needs it. The apsfilterrc.<printername> is root-only read/write access...but even so! Beware also that if you turn on debugging in samba_print this password will appear in the debugging log file /tmp/smb-print.log. I therefore strongly suggest that if possible you create a special "printing account" for that NT domain, which has a null or trivial password and no other access privileges, and use the username and password for *that* in step (v).

If I 'chmod +x' I get 'No sure file or directory', it is just a standard configure script (for CVS).

Try 'chmod u+x configure', rather than just 'chmod +x'.

I re-unpacked the tar file, this time it gave me a user of 518 rather than root, then for some reason it let me run configure. Many thanks for all the help.

First, I have a cable modem where the IP address is assigned dynamically. There are some good reasons for having dynmic IP addresses. Eventhough the addresses are dynamic, they rarely change. My city was renumbered once in the past 3.5 years. I was assigned a new IP address when I changed NICs. My cable company uses DNS for the host names, and they update their databases when a new IP address is assigned. They recently changed their host names from email address based names to MAC address based names, but we were allowed to keep our old names if we wanted to. However, our cable company will not use private domain names. There are services which will forward your domain traffic. I doubt that you cable company changes your IP address frequently.

Although I don't really want to run my own web server (it would be nice though), I would like to run my own mail server. I have my own domain registered, but is it possible to do this with a dynamic IP address, if not is there any work around?

What regular network printer setup in YaST? I have : Adinister remote printers Connect to printer via Samba Connect to printer via Novell Is there another option that I am not finding??? This is Suse 6.3 and Yast 1.03. Louis Lenz Grimmer wrote:

Hmm, it should with lprold as well. Just set it up like a regular network printer in YaST.

Use this one:

System administration -> Network configuration -> Administer remote printers

Good luck!

is this how you set up remote linux shared printers ? Yippe , then I can now move a printer out of tha way and put it outside , just as soon as I add a network cable to the hub/pc. I thought that this had to be done manualy. At 05:54 PM 3/16/2000 +0100, Lenz Grimmer wrote:

My problem seems to be a filter issue. I can send some data to the printer. But when I do it runs off the page and all the others are blank. I have tried lprold the old version and the new version and LPRng. All of them give the same result. Louis Damon Register wrote:

Lenz Grimmer wrote: printing to another brand of print server. Now that you mention lprold I seem to remember reading somewhere (maybe it was the package description) that there was something wrong with the new package while the old one works. Am I remembering correctly that there is something wrong with the new lpr and that the old one works (for network printing anyway)?

TECHNICALLY, not easily.

You COULD do:

mail.yourdomain.com CNAME foo.dyndns.com @ IN MX mail.yourdomain.com

where dyndns.com is some "dynamic IP to name matching service", EXCEPT that (technically), MX records cannot point to CNAME's.

Will it work? Yes. Is it the right thing to do? No.

Bob; Thanks... I was trying and (with some help) trying to get Linux to print to 2000 (2195F). Ralph was kind enough the help out. I have been playing *NIX. I have it working, and 2000 does not seem to be that different than NT. So if you got his (Ralph's post) save it...
