Yast2 - DHCP Server Module doesn't work!
Hi, I'm having problems with the DHCP Server module in Yast2. When I click it, the Samba module is loaded. I've uninstalled this module and updated to the current version. This didn't help. I've got all of the updates from SuSE and didn't find much help in the knowledge base. Does anyone have this problem? Thanks, Jason
Section 3.6.3 of the SuSE Pro 9.0 User's Guide (English version) says that the Network Services group has tabs for Samba Server. On my installation this tab does not appear. I have successfully installed the Samba Server package. Is there something I need to do to make this configuration tab/panel appear? Thank you - Richard
On a different machine (dual P3s) the tabs appear just fine - one for Samba client and one for Samba server. But on this machine (a single P4 with hyperthreading) the tabs do not appear, even though I have installed all of the Samba packages. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi Richard, I saw your post earlier and thought, to myself of course, does he have 9.0 installed, or *9.0 Pro* installed? Some networking services only become available in the Pro version. Alternatively, if you upgraded "only installed packages" on that machine, could that have somehow prevented YaST from adding it's own "Pro" version network configuration modules? Assuming the Pro distribution is available (since it appears to be installed on the dual PIII system,) I'd open up YaST's Install & Remove Software, filter by Selection and manually verify what has and has not been upgraded or installed on the problem machine. I've been known to bypass the 'default' selections and manually install everything when disk space isn't a problem ;-) Just a thought... regards, - Carl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C.

Carl, Thank you for the ideas. However I am using SuSE 9.0 Pro. This was a clean install, however I had some problems with my CD's so I did this incrementally - after ma,ing sure I could duplicate the CDs successfully with no errors. I first performed a base install with minimum graphics, then KDE, then Samba. After this did not work I went to Yast - Install Software, filtered by Selections and then chose "Network Server" which installed a lot of other stuff too (LDAP, DHCP, etc.). I was not interested in the other server packages, but thought maybe that is what it took to get the Samba configuration tabs. But no luck. Any other ideas? I'm about to try and re-install, I'd been avoiding this as it took a lot of effort to get my RAID array working properly. Oh well, it will go faster this time - I'm experience :) Thank you again - Ricajrd -----Original Message----- From: Carl Hartung [mailto:suselinux@cehartung.com] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 9:13 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] RE: Yast2 Network Services - Samba Server still not there On Mon, 2004-04-12 at 11:39, Richard Mixon (qwest) wrote: <-snip->

Richard, IMHO, an incremental install caused by problem CDs isn't exactly a "clean" install, is it? Yes, the system may have been clean at the start, but the procedure deviated from the norm, or 'default.' I think you've installed services without installing the modules YaST uses to configure them. This distinction is important. I'm pretty certain you can have services installed for manual configuration and not install the corresponding YaST components. Here's another suggestion: In "Install & Remover Software," try filtering by Packages, instead of Selections. In the left panel, scroll all the way down to System->YaST. "yast2-samba-server" will have a check mark in the box if it is installed. I don't know what else to suggest beyond this. - Carl
Bingo! I (obviously still a SuSE newbie) did not realize that you had to "install" the yast2-samba-server package (actually, had never browsed down to that section of packages. It is working great now. Now I just have to figure out how to configure LDAP/SSL.

(1) post your /etc/samba/smb.conf; (2) post the output of: ps ax | grep
mdb (3) SuSE splits smbd and nmbd so make sure both are running; also (4)
post the output of testparm. The /usr/share/doc/packages/samba information
is excellent. The html docs and DIAGNOSIS.TXT will help. Most likely you are
dealing with a name resolution problem.

David - thanks.
