Hi, I'm using Firewall2 to protect an mail gateway and I checked out the firewall with NMAP. The TCP scanning looks good - port 25 is open all others are closed. I scanned UDP and there were many, many ports open - what did I do wrong? Thanks, John

Personally I know squat about samba but I got it working in about 5 mins after installing Webmin and letting webmin configure it. I've never used Swat and don't really want to. Webmin will configure *lots* of things and is a good tool to have available.

Bruce, I didn't find webmin on the installation disk, (I have 8.1Prof), where can I get this? I have used Swat, but wouldn't mind using webmin if that is better. -- Frits Wüthrich Pentaxianado

www.webmin.com An excellent program and it should install without a hitch. Get the rpm file that you should find there.

I have it installed on a SuSE 8.1 machine - it is great for configuring lots of things - works straight out of the box. One problem that i have encountered is that it does not write very good procmailrc files - the syntax appears wrong. Tim

Well, I installed Webmin & it works, It starts my Smba servers. However I still have all the same errors. When I boot, the only thing I get thats not green is related to samba. Mount SMB Filesystem :UNUSED This pops up in white text. So I must being doing something wrong.... -Trey
hello, take a look at: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/start_foo80.html make the chkconfig for the nmb demon first. it worked for me (I've joined an NT40 PDC with my suse 8.1) you may be interested also to: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/fhassel_smb.html a great solution for sharing, IMHO. let me know if it works. bye Fabiano At 04:49 PM 4/4/03 -0600, you wrote:

I just checked and they support all versions of SuSE (not 8.2 yet... but will) I installed it, it can do more then Samba, but for Samba I don't see what the advantage is over Swat. Perhaps there is, I simply don't know as a newbie. I thought Webmin could help me ressolve the issue I have since the last weekend in March with the summertime: SuSE8.1 advanced the time one hour which was OK, and when I booted into WindowsXP, that also did that showing
On Friday 04 April 2003 21:58, Bruce Marshall wrote: the correct time, and when I booted later again SuSE, it was running an hour ahead. I used Webmin to adjust the time. I wish I didn't, since then the time while running SuSE is erratic, it is now 34 minutes behind. The time on WindowsXP is still OK. Don't know how I can fix this one. -- Frits Wüthrich Pentaxianado

Can someone please email me a text copy of these samba files: file:/etc/samba/smbfstab file:/etc/samba/lmhosts file:/etc/samba/smbusers That way I can learn/compare my system to a working one. Thanks, -Trey
