Samba - users folders

HI, I spent easter playing with samba - my boy is now networked! How do I specify the path for the users directory? as I wish to put this on a volume with more space. The O'rielly samba book makes everything appear to be very simple and is well written, but it took me several attempts to get things working - still not quite there! The client is unable to log onto a NT domain despite advertising as NT, although things like the Time Server worked without problems (I accessed this manually as I could not see my SuSE box at the time) Is it possible to log into a Samba session from the host LINUX machine? Roger I thought that I would report this from http://www.suse.de/uk/schools/linux_for_teachers.html Snip ...packages. These include ApplixwareTM package, both of which are sophisticated office suites comparable to Microsoft Office (and capable of reading and writing most common document formats). The.. It says BOTH but only mentions Appixware. There are also some spelling mistakes e.g. >>pachage<< Adrian.

newsreader
by tortoise 11 Apr '00

11 Apr '00

Following my earlier post about modems, I got myself a 3Com-USR 56k faxmodem,plugged it in and it works. The K e-mail client works, Netscape works although slowly, using the file manager as a browser is much faster. I cant get the K newsreader to work however. I've put the settings for SMTP server and NNTP server to match the settings I usually use for Agent on my NT machine: SMTP post.demon.co.uk NNTP news.demon.co.uk I have left the other boxes blank. When the newsreader initially attempts to get the available group list, the modem is busy, but it never finishes getting them. Any suggestions? regards Richard

I know that I shouldn't be playing but has anyone got the 3com palm pilot emulator to work? It runs on my machine but will not (willingly) close and does nothing at all other than look pretty!

SuSE offer for schools (looking for details)
by Darren Wyn Rees 06 Apr '00

06 Apr '00

Do SuSE do any reduced price / discount offers for (a) schools (b) registered charities ? If so, I would be interested in finding a useful URL pointing to the 'fine detail' of this offer. Thanks. -- Le biblioteche ci hanno dato il potere, poi il lavoro è venuto e ci ha reso liberi. Che prezzo ora, per un piccolo assaggio di dignità...

6.4 will be here in a couple of days. Terms for schools are the same as before. I hope there'll be some more activity on the list as a lot of new people who have pre-ordered 6.4 open those boxes...
