[S.u.S.E. Linux] Samba anyone?

--------------16AAB5D8B82EAD9DE2C94492 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am currently reading up on Samba. If you don't know, Samba is a way to make your WinDos-NT system think your Linux/UNIX box is one of them. I have not seen any evidence yet of Samba being able to fully implement the NT SAM. I have seen a glimmer of hope that the Samba Team may try to implement an alternative, and perhaps NT compatible, solution using LDAP. Since I am slowly becoming something of an expert in LDAP, this would really make me happy. I also think it would make for a much more powerful and versatile service than WINS/Browsing/SAM. I have a friend who works in a biological research lab with a limited budget who needs to support Lanman browsing across subnets. Samba could be used with Linux to effect this at a very low cost. I guess if I wish to say much more about Samba, I should say that on the Samba mailing list. I'll just leave y'all with a plug for John D. Blair's new book *Samba, Integrating Unix and Windows*. It is well written and informative. -- "Alles Vergaengliche Ist nur ein Gleichniss" -Goethe, as quoted in Ludwig Boltzmann's Vorlessungen ueber Gastheorie. --------------16AAB5D8B82EAD9DE2C94492 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> I am currently reading up on Samba.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Win 32 & Linux

Is there any support in Linuxverse for Win32? I know many may ask 'why I should care?' Well, I just think it would be cool to show this to my MS-Borg boss, and say "look, Linux can do that too!"

In menuconfig there is an option for "old style" setup or something similar or along those lines, say yes and jump through the rest of the hoops, save and exit, you'll be asked if you want to save.

As root mount the wabi cdrom 2. execute the script "install-wabi" on the cdrom, you do not need to be in x-windows 3. it will install to /opt/wabi 4. chmod /dev/zero 666 5. logon as a user and startx --bpp 8, as wabi needs 256 colors, or 24 bit color if your card supports it. 6. type "wabi" from an xterm and it will want to see some win3.1 floppies, or a win3.1 installation on a hard disk.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the standard Perl that comes with Suse 5.1 says it's been compiled for a i686, and I have a i586.?? zentara -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
