AFAIK, you just have to set up smbpasswd for the users, they don't need a system account to access shares. If you want to give them home directories by default (as in $HOME) then they need a linux account. Set up Samba for share-level access, rather than user-level. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Carleton [SMTP:activex1@one.net] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2000 4:14 PM To: SuSE Subject: Re: [SLE] accounts ONLY for smb Jon Pennington wrote: > On Wed, 05 Jan 2000, Darren R.

Does this also deny things like FTP and other services? The ONLY thing I want to work is Samba.

[SLE] accounts ONLY for smb
by Anonymous User 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

I have added my Linux box to my NT PDS. Now my understanding is that I have to create the same users on the Linux box that I presently have on the NT box. I have a few questions... One name on the PDS has a space in it, like this "Mike Wilson". How do I setup an account for that login on the Linux box? I have other accounts that are over 8 characters long. How do I deal with that? Most important, I want all the NT accounts to ONLY have smb access, I don't want any of them to be able to log into the Linux box from the console, telnet, or any other means other then smb. Is there a way I can do that?

I decided to take a look at kdevelop. When installing, it tells me that Glimpse and Glimpseindex are not installed. Is Glimpse on the SuSE 6.3 cd? I looked and couldn't find it. -- Kenneth R.

[SLE] SuSE 6.3 Library question..
by noodle＠penguinpowered.com 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

Hi. I just wanted to know which library version does SuSE 6.3 use? Is it the same one as SuSE 6.2? Or has their been another major version change as per 6.1? The reason i ask is because i need to use an updated package from 6.3 on a 6.2 server right away.. Before i can finish testing 6.3 for any bugs that may pop up on our set up.

[SLE] Compile a kernel
by icarus＠guldennet.nl 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

Hi, This may be a stupid question, but is there a simple explanation (step-by-step?) how to compile a kernel? For instance: I want to forward some ports to an internal, private box with IP 192.168.1.2. I'd have to recompile my kernel with some additional options, like: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MOD=y and CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPAUTOFW=y/m CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPPORTFW=y/m CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MFW=y/m ror respective modules But how?! I've never compiled a kernel before and I wouldn't know..

I think Bluefish is on the Suse distribution disks, but I'm not too sure if it's on the 6.2 CDs. There's also vi, Netscape Composer and emacs which come to mind.

[SLE] DMA Buffers
by maurizio＠adriatico.prisma.rm.cnr.it 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

I get very often this message: "kernel: Sound error: Couldn't allocate DMA buffer" which means that I cannot play any sound when it occurs. I read the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/README.modules which states: "[...] Linux can often have problems allocating DMA buffers for ISA cards on machines with more than 16MB RAM. The way to avoid this problem is to allocate the DMA buffers during module load and deallocate them when the module is unloaded. For this to be effective we need to load the sound modules right after the kernel boots, either manually or by an init script, and keep them around until we shut down. This is a little wasteful of RAM, but it guarantees that sound always works. To make the sound driver use persistent DMA buffers we need to pass the sound.o module a "dmabuf=1" command-line argument. This is normally done in /etc/conf.modules (or the more proper /etc/modules.conf) like so: options sound dmabuf=1 " I have a soundblaster 16 VIBRA and my /etc/conf.modules now looks like: alias char-major-14 sb options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 options sound dmabuf=1 # This is what I added after getting the knowledge :-) It seems to work! I just wanted to share it with you.

[SLE] Weird Sound and /etc/modules.conf
by bfootdav＠bellsouth.net 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Hello all, First off, sound IS working perfectly, it's just that I noticed something interesting today. I do *not* have the commercial OSS stuff installed, I do have sound compiled as a module (Soundblaster AWE 64). Now /etc/modules.conf is configured as if it was expecting the commercial OSS, and /etc/modules.conf.orig is configured how I remembered configuring /etc/modules.conf to enable the kernel sound drivers. Since sound is working, the kernel must be using the /etc/modules.conf.orig (instead of /etc/modules.conf) but why? And where would that sort of thing be set? And shouldn't I be able to change /etc/modules.conf.orig to /etc/modules.conf and everything still work fine? I wonder if SuSEconfig made this change.
