Re: [SLE] dhcp client/masq- differences from Red Hat?
by purpleshirt＠hotmail.com 06 Jan '00

YES dhclient in SuSE 6.2 never got me lease. The simplest fix for this is to download dhclient version 3, uninstall package dhclient of the SuSE distribution and compile/install version 3. Then simply run command 'dhclient ethx' instead of using the YaST setup. The network device still needs to be turned on during boot(I gave it a local address setup which gets wiped out as soon as dhclient ethx is run). mk >From: Lenz Grimmer <grimmer(a)suse.de> >To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com >Subject: Re: [SLE] dhcp client/masq- differences from Red Hat? >Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2000 09:58:35 +0100 (MET) > > > So my questions are: > > (1) Does the dhcp client on Suse work any different than on Red Hat 5.2 > > (dhcpcd)?

[SLE] Floppy craziness
by novo＠uiuc.edu 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Hi, Once I reported this problem, thought it was gone, but it's back and I don't have a clue how to solve it. Here's the story: 1) Mount a dos formatted floppy, containing files 001.x 001.y 001.z 2) Unmount the floppy 3) Mount a dos formatted floppy, containing files 002.x, 002.y 002.z 4) Using ls or KDE's file manager I SEE files 001* -- that's the files that where in floppy 1. 5) More, I can't access them, I can't access the 002*, which are the ones physically in floppy 2. 6) If instead of 3), I mount an ext2 floppy I can see and operate the files that are contained in it. 7) Umount ext2 floppy and mount dos floppy #2, shows files of floppy #1, so I back to ground zero Here's additional info -- kernel messages and my fstab: ================================================================ Jan 6 09:49:37 friedman kernel: set_blocksize: b_count 12, dev fd(2,0), block 19!

[SLE] Hubs
by phthor＠isat.com 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

I am putting together a networking system. The help I have received from this group has been outstanding. I now need the advice of the group on the different brands of hubs. I would appreciate the groups opinions on the following brands of hubs. wisecom, IBM, netgear, hawking, asante, umax, linksys. The network cards I have obtained are 10mbps cards. Does the hub have to be a 10mbps or will the cards work with a 100mbps hub? I realize that 100mbps may be overkill, but if the price is right....

RE: [SLE] samba...
by psims＠lombard.co.uk 06 Jan '00

Samba has supported encrtypted passwords for a while, since V2, I think. Win95 (retail) & WfWG 3.1/3.11 have plain passwords by default Win95b (OSR2), Win98 and NT do encrypted passwords by default. Set Encypt Passwords = yes in smb.conf, or alternatively if you use swat to configure samba just select the option. I always do things the samba end, since you only need do it once. Every time you reinstall Win you will have to re-hack the registry ; ) Set your samba users up with smbpasswd -a <username> and everbody has a nice, more secure samba login.

[SLE] samba...
by ryagatich＠csn1.com 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

i am attempting to get samba running on my network at home, but am comming across the following problem: I am running samba on a SuSE 6.3 box (not really too important), A WINDOWS box on the network is able to detect that it is there, but can't access it. but, i can ping, finger, telnet, and ftp to the server (named: LINUX) but "network neighborhood" doesn't allow access to it. (for some reason it wants a password.) I have logged onto the WINDOWS box, as USERA and password as USERA (real names and passwords left out) so i figured i could get passed the password problem. NO. i entered in both the user password, and even ROOT password, but no success (yes i know that entering root passwords over SMB is not good because of text/plain type. If i am on the LINUX box, i can run: smbmount //windows/c /mnt and it would mount fine (if i entered the username's password that is logged in.) I can print fine to the printer, however the printer is located on the windows box so that was no problem. I ran the samba setup utility and it is set up for public, and announce as 95 with user something (as opposed to share something or server something). ryan <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>i am attempting to get samba running on my network at home, but am comming across the following problem:</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>I am running samba on a SuSE 6.3 box (not really too important),</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>A WINDOWS box on the network is able to detect that it is there, but can't access it. but, i can ping, finger, telnet, and ftp to the server (named: LINUX) but "network neighborhood" doesn't allow access to it.

When I try the stuff below and then run dhclient, I get the following error: ocket: Protocol not available - make sure CONFIG_PACKET (Packet socket) and CONFIG_FILTER (Socket Filtering) are enabled in your kernel configuration! exiting. Now, I know tcp/ip is enabled because I was previously connecting over ppp using a dial-up. I looked at the options in the make menuconfig menu and could not find the two variables. In any event, should Packet Sockets and Socket Filtering be enabled in the SuSE standard kernel? Or, if there a module I need?

Yes, there are at least two versions of the Viper 770, one TNT2 and the other TNT2 Ultra. There are apparently also sub-versions of each which vary in additional features since the manual shows things that do not exist on my board.
