There, configure the 'printer connection' you made with that windows box to convert ascii text from 'unix line endings' to 'MS-DOS line endings'. bye MH
Or as a further option is to pipe the output to todos. e.g. if using lpr : cat text.fil | todos | lpr or : cat text.fil | todos > text.fil.dos lpr text.fil.dos note : there is a fromdos command as well.

I reply to save those more qualified time, which can more usefully be spent developing SAMBA further.

Hi everybody! This will be this first time i'll configure Samba :-) I want to configure Samba as a PDC in my environment. The machine that will run as server is a Standard Mandrake 8.1 installation (sub-net ip 10.2.xxx.xxx) that will athenticate only WIN 98/NT/2k machines, mount network discs, etc... I read many documentions on Samba... but its a little obscure for me... I'll use Samba 2.2.3a thats already compiled and installed. Can any one tell me where to start configurating! Any help is welcome. regards -- Francisco Fialho Brazil
Type "man samba" :) Sorry, I work helpdesk and network administration so of course I'm hostile and bitter. -----Original Message----- From: Francisco Oliveira Fialho [mailto:francisco.fialho@liveware.com.br] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 5:40 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Newbie Hi everybody!

I'm still a relative newbie, so I'll tell ya what I did to learn. www.google.com has all your answers. It's easier than going through samba.org digging up stuff. I find out everything from how do join a domain, to how to activate winbind, to how to setup shares. The smb.conf file is a pretty good resource. The BIG BIG BIG problem with it, is that it's like 5+ years old and hasn't been updated. The "domain controller" thing was removed, and they never added in the stuff for winbind. So you have to scour everywhere trying to find stuff on what the heck winbind is first off, then find out how to activate it. Man pages are nice, but there are some very good pages on how to use it. Also, there are some reference guides on redhat.com for 7.2 that even if you don't use redhat, they are very helpful. Good luck! And this list is also very helpful, although I've found google's response is quicker. -----Original Message----- From: Francisco Oliveira Fialho [mailto:francisco.fialho@liveware.com.br] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 8:52 AM To: Blanchard, Michael Subject: Re: [Samba] Newbie No need to apologize, in matter of fact, thanks for the help!

I am running Linux Slakware and have samba version:2.0.5a smbd:running nmbd:running as well as swat... The problem is.. I recently changed my smbpasswd file using htpasswd and now I can not connect... Using swat there is a way to change the passwd but I now get this error... machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : code 131. The passwd for 'Leda500' has NOT been changed. = / Stumped...

Did you visit the correct location? Is swat in /etc/inetd.conf ? Did you read the samba-howto-collection? I don't think giving me access to your host would help: you'll have to do this yourself, so you know what is/was wrong. Pointing you to the right direction would be better.. plus it'll cost me more time, then if you'll do it yourself after you've read the right docs or have got the right tips.
