I am still struggling to get one of my samba servers to work with the new security on RH 7.3. Any help is appreciated. The "not fully working computer" serves as a print server for the Window computers. You can log into it, but you cannot see it from the Network Neighborhood. On some versions of Windows you cannot find it through the "Find Computers" programs. The system with a clean install from RH cds is having network problems; the system which I upgraded from RH cds is fine. Both have been upgraded to kernel-2.4.18-4. I have stopped the ipchains services on the cleanly installed computer. The samba configuration file and passwd were restored from backups onto the new system. /sbin/ipchains-save on the upgraded computer says "'/proc/net/ip_fwchains' does not exist. (Does this kernel support IP firewall Chains?" The cleanly installed computer has three empty files in /proc/net which are missing in the updated version; namely, ip_fwnames, ip_fwchains, ip_masquerade. In the following lists, I am just enumerating the differences in the output. not fully working computer fully working computer nmap 53 domain (this is a nameserver) 80 httpd (this is a web server) 616 unknown 617 unknown 845 unknown 865 unknown 901 samba-swat 1025 listen lsmod binfmt_misc sg ipchains loop cs4243 vfat ad1848 nls_iso8859-1 uart401 nls_cp437 sound msdos fat sr_mod i810_audio ac97_codec nfs ide_scsi smbclient -L server (with return when requested for passwd - running as root - root does not have smbpassword Anonymous login successful Anonymous login successful Domain [Chemistry] OS=[Unix] ..
