...in the FAQ is if you have specified machines in "hosts allow" and forgotten to include the localhost.

...ian system. I've noticed around the place that samba can be configured to include support for shadow passwords but haven't been able to find any detailed description of this. Does anybody know how this should be done? thanks Andrew ------------------------------------------------- Andrew McRobert LLB B.Sc(Comp.

Does anyone have any tips on getting hooked up to a local network from win95 client through a linux ppp server? I'm close to getting it working. I've logged on remotely and can ping or telnet to the linux ppp server but I cannot ping to any other machine on the local network. Do I need to add some route commands? This is what my routing table looks like after my ppp connection is started.

I've been introducing a local company to the benefits of Linux and Samba, things have been going really well until I tried to provide some file sharing for 3 people on the Lan. Setup: RH 5.0 on a P5-133 running a small intranet with DHCP, file server, and local / remote mail services Samba 1.9.18 (not sure of patch level) I setup a directory accessible by only 3 users and copied a 2.4Meg

could someone please give me the lowdown on samba and passwords? i keep trying to connect to any share name on either of my unix boxes, either from each other or from a win95 machine... every time i can't get anything due to passwords... does samba have it's own password file? from trial-and-error it seems that it doesn't read out your /etc/passwd file for user's home dirs...

Is there a file I can place in the netlogin directory (or anywhere else for that matter) that will represnet a logon script? I want to have my workstations auto-mount particular shares on the samba server, without the user having to make the mount. This way when I add new users, the shares are automatically present. If there is a script I can place somwehre, please tell me what it's name is
