Is there any way to set up a backup WINS specification in dhcp/Win NT/Samba? Having my WINS server go down the last few days made this a little more desirable, especially since when I noticed the service was dead, I wasn't able to reboot it for a few hours due to usage.

I am appending some documentation by my colleague Bill Eldridge that was actually written for our dial-up service, but should work for you purposes as well. A couple notes. 1.)The user must exist in /etc/passwd on the Samba machine or login to the Samba box will fail. 2.)In the example, we don't set up home directories for the users, we are using it for dial in and they usually want to

For some reason, my Linux machines took over the net yesterday, telling everyone they were PDC & BDC, even though I had an NT machine listed as PDC in both their smb.confs, had no participation in domain browsing, etc., etc. The only thing I had running was Net Logons (which I thought was needed to have a Samba dial-in allow domain logins, but after I turned it off, I realize I'm wrong.

I'm running Samba 18p7, with pppd & smb_pam to let me use NT passwords for my Unix dial-in accounts. Login goes fine, internet IP stuff works fine (like e-mail & Web), I can mount shares by name, but Windows Explorer browsing comes and goes. Even when it's working, browsing only starts up about 20 seconds or so after logon - before that I get "unable to browse network"

I'm trying to figure out an intelligent way to install apps on the network server, and be able to install once and have all the clients use this. However, it seems like most installations modify the registry and seem to demand a client-by-client installation. Am I missing something on this? Can someone provide me some hints or references to help this? (And is anyone thinking about a SMS/ZEN

Hi, I gave a talk at last month's DCLUG[0] meeting on icecast and how we used it at LAC2005[1]. I was trying to stream the talk live while also trying to give the talk and host the meeting. I had the streaming working fine, but then hosed my laptop trying to get the video output to cooperate with the projector. I guess that should teach me to not try to stream and present using the same

Does anyone here have experience with an ATM connection from their ISP running into a linux based router? We have a DS3 circuit for which we we thought we could use an SBE wanpci-1t3 card. The isp verified the card would work with their network, but apparantly didn''t cross check the particular circuit they were providing us. Is it possible to do the IP packet <-> ATM cell

While building a package, I see the following: * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE cheat.fit: no visible binding for global variable 'Zobs' plot.jml: no visible binding for global variable 'Var1' I see the issue has come up before, but I'm having a hard time discerning how solutions applied elsewhere would apply here. The entire code for both functions is below,

I think this has been addressed a few times, but without quite satisfactory results. I have a private subnet behind an NAT proxy server (IPMASQ), and a public subnet on the other side with the NT PDC on the public. (Using both NetBEUI & TCP/IP). The PDC will change later, but currently I'm trying to find out how this all works before I do that. I'm trying to make a client machine on

I just finished going through the time sync problem, and here's the info I used: To configure ESX 2.5.x Server: http://tinyurl.com/ycpcfv <http://tinyurl.com/ycpcfv> To configure Windows Guest OS: http://tinyurl.com/yctxrr <http://tinyurl.com/yctxrr> To configure CentOS w/o X installed, you still need to install the vmware tools. Edit the vmx file for your guest,

Not sure yet what or where the problems are but having just done a jum update on my HP laptop (nw8240) and my IBM desktop from 2.6.9.42.0.2.EL the laptop is locking up during boot sequence and the desktop when running VMware Workstation seems to take all CPU and makes strange noises from the loudspeaker. Using grub to fall back to last kernel all is ok again !!. Ian -------------- next part

I posted this to the group last year, but the problem was not fixed so I will give it another try. I use 3Com's PXE server to deploy the Fedora Core boot disk to my clients for an ftp install. I also have ghost boot disks, bios update disks, and a video bios repair disk all using the 3Com PXE server. The problem is when I try to boot a Linux kernel. With all versions of syslinux since 1.72

I use 3Com's PXE server to deploy the RedHat Linux network boot disk for an ftp install. I have done this for RedHat 7.2 and 7.3. I followed the same procedure I used for the other RedHat boot disks using the RedHat 8.0 boot disk and syslinux didn't work. Syslinux boots the system, gets the boot: prompt and dies. The error message is can not find ramdisk image and then cannot find

Hi, I have successfuly use PXElinux to boot a diskless workstations from two 3COM NICs. I had to do as you suggested and upgrade them both to 3COM's MBA v4.30. After, flashing the bootproms - no problems at all! 3c905B-TX 3c905C-TX just for your info: The B card has a optional bootprom chip that you must purchaced and installed on the NIC The C card come with the bootprom as part of the
