similar to: samba as non-root

When I run configure on HP-UX11.0, it aborts with an error saying "can't find test code" What is the problem? Thanks in advance __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Free email you can access from anywhere! http://mail.yahoo.com/

Hi, Most (if not all) IP phones support provisioning through DHCP/TFTP. The trouble is some phones seem to require to store their config files in TFTP root directory. This makes this TFTP root directory a bit messy. What are the best practices or tricks to manage this TFTP root directory ? I was thinking of either : 1. building a dedicated source TFTP tree in which files are cleanly organized

Tom Syroid was kind enough to answer my first question. I had some really weird errors and he told me to uninstall the samba that I had compiled on my own and reinstall the samba.tgz that came with slackware 7.1 which is what I am running. I did so, and the weird errors no longer occur. Instead when I try: root@vader82:/# smbclient -L localhost added interface ip=192.168.0.1

Does anyone know of a way to rate limit ssh connections from an IP address ? We are starting to see more and more brute force attempts to guess simple passwords "/usr/sbin/inetd -wWl -C 10" is nice for slowing down attempts to services launched via inetd. Is there an equiv method for doing this to sshd? Running from inetd has some issues supposedly. ---Mike

Hi. I'm getting messages to the effect: Inetd: /usr/local/samba/lib/nmbd: Hangup Last messages repeat 319 times I start samba from inetd. Should I be starting it as a daemon or starting it in init.d? If starting it as a daemon in in init.d, does someone have a script that can let me use? I'm running samba on an a Sun E450, with Solaris 2.7. Thanks. grant

Hello everyone, I am using pxelinux to boot kernel from network, which goes ok. But when root must be mounted from NFS, I get the following code: Looking up port 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1 RPC: sendmsg returned error 22 portmap: RPC call returned error 22 ROOT-NFS: unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.1 RPC: sendmsg returned error

Hi. I don''t know if this one is known, but I can''t recall seeing anything about it. If it is old news I apologize. I discovered a bug in the inetd that comes with NetKit-B-0-08 and older. If a single SYN is sent to port 13 of the server, inetd will die of Broken Pipe: write(3, "Sun Jan 12 21:50:35 1997\r\n", 26) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe) --- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) ---

I've installed the openss* rpm's from metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/libc6/i386 on a redhat 6.2 system. sshd is running but refuses all connections from all hosts including localhost.

Hi, I have used the truss command as directed. I have attached both the driver output and the last few sections of truss output leading to the hang. Both outputs end at the CTRL+C i pressed when i was forced to end the processes. Hope this is helpful. Please bear with me if i didn't run it with the right options etc - as I mentioned, I'm a little new to Solaris. Regards, Richard On

I moved an entire RH 6.2 server from one CPU to a new one using a tape backup/restore. Everything from the old server is working on the new server, but when SysV starts up smb, the nmbd daemon (2.0.6) exits with an error: create_subnets: No local interfaces! eth0 has already started according to the logs and console. Any ideas? Thanks. ______________________ Greg Kelley, IT Director SSA, EAA,

Hi, For no particular reason, my Samba service didn't start yesterday, when I went to start it by going in the /usr/local/samba/sbin and then typing SMBD I got an error "permission denied" and something about the port 139 (sorry I don't have the whole error message) No changes were made on the box. I started looking over the web and I found an something out something to

Hello, I'm running my rsynce server on Win2k3 Server. One client under Linux and another on Win2k3 Server. The problem is not really OS related though. My Server 2k3 client command is: C:\Progra~1\cwRsync\bin\rsync -rtv --ignore-errors --stats --delete --delete-during --delete-excluded --link-dest=/cygdrive/d/previous/c/backup.1 --files-from=files-from.txt --exclude-from=exclude-from.txt

Hi all, I use Samba (nmbd) for WINS serving round here. Any one know how to set up two WINS servers (on different machines for resilience) using Samba? Also, whislt I'm on the subject. Suppose I have a machine with multiple (physical) interfaces, each with a unique IP address. When it ('s nmbd) registers with teh WINS server does it register all its addresses? Moreover, when the

Hi, I've been running Samba successfully for several years. I tried running Samba on a new computer under Redhat 7.3 using a test smb.conf where testparm shows no errors. Running "smb start" runs properly i.e. starts smbd and nmbd, but after a few seconds both programs stop running (running "ps aux| grep smbd" shows job running, running "ps...." again shows

I just had a remote root break-in on my machine (x86 running Red Hat Linux 5.0 with all the updates except for kernel-2.0.32-3) this morning at 06:03:28 EDT. From what I''ve been able to gather, it appears to have been through snmpd, which I missed when I was weeding out unused daemons. Sorry for the feeble message, but all I know (or at least strongly suspect) is that there''s a

Hello, I'd like to see if I can get some clarification on what is the preferred method of starting the Samba daemons (note that we are using Solaris, not Linux). This is something that I'm not able to find any explanation of in any of the Samba 3 documentation that I've looked at so far. In Samba 2 I would have the Samba daemons started up by the following in my /etc/inetd.conf:

hi, masters! i have installed RedHat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.5. i did everything step by step: ./configure , make , make install , etc... i cannot start 'smbd' and 'nmbd' daemons. i try to run them from the command line or from inetd and i get something like: "there is no such command" all Samba commands are in the same hierarchy /usr/local/samba/bin. i can run other

Is it better to start Samba using in initd, or to use the script, much like the one provided by SuSE. ?? so far I have used the script, but I don't like the fact of having to start samba manually. I would much prefer to see it run as a service. just to confirm all it really involves is starting smbd and nmbd Rowan [TSS] Gerber Scientific Products http://www.gspinc.com

Hello people.... Ok I am having a strange problem with samba and more specificaly the nmb daemon. I run smbd and nmbd as daemons from the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf so they run from inetd. But when I check the status with SWAT it tells me that nmbd is not running. So I have to issue the command nmbd -D manualy. Why? my setting on /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf are exactly like the
