I never thought it would happen to me, but it did... I have read threads about slow copies from WinXX to Linux/Samba on the list in the past, but I don't recall a concise answer regarding what the cause was. THE PROBLEM: Trying to copy an 8 meg file from Win95 to my Linux/Samba box (named "Nemesis" - for good reason), the transfer speed slows to a crawl. The Win95 copy dialog box

I am having a terrible time getting the hardware clock, system clock and the time served to my winXX boxes to jive on my Mandrake 7.2/Samba 2.07 machine. I have my clock file, timezone and localtime links set to America/Chicago. No matter what I do, if I use UTC for my hwclock, my system clock on the Linux box is fine, but samba passes system time +6 hours to the windows clients. (Yes I know CST =

My goal is to make VPN access to our Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7.0) so that users can access there home shares from Windows clients. I have read the instructions at http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/pppd/final-report.pdf, but I can't make it work.

Hello all! I configured samba as a time server and created login scripts for each of my users to update their system time at logon. Everything worked great! Then I decided it would be great to syncronize the server time with an ntp server so the server would always have an accurate clock. I installed "xntp3-5_93-8mdk_i586.rpm" on my Mandrake 7.2/Samba 2.07 box and updated the system

Cross-posting scares me, but... Have you looked at the latest RPMs for SuSE, from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/samba/ ?

Hi I've been using linux to give VPN access to my corporate LAN using the following software: Centos 5.2 x86 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5xen pptpd (poptop) 1.3.4 ppp 2.4.4 The Centos server has directly connected the Internet Router, on one interface (eth1) and the LAN on another (eth0) and it works as the firewall/VPN server of my LAN.

Yes your chap-secret file could be the issue, it should look like this: Your_usrname * Your_password * That?s it :) But if that don?t work include this file to the list: /etc/ppp/pptpd-options It should look something like this: ipparam PoPToP lock mtu 1490 mru 1490 ms-wins 172.x.y.1 ms-dns 172.x.y.1 multilink proxyarp auth +chapms-v2 ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote lcp-echo-failure 30

This isn''t a 100% Shorewall topic but since this list relates to internet security and it''s issues I thought this might be a good place to start.

Thanks to Shorewall the firewall as tested is secure and the VPN is working fine with MPPE-128 Encryption.
