    Samba Users ??

    Hi, You just create a regular linux account and then use smbpasswd to set the samba password. Something like : # /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/bash -d /home/user1 -m user1 # passwd user1 # smbpasswd user1 Hope this helps

    How to check hostname and IP bindings in RH Linux 6.2?

    Hi, On redhat, the hostname is set in the file /etc/sysconfig/network as the parameter 'HOSTNAME=' . To display that file use the cat command : $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network Similarly, the IP address details for the first ethernet card are stored in the file...

    504 gateway error

    Hi, A 504 normally occurs when there is a proxy server involved and indicates that the proxy server experienced a timout contacting the actual site. Assuming there is no problem with the proxy (could be your ISP's proxy servers) then it normally means the site is down (or unreachable due to...

    Can't serve

    Hi, bionic6 - this is almost certainly because the public IP address is on the linksys router and that bit of kit has a web interface for admin purposes running on port 80. However, these kind of routers invariably have config options to 'passthrough' certain traffic (e.g. http) to an internal...

    Linux Firewall I'm Trying to get Running

    Hi, Sounds like either the nvram has invalid data that makes no sense to the bios or the bios itself is missing or corrupt. Taking out the battery for a few minutes should clear the settings in nvram but if it still doesn't respond after that and you can't get any joy flashing the bios then...

    Automounting CD ISO Files?

    Hi, If you want automounting you first need to install the 'autofs' rpm . That includes a sysv init script for the automount daemon that by default will automatically run at levels 3,4,5 . To activate it manually after install without changing runlevel / rebooting you can do as root : #...

    Printtool doesn''t work with python 2.2 (RH 7.1)

    Hi, You would also need the following rpms : pygtk pygnome pygtk-libglade In fact, for simplicity, its probably easiest to install all the rpms beginning with py as none of them are very big. However, if the import fails for 2.2 but works for 1.5 that would indicate that the libraries are in...

    Problems using ipforwarding

    Hi, The answer is undoubtedly IP masquerading. With linux, the IP masquerading is done with the firewalling code - i.e. using ipchains or possibly the newer iptables w.e.f. kernel 2.4.0 . IP masquerading is just a form of source nat (network address translation) where the linux box dynamically...

    open mail relay

    Hi, On redhat, they ship one rpm called 'imap' that has both imap and pop3 daemons and also the ssl versions thereof . When you install the rpm the services are all configured to run under xinted and the corresponding control files are all set as disabled. So, to activate them you just do the...

    Reverse Pointer

    Hi, They are pointed to via /etc/named.conf in exactly the same way as forward zone files. For example : zone "1.0.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "domain.com.rr.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; (That would be a reverse dns for the 10.0.1.0 subnet . ) So...

    setting up ipchains

    Hi, Your rules are a little confused - what you do is first choose the default you prefer, i.e. do you allow everything by default or deny everything ? The '-P' flag indicates these default policies - e.g. : /sbin/ipchains -P input DENY /sbin/ipchains -P output DENY /sbin/ipchains -P forward...

    setting up cron

    Hi, If its redhat, the cron mechanics are very easy. For a daily run you only need to put your script in the /etc/cron.daily directory. The main crontab calls every script in that directory using the 'run-parts' routine. The script itself would be indentical to one run directly from the command...

    open mail relay

    Hi, If you really want open house for some crazy reason it is possible to use the promiscuous_relay feature in your /etc/sendmail.mc - i.e. : FEATURE(`promiscuous_relay')dnl Then do the usual to update the .cf file.... # m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf Regards

    No Netscape 6 icon RH 7.2

    Hi, As far as I know, Redhat decided they would not ship any netscape 6.x rpms - only mozilla itself, i.e. the codebase used by netscape 6.x without all the commercial irritations. They still include Netscape 4.78 in RH 7.2 complete with desktop link, however. If you really want netscape 6.x...

    redhat 7.2: sendmail does not work with outgoing mail

    Hi, A 551 error message means 'user not local' but is also used by smtp servers in denying relaying. This is where the receiving smtp server is not convinced it is talking to the authentic smtp server for the origin domain of the email - for example if a dial-up linux user uses sendmail locally...

    REDHAT 7.2 DNS Server - Need Help Please

    Hi, Did you do the rndc setup ? Redhat 7.x startup scripts for BIND seem to assume use of rndc which is a secure control channel running on port 953 that uses crytographic keys for authenticity checking. What you have to do is generate a key with the command 'dnssec-keygen' and then copy the...

    External/Internal IP

    G'day, Firstly, I'm assuming that the linux box is multihomed, i.e. one interface on lan and one external. Also, from what you say, I take it that the other local machines have a pre-existing internet connection, i.e. independent of this linux box. This would therefore seem to be a routing or...

    How to assign a Dynamic IP from ISP?

    Hi, No - you don't need the dhcp server IP address - that would imply an already working IP stack. However, the client requests (broadcasts) would need to reach the dhcp server and that could be a problem if broadcasts are not being forwarded somewhere between that box and the dhcp server at...
