samba and w2k

I am a newbie to rh.

I have a linksys router providing DHCP functions.

I have 3 w2k boxes and I want to use the RH8 box for file and print sharing,
and later learn about DNS and HTTP servers.

I have installed rh8 four times (server install) and learned more each time.

Used webmin once, but it is flexible enough to allow you to really disable
your system.

I have a clean install of rh8 and samba.
I have read the chapter 16 in the customization guide several times (during
installs).
I have completed the configuration changes for passwords in section 16.2.1
I have reviewed the samba.conf to allow access to files and printers.

IP addresses

Router - 192.168.1.1
	W2K - 1	198.162.1.2
	W2K - 2	198.162.1.3
	W2K - 3	198.162.1.4
	RH8		198.162.1.5

In section 16.3 is says to use Network Neighborhood or Windows Explorer to
connect.

Network Neighborhood does not show the RH8 connection, but does show all the
W2K connections.

I can ping 198.162.1.5 (RH8) from the W2K side and I get a good response.

On the RH8 box the ifconfig shows eth0 at 192.168.1.5 and lo at 127.0.0.1
and I can ping all W2K boxes.

But I cannot connect or map files to the RH8 box and it does not see the
printer.

The printer is on the RH8 box.  Is it better to add it as a local printer or
an SMB printer?

The more I read the more I get confused.  Do I need to install NFS, openSSH,
or even HTTP?

Thank you,

Kent

I've used Loadlin to boot Redhat Linux since version 5.2.  I just
installed RH 8.0, and when I run Loadlin at boot time it won't decompress
the
"vmlinuz" file, and gives me an "error no. 1" message.  I'm using kernal
2.4.18-19.8.0.  Any ideas on what to try?  Thanks in advance.

I have a Thinkpad running a 3Com 3cxem556b (10B-T/Modem) card, but it
was set up long before neat.  My modules.conf has "alias eth0
3c589_cs".

If you don't know what module is being loaded, run (as root) "lsmod".
If it's not obvious which one it is, unplug the card (which should
unload the driver), and run lsmod again, and compare the two lists.
Then put that module name as an alias for eth0 in /etc/modules.conf.

When you plug the card in, if you don't get two beeps indicating
successful module loading, run "service pcmcia restart".  Then you may
also have to restart "network".

Oh.  Sorry.  I thought you were moving to boot from hard disk.

While booted to the old kernel, you can make a boot floppy for the new
one with mkbootdisk.  See "man mkbootdisk" for more info.  On the
command line you specify the kernel version.

Also, lilo can be installed on a floppy disk.  Have a look at "man
lilo.conf" for an example, but modify the boot line to read

 boot = /dev/fd0

You can (and perhaps should) have a stanza for your old kernel and one
for the new, though I guess you already have a boot floppy for the old
one.

Well, I can think of _one_ thing, but your idea's a not-too-distant

But wait, there's more!  Don't forget that you can use compression as
well, feel free to experiment with the myriad of options available in
the command line!

In earlier versions and I'm not certain that this has
been extended to RH 8.0, you needed an alternative to
LILO if you can not install the Linux kernel to
where the BIOS can reach it or you do not wish to use
it. The BIOS may not be able to reach it for one of
the following reasons:

  The kernel is above the 1023 cylinder of the hard
drive.
  The kernel is on a drive the BIOS cannot boot to
(not on Primary IDE or SCSI
  chain).
  Other esoteric kernel/BIOS problems.

You have hardware that can only be initialized in DOS
(Plug and Play, etc). You will probably need to use
the Loadlin boot loader that is provided on the
CD-ROM in \dosutils and will need to copy this
directory over to your DOS (Windows) hard
drive partition and edit the autoboot.bat file to
point to its new position and
removing the initrd= line. If your system is a SCSI
system, you will need to go into rescue mode and copy
the /mnt/boot/initrd.img from the hard drive over to
the DOS partition, and use it for booting. :)

First, don't activate eth1.  It is used by pppoe and pppoe will activate
it.  Second, download and install shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net).=20
The docs on the site include directions for setting up your PC to be a
gateway.  Follow these directions using ppp0 as your internet interface
and eth0 as your internal interface.  If you run into problems, I can
send you my shorewall configuration files to get you started.

Yes. If you installed windows first with the drive as slave then
installed linux then lilo/grub should be able to boot into either
without modification. If you installed windows with that drive as the
master, then put another drive in as master (to load linux onto) and
moved the windows drive from master to slave then linux needs to be
informed that it has been swapped over.  This is my /etc/lilo.conf file
from such a computer (Win NT on hdb1 and vfat32 drive C: not ntfs, and
RH 7.3 on  hda1):

prompt
timeout=50
default=winnt
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
    label=linux
    initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
    read-only
    root=/dev/hda1

other=/dev/hdb1
    optional
    label=winnt
    map-drive=0x80
    to = 0x81
    map-drive=0x81
    to = 0x80

Its the map-drive parts you would need. Lilo can be put anywhere, my
favourite when I don't want to modify the mbr of a master drive with
windows is to put it onto a floppy. To do this, change the
"boot=/dev/hda" line to "boot=/dev/fd0". When you run lilo, put a bland
floppy in the drive.

I've not used grub, but possibly it needs to be told of the drive swap.

Yes. If mounting it automatically at boot time, put "ro" into the 4th
field of the line in /etc/fstab mouting that drive. If you look at your
file, there is almost certainly already a "ro" option in the line for
your cdrom as an example. If mounting with the "mount" command add "-o
ro", as in:
"mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/hdb2 /mnt/win"

No, see above

Hope this helps
