problem compiling kernel 2.6 on RedHat

No, I don't mind you asking about SAMBA and XP's permissons... It is really not that complicated (as long as there is no domain things involved)... Basically all you need is to have pretty well defined your users, in the XP machine and the Linux machine, then you can set the perimissons on the shares to user, an you are set!

Cool, mate~

No domains?
Hmm, I am using domain logons...

The weird thing is my Samba admin group does not have adminstrator's priviledges in XP... I tried inserting there 2 lines in my smb.conf:
* admin users = @admin
* domain admin group = @admin
But I still cannot delete files, install programs or change user accounts...

The only way i can gain admin status is by logging into the local machine then manually add my samba admin user via Control Panel -> User Accounts.
I was thinking that user permissions and accesses are set when a user logs into a domain, am I right?

Well I solved the problem by having the accounts for the users who will use the shares in both systems. The domains thing is doable, but I never understood how to implement those (try installing SWAT and reading the help files on domains, you may get what I did not)... Needless to say that if a user in the XP machine has admin priviledges, then you will be able to create, move and delete files in the XP system. Note that the [linux] user in question must have an account in the XP machine.

Yeah, thats what I did... I put my samba admin in both machines and left all the other normal users as it is

If thats the case, pretty much done with this part~

I want to use XP's net send so that all the XP clients can pass important messages around, the weird thing is it doesn't always works... I wonder why, at first I thought it was due to the machine accounts. So I tried adding the machines on-the-fly and manually using smbpasswd -a -m but still cannot get it to work...

Unfortunately I am not sure what I did last time that made it work...

I am trying to install that GNomba program you recommended, this is what I got:

Code:

./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GTk since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit gtk-config script: /usr/sbin/gtk-config
configure: error: Cannot find GTK: Is gtk-config in path?

I tried searching for the file but failed... I found gtk-demo, gtkhtml-properties-capplet and gtk-query-immodules-2.0 in /usr/bin

I tried to install it from RH9's 1st CD but I was told that that package in already installed~

Thetargos · 06-06-2004, 03:51 AM

That's strange... there should an RPM package at Samba's site...

kenji1903 · 06-06-2004, 04:09 AM

The RPMS site is down, so only the tar.gz file is available now

Argh...
Umm... any tips on the net send thing a post before GNomba?

Thetargos · 06-06-2004, 04:14 AM

The error while building GNomba looks like if you do not have the GTK+ development packages installed (gtk2-devel)... check those...

kenji1903 · 06-06-2004, 07:06 AM

Checked all those, its working right now! Cheers~!

But... what is it used for?

I can't find any docs on the program, any special features that I should pay more attention to?

Also, when I double-click on any of the machines in the domain, i am asked for the username and password... can't seem to get into any of them, tried all the username and passwords that is available in smbpasswd...

Thetargos · 06-06-2004, 05:06 PM

The user name and password pair should have a corresponding Windows account, and at the same time they must be validated in smbconf.

kenji1903 · 06-06-2004, 06:58 PM

Oh... But if I am using roaming profiles and have 50 users, then I should have a minimum of 50 user accounts in Windows as well?

How do I validate that in smb.conf?

Thetargos · 06-06-2004, 07:03 PM

I think that using WINS groups may be more reliable in that situation, but I have no experience with that... Maybe you could search for that either in the man pages or in the samba's doc page: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/

kenji1903 · 06-10-2004, 04:26 AM

Thanks for the WINS hint

I'm having kernel problems again, trying 2.6.0 now...
I got the RAID thing to work at least, going to try the ATI drivers and ALSA sound later~
First things first, I saw some devpts error during boot time... also my console is always blank, I have upgraded ncurses and rpm, also got all the cryptographic suppurt compiled as modules~

What do you reckon the problem is?
Also, is there an easier way to patch the kernel? I always have to hit Y and Enter...

What does this message mean?
All of your loopback devices are in use

kenji1903 · 06-12-2004, 08:43 PM

Got the loopback devices to work!
I used:
/etc/modprobe loop

I am using menuconfig to configure my kernel and I notice there option differences when I load the config files from different sources to my .config, why is that?

Also, my IPTables work fine in kernel 2.6.0 but i get errors in my original kernel~

Thanks!

Hi, mate~

Juat wondering why my alsamixer only works occasionally, I got it to run once but after that no image appears on the screen... the console then hangs!
I have upgraded my ncurses as well...

Also, this is my output for cdrecord -scanbus:
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright.....
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
I ran it as root...
