This post is to show you how to use Windows ADS accounts to login to your Linux server instead of manually making seperate Linux local accounts. The reason I did this is because some of our clients wanted to use sftp and the easiest way to manage all the different accounts for each client is creating OU's in Active Directory Services in Windows. This document will work with Windows 2000 or 2003 ADS.

 

Winbind is integrated with Samba and will require you to configure Samba and PAM for this operation to work succesfully. Lets get started :)

 

Step 1:

 

Lets backup your smb.conf file incase you make a mistake you can start over

Otherwise you can wait a few weeks and install it (80mb) via windows update

Hi,

 

I am fairly new to linux and i have just recently formatted my old windows pc to run Fedora Core 2 linux so i can run a server. I am a proficiant networker so i know what i am doing the physical/windows side of things but i can't get the fedora network card to work properly.

 

Linux Machine is a 3com 3C900 10 Mbp/s network card on a P3 650Mhz 256MB Ram running a recently downloaded copy of Fedora Core 2. It has successfully detected the card on OS install and installed the correct corresponding drivers. It is the device eth0.

 

Linux machine as windows. Was running windows 2000 (which partition has been deleted) and the NIC worked perfectly with statically configured settings in the same setup several days before the reformat.

 

XP Machine is connected to a home wireless network with access to the internet via router it also has a second NIC which is a US Robotics 10/100 That i know works.

 

The network i am trying to acomplish is too simple being just a crossosver cable between the two computers with at proxy running off XP machine so linux can access internet. When i put the crossover cable in the lights light on the back of the NIC's but neither computer can ping each other. i tried connecting the computers through my home routers switch (and the correct cables) but same senario. even when i tried to configure the linux box by the DHCP server on the router, that failed also. Returned error somthing like "Wasnt able to detect settings" but that only happened when set to DHCP.

 

After each setting change i restarted the entire computer (for good measure) and still no results.

 

When the computers were connected with a static configuration on the crossover i set up a packet sniffer on the xp machine and sent a ping. The results were that ARP wasn't able to resolve the IP. when i ran ping on the linux machine listening on the XP machine, the sniffer returned nothing.

 

 

Can this be fixed or do i need to buy a new Network card? If so can you recomend a card for use with linux (PCI only)

 

 

Thanks

 

James

Hi all.

 

Just had some fun and games with a mandrake 10 official installation on a new box.

 

P4 HT 2.8

MSI 865 pe neo2 mobo (sata/pata)

3com parallel tasking 10/100 nic

some rubbish ATI video card

legend 333mhz ddr ram

80gb seagate ata100 drive

 

After boot up, which took ages, the /var/log/messages was spewing out loads of repetetive garbage, as shown right down the bottom of this post

 

 

Aug 6 07:59:19 new kernel: Disabling IRQ #18

Aug 6 07:59:20 new kernel: irq 18: nobody cared!

 

Sometimes pointing the finger at APIC and USB but in fact this issue is directed at the IDE subsystem. to fix it on this board, go into your bios and in the ide configuration select 'legacy mode' instead of 'native mode'. I have no sata drives so i disabled that completely and made things pata only. Then things are all good! I want to let other people know about this because it's a sucky problem and according to google has made people shun mandrake. It's an easy fix so hopefully I have helped somebody else out so they won't end up like me, dicking with it for hours, tearing my hair out.

 

 

 

enjoy mandrake, it's really pretty :)

 

da!!as

 

 

here's what it'll say.
