Well, it was the only computer on the network at the time. I'll have another go at some point. It was configured during the install, but now I'm feeling the bite of an install that holds your hand all the way and doesn't let you figure out exactly what you're doing and why. -- Love Ricardo, "Surely this monstrous hybrid comes not from a mother's womb but from an Ephialtes, an Incubus, or some other horrendous demon, as though spawned in a putrid and venemous fungus, son of Fauns and Nymphs, more Devil than man." -Athanasius Kircher, Mundus Subtarraneus, Amsterdam, 1665, pp.279-280 http://www.rscampos.net Get your @hellokitty.com FREE e-mail account at http://www.sanriotown.com Sanrio Town - Your Ultimate Community to meet Sanrio character & friends.

Who is looking after the list these days because now the list has a new home and the UEA list is shortly going to die we need to update the details held with the lug.org.uk website. Cheers, BJ

Cambridge Lug

I just dropped a mail directly to the Cambridge lug with a bit more detail on the Alug as the crossover mail was a bit lacking in references. Anyhow I have asked them on opinions/ideas for any crossovers between the lugs etc, but have not crossposted them. btw do we have a next meeting yet?

I don't think I remember seeing it done, but automatically mounting selected windows shares could be useful sometimes. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers? See http://www.luminas.co.uk/ for details.

XF86Config still thinks I am using the old card, but the picture is so clear and refresh rate fast that I can't see the need to alter it. There was some doubt on IRC last night if Red Lodge *was* actually booked for 28th oct, by the way - Simon? Jenny.

View MS shares from Linux
by brodders＠cwcom.net 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

Hi guys.. A Q re linking filesystems. Want to join & make filesystems transparent between 3 Windows98 boxes, a Linux server and a Linux workstation. Now I've used Samba & found it great - for servers. Clients can see the server f/s - but the server itself can't see the shares on the Windows boxes (not quite right - Samba has some command line utilities giving views onto the client). I want all the box GUIs to be able to see all the shares -so, how to get Linboxen GUIs to see the MS shares? Also, in such an environment how to connect the two Linux boxes? NFS? This is something I have not as yet done. This OK running alongside Samba? The Linux I'll be using will be either Mandrake 7.2, Corporate or 8.1 (still not 100% convinced about the new kernel). ?:^) brodders

I tried running some of the other configuring tools. Not tried anXious. Potato is the distro. I'm happy to edit XF86Config by hand if I knew what was needed - I'll post tonight if that is ok? Will I need to hunt down a copy of xserverS3, or does debian have it lurking somewhere? Thanks, Jenny.
