How to troubleshoot for user authentication on samba share?

Hi everyone,

The title of the question pretty much describes it.

I am writing a commercial book and would like to know whether it is OK (as far as licensing is concerned) to include in an appendix the man pages of programs used in the book (none of which is proprietary).

The book itself will NOT be released under the GPL, but assuming I can include the man pages I understand I will need to add a copy of the GPL to the appendix as well.

Any clarification will be more than appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,


I have a problem when install package libnss-ldap

Code:

Apt-get install libnss-ldapd
Reading of the lists of packages... Fact
Construction of the tree of dependences(outbuildings)
Reading of the information of state... Fact
Certain packages cannot be installed(settled). This can mean that you asked for the impossible, either, if you use the unstable distribution(casting), which certain packages do not still have
Created or did not go out of Incoming.
The following information should help you to solve the situation:

The following packages contain unsatisfied dependences(outbuildings):
Libglib2.0-0: recommend: xdg-user-dirs but will not be installed(settled)
Break-in(Breakage): glib-networking (in 2.33.12) but 2.32.3-1 must be installed(settled)
E: Error, pkgProblem:: Solves generated breaks, what was able to be caused by packages that must be kept(guarded) as is.

It return me this.

Can you help me please

Hi all

I am trying out this dhcp server setup on opensuse 12.1 but it does not seem to be working.

I have eth0 configured to be 192.168.10.1 in a /24 network.

I want to hand out the rest of the address in the same subnet as dhcp addresses. (So everything from 10.2 to 10.255). The default gw is defined as 192.168.10.1, and routing table looks correct. and I only have eth0.


When I start the dhcp, and connect it to the client machine, I see nothing on the wireshark trace. no DHCP discovery or ack messages. And the client machine just keeps trying boot from the network via the network interface. I know I got the right interface (there were blinky options in the bios that lets you identify the correct interface) and the cable is not a problem. (If the cable were a problem the client boot message would say "media fault ... please check media...") instead.

Here is my dhcpd.conf file. I went through man dhcpd already, and cleaned out everything that I apparently don't need. (The original file was copied from a more complicated setup that had multiple subnets and dhcp relays.)

Code:

###################simplfied 
linux-kzy1:/var/lib/dhcp/db # cat /etc/dhcpd.conf
authoritative;

ddns-update-style none;
ddns-updates off;

#Information about the host
subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  max-lease-time 600;
  default-lease-time 600;
  range 192.168.10.2 192.168.10.255;
}

group esx_gep{
  filename "pxelinux.0";
  next-server 192.168.10.1; 
  host testserver1 {hardware ethernet a0:d3:c1:f7:f2:64;}
}

this is what /var/log/message and /var/log/rc.dhcpd.log says:

not very interesting stuff or useful, but I found some other messages that is very interesting:

Code:

linux-kzy1:/home/test/Documents #

Which ties into my first question: dhcp no free lease: I googled a bit, I found a post from a guy on ubuntu who has the same error message and the suggested course of action is to change ownership of the lease file to dhcpd and give it 777 for permission. Which I thought is weird, because the lease file is automatically created by the dhcpd itself, so it really shouldn't be a permission issue shouldn't it? (Anyway, tried that didn't do a thing.) right now it is owned by root/root and has this permission: -rw-r--r--.

2nd question: once the client gets a reply from my dhcp server saying no free lease, does it remember this dhcp server as no free lease and does it persist throughout reboots? Because I tried rebooting the client a number of times and I don't see anything on the wireshark at all. You will notice the time stamp on the last "no free lease" message is not as late as the other messages from the var/log/messages or rc.dhcpd.log and I rebooted the client and the dhcp plenty of times since 17:01:38.



Thanks for all your help in advance everyone.

I am a student at local comm college. the course I am taking is ITN 171 Unix. The book for the class is Guide to UNIX Using Linux...by Micahel Palmer, ISBN-13: 978-1-4188-3723-5. it comes with a CD to install Fedora onto my laptop. My laptop does not jhave a cd/dvd drive, but I borrowed my brothers LG Slim portable DVD writer- Model# SP60NB50. There is a file on my computer now under devices and drives: DVD Drive(D Fedora-Live-WS-x...if I click on it to open up, i see folders: EFI, isoliniux and LIVEOS...
there is nothing that to install...? I am confused and need to have Fedora and Knoppix to do my course work..any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

I'm learning about Linux, started yesterday. I have a question which didn't clear from the book and Google. The question is what is the difference between ./ and / in terminal? I'm asking this because when i give command for example - ./home/yogesh/Desktop/Books it is showing bash: ./home/yogesh/Desktop : No such file or directory but on removing the dot it's showing /home/yogesh/Desktop/Books: Is a directory.
Again on giving command like /Desktop it showing /Desktop :No such file or directory but on adding dot before / it is giving ./Desktop: is a directory.
What is the difference between ./ and / ?
I'm sorry if i asked something foolish but I have to know it anyway. Thankyou in advance and sorry for my bad English.

Hi, this is my first question here in LinuxQuestion.org =)

I couldn´t find a tutorial or first steps for the AWK language in this forum. Is there any course or book you guys recommend ?

Thanks

Hi all! Just joined. First post.

Looking around Amazon.com I see that there are a lot of books out there. I was wondering if there were a small number that were generally considered to be the best for a newbie to learn Ubuntu and the command line.

I am a Windows refugee having bought a clean machine from System76 in May 2014 with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed. I got my first computer back in the early 90's and actually liked DOS! Kind of full circle I guess.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!
