Fedora Networking :: Set Up Samba Using Command Line Terminal / Network Does Not Work
Nov 29, 2010
I set up Samba using command line terminal, and my network does not work. I have Samba username and keyring passwords all set, then I go to gui system-config-samba, and my samba user profile password is incorrect. In the past, I have used a 10 letter password, however, every time I boot the computer, I have to go back in and re-enter the password.I wonder if samba is truncating the password because it only accepts an 8 character password? I have deleted the user, and added a new username, and it is still doing it.
If I go into the gui and re-enter the password, usually I can get the network back up with my windows machine. All of the parameters are correct, I use the network to transfer files from my Windows to my Fedora drive all of the time when it works.

I am fairly familiar with Linux but had never ventured into Wlan settings / options / too much. I have compatible card (aetheros) and when running - iwlist wlan0 scanning - I get plenty networks showing up - meaning the card works. When I installed distro which is last night (before I ran update), I had that little bars menu at the top of the screen that showed available networks once clicked upon. Since I like to modify and make my settings better - I removed that little AT&T like bar, and now rebooted after update to find that I can not see available networks unless I use iwliset wlan0 scanning.... .#$*&)@&#(&%# - need I say more.
Two questions - how do you connect to the wireless network via command line? What is that vertical bars GUI tool called so I can find it and run it again? Is there (for the love of god) alternative to system-config-network GUI managment tool for wlan?

I want to use samba for file sharing like on a Windows home network. Actually they are all Linux machines but nfs is too complicated. On my host machine I installed samba and system-config-samba. I created a new share for /home, check marked writable and visible and put access to everybody. For preferences-->server settings--> security the "authentication mode" is set to user, encrypt passwords is no, and guest account is no guest account. Under preferences-->samba users I added myself as a user with the same windows user name as my Linux user name and the same password.
My client is a virtualbox fedora (used for testing purposes but actual clients will be real computers on my home network). I entered the address smb://192.168.1.184. When asked for the user name and password I put my regular user name and password since that was what I set in samba users. However, the password dialog keeps coming up and won't let met into my own computer. If I quit it says something like access is denied. How can I get my home network back? I liked this feature when my home computers ran XP but I switched them to Fedora 12.

First off I would like to install a GUI for samba. After that I want to set up my network so that router stays as the server for the network I have four windows computers already hanging off of the router. This machine which has Slackware on it is hardwired, directly connected, to the router via cat-5 cables. I have samba installed already and I just need to configure it correctly.

I frequently ssh into machines to do work. In some cases, the machine is headless so there is no option to log in.Under Debian and on older versions of Ubuntu I would pull out the avahi and network-manager packages and manually configure the interfaces file to my liking and be done with it.However, I would now like to learn how to work within avahi/network manager. So, is there a doc somewhere explaining how to work with modern Ubuntu networking at the command-line level? Ie: Setting up a wireless connection, setting static/dynamic IPs, etc?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Lucid Lynx and I'm having problems implementing changes to interfaces.I have made changes to my interfaces via the GUI but when I open a terminal window and so a ifconfig I find that nothing has changed. I've opened an editor and looked at etc/network/interfaces but changes made with the GUI never make it to the config file.Does the networking GUI result in changes to the etc/network/interfaces file.

I'm hoping this is the right category. Is there a terminal command to display what network you're currently connected to?
Example:
My home network's name is (in this example) "home".When connected to it, I want a command that, when run, would give me the output 'home'. Does such a command exist?

I hosed my installation of F14 by installing from some "experimental" repositories. Now I only get XDM at startup and an xterm on login. This would be fine if I could use yum to do some updates, but I have no network connection. I have been over the man page for nmcli dozens of times and none of the options there seems to start anything. I have also tried starting dhclient or using:
ifconfig eth0 up Nothing. So, is there a reliable way I can just connect to the network? This shouldn't be so hard.

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

I am trying to do a command line installation.Finished the installation and my wireless card wasnt working.Did a "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" and got it working.But for some reason wireless-tools is not installed thus I dont have iwconfig, iwlist, etc.The wireless works and connects fine off a liveUSB.So I am going to give info from this liveUSB run and maybe someone can suggest how I can set the right settings on the Command Line Installation I presume in the etc/network/interfaces.

I just recently installed ubuntu server. I want to be able to install packages and such but can't until I connect to Internet. I tried wifi but couldn't figure out how (I'm a n00b) but now I have ethernet and can't figure out how to make it work. So my question is, how do I connect to my Ethernet with ubuntu server, I could if I had graphical, but I can't get that until I have Internet. I didn't configure network during install, so how do I do it now?

I have a CentOS 5.5 server running currently with a Netgear gigabit ethernet card and for wifi I have a wi-fi card with the chipset: RT2860.Now I have gotten the ethernet card and wi-fi card working but my main question is: How do you bridge the connection between the ethernet card and the wi-fi card to create a wireless network with a hidden ESSID if possible and WPA encryption? (So the server basically acts as a wireless router as well as doing all the other stuff I need to do on it).

direct me to a good beginner's guide to Debian? Or explain some things briefly. Where can I learn how to use the Terminal Command Line? How do you add programs to Debian and what all is supported? What are packages in Debian and what can they do? Installing programs is different as expected. I tried installing Firefox, I downloaded it and extracted it into my home directory. I can run it with the Terminal Command: ~/firefox/firefox [When in the home directory] and it works. Is that how it is intended to work? Just random thing there. I guess in a sense, I just really want to learn about every aspect of Debian Linux in a user-friendly type environment.

I'm a relatively recent Linux convert and I'm studying computer science. I've been taking some time in getting myself familiar with the Terminal and the Linux command line and can now use the Terminal confidently, albeit with a little help from Google every now and then. I know that when I graduate and start working I will mainly be using Windows computers and thus I would like to be able to use the Windows Command Prompt confidently as well.
Is there any way to run something in the terminal that mimics DOS behavior? If not, is there a possibility for me to personally configure an "alternate" terminal which only allows those linux commands that are equivalent to DOS commands, without removing any functionality of the "original" terminal?

I have a 500GB external usb drive connected to my USB router (running dd-wrt). I have the router setup with samba and can read/write to it from any PC on the network. I have it setup to automount in Ubuntu. How can I access that mounted samba share when I SSH into the box? I want to cp or mv files from the PC to the Networked samba share via ssh CLI.

I have a small network at my home. I have two laptop with Linux , one with MAC and a Desktop with Windows and Linux. Also have a Network printer and a printer that is connected to the Desktop PC. I have to work with files that are on the Windows PC as also with the printer (because of colour). For what I have heard , Samba is the answer, but when I click on Samba or on Windows Network, I received a message telling there isn't anything there and I have 5 shared folders as well the printer.

I don't understand the character between 8F374FEF and sudo in the command line below. Yea, I am a total noob, and if I have to ask then maybe its something I shouldnt be doing. I did try to search the help data base first. I also have tried copy-paste in the terminal as well. So what is that character and how do I get it in the command line?

Is there a way for a normal user to mount samba shares from the command line using devicekit? It seems like I remember there was a way to do it using hal, but that's been replaced by devicekit in Lucid if I've read correctly.
I can click on the shares I want in nautilus under "Network", but I'm using fluxbox and I'd like to mount a few shares at startup. I read the documentation for the udisks command, but I can't figure out how to get it to work with samba shares.

I have a GUI for Samba already as it most likely installed, the problem is I don't have a shared folder in admin menu. I have told samba what folder to share and what user to have access to it. As well I have looked at the config file to make sure what was in the gui printed into the config file. However I cannot start, stop, restart samba via command line. I will try config package and hopefully that drops down everything,
[code]...
sudo service smbd restart unrecognized service, nmbd same thing. Now it is installed, but has no script file or the script file is not in the init.d folder like it should be still trying to figure I have come to the conclusion that the daemons are not installed and am trying to figure out what those script files look like or a way to import them off a ftp, however no luck with google so far. But the scripts files don't exist on my box. how do you install samba daemons when it says samba is already installed.

I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't found an elegant way to do it. I can't just use the GUI since I want to integrate this line of code into a greater shell script for this project.
My preferred terminal is terminator, but it doesn't really matter at this point.

Is there a way by which I can read RSS feeds from the terminal itself ? Something that would display the titles and a link to follow. Or maybe a software which works from within the terminal.
