Slackware :: Turn Off Netbios In Samba?

Apr 6, 2011

If you're running samba server on your Slackware box on a windows network / domain, and you don't want it showing up on the windows computers network neighborhood browser, there's a couple of things you have to do. First, add the line:

disable netbios = yes to the global section of smb.conf. This didn't work for me so I also figured out the next step:

Second, edit the rc.samba script and remove the references to starting or restarting nmbd.

In this line: if [ -x /usr/sbin/smbd -a -x /usr/sbin/nmbd -a -r /etc/samba/smb.conf ]; then

Remove the reference to nmbd (underlined above) so it looks like this:

if [ -x /usr/sbin/smbd -a -r /etc/samba/smb.conf ]; then

Then comment out with a # this part: #echo " /usr/sbin/nmbd -D" # /usr/sbin/nmbd -D

and add a comment # mark here (right before nmbd)

samba_stop() {
killall smbd # nmbd

underlined above, then restart samba or reboot. The first step may not be necessary if you make the changes to rc.samba but I did both and that took care of it.

Ubuntu Networking :: Share Out Samba Shares - Multiple Netbios Showing From Server

Nov 30, 2010

I have a fileserver that I want to share out samba shares. However, i configured samba to have another netbios (SAN) and my windows box still sees whoopn-SAN which is the name I gave to my server when i installed it. Now I am using 9.10 and I know that i can create a share from the gnome gui in nautilus and that appears to be a windows like share. How can I turn OFF the windows like shares that ubuntu does out of the box and use ONLY samba? I ask because there appears to be a conflict of permissions b/w samba and this stuff.

General :: Wireless Won't Turn On With Slackware 13.1?

Mar 9, 2011

I have an ACER Travelmate 32600-4542. The original OS was windows XP. I installed Linux Mint 10.0. I ran that a little while and for some reason it wasslow and would occasionally freeze for a few seconds at a time. I got sick of that andid a clean install of Slackware 13.1. The problem I am having now is the wireless won't come onI try to switch the power switch and it will not turn on. I am fairly new to Linux and don't even know where to start to find out why it isn't turning on. I didn't have any problems with it turning on with Mint.

Slackware :: How To Turn On System Bell In XTerm

Apr 11, 2010

I'm trying to turn on the system bell (pc speaker) in xterm. I have the bell working in console (text mode, not under X), and with X running, even firefox can use the pc speaker (it beeps, when I enter a search term which is not found). Only xterm doesn't seem to work.

Here is my xterm config, and the xset command I'm trying to use to turn the bell on:
-------###--------
xterm*renderFont: true
xterm*faceName: Terminus
xterm*faceSize: 12

xterm*loginShell: true
!xterm*Geometry: 102x48+0+0
xterm*Geometry: 102x48
xterm*scrollBar: false

xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: white
!xterm*highlightColor: red
xterm*charClass: 46-47:48

xterm*visualBell: false
-------###--------
xset b on
xset bell 100 1000 1000
-------###--------

If I run xterm with the +vb option, it doesn't help either (I'm testing it with printf "a"). What am I missing? How can I make xterm use my pc speaker as bell?

Slackware :: KDE4 Wicd Startup - Turn Off?

Mar 13, 2010

I once had wicd running at KDE startup as I was just playing around with it. The problem is I now have turned off rc.wicd and don't want to use wicd any more. Every time I start KDE it still asks for the root password which I cancel and it then tells me it can't connect to wicd's dbus. This is getting really annoying as I have been trawling through my ~ looking for the setting that starts this up. I just want wicd turning off completely and this message to go away.

Slackware :: Poweroff Does Not Turn Off Fujitsu N3530 Notebook?

Jun 17, 2010

I recently upgraded the hard drive on my Fujitsu N3530 notebook to WD Scorpio Blue 500 MB, and created a dual-boot configuration with WinXP, installing 32-bit Slackware 13.1 from DVD. Grub 0.97 bootloader is installed on superblock of root partition. Running KDE. Using the generic kernel with appropriate initrd for ext4 filesystem on root partition.

Everything runs fine so far, except the computer won't power off the computer. I've tried using the KDE shutdown, and shutting down from command line - same result. Also same result if I use the huge kernel or the generic kernel.

The last message I see is:
Remounting root filesystem read-only.
/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (ro)
Power down.

... and then the shutdown process stalls and I have to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.

This is the first time I've installed any Linux OS on this notebook. I have Slackware 13.0 running fine on a Thinkpad T61 with no poweroff issue.

From reading various posts, this looks to be related to ACPI. I tried adding "acpi=force" to the kernel line in menu.lst, but it made no difference.

/var/log/messages shows "acpid exiting" and then "exiting on signal 15" as last entries during shutdown.s.

Slackware :: Turn Off Or Reboot Machine By Command Failed

Nov 4, 2010

I am using Slackware 13.1 on my Asus K40IN, I also use dual boot by LILO with Windows XP. In Windows XP I can reboot or shutdown by select Start -> Turn off Computer, or just physically push the power button, then the machine will shutdown. In my Slackware 13.1, I can physically push the power button, the machine show that it is switching to run level 0, and then it will power off. However, I can not turn it off or restart my machine by the command (run "halt" or "reboot" as root), it show identical things like when I physically push button, but when it turn to status "Restarting machine" or "Turning off machine", my computer hang there, it does not power off machine or restart it. Is there any one experienced this situation? What should I do to fix it?

Networking :: Get Netbios Name From Ip Address?

Mar 1, 2010

At the CLI, I want to know how to get a netbios name from an IP address. It seems that every solution that I have found is windows based, or requires me to install something beyond samba. is a simple "prog-x -somearg 192.168.1.100" or similar to get the netbios name - and that it doesn't require a reconfiguration of my server?

For instance, I would like this to be usable on a desktop system in an ad hoc without having to be run from root.

Debian :: Getting Resolving Netbios Names ?

Jul 11, 2010

I'm having trouble getting my debian box to find my windows box. This should be possible using netbios names.

The debian box is a newly installed minimal (nothing but base) release, to which I've added samba (using apt-get).

The windows box can see the debuan box just fine. Attempting to ping it by name results with:

Pinging debbox [192.168.1.100] with 32 bytes of data: ...

But going back the other way, the debian box can't see the windows box.

ping: unknown host winbox

I'm pretty happy that the windows box is behaving itself as there are no problems getting it to interact with other windows machines on the network.

Looking on google, the suggestion is to modify the host line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to include wins: hosts: files dns [b]wins[/b]

This worked on other linux machines in the past but not this time.

So my guess it that I've got SAMBA mis-configured or I'm missing a package.

I'm guessing some other package installed this as a dependency. Is there anyway to find out what it was and remove it?

Ubuntu Networking :: NetBIOS - Addressing Computers By Name

I'm having some trouble addressing computers by name. I've just upgraded most my my box's to Lucid, and it was all working fine, but suddenly stopped - not quite sure why, or what I did, but I need it to come back! At first I thought it was my old router dying (which it was) but a new router hasn't helped.

I've now moved DHCP from the router to my server, and that's working fine, giving out static IPs from MAC addresses, and so forth, but I still can't address anything by name. My server is on 192.168.100.1 and called myth-server, if I

Networking :: Automated Way Of Loging Into Servers By Netbios Name Instead Of Ip's

Sep 18, 2010

In recent days, (today is September 18, 2010) I've been surfing the web trying to learn how to access nodes in my soho lan by netbios names instead of having to connect through the ip number, because ip's change every time according to DHCP assignments. I do not know what has happened to the "new" command mount.cifs, but things seem to have become a bit more complicated with the new version. Security problems, they say, and surely that's the reason.

I show here an automated way of loging into servers by netbios name instead of having to resort to the use of IP numbers, hosts files, wins servers and all that jazz. This is especially useful if your soho lan have five or more network nodes, and you do not want to go finding out the ip numbers assigned to the machines you want to connect to (temporarily or permanently).

This output is piped to gawk to isolate the line containing <00>, and gawk outputs the first element (print $1) of that line, which happens to be the ip of the server ServerName. I tested the script in my soho network, which now has Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7 nodes, and it worked perfectly for both tipes of servers.I'm using GNU's gawk, but I'm pretty sure that awk would do the job just as well.

CentOS 5.5
Windows 7 machine (hostname/NETBIOS name: AwesomePC, LAN IP: 192.168.1.20)
Workgroup: Cake
No WINS server
No Domain
No AD

Goal

From CentOS 5.5, have

# ping AwesomePC

resolve to a ping on 192.168.1.20

Problem

# ping AwesomePC

resolves to some random public IP that seems to be coming from my WAN DNS (openDNS) servers

ATTEMPTS

Have edited /etc/nsswitch.conf, edited line: hosts: files wins dns Have edited /etc/resolv.conf, added line: search CAKE Have installed samba (# yum install samba) and run (# service smb start), with /etc/samba/smb.conf, workgroup = CAKE, name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast

Does # ping even care about samba? How can I get this to work?

Fedora :: FC11 Cannot Mount Windows Shares Using Netbios Names

Nov 30, 2009

I've had my FC11 x86_64 installation up and running for 6 months. Until a week ago, I was able to mount windows shares through Nautilis using their netbios names. About a week ago, this all broke with no tinkering on my part. Now, I can mount the shares using the IP address, but not using the netbios name.

When I make he attempt either from scratch or by using a previously working bookmark, I get "cannot display location "smb:\..." When I browse the network using Nautilis I can see the workgroup, but when I try to open it, I get "unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server." When I use nmblookup with the netbios name, the correct ip adress is returned.

The problem seemed to correspond to a software update that occurred on 2009-11-21 that included updates to selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted. SE Linux has the System Default Enforcing Mode set to disabled. The system default policy type is set to targeted with no other options available.nsswitch.conf file appears to have been changed on the same date, but reverting back to the backup version of the file failed to solve the problem. Samba is up and running. My linux shares are accessible from my windows boxes. The firewall is open to smb and smbclient.

About half the traffic on my LAN is netbios broadcast. I do not want to do a WINS server because I do not want to have to manually change the registry on every machine. This is only for local name resolution and I do not have any web servers or e-mail servers. I do not have access to a Windows server to use as a DNS server. I am on Debian and using BIND but am open to other suggestions.

Slackware :: Cannot Print To Printer On Samba Share, Even Though It Is Accessible?

However when I try to print anything on the printer via samba (or cups for that matter) from either the local machine or the remote machine, everything acts as if the job went through, but nothing happens. I'm sure I've seen this before on another slack machine that is currently unavailable, but I can't remember what the answer was, and I'm trying to be more precise with this setup so that I actually learn something.

Slackware :: Samba 3.5 With New Hardware And Machine Trust Account

Jun 25, 2010

I need some expert advice here regarding the samba problem after upgrading. All data migrated with the appropriate permission. I transferred the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/samba/* files to the new server.

Previous working version (Slackware v11 - 32bits - Old Hardware)
- samba-3.0.25a-i486-1_slack11.0
- XP Pro users are able to login and authenticate (NT DOMAIN)
- Login script and file sharing with permission are okay too

Upgraded to (Slackware 13.1 64bits - New hardware)
- samba-3.5.2-x86_64-1
- if the PC did not logoff, the file sharing and permission works fine.
- If they logoff, they will not able to re-logon.
- If I detach the PC from domain and then rejoin domain, I will be able to login to the domain, So I guess the samba configuration is working

I read it has to do with Machine Trust Account or something.
- Can I convert or make samba 3.5 recognize the Machine Trust Account on the new hardware?
- How can I check if the if the entry is successfully registered as machine trust account?
I checked and found the 'machinename$' (example) in all three places /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb. I see no differences on the one PC that I unjoin and rejoin the domain versus those old domain name join to the old hardware.

Slackware :: 13.37 UNC With SaMBa Hostaname From Win7 Box Not Resolving Via Broadcast

Subnet is 255.255.255.0 w/ both machines plugged into a switch and they are "linked" fine and other versions of Slack worked fine...
