1.0.5 alpha 2 - LinNeighborhood Samba Client |
|
The 1.0.5 alpha 2 - LinNeighborhood Samba Client doesn't work for me connecting to a windows machine. I can add a machine, scan it as user and get the share list.
When I click on a share and say mout, I put in my information and then receive a "Can't resolve address" error (sounds like a name resolution problem ).
The 1.0.4 version worked right out of the box.

Obviously Barry is aware of why this happens (as it works in puppy 1.04 and is a known bug in LN) and he probably recompiled the alpha 2 from scratch and forgot about it.
For anyone else that is interested in knowing the answer, read on:
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/tur-users/2004-March/000109.html
(note to barry: I'm still hoping for PPP-MPPE 2.4.0 or 2.4.1 (for MS-CHAP-v2 and MPPE) in the kernel, it's the ONLY thing you are missing )
or can one recompile the kernel with the new developer kit?

Here is the LinNeighborhood download site:
http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/download/
and I attached a patched smbmount.c (rename to .c from .zip, it is NOT a zip) for anyone that wants to save some typing.
I built it with the new developer pack and it stays after I reboot.

BTW that was me on the last post. I'm a "computer expert" but got so excited that I did something, I forgot to sign in. I also spend a lot of time talking to myself.

Thanks for that.

No problem. Thank you for this great distro.
If you get a chance, please consider adding MPPE support to the 1.0.5 kernel and the source in usr_devx.sfs.
It's supposed to be available at the following url, but the site seems down:
http://www.polbox.com/h/hs001/
I believe all you need can be extracted from one of the RPM's here:
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/mppe/
I really feel that is all you are missing from making this the ULTIMATE network admins tool. It will enable VPN support for MS machines.

No MPPE for 1.0.5
...I've already got so much to do for 1.0.5, getting behind my own self-imposed schedule.
remind me soon after 1.0.5 is released.
will probably consider a kernel upgrade after 1.0.5.

I understand how that goes. I've got too much on my plate also. I'll be sure to remind you in the future though.

John Doe-
Thanks for the patch. I hadn't tried linneighborhood yet, but now it's working great.

For the sake of the archive, this site is now located here:
http://mppe-mppc.alphacron.de/
I couldn't find it through google, but it showed up under yahoo.
