Samba Configuration on Ubuntu Jaunty

Here is my Samba configuration

root@ismail-laptop:/etc/samba# less smb.conf | grep -v “^#” | grep -v “^;”

[global]

workgroup = Mshome

server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

dns proxy = no

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

max log size = 1000

syslog = 0

panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

security = user

encrypt passwords = true

passdb backend = tdbsam

obey pam restrictions = yes

smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

unix password sync = yes

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

I have six computers running both Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10. When I am running a linux machine I can see all of the computers using Windows but none of the computers running linux. All of the Windows machines are in the same workgroup (obviously). Is there a way to allow the Windows machines to see the linux ones and each other?

Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter. This is Issue #177 for the week January 17th - January 23rd, 2010 and is available here.

In this issue we cover:

It’s possible to create an ISO from either the original media or from files that already exist on your PC.

To make an ISO from your CD/DVD, place the media in your drive but do not mount it. If it automounts, unmount it.  Now use one of the following commands based upon the type of drive your have:

# for dvd
dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvd.iso
# for cdrom
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso
# if cdrom is scsi
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=cd.iso

To make an ISO from files on your hard drive, create a directory which holds the files you want. Then use the mkisofs command.

mkisofs -o /tmp/cd.iso /tmp/directory/

This results in a file called cd.iso in folder /tmp which contains all the files and directories in /tmp/directory/.

က်ေနာ့္ FreeBSD စက္ထဲကို local network အတြင္းမွာရွိတဲ့ အျခားစက္ကေန ဥပမာ ubuntu ကေန ssh နဲ့ login ဝင္တာေလးပါ။ certificate authentication နည္းနဲ့ ဝင္တာပါ။ ဒီေနရာမွာ FreeBSD က Server သေဘာမ်ုိးသက္ေရာက္ျပီး Client Ubuntu စက္ကေန ဝင္မွာပါ။ FreeBSD က Server သေဘာမ်ုိးဆိုတာ့ ssh daemon run ေနဖို့လိုအပ္ပါတယ္။ အဲဒီအတြက္ က်ေနာ္တို့ /etc/rc.conf ဖိုင္မွာ enable လုပ္ေပးျပီး daemon ကို run ရေအာင္ ..

Enable sshd
# echo 'sshd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
# /etc/rc.d/sshd start

ျပီးရင္ rsa keys မထုတ္ရေသးရင္ generate လုပ္ေပးရေအာင္ ေအာက္က command ကို run ပါမယ္။ က်ေနာ္တို့ normal user အေနနဲ့ ထုတ္မွာျဖစ္လို့ root user ကေန exit လုပ္ေပးပါ။

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
