TWIMC:
Problem #1...
I have set up a LAN that will use a modem connection to the
internet. When Samba is down, the modem
connection via 'kppp' works fine, but when Samba is up, the modem
connection returns the following whenever
ne tries to connect to the net via 'kppp'.
Sep 15 22:28:48 <my_local_host> pppd[10000]: By default the
remote system is required to authenticate itself
Sep 15 22:28:48 <my_local_host> pppd[10000]: (because this system
has a default route to the internet)
Sep 15 22:28:48 <my_local_host> pppd[10000]: but I couldn't find
any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Sep 15 22:28:48 <my_local_host> pppd[10000]: (None of the
available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
I realize what is the problem, but I can find no detailed
instructions on how to rectify it. The HOWTO indicates that
a script-based authentication is required, but I couldn't locate
any thorough instructions on how to set this up. If the
machine is connected to the internet before Samba is started, the
machines on the LAN can access the net.
Problem #2...
In the Samba HOWTO, there is a segment of instructions which
makes reference to networking with a Windows
machine using encrypted passwords. The instructions are as
follows:
Windows 95/98 =============
Using the registry editor (regedit), create the registry
setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP
Add a
new DWORD value: Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data:
0x01.
Within the registry, I could not find anything regarding a
"DWORD" or "DWORD value" - there are "New"
values: Key, String, Numeric, Binary, Expanded String, Multi
String. Performing a search throughout the
registry for "dword" yields a "DATA" value = "dword" within the
"Branch" setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Nettrans\0003\Ndi\Params\Network_ID
with "Name" value = "Type".
Any ideas???
Kern.
