Multiple hosts & hosts.equiv
Hi, I've never connected two or more computers before, and have questions regarding administration. I now have two Debian Linux boxes connected via Ethernet and NFS up and running, no problem. However, I can't get rlogin/rsh/rcp working "passwordlessly". I have added + in /etc/hosts.equiv on both boxes and gone through /etc/login.defs with no success. I even get a password prompt when doing 'rlogin localhost'! I'm sure there is a config somewhere I've missed. How do you declare a host's chummy friends besides hosts.equiv? Secondly, what is the best way to propagate the passwd and group files? I consider using NIS but haven't put my teeth in it yet. I though perhaps an 'rcp' would do it, but since I can't rcp due to the password prompt, well, you get the picture. Any hints are welcome. Regards, /Gunnar
smbmount /usr possible?
Greetings fellow debian users, I've recently gotten myself a little local network and have decided to run my old 486 as server for exporting its large HD by using samba. My new PC (the client) has both Linux and Win95 bootable + the old 1GB HD. Now, I want to minimize the Linux partition on my client and smbmount the /usr directory from my server. The target is to share every little file that is sharable to maximize the usage of the HD. The best would be (I suppose) to have the same /usr mounted on both hosts. However, debian seems to use /usr to store vital installation information which will cause conflicts if I manage to smbmount that directory. So, is it possible to only use dselect on my server to install programs I want to share between the hosts. And is it possible to share the entire /usr directory?

Problem w/ network card during boot
Hi, I have a problem when switching on the power. A module named "seeq8005" seems to be probing and successfully detecting "something". I suspect seeq8005 is a network h/w, because it will be given device eth0. Later in the boot sequence my NE2000 card is successfully probed and given eth1. When I reboot, seeq8005 either won't probe or fails to probe because the NE card will be eth0 (as it should be). It is only after a power on the seeq8005 conflicts w/ my NE card. The reported io addresses are NOT the same; seeq8005 reports 0x300 and 0x240 for the NE card. I'm using the latest distribution previous to the 2.0 beta. The problem appears on both of my installed hosts. I can't any reference to seeq8005 in the modconf program either. Anybody got an idea?

Ultraound MAX, gus.o module
Hi, I've recompiled my kernel but cannot get the midi for of my GUS MAX to work. /dev/audio works fine, but I am unable to play midi files. I have read the /usr/doc/ultra/ docs, but I don't grasp how to actaully get it to work when recompiling the kernel. According to the README, support for GUS should _not_ be compiled into the kernel, but the module gus.o should be used. However, since I have compiled 2.0.34 and the debian dist is 2.0.32 (HAMM), I can't insert the gus.o module using gusins. I cannot find a way to compile it, either. Is there a simple, clear, step-by-step documentation to get midi to work for GUS, anywhere? I'd like some fingers before I dig into the process of recompiling the 'debian' kernel. Regards, /Gunnar
