Hi everyone,

OK, I've made a monumental fsck-up of my linux installation AND I did not backup my data properly (idiot!), so I'm really up the proverbial without a paddle here.

Basically the...

Thanks for your help Optimus_P and LivinFree!

I don't quite understand what I've done but, after changing the smb.conf as per the article below (with some minor mods) and after setting the WINS...

Hi all,

Firstly this is my very first attempt at installing and using Samba and only have a basic grasp of how it works....

Earlier today I installed Samba 3.0.2 under Solaris 9 (Sun Ultra 60)...

Hi mbb,

Many ways to skin a cat...what I actually did was take the decimalized number, say 0.345, strip the "0." off the front using sed and hey presto there's my integer!

Cheers! ;)

Hey TT! Thanks for the pointer on the use of bc - Unix to me keeps on getting deeper and deeper! I didn't realise there were so many tools and utilities.

I tried using bc, but I just couldn't work...

Hi everyone,

I've just bought a sun ultra 60 and am a bit of a unix newbie, so bear with me here! I've just completed a fresh install of Solaris 9 and everything was going well until the machine...

Sorry for posting a...

Hi all,

I've been using linux/unix now only for a couple of months and was doing ok until about 30 minutes ago...

I needed to reboot into my windows 2000 partition, so, in a terminal I typed:

Thanks RTM. I had a look at those docs and found some more info on setting the boot device to cdrom, - which I did - and lo-and-behold I can install solaris 9 from scratch, which is where I wanted...

Hi,

I've just bought an Ultra 60 running solaris 9 (or so I've been led to believe). When I start up, it looks for a (presumably) domain/network to hook up to and the following messages are...
