you can share it via samba if you plan to access it from a windows or linux box, or you can share it via nfs and access/mount it in you linux box.
.
for samba, check this thread
https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=16737
that's under FAQ or try to browse the FAQ for more
.
another way, you can access it from remote pc if you enable ssh-server on that Box, then edit files via command line. If from windows, you can install putty then ssh to that host, if from linux, you can ssh on it from your linux console or you can open your konqueror and just type "sftp://ip-of-that-host" (w/out quotes) and it'll prompt for a username and password to access it

ok.. here's my update, I have several MDK10.1 workstations and autofs does works fine on it, I mean, my issue of not un-mounting it after the defined timeout does not occur on it... hmm, it might be that its only happening on my desktop which is 2005LE... later I'll try to install autofs on another pc that uses LE2005 to see if the problem occurs only on my own desktop...
.
at least I'll not be going to replace any distro, its a lot of work.. :P
.
-
or maybe the firefox has been set-up to use a proxy and that proxy is not accessible anymore..
-
then try to #urpmi cups
.
if its installed already, then it will tell you that package already installed, if not then.. it will install
-
is there any error messages or pages that can help us track the problem?

hmmn... I wonder why on my Mandriva LE 2005, it does not auto unmount the mounted smb or nfs partition after the specified --timeout time.. while on my Centos BOX, the same scenario, accessing thus remote nfs and smb drive using autofs, it did'nt gave me any problem... when I access the on-demand folder, it automatically mounted and after several seconds (time set on --timeout) of not using the mounted directory, the said partition automatically been removed or gone...
.
so in short, autofs on my CentosBox functions correctly or as how it should be while on mandriva (LE 2005), it does not... (in particular, the auto-unmounting problem)
.
is there a special setup that should be done on Mandriva regarding autofs, or maybe its a kind of BUG...
.
hope someone can help, because if I can't resolve it, I will be force to change or replace the current mandriva on some of my workstations.....
.
still googling on it, there might be an issue similar to this before....

ok, I found the problem, it was me, on my auto.smb config
#/etc/auto.smb drive -fstype=smbfs,username=user01,password=pw001,uid=1000,gid=1000 ://xp01/officefiles
the first entry is "drive", and what I did was just "ls /officefiles" since the "/officefiles" directory was created automatically, now I realized that I should include the "drive" since it is where the //xp01/officefiles will be mounted, so I should have to "ls /officefiles/drive" and it will be mounted. So partially solved...
.
now on my /etc/auto.master
/officefiles /etc/auto.smb --timeout=60
I stated there the "--timeout=60" and supposedly it'll auto-unmount the mounted drive after 60 seconds according to man page, but it did'nt ...
.
I'll update if I'll be able to fix it
.
if you have a suggestion, thanks in advance
:P

this should do,
#chkconfig --list | grep cups cups 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off cups-lpd: off
on mine, cups does not start automatically, if you want it to start when your desktop start.. do the command
#chkconfig --level 5 cups on
then do the command below
# chkconfig --list | grep cups cups 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off
but its not yet started, so either you restart the PC or you start cups manually
#service cups start
or
#/etc/init.d/cups start
.
and I assume that cups has been already installed on your system
.
to check if its been installed or not
#rpm -qa | grep cups

I think C++ does not depend on M$ while Visual C++ depends on M$. If you can code C++, you can make a program on whatever OS, while if you create a program using Visual C++ ( just an opinion) it will run only on M$ OS...

ok, I'v read that we can mount smbfs and/or nfs on demand, via automount or autofs. I have a windows box with a shared folder named officefiles, say.. //xp01/officefiles with user=user01 and password=pw001 to access it.
.
here's how I configure it...
.
from a LE2005 box
.
installed autofs
.
kernel support autofs - checked
.
my /etc/auto.master
#/etc/auto.master /officefiles /etc/auto.smb --timeout=60
and my /etc/auto.smb
#/etc/auto.smb drive -fstype=smbfs,username=user01,password=pw001,uid=1000,gid=1000 ://xp01/officefiles
.
after restarting autofs, it autocreates /officefiles directory... but when am trying to ls /officefiles, its empty and when am doin a df, its not mounted... what am not sure is, should I create that folder manually? (but it was auto created after starting autofs)..
.
when checking the logs after starting autofs, this is what it shows..
x automount[19337]: failed to mount /officefiles/.directory Feb 9 15:41:45 nixbox autofs: automount shutdown succeeded Feb 9 15:41:45 nixbox autofs: automount startup succeeded Feb 9 15:41:49 nixbox automount[19487]: failed to mount /officefiles/.directory
about the uid, that was set as the same uid of the regular user on my linux box, so it should be able to access the supposedly on demand share...
.
anyone have tried this set-up sucessfully?
thanks in advance!

THe easiest way without having to download cd iso is to borrow the DVD rom and put it on the subject machine :P

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I was wondering if Firefox 1.5 will automatically update itself much like it has for my Windows box. I'm running 10.2 and have installed 1.5 from the tarball on their site and not from an RPM if that matters.
yeah, It will auto update but only if you set the "autmatically update and install" option under the preferences advance tab.
.
I remember that mine had just autoupdate to 1.5.1 lastweek..

try the command df as root, it will show you all the mounted stuff. is it mounted?
.
also, try #umount -l /store -> that should unmount it even if its buzy
.
(-l = small letter L)

# showmount -a 172.16.0.254 All mount points on 172.16.0.254: *:/mnt/filedrive/file 172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0:/opt/ltsp 172.16.0.37:* 172.16.0.50:172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0 172.16.0.51:172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0

works on my Mandriva LE 2005, so if JZA just cut and paste the coded portion, and that was the actual command, might be that it was only a typo error, like an additional space after the command showmount

portscan happens almost everytime and its common to encounter it when you are connected to internet, since you've noticed that you are being scanned, that only means that you are protected by shorewall.. (of course you wont noticed that you are being scanned if shorewall is'nt running) just follow qchem advice, especially, make sure that sshd has been turned off if not in use...

Yes. Visio can be read by dia, although Visio is more robust. Incidently, Visio was not developed by Microsoft, who aquired the program (and the company) only recently. It is an example of Microsoft gobbling up good software rather than creating anything.
what version of dia you are using that will able to open a visio file.. thus saved as .vsd file?

hmmn..
.
try to disable some services that you really dont need on booting your linux.. if you cant do it in gui. try it via CLI.. [ctrl + Alt + F1]

Microsoft Visio... is there a way a visio file can be imported to Dia or kvio?..
-
yeah.. thats the easiest solution :P

kbear is a graphical ftp or sftp client on kde, do you really need a tutorial on this? you just have to type the ip or hostname of the host you wish to access using kbear, and if you mean, how to install it... see below.. on mandriva
root#urpmi kbear To satisfy dependencies, the following 2 packages are going to be installed (9 MB): kbear-2.1.1-14mdk.i586 libkbear2-2.1.1-14mdk.i586 Is this OK? (Y/n) y
ok, after installing it, there is wizard that will let you do some initial set-up... the defaults works on my box, except on that firewall or proxy part, since I dont have one... then after setting the default, just click the quick connect button, then enter the hostname, username, and password and select the correct protocols you wish to use, ftp, sftp, fish, smb...

you may try to check the state of your printer if it accepts jobs or there if there's no smb authentication problem by opening a browser or konqueror then type the url http://localhost:631/printers
