TCB Talk / microcore linux server can't ping windows host names

« Last post by remus on Today at 09:55:56 PM »

Hi all,

I have just noticed that my microcore linux samba file server that's been running for ages can't ping windows by host name, only by their ip address's.

I've always been able to ping the microcore linux server by its ip address AND its hostname no problem.

Here's my /opt/eth0.sh file.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
pkill udhcpc
ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.150 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 10.1.1.255 up
route add default gw 10.1.1.1
echo nameserver 10.1.1.1 > /etc/resolv.conf

my /etc/resolv.conf file

Code: [Select]

nameserver 10.1.1.1
my /etc/nsswitch.conf file

Code: [Select]

# /etc/nsswitch.conf: GNU Name Service Switch config.

passwd:     files
group:      files
shadow:     files

hosts:      files dns wins
networks:   files

rpc:        files
services:   files
my /usr/local/etc/samba/smb.conf file

Code: [Select]

[global]
workgroup = workgroup
name resolve order = bcast lmhosts host wins

netbios name = adminbackup
security = share

log file = /mnt/sda1/sambalogs/%m
log level = 1
max log size = 50
debug timestamp = yes

load printers = no
show add printer wizard = no
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes

[backup]
comment = Admin Backup
path = /mnt/sda1/shares/backup
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force user = tc
force group = staff
output of ifconfig -a

Code: [Select]

ifconfig -a

The file server i'm talking about still works fine as a file server for our windows workgroup network.

Its microcore_3.8.4

Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions

dCore X86 / Re: 3.10.14 New release candidate

« Last post by Jason W on Today at 07:22:49 PM »

Made some cosmetic bugfixes, some that apply to the current release.  But rather than potentially cause structural bugs in the current offering look for the fixes here.

Also, since most folks use the same importsce flags each time, a config file is being introduced that will allow simple calling of importsce and your favorite flags being used without specifying them each time.  /etc/sysconfig/sceconfig is the file, below is the structure.  Change "FALSE" to "TRUE" to enact your preferred behavior.  Flags used during importsce of course override config file settings.

Code: [Select]

# Use KEEPDOC=TRUE to keep /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man
# directories in sce's. Useful for the man command form the
# man-db package.
KEEPDOC=FALSE

# Use RAM=TRUE to use RAM to unpack the contents of packages used
# when making an SCE.  Particularly useful for flash devices.
RAM=FALSE

# Use DEPS=TRUE to make use of existing SCEs as dependencies
# of the imported one.
DEPS=FALSE

# Use SIZE=TRUE for the displaying of the sizes of needed RAM, HD
# space and download when importing.
SIZE=FALSE

dCore Imported Extensions / Re: fluff problem

« Last post by Jason W on Today at 05:17:05 PM »

I've added aterm from Core since it has no dependencies, and the aterm in Debian has many, like gdk-pixbuf.  Since the goal of aterm, fluff, etc is small size I thought that was prudent.

dCore X86 / 3.10.14 New release candidate

« Last post by Jason W on Today at 04:31:52 PM »

I have added a -k option to importsce to allow the keeping of doc and man pages.  Helpful for offline documentation and use of the "man" command provided by the man-db package.

New cut uploaded to x86 release candidates.

I haven't dropped by TinyCpre for a while. I just read a book review that was very nice. While here I noticed piCore. I can't wait to give it a try.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

TCE Talk / Re: Is findshares open source?

« Last post by Rich on Today at 12:08:59 PM »

Hi Scooby

Local IP Address = 192.168.56.1 on vboxnet0
Local IP Address = 192.168.56.101 on vboxnet0

Actually, I expected the same share to be reported twice, once by each of the listed interfaces. I guess I'll have to add a
message to the output to make that apparent.

I'm afraid I don't really know anything about vbox. Whatever interfaces the operating system reports as available are listed
and scanned.

TCE Talk / Re: Is findshares open source?

« Last post by Scooby on Today at 11:53:09 AM »

OK did what you asked and no segfault
But two outputs of the same share maybe cause the two entries of vboxnet0 ?

on Vbox it says

Adapter IPv4 adress: 192.168.56.1
DHCPCD Server 192.168.56.100
Host machine  192.168.56.101 ?
Linux Lite with samba share 192.168.56.102

Don't really now why network adapter has its own IP?
It comes up under ifconfig->vboxnet0 when executed on host

Maybe problem only on vbox

Now I realy got to go, Will come back tomorrow

Code: [Select]

./findshares
