samba woes

since upgrading to the latest samba i have a couple problems.
first, my printer doesnt work. im using lpd, which works. samba shares it, 
windows can find it, but i get an access denied error.
this, even when using my old, functional with the previous samba, smb.conf 
file.

second, samba seems to die. the processes are alive but windows cant see 
find the computer at all (ping works etc, just not smb).

if anyone has any ideas please let me know. here is my smb.conf:
[global]
         auto services = global
         printing = bsd
         encrypt passwords = Yes
         valid users = fo,freddie,ftp,nobody,root,wwwrun, <at> users, <at> root
         socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
         character set = ISO8859-15
         printcap name = /etc/printcap
         wins support = true
         dead time = 6000
         writable = yes
         printer = direct
         veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
         map to guest = Bad User
         security = share
         workgroup = ROCKNROLL
         server string = The Milking Cow
         client code page = 850
         netbios name = cow2
         load printers = yes

Samba and permissions


I have a Redhat 7.3 system running Samba server for Windows98 networked
users. These users are registered users on the Linux box, using encrypted
passwords mirrored in Samba's password list. These users need to have file
ownership for existing and new files edited on their Windows PC's. To allow
this, I've made the following mods:
in etc/profile: umask 002
in each user's data directory: chmod -r 7775
in "etc/samba/smb.conf" global settings section:
create mask = 7775
inherit permissions=no
force create mode 0664

This allows proper file ownership, and I then set all files in each user's
directory to be "read only" to all users but its owner. It also allows me to
assign other group permissions as is necessary without disrupting the
ownerships. Sometimes though, a user will copy a data file from their own
directory into another user's directory, with the intention of having the
file be "writable" by the 2nd user. However, the file continues to hold the
original ownership, and is "read only" to the 2nd user, even though it now
resides in the 2nd user's data directory.
I need to find the correct "chmod" command, or other method, to allow these
special files to become writable. It needs to be via a one-time command or
script entered at the server, as these Windows users do not have access to a
Linux shell, only to their Samba network shares.
I've also tried "inherit permissions=yes" but it did not correct the
problem.
Any suggestions?

Error Compiling OpenSSH-3.4p1

Folks,
	Need a bit of help here as I try to move from rote user to semi-competent 
admin. I've got my internal server working, although it's rather crufty, as I 
just dumped things on it and bashed about til it worked. Now I'm trying to 
build a replacement up cleanly from the start, but I can't get past the first 
steps.

	I've started with a fairly empty installation of RH 6.2 (for various 
reasons, I'm NOT going with the latest/greatest). By "empty" I mean I did not 
install most packages, because I want to install the most recent versions 
from source. 

	First step is to get secure login via OpenSSH, so I can finish work from my 
desktop machine instead of the console. I've installed OpenSSL-0.9.6d, in the 
default directory (/usr/local/ssl), with shared libraries enabled. Next step 
was _supposed_ to be OpenSSH-3.4p1 (btw, _not_ the compromised one that was 
briefly on the main site ...). Unfortunately, configure keeps telling me my 
OpenSSL headers don't match my libraries, which I don't understand. The only 
headers on the system should be the ones with the libraries I just 
compiled--I did *not* install the default RH6.2 packages, so there are no old 
files or directories from previous versions laying around. I don't know what 
default directory OpenSSH assumes, so I tried specifying various directories 
as well, using the following commands:

	./configure
	./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl
	./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl/lib

	Nada.

Groupware application


Hi!

Does anybody know of a groupware application for Linux?, I have seen
phpgroupware and I think it is a very good option, but before setting it
up I would like to know if there is a better option. What we want is that
our users can have in one central place: e-mail, addresbook, eletronic
calendar, ToDo List, etc, and all this in a shared environment. What I
mean about shared is that for example one user can ( if he wants to
) share its own calendar with other users. Also, the fact of having one
central address-book. We want that all this is done via a web-browser. 

Any ideas?, or any combination of open-source software to implement this?,
I would like to set this up instead of having to acquire something like
Lotus Notes or something alike.

As always!, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

.-.

1. Using "ls" is unnecessary; "echo" would suffice.

2. If you have bash, you can also eliminate the use of "sed", e.g.

	for i in 0*.asd ; do
	    /bin/mv -- "$i" "a${i#0}"
	done

Also, a couple of general scripting tips:

1. Shell variables should usually be enclosed in double quotes,
otherwise you will get undesired behaviour if the value contains
whitespace.

2. If the first argument to a command is a variable, you should allow
for the case where it begins with a dash, e.g. by using "--" (this
isn't any issue in this specific case, as the filename is guaranteed
to begin with a "0").

The specific error is "configure: error: Your OpenSSL headers do not match 
your library"

Checking through config.log, I find the following snippet. Note that it *is* 
correctly referencing the SSL include and library folders, and  the file 
librypto.so..0.9.61 *do* exist, and it *is* readable by root.
