LanPuppy How To?
samba and tftp not running on pupserver
I checked and no, they are not running. The eth0 interface is up and running and the conf files are in in lanpup_conf\etc. What else can I check for?sunburnt wrote:Hi godog; Does "ps" show: nmbd, smbd, & xinet running?
The SAVE file should have all the startup scripts in it of course, so it should work.
look at the file: /etc/rc.d/rc.local for the line: /etc/rc.d/rc.pupserv
look at the file: rc.pupserv for the lines:
/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start ##### Start Samba Server
mkdir /var/lib/dhcp3 # dhcpd setup
touch /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases
/usr/sbin/dhcpd3 ##### Start DHCP3 damon
mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot # tftpd setup
ln -s /mnt/home/tftpboot /
/usr/sbin/xinetd ##### Start XINET damon
They should all be there, in the pupSRV file.
/pupserv/lanpuppy_conf is just a backup dir., it isn't run from.
The dirs. in / of the chosen partition are:
/pupserv
/lanpup
/tftpboot
/docs
/public
and files in / are:
/pupSRV
/usr_cram.fs

too excited... got wrong files??
I cannot find any sign of DHCP, Samba or tftp starting. I must have grabbed the wrong files from MU ftp site. What I have is
PupServer1-10_alpha.tar.gz file size 64,633,894 and
LanPuppy1-10_SimplePup_alpha.tar.gz size 88,435,803
Please keep me posted as to when the correct(?) files are available. I have several machines ready and waiting for testing. Thanks again

m1r0; It's easier for you as a noob to run Win & make the partition FAT32.
In Win destroy the partition, make a new one, format & systemize it for
DOS, now it'll boot DOS, then put the /pupserv/pupserv.bat file in /
With dosgzip.exe & dostar.exe, GunZip the 2 files & then unTar them in /
Reboot & press [F8] to get boot menu, then type: pupserv.bat
If you want to put it on another type of partition, then you'll have to set it up.
SysLinux is my choice for a boot loader, but Grub is good also & popular.
PupServer "should" adapt itself to whatever network that it's dropped in to.
This is one of the MOST crucial tests for it, as it is a network server.
There's 2 user's (UserName: us ,PassWord: US) (UserName: me ,PassWord: ME).
You can remove them & add others with the LanPuppyAdmin. utility.
There's many many parts to these 2 packages, I've tried everything out
but I'm sure there's stuff that'll fail on you, but hey... that's why it's "alpha".

It boots off a HD only... You unGzip & unTar in the "/" dir., these 2 files:
LanPuppy1-10_xxxx_alpha.tar.gz
PupServer1-10_xxxx_alpha.tar.gz
To extract the 2 files you need: dostar & dosgzip
As I said... I think you should make the partition FAT32 & systemized.
Then while booting press [F8] & select: "DOS Prompt Only"
At the DOS prompt type: "copy \pupserv\pupserv.bat \"
Then type: "\pupserv.bat" And PupServer should startup.

1) PupServer is booting off a USB, & on HD second part. with XP on the first?
2) 3 LanPuppy PCs booted from the PupServer on the USB?
3) Does the HD PupServer boot the LanPuppy clients also?
PupServer has to have network setup just like any other Puppy distro.
4) Any trouble with PupServer fitting into the network?
5) Other PCs (XP, etc.) still work with no problems?
6) LanPuppy client PCs have Firefox web access as soon as they boot? (no setup)
If all of this is YES, then it truly is an astounding success!
CONGRADULATIONS!!!
7) Add/Remove "Users" & "Hosts" works with PupServer's "LanPuppy Admin."?
It's a PupServer desktop icon at the lower left above the Start button.
If a PupServer PC has a floppy drive, try making a PXE boot floppy.
Put the floppy in a cilent PC with a floppy drive & Test boot it... LET ME KNOW.
Update: I've got most of the sfsManager working, it's pretty complicated.
There's still alot of parts to it & it'll take awhile till it's ready for testing.
Sounds great! Terry
