I’m used to using ’slapt-get –search foobar’ in Slackware, and was curious how to do it in debian…
apt-cache search foobar
This is quite useful on our new Blades.
I thought I should post this for the record, as it’s a problem I’ve run into before, and I managed to find a weird workaround.
If you try to create two mapped network drives from a Windows PC to the same Linux Samba server, when trying to map the second drive you will get an error (don’t have the error off hand, something about multiple connections not allowed).
This appears to be a limitation with Samba. To get around it, map each by a differnt hostname. That is, edit the computer’s host file or the server DNS so that say…myserver.yjusa.com myotherserver.yjusa.com both just go to 10.0.4.19.
Then map your drives as \\myserver.yjusa.com\SharedDocs and \\myotherserver.yjusa.com\Accounting. This somehow tricks windows, and allows you to establish multiple connections.
