Internet Connection Sharing - Support Question

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

I don't think it is in the repos .. could it be showing on your system because you installed it from a .deb which is now in your "local" package cache ?

I seem to be getting errors? I tried fixing them, but everytime I try to install webmin, it just says error processing package...

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

See if this helps:
http://mametrockafella.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/how-to-install-webmin-ubuntu-10-04/
or
http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-webmin-in-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx/

In particular .. the missing dependency - libmd5-perl

Any error messages would help

You are probably right, originally I had this is in my sources list: but now it is disabled:

# deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib # disabled on upgrade to lucid

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Yeh, the webmin site mentions adding the sarge contrib repo under "Using the Webmin APT repository":
http://www.webmin.com/deb.html

Theres' a chance that's how I did it on my VPS .. if you give me a min, I'll check my sources.list

Alright, now I've got webmin up and running, thanks to the first link Mark provided. I need help with two more things if you guys wouldn't mind.

Need help with SSH & permanently mounted the 3 hard-drives inside the NAS.

Currently whenever I tried to SSH to a device I keep getting:

Port 22: Connection refused

I've forwarded port 22 on my router, but I think perhaps Sky have blocked access to this, and I'll need to relocate SSH to a higher port number?

I also need help with permanently mounting the 3 hard-drives inside the NAS, so that I put all my stuff onto it.

I was thinking it might be easier to setup all 3 drives in RAID 0, to make them all become one, that way I could mount the one folder?

Really all I'll be doing is file-sharing. 2 Linux boxes, and 1 Windows box.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

DO NOT forward port 22 in the router .. that will calls on port 22 from the WAN (internet) not the local network.

[EDIT]

is ssh installed, and is ssh daemon running and listening on port 22 ?

[SeZo]

Is the ssh server running on your NAS?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

SeZo beat me to it .. I was just adding that as an edit to my last posting

[BkS]

@Mark - Removed the entry from the router.

@SeZo - Yeah, I installed it during installation.

EDIT: Never mind. SSH is working now. Just need to sort file-sharing the 3 hard-drives now. Samba is installed and working correctly, but how to I share all the drives? Just share like I would normally with folders? Or is it best to create folders inside the drives?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

On the server box, run:

Code: [Select]

ps aux | grep sshd

and

Code: [Select]

sudo netstat -nap | grep :22

and post the output.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

I take it you ran that second command on your laptop ?

On your laptop .. close all terminals.

Open another one, and run:

Code: [Select]

ssh 192.168.0.8

What is returned ?

[BkS]

Nope did the second command through SSH >.<

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

So are you saying ssh is now working ?

[EDIT]

Just read back through the topic .. it would have helped if you added that ssh was now working in its own posting, rather than an edit .. or to have mentioned it was working when I responded 

how to I share all the drives? Just share like I would normally with folders? Or is it best to create folders inside the drives?

Nobody can answer that for you
