Hello! I've got two questions for which I haven't been able to find an answer after searching the web and the list archives. * Is it in any way possible to, from a per-user logon script, find out if the user belongs to a specific Unix group? I guess this would get pretty tricky, but is it possible at all? * I need to create a script/program that removes a user from a Unix system. The

Hello! Is it possible to make printer queues accessable from Windows clients? That is, I've got a printer that is printed on via a Linux server running Samba, but print jobs never show up on the client-side (as far as Windows is concerned, the queue is empty). It would be nice, albeight not vital, if this worked... Thanks! -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0x5584BD98 or 'Peter Schuller

On the lines of the following post, is it possible to have samba invoke a shell command along the lines of 'root preexec' etc. for most of the useful Samba events? This would allow very powerful and flexible customisation of Samba installations. The following query would then be solved by having smbclient send a message. A few events I can think of would be:- Initial log-on.

I am getting the following error from smbclient and am not sure as where the problem is. smb: \gcc\> dir write_socket_data: write failure. Error = broken pipe write_socket: Error writing 91 bytes to socket 3: ERRNO = broken pipe failed session setup Error writing 91 bytes to client. -1.

Hello, I've been searching the archives and, while I haven't found and answer to my question, I get the impression the answer is no, but I would like to ask you guys anyway. Is it possible to have Samba display the "out of disk space" dialog (or, alternatively, just a warning dialog) when the soft limit is broken (as opposed to the hard limit)? The reason for thsi is that I

Hello, I have just had a client of ours encounter an extremely weird problem with roaming profiles. Wheather or not it's samba related I do not know, but I believe it could be. The problem is that the person in question is MOVING files from one location to another inside "My Documents" while logged in using a domain account WHILE DISCONNECTED from the network. He also changes a few

Hello, i just switched from courier-imap to dovecot on a machine. The transition was painless except for one issue - when using the "Check mail" feature of kmail, one gets the message: "Unable to get information about folder customflags. The server replied: internal error..." So it looks like the server isn't properly hiding the .customflags file for some reason. I

Has anyone seen file corruption with Excel 97 SR1, on Samba? Scotty (scott@dork.com) is running 2.0.7 on SCO 5.0.4 on a Compaq Proliant 800, compiled on SCO 5.0.5 box. He writes, on comp.protocol.smb: > Oh dear. If this is the case does that mean my clients can't use Excel > 97 SR1 on Samba or is there a workaround?

Hello, we're running 2.2.1a on a production server. Lately, it's been giving us troubles. Monday mordning, this moring, and 2 times more during today, samba stopped responding to all requests from Windows (2000) clients. This has happened once before a week ago, and once several weeks ago. Today it seems to be getting much worse. If left un-attended the system will eventually run out of

Hi, I am trying to create two directories using the preexec command but I must be missing something very simple. I just can?t figure out the syntax. How would I continue this so that I could create dir2? preexec = if [ ! -e /home/%U/dir1] then /bin/mkdir /home/%U/dir1; fi Regards Robert ----------------------------------------------------------

Hello, am I correct in thinking that Win2K is not "supposed" to be able to join a Samba 2.0.6 domain? I've been trying to get it to work, but all I get is "the domain doesn't exist or cannot be contacted". If so, which versions of samba does support Win2K-clients in their domain, and which one of those (if there are several) is the most stable? I realize the

Hello all, I have a very annoying situation (at least at my end). I set up Samba 2.0.5 on a Digital UNIX 4.0F system sitting on a Compaq DS20 server with great success.... until recently. I set up three directory file shares with no problems, when I tried to set up a forth, quite a while after setting up the inital three, I tried to access it from a NT box, I got the message server not found,

Hello, recently I read about the SweaveListingUtils package and now I want to try it out. However, I can not make it work... Below a minimal example. The problem seems to be the following line (generated by SweaveListingPreparations()?): \ifthenelse{\boolean{Sweave@gin}}{\setkeys{Gin}{width=0.6\textwidth}}{}% If I comment out this line, it works. What can I do about this? I am using the

I currently have a data set in which gender is inputed as "Male" and "Female" , and I'm trying to convert this into "1" and "0". I found a website which reccomended using two commands: data$scode[data$sex=="M"] <- "1" data$scode[data$sex=="F"] <- "2" to convert to numbers, and: data$scode <-

Hi R users. I've got a problem in producing the pdf file from Latex with R code. When I run the code Sweave("example.Rtex") in R it seems working, but when I run the Latex file it doesn't. The code error shown to me is below: *Runaway argument? {echo=FALSE} data<- read.csv("C:\\Users\\Daniele\\Desktop\\dati\\dati_england ! File ended while scanning use of \FV at

In an Sweave slide, I want to use sem::read.moments() and sem::specify.model(), which work by using scan() to read the following lines, up to the first blank line. However, Sweave throws an error: > Sweave("sem-thurstone.Rnw") Writing to file sem-thurstone.tex Processing code chunks ... 1 : term hide (label=arrests-setup) 2 : echo term hide (label=thurstone-data) Error:

Hi, When I compile the construction \begin{Scode}{eval=FALSE} ?HSP \end{Scode} with Sweave and latex, it outputs in the pdf as, > `?` (HSP) which is not incorrect but a bit more formal than I wanted for demonstrating the use of the help shortcut. I would like the output to look like, > ?HSP but I can't seem to make this work. I have also tried the results=verbatim argument.

( A similar problem is also reported by Sebastian P. Luque with library(maptools) library(trip) in the vignette as below ). I am writing a vignette which loads RMySQL and RPostgreSQL. This produces the warning: Loading required package: DBI Warning in .simpleDuplicateClass(def, prev) : A specification for class ?dbObjectId? in package ?RPostgreSQL? seems equivalent to one from package

Hello, we have just observed a rather annoying behavior one of our servers. Specifically, when writing data to a file on an ext3fs filesystem at around 1.5 MB/sec, network connectivity suddently started to show signs of lag. The ping would spike up to ~1 second every 5 seconds or so. This affects the server in question and all hosts routing traffic through it (i.e., it's not a userland-only

Hello, yesterday we re-installed a file server running samba, among other things. All of /etc was backed up, including MACHINE.SID and secrets.tld. However no matter what we did the Win2K clients just would not 'get' that it's the same server! As a result it goes nuts trying to use the profile. We are not working on manually re-initializing everyone's profile and selectively
