ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites rpcclient and samedit etc. on sun ultras were failing because getopt cannot be reused. evidence of this is by doing a samedit "createuser username -p password" and the reported password on-screen is total garbage. this was fixed by using the GNU getopt and getopt_long functions (hooray!) in the same way that rsync does. i have access to a sun ultra 5, now, and have confirmed that TNG can have workstations joined to the domain, and that usrmgr works, and the passwords created etc on it all work. luke <a href=" mailto:lkcl@samba.org" > Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton </a> <a href=" http://cb1.com/~lkcl" > Samba and Network Development </a> <a href=" http://samba.org" > Samba Web site </a> <a href=" http://mcp.com" > Macmillan Technical Publishing </a> ISBN1578701503 DCE/RPC over SMB: Samba and Windows NT Domain Internals
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: I've got a Samba server providing file & print services for a bunch of Windows clients, and am using it as a primary domain controller. Works quite well. I noticed, however, in the browse list that a given user's home directory wasn't showing up (eg. "frampton"). So I added a "browseable = yes" option inside of [Homes]. This does result in a user's home directory but also displays "Home" (for which contents are identical to whatever is stored in user's home directory). D'oh! [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writable = yes Ideas? - --------------< LINUX: The choice of a GNU generation. >-------------- Steve Frampton <frampton@j-com.co.jp> Japan Communications, Inc.
