Hi Respected members, I am a student of computer science. I have in my course of study a project to be done. I am interested in doing project related to Samba. I have got one of the ideas for the project. Can anybody be kindly help me regarding this idea? Please do reply about this idea. In the project I am planning to achieve server independency , means ---Consider an organization is having 2 kinds of server SAMBA and VFS, then if a request is made from a Samba client and required file is on VFS server then the request should get satisfied. I will be planning to convert a SAMBA request into a VFS request that is finally be given to the VFS server. The client does not care about the thing that to which server it has made request. Also, I have to make the similar thing in case of VFS client and SAMBA server. In this way it will help the system administrator to achieve a server independency. Can anybody please rate this idea as -------- very simple simple good to do a project very difficult best one don't do such project. If the ideas is not up to the mark, can anybody please send me a good idea for the project. Please!!!! Thank You. Regards, Amar. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When you say VFS, I think of Virtual File Systems such as used by the kernel or similar to the one we use internally to smbd. It sounds like you want to have Samba act as a protocol proxy (which is doable). But until i understand exactly what you want to proxy to, I can't really comment any more. cheers, jerry - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "If we're adding to the noise, turn off this song"--Switchfoot (2003) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBPEeSIR7qMdg1EfYRAuycAKDgfxMhOmtwFUSGlewwgOnMsg3oEACgs6DV E/xuQoCyKN2ABySiqPxIMHk=h1ZW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hello , in first sorry for my poor english i've got some questions - I wanted to know in which measure it was possible for a user to change his password on several servers from Windows 2000 I explain: the toto user authenticates on serveur1 domaine1 (his machine, Windows 2000 is thus integrated in domaine1.) but this user has access to resources situated on serveur2 How can he modify his password on serveur2 from his machine, which by default proposes him as only choice of connection only serveur1. ---------------------------------- - The same user toto has access to a share without restriction (public) but i would like to create in this share a directory protected by a login/password as htaccess with apache. i don't know how to do i create a new share with the option "valid user= tiptop", the user tiptop exist in passwd and smbpasswd but on my w2000 when i'm logged as "pascal" i cant access to this share with the new name "tiptop" and new password ---------------------------------- - does anybody knows how limit simultaneous login by a unique user (preexec maybe??) thank you ---------------------------------- - the last, how is it possible to make a share where users can write but cant read. I tried to make this like that : first i create a directory whith these permission : 773 then in my smb.conf i write a new share : path = /home/partages/echanges/directory browsable = no admin users = adminuser read only = no after some test it works fine with windows 98 clients but not with windows 2000 clients All this with the version 3.0.2 of samba thank you and good day -- Pascal Legrand *IUT de Chartres* - _Service Informatique_ 1 place Pierre Mend?s France - 28000 Chartres Tel: 02 37 91 83 36 - Fax: 02 37 91 83 01 Pascal.Legrand@univ-orleans.fr
