I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

Hi, I have a client connected to the ''net through 3 ISP''s. Have set up a Linux box to do routing and load sharing for the 3 connections. A fourth interface is connected to the LAN with private IP addresses. Am using iptables to SNAT traffic to the appropriate IP depending on the interface the packet gets routed onto. The setup looks something like this: Interface IP

I''ve been reading about multipath routes and found something that no howto I saw mentioned so far: multipath algorithms. The kernel has the followings: # zgrep MULTIPATH_ /proc/config.gz CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_RR=m CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_RANDOM=m CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_WRANDOM=m CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_DRR=m CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_EMC iproute2

Scenario (everything samba-3): - many subnets, each with a BDC - one PDC somewhere else - one WINS at that PDC server - windows using wins first, bcast next (node-type 8) When one workstation asks the wins server about the <1c> netbios name type, the server will answer with the PDC and BDCs IP. What prevents the workstation from using a controller outside its subnet? Is this

Are roaming profiles compatible between windows xp pro and windows 2k professional? I'm having some issues with wallpapers, for example: they don't get applied.

Everybody encourages Samba admins to enable WINS whenever possible, and I agree that it helps a lot to solve these networks' problems. It's so good that, when it fails, it's a disaster. How are people coping with the samba limitation of not being able to replicate the WINS database and thus its inability to have more than one WINS server in a domain?

I''m using tc from iproute-2.6.15 with a 2.6.12 kernel. I was testing the effects of the burst parameter in a tbf qdisc. Basically, I was testing this statement from the tc-tbf(8) manpage: "If your buffer is too small, packets may be dropped because more tokens arrive per timer tick than fit in your bucket. The minimum buffer size can be calculated by dividing the rate by HZ."

The docs[1][2] suggest it''s 1024, but tc says something else: # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 1kbps latency 50ms burst 1500 # tc -s qdisc ls dev eth0 qdisc tbf 8009: rate 8000bit burst 1499b lat 48.8ms ^^^^^^^ Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 If 1k were 1024, then I would have 8192bit above.

In this simple htb setup: # tc -s -d class ls dev eth0 class htb 1:1 root rate 300000bit ceil 300000bit burst 1749b/8 mpu 0b overhead 0b cburst 1749b/8 mpu 0b overhead 0b level 7 Sent 13171835 bytes 13169 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 45848bit 10pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 lended: 5272 borrowed: 0 giants: 0 tokens: -84429 ctokens: -84429 class htb 1:2 parent 1:1 prio 0

Attached is a graph obtained with ethereal where after time +/-45s there is a rebounce which I can''t explain. Setup is this: - my machine starts to generate traffic at maximum speed against a target machine (using nc < /dev/zero here and nc -l > /dev/null there) - traffic pattern is: 0s: dst port 2500 (red) 20s: dst port 8000 (blue) 40s: kill port 2500 traffic 60s: kill

(using htb) I''m trying to learn tc filter and it seems the flowid parameter can only point to leaf classes. Actually, it can point anywhere, but it doesn''t seem to work unless it points to a leaf class. Is this correct? For example, I have this tree: eth0 | +------1:-------+ | | +------1:10 1:20 | |

Kernel people tell me users should never need to know the value of HZ used by the currently running kernel. One kernel hacker even told me that Linus once changed the value from 100 to 1000 just to see user space programs break. However, it is needed for the buffer parameter in TBF. The tc-tbf(8) manpage: If your buffer is too small, packets may be dropped because more tokens arrive per timer

I was wondering how people sync the roaming profiles in an environment with a PDC and multiple BDCs. Are profiles better stored in another server (a member server) instead of the xDC? I could use rsync from the PDC to the BDC, but that doesn't work the other way around, i.e., when a user logs in via a BDC whatever changes they make won't go back to the PDC. Unless the profile is: - always

samba-3.0.21c, heimdal-0.7.2 The heimdal documentation[1] talks about a samba integration when both samba and heimdal are using ldap as their backends. I quote: "Now you can proceed as in See Using LDAP to store the database. Heimdal will pick up the Samba LDAP entries if they are in the same search space as the Kerberos entries." There is absolutely no further documentation. I tried

With the below script, whenever I ping 10.0.16.10 (which matches the only filter I have), traffic still get''s sent to the default 1:2 class instead of 1:1 and I don''t know why... Any hints?
