In the past I've set up a pdf creation utility for windows users based on the info from http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html I.E I've got [pdf-printer] path = /tmp printable = yes guest ok = yes print command = /usr/bin/printpdf %s comment = PDF Writer In my smb.conf and have created a print queue on the windows machine with a postscript driver. The windows box submits...

Hi, I'd like to put my servers' config files in cvs to make it easier to manage (yes, I know about Cfengine). I've been looking for a tutorial and I could find any, and since I'm not a CVS guru, I tried a few things, without even knowing if I'm doing it right. Any hints? Regards, -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail. I read the list.

I am a rank newb at this and I appologize, I would have dumped MS long ago but I am not any kind of a coder, so having to write scripts and such is out for me. I really want to dump everything microsoft.....but I have to be able to run Adobe Photoshop 7 and CS4......why do I keep PS7...because I can't get a lot of the plug-ins I use for any thing above 7 and a lot of the ones I can I have to

Hi, all. I'm trying to create a PDF queue... or, rather, I already have a homebrew solution I hacked together with an lprng filter, and it doesn't work too well. The solution at www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html, which uses the smb.conf and "print command" paramaters, appears to be much more elegant, but has one major shortfall: I don't see any way to get the filename of the file I'm printing. The jobname gives me: For websites: the URL (which is great) For apps...

...Hyperterm or something)? Am I mistaken in the whole concept of linking a USB device to a com port? Any and all suggestions would be highly appreciated; I've lost many, many hours to beating my head against this particular brick wall. -- * Ben Okopnik * Editor-in-Chief, Linux Gazette * http://LinuxGazette.NET *

Hello Everyone, I have a slight issue with configuring a PDF printer on my Samba servers. I have input the following into my smb.conf file and it does create the printer as well as work to create PDF files, except that it only functions when "printing" to that printer via Excel 2002. If I attempt it with anything else, even the Windows Test print, it fails. Now, in the Windows

Hi, I've heard that for Dovecot/Mailir systems there are filesystems that are optimised for the situation of many small files in one folder. Could I possibly have some feedback on what the recommended filesystems are? I've heard of ReiserFS but was wondering what other options there are and how they compare. If I get a good comprehensive response I'll build a wiki summary page

Hello to all. I want to use winbind to automatically create email accounts. I've added several linux boxes to our win2k3 AD and working pretty well (more in a new post about this). When I create a new user on the win2k3 box, users can access various shares on the linux boxes, as it should be. I also have a sendmail server sitting in a DMZ. I have to create the email user account on

Hallo Andrew, thanks for the answer (for the hints in particular, I'm new on samba mailing list), I'm working on a fax server based on the original implamentation of Pedro Fraile you can read all the particular here: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue79/fraile.html The goal of "my" fax server implementation: Users authentication via samba/winbind/pam Automatic creation of the mailbox for the users of the domain (only for internal use with smbfax... because for corporete directive I can't connect sendmail to our exchange...

..."print command": "With printing = cups, and if SAMBA is compiled against libcups, any manually set print command will be ignored." My PDF printer relies on a print command field (print command = /usr/bin/printpdf %s) as recommended in the PDF printer howto here: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html So is it possible to use CUPS and a "print command" in the same Samba server? Why are print commands ignored anyway? Thanks in advance for any responses. -Tom

Hi All, I'm wondering about something that seems a bit odd. I've setup a CentOS 4 box for a client that is "still" using dial-up and to activate the connection appears to require root privileges. Why is this? The reason Linux was loaded on this box was to provide a very functional box that could be easily locked down so when the cat was away the mice couldn't play,

Gang, I've got to admit, what really sold me on debian was apt-get. And I've been resisting getting up to speed with yum. So, can any of ya point me to a good starter page, maybe one with migrators like me in mind?

Hello =) I got some problem configuring a pdf printer and make windows to download automagically drivers from [print$] share on my samba 3.0.1 server. Well, I've configured a pdf printer (based on this doc: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html), tested it and it works pretty well =) To install the printer on windows side, I connect to the host, browse to samba server, right-click on the printer and select "connect". Windows then ask me to install appropriate drivers. I choose postscript drivers and inst...

Hi all, I've tried researching this, and so far, have struggled to find any contemporary information on the issue, so I do apologise if asking this irritates people who have answered this before. I have managed to set up Asterisk 1.8 on the web server here. I have two softphones (Ekiga) able to communicate with it. So far so good. I'm now curious to see if I can link it with the PSTN
