I use winbind+AD for single sign-on to many Linux machines, and the Linux hosts automount home directories on one Linux file server. I am faced with a need to synchronize the *.tdb files on the file server with all the Linux machines for consistent UID-to-loginID mapping. Has this been tried by sharing the /var/lib/samba/ over nfs with the other servers? Are there any pitfalls? Has this been tried by a regularly scheduled copy over the network? Does anyone have a how-to or notes for a better approach?

Hi, I need some help from you guys for one issue I am facing with my script. While logging into localhost using ssh from command prompt it works: It works from command prompt --> ssh loginid at localhost But when we try to login to localhost using ssh from perl script using pseudo terminal, I am getting the following without any password prompt. We are getting following instead of password prompt: Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission d...

...to figure out if/how to do this. Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the user's real name? During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that for my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue as to their identity, it would be nice to turn those IDs into the user's actual name so I know who is doing what. I've been playing with wbinfo which seemed like a good place to start, but no joy there. I'm looking for GECOS info, not the user's UID...

There is a samba compiled without winbind support, with the following options configured: workgroup = MYDOMAIN security = domain allow trusted domains = yes add user script = /usr/sbin/pw useradd %u -m -Y -M 755 When a Windows user MYDOMAIN\john connects to the samba server, he is mapped to the Unix user john. If there is no Unix user "john", it is created by the add user script. How

...winbind functionality is configured. The configuration options are briefly described here: Winbind is not used; users and groups are local: Where winbindd is not used Samba (smbd) uses the underlying UNIX/Linux mechanisms to resolve the identity of incoming network traffic. This is done using the LoginID (account name) in the session setup request and passing it to the getpwnam() system function call. This call is implemented using the name service switch (NSS) mechanism on modern UNIX/Linux systems. By saying "users and groups are local," we are implying that they are stored only on the...

...to go with multiple client datasets stored in one database is there an easy way for active record to limit result sets by login id or client id? Obviously it would make a large difference in development time if you could use something like Customer.find_by_name vs Customer.find (search by name and loginid or some other restriction to the dataset). I know this example is trivial but there will be a lot of queries to the database that will have to restrict the data based on who is logged in and this will all add up. 3. And finally a question about REST. Does anybody know if the original philosophy o...

...more detail about what happened might be useful. Samba version: 2.2.5 Distro: SuSE 8.1 Kernel: 2.4.19 (custom kernel, not the one from the distro) Print manager: cups v1.1.15 Partner: Windows XP Professional What you see: Log in to WinXP as an ordinary user (with admin privileges). This user (by loginID) has a UNIX account and is in the group listed in "printer admin".

My Cisco 7905 can't register with Asterisk (1.0.7-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC7k on Debian stable). It could, however, register with another installation of Asterisk and the settings on the phone (apart from the SIP proxy address) haven't changed since then. On the new Asterisk box my sip.conf contains this: [jeremy] type=friend regexten=801 allow=g729 host=dynamic secret=PASSWORD nat=yes

Hello, we experience problems with dovecot configuration using the listescape plugin to allow dots in foldernames. In some mail clients, dot-containing folders won't show any subfolders. This seems to be related to the fact that the \HasNoChildren flag is set on such folders even if subfolders do exits. Here is an example from telnet session: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/"
