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

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

...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

I found this reference quickly from google describing the previous behavior. Winbind was always optional

Hi all I am hoping that the experience and knowledge of this ''list'' will be able to help me out with some design decisions I have to make while porting a desktop app to rails. Here is the scoop: I am in the design process of porting a fairly large client/server app to rails. Average data set is about 200 MB per database/server. Altogether there are about 100 tables and about

The described solution worked for me too: add to /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] disable

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) "/"
