Hi, I?ve installed fedora core 2 with samba 3.0.X. The pc is a PDC and I?ve configured samba like I could see in this easy manual: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6684 (before this, I write for each pc : adduser -g "group" -d /dev/null -s /dev/null netbiosname$ > smbpasswd -a -m netbiosname ) My domain admin group is called smbadmins. I only have two kind of groups which login in the domain, scc (user domain) an...

I just saw this mentioned on OSNews: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/db2onrails?open&S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=GR&ca=dgr-lnxw07awdb2onrails (or http://tinyurl.com/o9npt) From that page: <quote> What is Starter Toolkit for DB2 on Rails?

...and Radio "sightings" and there's no linkable stuff, a short description (Where? Which station? What was said?) would be great. A more common interface to the wiki (like: You can edit stuff yourself) is still in the discussion. Oh, and I don't think several distrowatch pages or osnews will count. But I can be convinced otherwise :) Oh, and please - don't go backwards through your browsers history (well okay, if you have something *really* great, do so - a link to the Tuttle video with a date would be in this category). I'd like to start from now. Cheers, Ralph -- Ra...

...o it's time to think about the next stable release. Unless some major problems come up, 1.1.44 will be the last of the 1.1.x series. The next release will be 1.2-rc1, which will mark the beginning of the code freeze. This should result in a 1.2 final sometime in June."

Hi All, Loving Dovecot after several years with Cyrus. This might be more a general question, but this seemed the best place to ask. The idea is to just add up all the values of quotes I've sent in a month. I want to search my Sent mail folder for all messages with a certain subject, then "grep" out a certain line that has a dollar ($) figure, and add up those figures. The idea

...ril 18th as well. 6) The release will be posted on our website on April 20th and the website will be modified to display the correct release numbers. Additionally, we are looking for volunteers to submit release announcements to various technical news organizations to help spread the word (i.e. osnews, slashdot, etc.) Lastly, if anyone is interested in writing an article highlighting some feature of LLVM 1.7, please let us know. Thanks, Tanya Lattner

Hi, My TV isn't big enough to read text when browsing websites (we sit far away) and flash performance is awful at 1920x1080. So I'm looking into ways to decrease the desktop resolution. But my TV (Samsung 46" F series) only supports 1920x1080 via the VGA connector - any lower resolution and it jumps to 1280x1024 which is 4:3 and makes widescreen flash content play squashed.

New to list sorry if this has been address but didn't see it in recent archives. FC1 with Samba 3.0.2 I had an older RH73 system running samba 2 on it and recent moved up to FC and samba 3. Most everything transfered over well. I just took my smb.comf from the old system and put it on the new system and then ran swat making sure I didn't forget anything. Restarted server and wow... It

...don't know that. I really need to stop. I'm just starting to rant. Let's take this somewhere else. If it is going to take people to make the standard extension maybe we should branch out of our little Vorbis mailing list world. Go to Hydrogen Audio, go to /., I even think people at OSNews.com would be interested in this. The Helix community might have some interest also. I talked to a friend about this recently that has had his own indie record label for about 8 years now and he even he thinks it is totally ridiculous. I do web design and php and have my own hosting (although if...

I see Intel has released a new tool. Oh, it requires some patches to the kernel to record latency times. Good thing people don''t mind patching their kernels, eh? So who can write the equivalent latencytop.d the fastest? ;-) http://www.latencytop.org/ -- cburgess at qnx.com

Hello All, I want to ask about CentOS and money. Please do not start some kind of shitstorm over this, it isn't productive. I have just been looking at archive.org to see when the paypal option went missing from the donate menu at centos.org. I can't pin it down, but it was there on October 16, 2010 and isn't now, so that's the information I have on that point. There was a

I'm attempting to join a Samba 3.0.4 domain on a Debian linux box, with a Windows XP client. Problems 1) Can only get the join to work if I use the root account. On Win2k I can use any account in the Domain Admins group. 2) The join succeeds, the unix account and the smb account are created but the smb account is disabled, and the password contains all XXXXs. Joining the domain works

I just joined this list, have info to share, and some questions. As background, I happen to be a blind person who uses a screen reader utility to operate the computer. I use the keyboard rather than mouse for input and the screen reader, called JAWS, provides output in synthetic speech. This generally works well for standard or common controls of Windows, which WxWidgets wraps (since they are
