Hi. I am running 3.0.20. 1. I would like to have an include statement pointing to user configurations. For a user, say 'mike', the following works: include = /home/mike/smb.conf But this does not: include = /home/%u/smb.conf I am using a very simple config with 'security = user'. What am I doing wrong? I cannot get any log feedback from this ('testparm' says

Hi all, we are just beginning to dive into rsync. I have limited experience with just playing around with the examples and reading all the docs that I can. I just read an interesting post from a developer that mentions cwrsync is a minimalistic rsync and thus things like permissions are not transfered, the post was from 2004. Here are my questions Windows (cw)Rsync Client --> Linux Rsync

Hi folks. Running rsync on Slackware. I'm going over the man pages yet some aspects remain murky. Hopefully someone can set me straight. 1. The --rsh option, The man page explains that you can invoke a single-transfer daemon if you want some features that a daemon provides: $ rsync -av --rsh=ssh host::module /dest The it says that you need to slap on an ssh user if the daemon/module

I sync some client stations to a central server at the discretion of the users. They run a single-transfer daemon by logging in via their ssh accounts. All is well. Now I also allow a certain user to rsync this accumulated client data (which end up as subdirectories of a single directory on the server) to an external hard drive. This user connects via ssh and runs a remote shell script on the

Hi gang. I am running cwRsync on Windows XP systems and synching to a FreeBSD server. One user uses unicode because he needs Chinese characters. During a synchronization I get many "file has vanished" messages; the filename contains question marks. Is there any way to deal with this?

Hi. Running Samba 3.0.20 on Slackware 10.2. I cannot hide my unix dot files (.bash_history) using the 'hide files' or 'veto files' settings: hide files = /.*/ { or just .* } Also, how do I get rid of the printer folder in the top level of my share? -- Peter __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca

Hi, I'm using 3.0.21b and I cannot get the guest account to work. some of smb.conf: ------------------------------ security = user hosts allow = 192.168.2. 127. guest account = visiteur log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/samba.%m max log size = 1024 socket options = TCP_NODELAY [publique] path = /vol2/samba/publique browseable = yes guest ok = yes

I have a new PDC ready to replace an older one (which is using LDAP locally). The new one will be using tdbsam. I plan to first change LDAP on the existing system to the tdbsam backend and ensure proper functioning. I understand I can use the pdbedit tool to make this change. Comments? At this point I would like to ask how profiles (which will be stored locally on the clients) will be

I would like to be able to change between backends but I'm worried that my users will encounter trouble loggin in. So I'm looking for reassurance that my command is ok. My current configuration is: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://10.10.10.10 smbpasswd guest I would like to change from ldap to tdbsam. Is this the command to use: # pdbedit -i ldapsam:ldap://10.10.10.10 -e tdbsam I

Hi folks, I have a win2k acting as rsync client (I installed cwrsync) and FreeBSD 5.4 acting as rsync server and I'm having trouble with basic usage. ------------------------------ My /etc/rsyncd.conf: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [antec_win2k_mike] path = /vol3/antec_win2k_mike uid = nobody gid = nobody read only

An inherited system has the following configuration: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://10.10.10.10 smbpasswd guest What is the purpose of using multiple backends? The smb.conf man page simply states that each backend will be searched in turn but why would one ever use such a setup? Secondly, the man page does not mention the 'guest' backend. To me such a backend implies that an

Hi gang. I am synchronizing Windows machines (cwRsync/cygwin) with FreeBSD server. A batch file is used to initiate the process (shell invoked rsync daemon). My question is whether I need to tell my users to close any affected applications (ex: Outlook; I am synchronizing the outlook.pst file) during the procedure?

I have inherited a Samba server and would like to migrate the installation to a new machine. We are using Samba as a PDC and my currrent worry is what users will see on their desktop (as well as other changes?) once they log on to the new server. As a test I have logged on with my laptop (running WinXP virtually) and I get a completely blank desktop (with the exception of the trash can). Will
