Hi All, I don't use gmail/hotmail etc... I have been a Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird user for ever now... The mail and folders are all on my private fileserver. But on certain tours, I do know in advance that I would like IMAP access to my mail folders. Nothing but the simplest read-only access to the years of accumulated email. (All that email was soft-mounted onto /mnt/mail for safety and

[tmp] comment = Temporary file space revalidate = true path = /tmp read only = no public = yes force user = root This works for me on win98 too! Is there a 'guest' unix account? What can that account do?

We have been looking for a way to notify our users when they are running low on disk quota, without sending them mail. WinPopup actually seemed like the best way, so my partner began looking at feeding quota output into smbclient -M when quota was getting tight. The only problem is that smbclient -M frequently fails to find the client's host name. The -I parameter will often fix it, but I am

Hi! I'm new on the list, so please, be patient with me! I have a problem for wich I can't find the answer in the FAQ. Until recently I was running a 16 PC-s network with SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 and Samba 1.9.16p11 on the server and mixed clients (Win 3.11 to Win 95 OSR2). The users on the network have access to a PUBLIC directory on they own user directories on the server without

I had win95 and things were really nice with an old version of Samba. But I was forced to upgrade to Win98 for reasons that are outside the topic of this digest. I can CREATE / DELETE directories with Capital letters, but cannot touch any with mixed case or lower case. Please note that we are dealing with directories ALREADY on linux, which are being server to Win98 client. Also, all files with

To the Samba Developers :- Maybe you can allow for old+new methods of authentication in your newer releases :- <<psuedo-CODE>> // consider FIRST that the passwd passed is cleartext // then use old method... of NOT using smbpasswd for authentication. // I guess you would use that in the UNIX crypt system call & match with /etc/passwd // if that failed to authorize, DO

Jan, You are NOT going to get better performance out of Samba, because your clients are NOT microsoft-born. The UNIX machines are better off with NFS. If the networked-file system (similar to the expansion of NFS, but NOT the same) is slow, you need 100Mbps cards and excellent RAID file systems. I heard that if clients are transferring extremely large files (> 1meg) then the total time
