...o test openning session. When I log for the first time, my user get a local profile, when I log out the profile is correctly saved on the fileserver (on /SAMDOM/Profiles/foo.V2 like configured in smb.conf and user infos). When I log for the second time, my user get a new local profile which is sync'ed again on the fileserver.... I've repeated the login/logout process many many times.... same behaviour.... new local profile->sync'ed->new local profile->sync'ed..... If anybody have an idea don't hesitate !

This message describes (imho) a behaviour bug in rsync. I'm going to submit a patch, but before I dive into the code I want to know what the actual desired behaviour should be. In other words, please comment. I have some directories I want to keep synchronised between two machines (call them "master" and "backup"). Every n...

Hi, I run a little router/firewall that also acts as a print server for the linux and win98 clients on the LAN. I have the harddisk configured so that if there is little activity, it spins down (hdparm -S 12 /dev/hda). I added smbd/nmbd today and with the two services running, the hard disk drive spins down but wakes up about every 12 minutes. Without the services, only a major event causes them

Heya, I'm new to this particular area of linux admin, and I noticed the behaviour of the new samba CIFS's linux driver. The only problem was that the user and group ID's of the files in the mounted directories were rather strange, as these ID's were not in sync between the server and the client. My question is how do I keep them in sync, how I would deal with, say, a laptop roaming between two different networks. I am also concerned about the security implications - to me, it appears that every single computer must be trusted, and thus, no-body but t...

Can somebody give me a quick education on sync'ing users, passwords and groups between 2 linux servers. Im using Redhat 7.1 as PDC and BDC using Samba. I want to sync mainly /etc/passwd, /etc/smbpasswd, /etc/group to get a consistancy going in the domain... please guide me sync'ing passwords between them ..BOTH WAYS.....if a user ch...

Hi there, I have three S4 servers running as AD DCs. In order to keep the sysvol share in sync I'm using crontab to run the following command: /usr/bin/rsync -PavAX --delete root@<masterPDC>:/var/lib/samba/sysvol/ /var/lib/samba/sysvol/ However everytime this command is run a couple of extra smbd processes are started on the <masterPDC> (between 2 and 5 processes) which...

...tabase is properly replicated to a MySQL database that the MDA & MTA read and vice versa. I can't simply configure both to read the openLDAP files because of 3rd party sfw that would integrate with MySQL making the MySQL a requirement. However, I don't want to risk things getting out of sync, where a user I created in samba doesn't have a valid email account, or a user I deleted DOES have a vailid email account. And if a user changes their password on their own on one side, I need to make sure the change is copied to the other side. I'm perfectly content to write my own soluti...

Is it possible to do live backups of a running DB with rsync??? I was just talking to livevault.com & they (only on win boxes) say they can grab changes from a client's live DB & sync them remotely. It sounded like BS to me, but I'm neither a DB guy or sync'ing expert. Steve Mallett

Hi - is there a clever way to identify files that have been change on the local _and_ the remote location? Without such a check it may happen, that changes are lost without even noticing. One way to identify such files would be to do a dry-run upsync, then a dry-run downsync, find files that would have been sync'ed in both dry- runs, and then prompt the user for some action. Is anybody aware of a shell script doing this, or is there an other clever way to solve that issue? Thanks, and best regards, Kurt

All, I have two fat32 formatted external drives (on the localhost) that need sync'ing. Each of the drives contain different files. The end result I'm looking for is two identical disks. My question is whether or not I can encapsulate this process in a one liner with rsync or if i need to make two independent calls to rsync as follows: rsync -av /path/to/source /path/to...

I've set up a 1GB tmpfs filesystem on a system with a single IDE disk and 2GB's of memory. I'm storing a large amount of RRD files (~300MB) on the tmpfs filesystem to make their generation a bit speedier... this part works great. However, I want to rsync these files over from time to time to a directory on the local filesystem (same physical server). I'm using rsync 2.6.4pre3 and am hoping to understand a bit better what is happening. When I run rsync -av /path/to/tmpfs /path/to/diskdir things move along pretty fast for while, then there'...

Howdy, I am just starting to use rsync and now have an rsync server set up to back up our various machines. I recently started getting an error that is confusing and I can't find info documented on it. I searched the news group and found it mentioned but no solution yet. I get the error when sync'ing from a Solaris 8 machine to...

Hello,     I'm never certain if it's best to stop samba when running a fix or check on the DB. Is there a rule of thumb for this? In a multi DC environment is it best to run on one DC and have it replicate the fixes? I never find this to be the case BTW or I may not be waiting long enough. Thanks. -- -- James

I just r-sync'ed the r-devel version of R-1.7.0 (2003-03-11), compiled it under RH-8.0 and ran make check. The reg-tests-2 fails at the very end with the message stating that "object cement was not found". It looks like this piece of the regression test is new to version 1.7. The the piece of co...
