Hi, I'm setting up a few machines for virtualization using Xen on Centos 5.2 x86_64. A lot of how-to's out there tell me to do something like "mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled" or similar actions or else Xen might not work correctly. Is this something that is still relevant or does it only apply to older versions of Xen/Centos? If this is still necessary...

Hello all, I am new to the list and am in need of some assistance: Does anyone have a current solution that they are using to synchronize the smbpasswd's on samba 3.0 with their local /etc/shadow passwords on RedHat 3.0 ES?

I was told recently that Kerberos authentication won't work against a non-windows KDC. Is that accurate? So for instance, it is not possible for Samba running on say RHEL, to authenticate against a Linux server running MIT Kerberos? Additionally, many people said that setting this up was well-doc...
