Hi all, I'm trying to make a script that will shut down a couple of Windows boxes from a Linux machine with Samba. If I use "net rpc shutdown -I <windows-ip> -U administrator" it works fine, except that I get prompted for the password. After looking through "man net" I can't seem to find a way to include the password (I tried "-U

Hi all, I''ve been trying to do the above and read everything I can find on Google on the subject, but something seems to be going wrong. I tried the following sample rules in iptables (initially I just set the first one, but I added more as my desperation escalated): iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p icmp -j MARK --set-mark 1 iptables -A FORWARD -p icmp -j MARK --set-mark 1

Hi all, Sorry if this is out of place, but I've seen people suggesting future functionality for Dovecot on here before. TBH I'm not completely sure if this would be possible in a LDA. Demon (an ISP) have extensions to POP3 they call "SDPS" - there's basically an extra command that can be called for an email and it gives the envelope rcpt and from addresses. I was

Hi, I've just noticed something strange in dovecot 0.99.10.5. I created some IMAP folders from the command line (mkdir .INBOX.Folder1) as a different user to the owner of the mailbox. Obviously when I tried to view them via IMAP I got an error message, but the message to the client was "internal error[date time]" where date and time appeared to be the current date and time. Is

Hi all, This is probably a silly question, but I have a problem. I've had to move my users maildirs from: maildir:/home/%u/.Maildir To maildir:/data/mail/%u I've updated the MTA to put mail to the correct place and it's working fine. I've also changed the dovecot.conf file and restarted dovecot and I thought that would be all I needed to do. However, the users are getting

You're kinda confusing things there. A single physical network could span multiple IP networks, and a single IP network doesn't have to be restricted to one physical network. Do you mean that you want to use a single server to serve to two separate workgroups both of which are using the same physical hardware and IP network? If so, then I don't believe so, but I could be wrong.

Hi everyone, I'm about to install a Samba PDC in a network that previously was working as a workgroup. All the users have been logging into their local machines as "administrator" and all with the same password. What I would really like to do is to move their profiles with them, but as they are all using the same username and the like I can see this is going to cause problems. So

Hi all, I''ve done a search through the archives but I can''t find a cause/solution to this. I''m running a FC4 box with the stock 2.6.12 kernel and a FC2 box with a stock 2.6.9 kernel. I''m obviously using iproute2 and the patched tc. When I clear down the qdiscs with "tc qdisc del dev <DEV> root" I get the following in response to "tc

Hi all, This is probably a silly question, but is there an easy way to get the dovecot executable to report it's version number?

Hi all, I''ve not been able to find an explanation of the relationship between prio and rate as they apply to the HTB technique. Hopefully someone on here will be able to help me. As I understand things, when prio values are assigned to an HTB setup, classes with a given prio value will only be serviced when there are no packets waiting in classes with a lower prio value. Now, does

Hi all, I'm going to be out of office for the next week (starting in the next hour or so) and I need to unsubscribe (I'm sure you don't want my out of office replies really) Can anyone help me by saving me the time it'll take to lookup the unsubscribe/resubscribe details?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone's seen anything like this?

ARGH! I'm wondering if airing thoughts about VFAT performance publicly was a good idea. I was only interested from a technical point of view - I would NOT recommend using it on a production server unless there happened to be a real case for using it. The biggest thing to bear in mind in your case is that VFAT does NOT support ACLs or disk quotas. It also doesn't support journalling and

I believe if your samba server is a member in one of the workgroups and there is a trust relationship between it and the other workgroup then you can configure samba to allow from the other workgroup in effect serving both workgroups.

Automated update system supplied with Fedora. Kinda like the RHN, but free and more up to date version-wise, but without the package checking done by Redhat. If you're running Fedora and it's installed, typing "yum update <package name>" will update a package to the latest version on your downloads site (it defaults to download.fedora.redhat.com), yum install <package

Hi all, I've got a setup with a single UPS serving three servers. The main server is a Windows box and there is also a Linux mail server. The UPS is a APC SmartUPS connected to the main Windows box. The software we're using on the Windows machine will not shut down the Linux box when there's a power outage. Not a problem as all the clients would already be disconnected and I'm

Hello All, I recently upgraded to Redhat AS3 from an older 7.3 installation. With samba 3 (3.0.2-6.3E is the rpm version), I've been seeing activity that wasn't present before. Every 15 minutes (within a few seconds accuracy), I receive an alert from our SonicWall (firewall appliance) reporting that a "Malformed IP packet dropped." where the source was the upgraded server, and

Okay, here is the set up. I have Outlook set up to keep mail on the server for 5 days. At some point I started downloading all my mail that was on the server over and over again, even though I already have the mail. The weird thing is that it did not download all the mail, just a few. For example it would download 6 messages, then 18, then 12, etc! After I tried it a few times I had 50 of the same

Is there a procedure for installing and configuring SAMBA 3.0 for a Windows 2000 server so as to share files from the Windows 2000 server for Sun Solaris 8 workstations? Thanks, Larry

dear list members how can i restrict access to samba with the "hosts allow" configuration for only part of a subnet without having to list all the individual ip-numbers? e.g. we have the subnet 123.123.123.1 - 123.123.123.512 and i would like that only the hosts with the ip numbers between 123.123.123.237-123.123.123.319 have access. how can i do this? all hostnames have the
