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, 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

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 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

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 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, I've got a few users I'm trying to migrate from a Mercury Mail server to a dovecot IMAP/POP3 setup. I was hoping to use some sort of imap-copy type script to move email from the Mercury server to dovecot server, but the Mercury box is running so slow it's impossible. Mercury stores mail in a similar way to Maildirs, different folders with separate files for each mail, stored

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

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

Hi ! POP3-RFC (1939) speaks about UIDL command: The unique-id of a message is an arbitrary server-determined string, consisting of one to 70 characters in the range 0x21 to 0x7E, which uniquely identifies a message within a maildrop and which persists across sessions. When I issue an UIDL command (dovecot 0.99.10.9) I get replies like 1 1093990148.1 2 1093990148.2 3 1093990148.3 ... . You see

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

I wish to realize a file-server with SAMBA integrated in my network domain (Windows NT4 PDC). To manage the user access for each share in the Samba file-server, I would use Active Control Lists. Anyone can tell me - what type and version of Linux is best for my purpose ? - what Samba version is best to use ? Thanks. Marco

I have a share I can't seem to create files on, and I can't figure out why. I get "Access denied" from Windows, and the samba log shows this: [2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293) open_directory: failing create on read-only share [2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293) open_directory: failing create on read-only share The share has the

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

Samba List: Is it possible to limit what filename extensions can be stored in a samba share? We use samba to allow our windows web designers to use drag and drop when deploying new pages on our website. We want to be able to limit which filename extensions can be saved to these shares. Is this possible and if not and alternatives? Bruce Embrey

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
