If you really want to do this the asterisk list is based off of mailman. You can learn all about mailman here: http://list.org/ But really, what are the odds that newbs will know to go there first? Are you going to moderate it? Someone has to actually answer the questions you know, if a newb only list is going to exist. Look, don't answer lame questions if you don't want to. Flaming a

I'm trying to set up a Linux-based dialin server on our company network. I'd like to have PPP authenticate using winbindd, if possible. I feel like I've almost gotten it to work, but I can't quite get there. Files: /etc/pam.d/ppp: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account required

I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't figure it out. After a printing system upgrade, my old PDF-writer script (which acted as an lp input filter) stopped working. I took this as an opportunity to rewrite it to work straight from Samba. But I'm having an odd problem -- I can't find Samba's job file. Here's the entry: [pdf2] path = /export/spool

Before I go and try to write something myself, I'm curious if anyone has a script that they're using for setting and clearing the MWI on a legacy PBX. I need to pick up a Zap channel and dial #63XXX to set the MWI, or #64XXX to clear it, where XXX is the extension number. One complication is that I've got a couple dozen extensions to handle the MWI for, and only four channels to work

Hi, I'd like to reduce the size of the samba binaries. smbd for instance is about 1.5 meg, which is way to much if you ask me. Is there a way to create smaller binaries, maybe by compiling differently? thanx, Dennis ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Okay, this is a recurring problem that really has me frustrated. I have a samba server that's using security=server. There are four people who use it. It works fine for three of them, but the fourth one gets endlessly prompted for his password and is never allowed to log in. All are from NT 4.0 clients. What's really puzzling is that when I look at the log at debug level 2, I get the

Hi I actually had this same problem when running up samba originally. Check that the user has a valid unix acount and that you have added that to the folder share/valid users section.

I finally got RC3 built on my home machine (had to sneakernet in a tarball of libcurl to get it to build :-( ) and started testing it out on the range of quality levels, side by side with lame using it's range of vbr quailty modes. Overall, it sounds pretty good, but I haven't really tested a good range yet, as I ended up starting on udial.wav... vorbis handles it ok up to quality 3,

Hi everyone, this article (http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html) describes the situation for director/NFS-based clusters and SSH-based clusters. Right now I'm running the first setup with one proxy/director and two backends (all 2.2.x) mounting an NFS-share but I'd like to get rid of NFS (it's slow) and, if one backend is down, the proxy still

One of our employees is having an odd problem with Adobe Photoshop. Files he saves with Photoshop are saved with permissions 777, completely ignoring both the create mask and the default ACL for the directory. Files he creates with other programs have the correct permissions. This has me stumped. It appears I can reproduce the problem at will. Client is Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Adobe Photoshop

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

I'm still struggling with this, and people keep asking me why the PDF printer still isn't working...does anyone have any suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: David Brodbeck Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 4:09 PM To: 'samba@samba.org' Subject: PDF printing problem - can't find Samba's file?

OK, this one is really strange, and I'm not sure where to go with it. Here's the setup ... Main box is running Debian testing/sarge with samba 3.0.5. Earlier it was 3.0.4 and 3.0.2. Very generic installation for home, acting as a file server for several XP Pro boxes, and everything has been running swimmingly. Using USER security, with users logging in to the XP boxes with the same ID

Okay, I'm sorry, but that's the dumbest idea yet. If they didn't have Windows, why would they use Samba?

Hi; I am using Samba 2.2.0 on a small business network (192.168.1.x). I am running Suse 7.2 on a pentium pro 120. This machine is also the local gateway (isdn) using masquarading. I have a 10 Mbs utp network. I am experiencing an extreme difference in read and write speed over the samba server. Writing from a windows machine (windows 98se) to the linux box gives me data rates of approx 16

I have several Linux machines some running on really old hardware and some on brand new, some run old distros (RedHat 6) and some new (FC3 or CentOS). All of them experienced power failure more then once, none of them has failed to load after a reboot. BUT, Asterisk is running your PBX. Your PBX isn't your proxy server, it isn't your web server, mail server, firewall, or whatever
