Hi, We?re migrating to a Cpanel hosting system. Our passwords are currently stored in MD5. I looked at the post login scripting to be able to start storing the plain text passwords as people login temporarily so we can automate our migration. It seems that the password is not available in the post login environment variables. Is there any way we can get access to the plain text password upon

I am trying to compile Samba 2.2.4 on an HP-UX 10.20 machine, and I get this error at the end: checking configure summary... ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config I looked on the web for possible causes, I didn't see anything that answered my question. This box that I'm compiling on is currently running 1.9.16, and

Hi, I've got a MSAccess database on a linux server (fedora core 5, samba 3, 192.168.0.90) which a Win XP client machine needs to use (192.168.0.50). However, Access refuses to open the database because "it's not on the LAN so is a security risk". How can I configure Samba so that Windows recognises 192.168.0.90 as a local machine, please?

Hello, I know this is off topic, but I've come to the conclusion that the only people who can answer my question is other Samba users... I would like to deploy on our network a centrally administered antivirus program. We're running Win98 machines doing NT type logins to Samba running on a RedHat 6.1 box. It seems that as I have researched antivirus programs which can be centrally

Running Ruby 1.8.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.7. I had been working on a small app based on the To Do tutorial and, since I''m just playing around, I installed tonight''s Rails update. Now I get a 404 error when browsing to my app''s top level. I''m using the built-in WEBrick server, started from within my app directory with "ruby script/server", which had

I''m new to Rails and am modifying the ToDo tutorial app into something else. I have successfully installed authentication via login_generator and now I working toward restricting access to certain database records based on the login name. I realize that eventually, I''ll want to use the "id" field, but for now, I just want to use the user name itself. I have

Hi folks, Normally people ask "when is CentOS 4.7 coming" and they are told "when it is ready". Dag posted on his blog about it going to testing in July while it was supposed to be syncing to the mirrors on Sept 5/6th according to Karanbir. Is there something going on behind the scenes? I have not seen Johnny Hughes or even Dag posting on this list for some time. CentOS

Hi, I'm confused as to the purpose of rsync modules. I know how to set them up in rsyncd.conf, and can list the available modules on a remote linux machine using 'rsync camlinux01::' from a Win32 client, but I can't find any information on what they are actually for. The man page for rsyncd.conf talks about them as if they are vitaly important, but the man page for rsync

I have been really lax in supporting librsync for the last few months, because of a new job and taking over maintenance of rsync

I am trying to debug the Xen hypervisor from a second computer over the serial port, but nothing seems to work. Using mercurial, I got xen-3.2-testing.hg. I followed the steps in crashdb.txt in the docs/misc/ folder: set debug=y in Config.mk, crash_debug=y in xen/Rules.mk I also added -fno-omit-frame-pointer to these file as well. I compiled with no errors and booted with minicom connected to

Hi, Is there a way in which rsync's -z compression (zlib) utility can be benchmarked? I'm trying to compare the compression ratio between rsync and external compression tools like gzip and bzip2. Are there any advantages to using rsync's internal compression mechanism specified with the -z option compared to solely applying external compression i.e. bzip2 to the files and invoking

Hi, The following lines in compat.c are rather imprudent: if (read_batch || write_batch) checksum_seed = 32761; else checksum_seed = time(NULL); write_int(f_out,checksum_seed); Setting checksum_seed to a constant in batch mode means block collisions are reproducible and predictable. Thus, some files will be permanently "unlucky" in batch mode and will

Hello, I am trying to build a regex to extract vowels and consonants from a string. So far, I am able to extract the basic a-e-i-o-u sequence using the following extension to the String class: class String def vowels scan(/[aeiou]/i) end def consonants scan(/[^aeiou]/i) end end examples: >> "Mary had a little lamb".vowels => aaaiea >> "Mary had a

Hi, while implementing the rsync protocol in one of our projects I found that the current CVS version still has a MD4 bug. I'm using the FreeBSD libmd implementation and I still had checksum mismatches with protocol version 27 for files whose size was a multiple of 64 - 4 ( - 4 due to checksum_seed). A patch for todays CVS version is attached. Someone should also review the clean_fname()

Is there a step by step approach to securing CentOS 4X (or even RHEL 4X)? I don't mean the stuff in the docs/security guide but a working step by step guide? There used to be packages like rkhunter and tripwire but I don't know if the ones in rpmforge/kbs repo are up to date. Thanks, Josh.

hi, I recently upgraded my Debian Lenny system to Squeeze, and have been happily running nut as a MODE=standalone system talking to my Cyberpower 1500 avr lcd via the usbhid-ups driver for a couple of weeks or so. No problems. Now I'm trying to hang another machine off the same ups as a slave, and it isn't working. The problem I'm getting is best illustrated by what

I've got a CentOS server that crashes due to a bad hard disk. I have got a spare disk and need to format and reinstall CentOS from the SERVER CD. Backup and reinstall is a major PITA because of some of the customisations that I've done e.g. the DNS Server is set to log queries (the default does not do this). Any tips on :- - backing up and reinstalling (is a script available)? - is the
