similar to: How best to allow users to change Samba passwords?

I've got a bit of a problem with Samba. I just can't work out how to change passwords or remove users. I've just got user security.. lines in smb.conf are: security = user passdb backend = tdbsam I've removed the user using pdbedit, I've removed the unix user, smbpasswd says the user doesn't exist yet I can still connect to the shares. I'm

Hi all, sorry for being OT but would any of you recommend a ticketing system? We'd like something pretty comprehensive to cover helpdesk and HR stuff as well as software bugs/requests. There seems to be a million variations out there.

Hi all, We have a bit of a problem with backups. We've been using bacula to tape and now trying to disk but it's a complete nightmare as regards tape management. The backup to file storage went ok for ages and now is stuck 'waiting for max storage jobs' which is odd as that's set to 20 and it's the only backup running. That's totally typical of bacula. Can anyone

Hi all, I've got a bit of an issue with reinstalling a server. I can get the installer to boot off a memory stick made with unetbootin, but I can't seem to find the installation files on the stick. I have hda, sda and sdb but none are acceptable install media. How do I mount the USB stick while in the installer to install off it? DVD isn't an option because it's been

Hi all, I'm just trying to get Dell openmanage to run on my Centos 5.6 box. The monitoring stuff appears to have installed but the web server stuff is complaining it needs openwsman 2.2.3 or later and I can only find that for RHEL/Centos 6, not 5. Can anyone point me at a suitable rpm, or do I have to resort to compiling it? Surely I'm not the only one trying to do this. -- Kevin

Looking for a guide on converting to Maildir. Here are our relevant specs. sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6 (we may not be able to upgrade this due to too many modifications) imap-2002d-14 procmail-3.22-10.el3.centos.0 To a maildir setup... <rant> I was in a panic today at work because the backup server is filling up too quickly, backing up peoples email. Further it is not backing up often

Hi guys, any CUPS / Samba experts out there? The CUPS printing guide is a horrendous maze of options. I've got nearly there but I've got one thing wrong and I don't know where to look. I set up our two printers (HP K5400s) using the GUI printer tool. Both print the test page just fine. I set up the [printers] and [print$] shares and can browse to the printers from Windows (XP for me)

Just wanted to get some thoughts from the list..... We are a public k-12 school and are looking to migrate to a groupware style system for out staff to collaborate better. Currently we are using Squirrelmail/postfix for email. Does anyone have any recommendations/opinions. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you -- Bo Lynch Systems Administrator RedHat Academy Instructor Energy Manager

Sorry to be a pain but I'd really like PyDB2 (DB2 client for python). IBM only seem to offer the source which won't compile without a copy of DB2. I only need it to extract some info from a customer site so I don't really want to have to get DB2. any ideas? thanks

Dear All, I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server. So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba server with ldap connection. Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also because I can't get it to work on Centos. ) I saw a post on the

I am trying to figure out if I can setup samba to verify only passwords against LDAP and keep everything else local. Anyone know how to set this up?

Does anyone have any experience using PGina with Samba for a simple "single sign on" approach using Windows clients? If so, I would love to know how it is working for you. I tried posting here a bit ago for a way to do this ("single sign on") with samba only, but I didn't get any responses and therefore looked into other opportunities. Thanks. Paul

Hi. I've started working on a PHP-project that generates the configuration files i need based on what's in my MYSQL database. I can add, delete and edit users from the web. I can set up exactly the dialplan i need by arranging the users in a firms and groups if needed. I've also set up a java servlet so that i can get asterisk to reload by pushing a button from the web-interface. The

Well, I stumbled onto zimbra.... I have a Scallix system built, but still have some rough edges to try to smooth. Like the way it works with sendmail, no dnsbl's will work as sendmail sees all mail as coming from locohost (scalix). Still battling that one which is when I ran across Zimbra. So, this made me start wondering. Are there other exchange server-like products out there? Has

sorry for the vague subject, but I couldn't find a better one. I have the website http://digifreedom.net running on a Centos 4 VPS with Apache and Drupal 6.10 . This is a multisite Drupal setup: only one installation, with subdirectories in sites/, and a separate mysql database for each website. For several reasons, I had setup DNS, drupal and everything to work without the www prefix on

Hello all, I've played with both Zimbra and Scalix and they seem quite nice and do pretty much what I want. I'm now at the point where I am considering retiring my trusty old courier-imap service in favour of one of these two, unless of course anyone has any other recommendations or suggestions. I'd probably be doing this inside a centos 4.4 Xen VMs running on centos 5 when it comes

For scalix on Centos the Scalix forum provides instructions for convincing Scalix that Centos is Redhat: http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=516&highlight=centos I am up to the point of getting Java JDK1.4.2 installed. I did a: yum list|grep "java" and got: gcc-java.i386 3.4.4-2 installed java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.noarch

Hi, Back to a while ago, someone mentioned about taking pGINA code to samba, so samba can work against LDAP authentication, but instead of using the sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword, this way samba can use the userPassword field directly. This sounds very promissing because we can then just use one set of passwords. It may be not usable in a domain enviroment where machine accounts and other

I'm hoping to integrate a shared folder(s) so that we may be able to drag and drop files from various OSs into a shared folder on a CentOS server which can be accessed via Scalix SWA or some other email client. Maybe I'm totally off base with how Scalix stores files in public folders... maybe everything has to be in mbox format for all folders and this could never work..... Anyway, I
