Accessing Windows file-system from Linux samba server
I don't understand Windows permissions under Samba.
I am running an smb server under CentOS-5.4,
and have a Windows XP Pro machine ("harriet") as a client.
I have set up shares C and D on harriet
corresponding to the 2 drives C: and D: on the machine,

Strangely slow disk
I have a 1.5TB Western Digital hard disk (WD15EADS-00R6B0)
on my CentOS-5.7 server, which has become incredibly slow
for some operations, eg rsync, BackupPC archive, e2fsck,
although it seems to work fine for ordinary file operations,
and "smartctl -a /dev/sdb" does not report any errors.
For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition
on this disk took over 24

BackupPC is not easy to setup
I finally got BackupPC working under Centos-7.1
after several hours of pain.
I had been running it for several years under CentOS-6,
and probably CentOS-5, but there seem to me
to have been several new issues that arise with CentOS-7.
In my experience, the official documentation on this,
<http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html>,
is more or less useless unless you have a very long

BackupPC
I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC
does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system.
What do people use to backup Centos systems?

Is this a bug in CentOS-7 BackupPC?
When I try to start BackupPC with "sudo systemctl restart backuppc"

BackupPC problem - wrong user
I recently moved BackupPC from CentOS-6 to CentOS-7.
But when I browse to localhost/BackupPC I'm told
Error: Wrong user: my userid is 48[apache], instead of 984(backuppc)
As far as I can tell, the BackupPC settings are exactly the same
as they were before the move.
It seems htttpd is running the program as user apache
rather than backuppc, as required.
Is there a simple setting in

It comes with the libnice package in Fedora-11.

BackupPC newbie: a couple more questions
1. I'm running - or trying to run - BackupPC under Centos-5.2,
and have been looking at various BackupPC HOWTOs and tutorials.
I see that the "Falko" tutorial at <http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc>
recommends (on page 3) that one should enter one's username,
"falko" in this case, as the user in /etc/BackupPC/hosts .
Other tutorials suggest one should use

BackupPC: two newbie questions
I'm running BackupPC under Centos-5.2.
1. Will BackupPC backup files in NFS-mounted directories?
If so, is there any simple way of preventing this?
2. I have seen it suggested that it is not a good idea
to backup onto a partition on the same drive
as the BackupPC server?
Is that true?
If so, is a partition on a separate drive on the same machine also bad?
Ps Apologies if this has been

Power-outage
I have a CentOS-5.6 remote server in a house in Italy,
where there are occasional thunder-storms.
There was one yesterday, when the electricity
went off 3 times, for a second or so on each occasion.
My server, an HP MicroServer,
came back (re-booted) on 2 of the 3 occasions,
but not on the third.
I assume that the problem arises because the machine
does not close down properly.

My new server
I bought a very cheap server yesterday -
an HP ProLiant micro server for 160 euro
(280 euro with 120 cashback, for some reason).
But I was surprised when I opened the box
to find it didn't come with keyboard or mouse,
and doesn't have the old keyboard/mouse sockets,
but requires USB versions.
Is that the norm nowadays?
Is it possible to convert the old keyboard/mouse plugs?
Also there is

Setting up BackupPC on CentOS-7
I'd be interested in any corrections or comments
on the following instructions (basically for myself):
We assume that BackupPC has been installed:
sudo yum install BackupPC
1. BackupPC must be run by the user backuppc.
Accordingly the lines
User apache
Group apache
in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should be changed to
User backuppc
Group backuppc
2. The user backuppc must be able to

Dovecot GUI
Is there a web-interface to dovecot under CentOS-6?
I want to create a top-level folder
(ie at the same level as Inbox)
but this doesn't seem to be possible
from KMail running on a remote Fedora-6 laptop.
I was browsing through the dovecot wiki,
and I saw some pictures which seemed to be from a dovecot GUI,
but I could not find the name of this program.
Alternatively, can I simply create

NM on a server?
Is there any point in running NetworkManager on a server?
The IP addresses of the two server NICS are fixed
(192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.2 .)
I'm not clear if it is necessary in some way
to run NM on a CentOS system?
