Hello G?tz, grep yourself ldapadmin to administrate samba3 http://ldapadmin.sourceforge.net. What means to a certain point? You must add the machines on your centosbox to samba/ldap with the smbldap-tools (This never worked with my version). I did it with ldapadmin.

Hi, recently I got my samba/ldap/pdc setup up and running with xp clients. Server: centos 5.5, openldap-2.3.43-12 and samba3x-3.3.8. The new challenge: adding Windows 7 Clients and upgrading to samba 3.3.x I followed a posting from the centos forum (1) which worked so far for the samba update breaking nothing for xp. Than I installed a windows 7 client with the latest patches, changed the

Hi, some time a go I started to try a migration form our "old" samba PDC with smbpasswd user backend to a new ldap based.

The smbldap-toosl are installed and configured and I can add a machine to ldap to a certain point. The ldap entry is

Hi, happy new year! Today I set up a new web(dav) server for our .ical-System (phpIcalendar) and copied the config and data files from the old server.

Hi, recently I had to instal a new raid storage system for our central fileserver. It is connected by iscsi (1Gbit) and the fielsystems mounted are 400GB and 1TB and ext3. curretly about 400 GB are used by 1.5 Mio files. I turned quota on and did a quota check. BUT on reboot the system crashes/hangs during 'turning off quotas' This message shows up about 30++ sec after the shutdown ...

Hi, it is possible to create and setup/format volumes on a iscsi storage on one server and than disconnect and attache the storage to an other server. AFAIK on the 'new' server I do have to launch an LVM-scan command ... after login to the iscsi target. But which LVM-command and syntax was it? Thanks for any hint! :) /G?tz -- G?tz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax

Hi, is there any way to sum and limit quotas for one user across multiple filesystems? E.g. I'd like to use different mountpoints on a mailserver for /var/mail and /home but the user should have only a total of 1GB. or on a samba server the windows profile files should be on an other filesystem as other files for that user.

Hi, recently I had to shut down an iscsi-raid an the connected servers. After the reinstallation and changing the ip config to match our new lan design, I can login to the iscsi device, the volumes are there and I can establish an iscsi link to some volumes. But, some other volumes on the iscsi device are reported with an invalid partition table or that they can't be mounted. e.g.: fdisk

Hi, how are mails forwarded, if I do have the same alias pointing to two different users like this (two entries, two lines): bon.aqua: coke bon.aqua: pepsi Will coke and pepsi get the mail adressed to bon.aqua or will only the first entry get the mail? I know, that "bon.aqua: coke, pepsi" will forward the mails to coke and pepsi, Cheers, G?tz -- G?tz Reinicke IT-Koordinator
