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. I got to the point, that users can login to shares and now I'd liked to set up the server as an PDC with ldap and machine accounts too. The smbldap-toosl are installed and configured and I can add a machine to ldap to a certain point. The ldap entry is

Hi, I just started to set up a test ldap server and followed some tutorials. One topic is the tuning/monitoring of the bdb. So I installed the db4-utils and executed a "db_stat -h /var/lib/ldap/ -m". The answere is no stat, but: db_stat: Program version 4.3 doesn't match environment version db_stat: DB_ENV->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch The

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, how many gusets can I run with Centos 5.2? RH EL 5 is limeted to 4 guests while the advanced server is unlimeted.

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, after migrating to a new hardware (which is soo soooo mutch faster than the old one) I start to think about migrating from mbox to maildir. I'v read some docs and wikies and some questions are unanswered or maybe I skip the answers: - Is it possible to migrate the mboxes "silent" e.g. if a user logs in the mbox is converted? - regarding the Namespaces wiki article, it is

Hi, we run a Red Hat EL 5.2 mailserver with dovecot as the imap server. Mails are stored in mbox format and there are about 134GB of mail. At the moment users copy their importent mail to their workstation accounts wich are backed up nightly. What are your suggestions to back up the mails not copied? Thanks for any comments.

Hi, I plan to reorganise our IP management and I'd like to implement a slave DHCP server. Right now we assign IP addresses based on the ethernetadress of a client 1:1. The tutorial here [1] is simple and looks like the thing I need. I do have a lot of subnetworks and my cisco router has an DHCP helper address set. I know I'll have to add the second dhcp-server address. My questions now

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

Hi, since some time ago we do have a lot of "timeouts" connecting to our imap/po3 server. This week I switched the whole system to a new dual quadcore xeon, 24GB RAM, SAS2 RAID-10. (SUN Fire 4170) But the mailclients (mostly thunderbird and apple mail) still reporte the timeouts by accessing the mailboxes. The server is doing smtp, imap/pop3, webmailsystem and spam/antivirus-checking

Hallo, *<:-) may be I'm to tired to see the solution, maybe someone can give me a hint? I do have a couple of servers, sending the daily logwatch report to a central support email account. Some servers do have DNS A and CNAME records. On my mailserver relaying for the servers is allowed. Only one server drives me crazy, getting user unknown or releaying denied messages. Any idea, how
