We have been using rsync for some time with Linux and FreeBSD, but are just now trying to make it work with Windows. Not as easy as we hoped. I am running the cwrsync client 3.0.6 on a new Windows 7 machine to a FreeBSD 8.1 server. I have an exclude-from filelist, which does seem to successfully exclude the directories given by many of its entries, including these two lines: Documents/My[

For some reason It's not erroring now, I will look into it more, but I suspect it鈥檚 the settings, the last thing mentioned David > [globa]l section is fine, as long as it's not also set in the share section. So, yeah, that may have fixed im for the time being not getting the sparse errors, for the first time in 4 months, however, there is a couple other problems, so hopefully they

Hi all, In lieu of Timothy''s pure Ruby junction code, and Zach''s VC++ 6 issues, I decided to just rewrite the dang thing in pure Ruby using Win32API. That will solve''s Zach''s problem and make it easier to add Timothy''s code, which I plan to add (slightly modified) to the 0.2.0 release. The code is below. One thing I have a question about is how to

I'm trying to backup certain pieces of my XP workstations home directory to a mapped drive using rsync on Cygwin. I was able to create a fairly useful exclude-from list, but I'm unable to re-include portions a subset of an excluded directory. My rsync command looks like this: rsync -avn --delete --stats ~/ \ /cygdrive/i/HRMS/rdavies/backup/home \

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, and I have asked that files should be shared. Now when I mount harriet:C I can see the top level folders, but cannot see Documents

Hi All, I just started really looking into deploying Vista in a Domain Environment and here is some info I gathered so far: With Vista, Microsoft Updated their "profiles" to version 2, thus Vista profiles will not co-exist with previous Windows profiles. To alleviate the need to specify a different profile for Vista, Microsoft decided to automatically add a ".V2" to the

Hi, I have a domain controller which was configured to use the local profiles. We have a relatively small group whose work required it. Now we are moving toward using the domain for all machine with roaming profile. There are a lot of posts dealing with the roaming profiles and the folder redirection. But I've met some issues. My configuration: NS3 and SMB are hostnames of our servers.

Background: I've setup my server (name:firewall) to acts as a PDC, and to use roaming profiles. I am using Windows XP with sp1 on the client machines. Problem: When I login to my domain (panacea) I get the following error-message: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log

I've got an issue with roaming profiles with samba 3.0.23a and an LDAP backend. I can use the ldap to authenticate an NT and a local user, and I know alot about PAM, NSS, and general linux. BUT, I can't get ANY roaming profiles to work. Other than my domain name changed for security purposes, the following is my smb.conf file. (I first used SWAT, then did more customization)

ok, I have Samba 2.2.0alpha2 (on RedHat 6.2) up and running as a PDC, I can add Win2k machines to the domain and the machine accounts are automatically created. (finally!) Now, my problem is when a user logs off the machine for the first time, their profile is created, BUT(!) it only makes rwx permissions for SOME of the directories in the profile, this is what I mean: [root@samba profile]# ls -l

I have a PDC named GOMER with IP 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG1 with IP 10.8.3.231, both in the domain ADAMSTEST. I have a user testuser who logged in successfully to GOMER and has a roaming profile in /var/lib/samba/profiles/testuser. So I changed the TCP/IP settings of the windows XP computer testuser uses from the WINS server of 10.8.3.37 to 10.8.3.231 so it would use BLDG1 for

Hi folks, I am trying to deploy an LDAP based Samba3 PDC, migrated from an old WinNT4 Domain to support roaming profile for new WinXP clients. But I do not want a full roaming profile. AFAIK WinXP profiles tends to grow. If possible, I would like to roam only the desktop settings, and maybe the navigator (IE or Firefox) configuration. Another important (I believe) information is that our WinXP

Hi, I see some strange and dangerous things happening on a HPE server with HPE Smart Array controller where EL9 ends up with wrong device nodes/symlinks to the attached disks/raid volumes: (I didn't touch anything here but at 08:09 some symlinks were changed) /dev/disk/by-id/: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000 -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10

Hello, I am using samba in a heterogeneous UNIX/NT environment. Samba exports file systems that contain many symlinks. My users want to access the symlinked files from windows explorer, i.e. the symlinks need to be followed by samba. For security reasons, symlinks pointing to locations outside the share must not be followed. According to the samba documentation I have to set these parameters in

Dear All Hi, I am using ./tools/wineinstall to compile and install Wine-20050310 with all default settings unchanged except `prefix' in ./tools/wineinstall. which I have changed to prefix=/usr/local/Wine.

Hi! For a longer time, I cannot build all the support suite of wine programs, especially winehelp and winetest. It seems that there is some problem with perl: winetest.c: In function `xs_init': winetest.c:158: `my_perl' undeclared (first use in this function) winetest.c:158: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once winetest.c:158: for each function it appears in.)

Hi to all, I have a samba server that was working with security share in one subnet and now is listening on another interface, configured as a PDC logon server with wins support and w98 clients, I followed the howto: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2002/article177.shtml The clients added to the domain execute the logon scripts fine, but they do not see the samba server in nethood, though
