Two patches: one to correct the spelling of permissions (in comments, but such typos disturb me as well), and one to cast inode and dev to unsigned long before comparing, to prevent gcc giving a warning "comparison between signed and unsigned".

Ok..this seems like it shouldn't be that hard to figure out but I'm confused anyway. How can I make sure that whatever case a file is created with is what's shown in NT explorer? Let me explain: If I create a file in all uppercase on my unix file system (which is also a samba share) it shows up as a mixed case file within NT explorer, with only first letter capitalized. (Normally

I just got a 8Gb flash drive and went to copy a bunch of files onto it. I wanted to perserve everything, so I just took my archiving rsync command and altered it to go to localhost:/media/RALLY2/ (name of flash drive). I am getting errors with changing the group owner. Huh? So I try to just use mkdir to create a directory on the flash drive. The directory has a group of root ??? So I try

Hello, I'm setting up a Linux backup server for Windows Workstations, using rsync-2.6.3pre1+acl on the server and cygwin rsync-2.6.2-2 on the Workstations. At this point, I don't care about perserving the acls ; I only want to preserve the ownership of the files. My server is running in daemon mode as root, and winbindd (from samba 3.0.6) is running correctly : I can get all the users

Hey, I'm using SAMBA 2.0.9 and only on very large file transfers (500 MB or more) to or from the SAMBA share after I logout and log back in I'll get this error message,"Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use." If I wait just a couple of minutes the connection will be made and everything is fine including access to the share once again. SAMBA 2.0.9

Dear R-users & developers, i'd like to know your opinion on the following suggestion. In short: Wouldn't it be possible to combine the properties of local regression (loess) and resistant regression (lqs) in order to cope with fitting of partially continuous data? I think the lqs-fitting could detect and eliminate the 2 outliers but perserve the discontinuity at t1 in case of the

Hello, i'm using rsync 2.6.0 for daily-syncing some remote AIX 5.2 machine to a local linux (RH 7.3) with using the --link-dest option for saving space on incremental backups. Even if there are no changes on the AIX machine, all files are newly transferred on every new sync. My test scenario (actisi=remote aix machine, actisa=local linux machine): =====> Initial rsync [mma@actisa

Hi- I'musing the smbldap tools to create ldap entries for user logins through samba. I was just wondering if anyone knew what format userPassword is stored in. Is it an md5 hash?

Hi there, some of the recent holes discussed on this list, and David Holland''s suggestion for a utmp manager daemon got me thinking. I ended up coding a sample program that demonstrates how a `resource manager'' can be used to allow applications access to certain resources while not giving them any privileges. The sample program is a primitve modem manager that hands out open

version: rsync v2.6.1 (+ a minor, unrelated patch). I'm rsyncing files (not as root) and am happy (indeed, for what I want, delighted) that the files at the target side end up owned by the account doing the rsync. However, I've found that if I have a setuid/setgid file on the source side, the target file ends up setuid/setgid too (but under a different id!). This happens whether

When i go to Yast Control center i can see that the user log in is set to /bin/bash and this is the default. Is this what you meant? Where else to find smbmnt?

I have combed google for days searching for an answer to this but cannot find anything anywhere, I'm hoping that posting to this list will get me the solution. I have FC4 running dovecot v1.0.beta7 to serve my POP3 (I had to install v1.0.beta7 because it's on a x86_64 and I need mysql support). It runs great for about two hours, after which I start getting the resource

Hi, I just configured my Postfix installation to deliver via Dovecot LDA. But because I use separate uids for virtual domains I had to set deliver to be setuid root. Altough I find this as frequent answer to this problem with deliver LDA I am not a 100% sure - basically because I try to avoid root setuids as much as I can. What should be better solution - to have all mailboxes with one owner or
