Hello, all. Alas, another convoluted question. All the simple things are, well, simple so I suppose we only need to trouble the list with squirrely problems! We've noticed a call history problem when using Asterisk where the call history on the Snom phones (with which we are very pleased) reflects the number of the PBX extension used by the B2BUA to dial the end point. I assume the same

OK. That helped to understand how samba manages users. I looked at the details of my users. Both, user1 and user2, are defined exactly the same way. User1's home directory is set to \\debianhomeserver\user1 and user2's home directory is set to \\debianhomeserver\user2. Accessing user1's home directory which is still in /home/user1 works fine, user2's home directory, which was moved

Folks! We have purchased G729 and have been testing the codec on mUltiple Gateways. Here is what we have found.

I wrote a patch for rsync 2.6.6 that changes two things: (1) When the receiving rsync creates a file in a directory with a default ACL and `--perms' is off, rsync uses the default ACL instead of the umask to calculate the new file's permissions. All programs that just use `open' and don't do an explicit `chmod' are forward-compatible with default ACLs, but rsync always sets

I'm wondering if anyone is having problems when multiple users concurrently change their voicemail passwords. Consider the following scenario (based on vm_change_password() in app_voicemail.c): - user1 wishes to change his password so voicemail.conf is opened and read into a buffer - user1 changes his password - user2 wishes to change his password so voicemail.conf is opened and read into a

Today I went to back up my computer to an external disk with rsnapshot. I have two copies of the Linux kernel; a few files differ, but matching files are hard-linked between the two trees to save space. Since I didn't give -H to rsync, it is making a separate file on the backup disk from each hard link on the source. I had the understanding that -H used an O(n^2) algorithm to match up hard

I have a scenario where I have two users, one account (user1) with it's own Maildir account, and another account (user2) (which I wish to see the same messages) with a symlinked Maildir to user1's Maildir.? I.E.: /home/user1/Maildir /home/user2/Maildir (where this Maildir is symlinked to /home/user1/Maildir) Both users are in a group together (usergroup), and so all of the permissions

Sorry in advance for the long post. But this is a bit of a detective story. We are having an authentication issue with a small number of Windows XP (SP2) machines. The Windows machines are set up to have only a single user -- let's say the user is called "Writer". There is no password set up for this user called "Writer". User1 logs on to the machine and connects

I have a Debian server linked to Active Directory for authentication using winbindd. About a month after installation one of the users reported not being able to access a share on this machine. The same user is able to use AD credentials to access all shares on a practically identical second server. I couldn't swear that all config files are identical down to the line, but it is also

Hi Can anyone point me to a howto to arrange for multiple domains to deliver to one inbox with Dovecot? For example, user1 at example.com and user1 at example.net should both be delivered to /var/spool/mail/virtual/example.net/user1 Currently, I have the dovecot LDA set as: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mailsystem argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver

Yep I tried those two options, and nothing... Even if the pre-user conf files have a log file in the same directory, which I touch before trying, messages keep going to syslog... I tried with 666 permissions on rsyncd.log too just to make sure... The following is one of the user's conf file, hope theres a clue. Thanks! log file = /home/pluto/rsyncd.log <<< This is the problem!!

Hey rsync people, Here's a really radical idea and a possible future direction for the rsync project to explore. It occurs to me that tar and rsync are closely related in their purposes. "tar -c (blah) | tar -x" can be used to copy files; rsync's setup with a sender process and a receiver process is strikingly similar. The only major conceptual difference is that the rsync

Wayne, Attached is a patch worth of suggested man page improvements for --no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks. I think new users would find my explanations clearer and more complete, although you may want to make additional changes. I regenerated rsync.1 and the patch includes changes to it, but my yodl is somewhat weird, so I suggest you run yodl again yourself. -- Matt McCutchen

Wayne, I have redone get_local_name again (patch attached), this time to enable rsync to remove a file to make way for a destination directory; this resolves the "surprise" noted in David Tonhofer's diagram 2. I also made it obey --keep-dirlinks when looking for a destination directory and made various rearrangements. Tell me what you think, and if you decide to commit my code,

Folks; I couldn't find anything on my archive of the mailing list on this, and it may just be my mis-understanding, but: When I "ssh machine1 -l user1" as user2 on machine2, if user2 has the same uid on machine1, then user2's name ends up in lastlog, instead of user1's. This is a bit disconcerting when user2 is root, and root isn't allowed to remotely log in on

Hello, I have been doing a lot of research on this subject and I'm not finding a clear answer. My company currently makes a video capture and transcoding application that runs on a Linux server. The video application mounts shares from a second Linux storage server for various users at the same time. In other words, we have: A Linux Storage Server with many accounts (for example,

We finally seem to have worked most of the kinks out of our OCFS/RAC setup, and are running a mass import to clone our production database for testing. While this has been going on, I fired up ocfstool to check out the states of the various shared volumes. In several cases, I saw (in the File Listing tab) multiple entries for some directories and files at the filesystem root. The duplicate

Rsync people, I am preparing to overhaul my Web site's build system, and I am looking for a convenient way to collect files and directories from various places on my computer and put them at various locations inside a destination directory to be posted to my Web site. So far, my script has been running rsync once for each source, but this is too slow. Is there a way to get rsync to collect
