Hi all, I've googled on this but no luck so far. I'm using FC4. This works flawlessly: Mount -t smbfs //host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename -o username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 However, it fails in fstab when I do: //host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename smbfs username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0

Hi list, Having a problem connecting to a Samba server under Fedora Core 6. Every time I try to connect, even from localhost, I get the message NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. Samba config was done in the Redhat samba configuration tool (gnome). I can connect with smbclient -L illuminatus -U <username> and get a list of the shares. However when I try to connect with smbclient -U

Hi, I have a dilemma - here's some background: Up until recently, a series of local scripts that run on our network ran on a Mac OS X box. I would like to migrate these scripts to a Fedora Core 4 box (for better perl, ruby,and pythoiin support), however, the scripts use directories in the Appleshare network. I have the /Volumes directory, in which OSX mounts the shares, shared via Windows

We have a server which runs Samba and Apache. Web developers edit their files (via Windows mapped drives) from Windows XP SP2. These files are typically CGI files and the developers' routine is: while (web page not quite right) { 1. Edit file 2. Save 3. Click Reload on web browser 4. Check results } They go around that loop many times during a typical development run.

We have been fighting with intermittent connections here and have noticed that tinc seems to use up its supply of file descriptors.

Good day, Our Windows users aren't able to edit their MS Office files over our Samba shares (Samba 3.0.10, CentOS4 w/ their i386 RPM). It looks like the clients' attempts to lock the files fails. When their client attempts to open such a file, Samba reports: ----------8<----------------------- [2006/10/27 15:55:57, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(657) posix_fcntl_lock:

-q seems to override -v completely, but when combined with --progress, a single newline is output when there are no updates transferred; but if a file *was* updated nothing at all is output. It seems that there might be some short-circuited code when nothing is trasferred, but that a check for quiet mode is skipped somehow. Paul

I'm running dovecot 20051026 version on Redhat4. I tried to do a stress test. However dovecot dies after I login a few hundred users.

Hello, Recently, the following problem started happening with a particular samba server: If i have a file open for reading (say, a pdf in xpdf) and then try to write to it (say, through recompiling a latex document) it complains that it cannot open the file for writing. this seems like a file lock issue but I am unsure where it is happening. My previous usage should be perfectly safe since

I'm running a samba pdc on my gentoo box in a mixed environment with a couple of Windows XP clients and only a few MacOSX clients. The users told me, the file locking across the platforms does not work properly sometimes. I tried to google my problem, but without luck. I switched all the flags related the lock mechanism of samba on and off, but the problem seems to be solved yet. The only

Hi, We are considering to migrate to Dovecot. We can running uw-imap and have a local path which allow us to lock a user by creating a .lockdir directory in the user home directory and put our warning message to .lockdir/mbox. The locked user can still receive messages in ~/mbox. But can not access any messages except ~/.lockdir/mbox. I wonder if Dovecot has any similar feature which we can

Looking for help on how I can convince my NT4 PDC to accept the name registration of one of my Samba servers. I have: - PDC running NT 4 SP6 - Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8 Sparc which I am trying to have authenticate against the PDC. This server is on a separate subnet connected by a VPN. There is no port blocking in place and all the servers can talk to each other quite happily To try to get

First let me say that rsync is a wonderful program and thank you all for the hard work that went into it's creation. On to my question. I have a situation that requires the files that rsync is uploading/downloading to be locked. The reason is because it is possible to have more than one copy of rsync running and without file locking, the additional copies simply retry to upload/download a

Hello, I'm having trouble getting finding a company that provides DID in Western Canada. More specifically in Edmonton, Alberta. We have tried getting in contact with Link2Voip and Calgary Telecom but neither seems to be answering their phones or email. I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thank you, Nelson

Lately, I get a "page cannot be found" error (IE 6.0, Windows XP) when I try to download the following: http://cran.us.r-project.org/R-2.2.0pat-win32.exe http://cran.us.r-project.org/R-2.3.0dev-win32.exe (Same for all other mirrors (about 6) that I've tried. Could someone please check if these files are accessible to them? I'm guessing there's something haywire in my setup.

Hello, I'm looking for the alternative of qmail's chmod -t (sticky bit on the maildir root) for Dovecot. What I'm trying to achieve with this lock: - Dovecot lmtp should give back a temporary error (so the email will be deferred and re-delivered later) - all other Dovecot daemons (pop, imap) should work as usual, but should not alter maildir contents (they can modify their own
