Hi all, Just a quick question about login scripts for a large number of users who change rooms a lot. I have several rooms each with a printer, and nearly a thousand users divided into two main groups - pupils and teachers who change rooms on a routine basis. Is it possible to set up multiple login scripts that would be executed in sequence i.e. run by user is %u, and machine is %m is it

Hi, I'm successfully using winbind to authenticate a debian sarge workstation against an nt4 server. Works a treat. However, I have an odd situation where a user logs in for the first time as "John Smith" and gets created a "John Smith" directory in /home. *Then*, if they log in as "john smith", they get a second directory created as "john smith" in

Sorry, if this has been dealt with before, but I couldn't find it. I tried installing openldap 2.2 + samba 3. Currently I only have one install of openldap 2.0 and samba 2.2 running. Now, it all looks quite good, but the smbldap-tools do not add the necessary structuralobjectClass entries, so using the tools fails. I was able to manually change the first populate - which could be exported

I was wondering if there is a web front end for clients. By this I mean, is there something I can install on my apache server( wich is running on the same server ) that will alow my users to go to a page, login, and it drop them into there home directory. I have researched WEBDAV but I don't think it has the functionality that I need. Any help is greatly appreciated Wayne Dozier Network

I wanted to get a little feedback on a product for Administrating a Linux Server that I am running Samba, Apache, and NCFTP. The Product is Webadmin. I have it installed currently and was wondering if anyone else was using this. If so, what kind of problems have you had with it or are you pleased with it. My biggest concern is Samba. There is a feature on Webmin that as long as you use the

I am trying to clean up unnecessary lines (even as I hack my way forward adding more garbage) I have two questions on lines I have trying to keep the database and session info reflecting changes: def associate_pupil_to_teacher @teacher = session[:teacher] @pupil = Pupil.find(params[:id]) @teacher.pupils << @pupil @teacher.save #Q1 session[:teacher] = @teacher #Q2 end #Q1 do i

Hallo, i've got a little question: is it possible to query the domain controller which user is loggid in from which workstation. I'm writing an webapp for teachers; it would be nice to know which pupil logged on from which workstation to shutdown the correkt workstation in order to kick the pupil (force logoff) or is there an other way to

Is it possible to configure Samba so that when a new Windows machine joins the Samba domain it will have a UID in a certain range? I'd like the machine accounts to have a different range than user accounts. Thanks, Charles

Hello, My main question is : ? Is it possible to have a dedicated Default Profile per group ? ? The idea is to have a specified and prepared default profile for each groups we have. For the time being we've already had a "Default User/" directory in our netlogon directory which delivers a single and only fresh default profile. It's the same profile for everyone even if

Hi, I have the following conceptual / interpretative question regarding random effects: A mixed effects model was fit on biological data, with observations coming from different species. There is a clear overall effect of certain predictors (entering the model as fixed effect), but as different species react slightly differently, the predictor also enters the model as random effect and with

Hi, This is probably a bit OT, but here goes. I've been running our local school's mail server since 2013, with mail addresses for school staff and some teachers. The server is running CentOS 7 with Postfix and Dovecot, and it's a nice no-bullshit configuration with SPF, DKIM and DMARC. The school sends quite a lot of email out to parents, and sometimes, mail gets rejected:

I have my new servers up and going with Samba and LDAP on them. Now I have to add my users. Here is my problem. I have written a perl script that reads a file and adds users to different groups depending on what grade they are in and it also generates a random password, that it exports to a master list. The old script would add the user to unix and then to samba, along with the password
