similar to: Enhancement to Samba

This mail message follows from several discussions with Luke Leighton. It's mostly technical in nature but I'm submitting to all mailing lists anyway (Luke's suggestion). We have our Samba server running with the Berkeley AMD automounter (nothing peculiar here). In order for our Samba users to walk the automount tree, we created a program to create symbolic links from the local

We're configuring Windows Server 2003 against Samba with an LDAP backend. Things are mostly working. On the UNIX end, all users have, as their primary group, a groupname matching their login id. So, username "china" has groupname "china" as the primary group. I tried creating a local user on the Windows Server 2003 box and a groupname equivalent to the username but it

We have OpenSSH built against a static version of the OpenSSL library. Do the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities necessitate a rebuild of OpenSSH? http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20030930.txt >From the description of the four bugs, I'm inclined to think not. -- albert chin (china at thewrittenword.com)

Tru64 UNIX has getaddrinfo but not by that name. Including <netdb.h> #defines getaddrinfo to ogetaddrinfo or ngetaddrinfo which exists in /usr/shlib/libc.so. So, AC_CHECK_FUNC(getaddrinfo) isn't enough to test for getaddrinfo. Best to AC_TRY_LINK so the #define takes effect. -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com) -- snip snip --- configure.in.orig Thu Jan 3 19:03:54 2002 +++

library() takes lib.loc as the third argument. Where is this set?

I am testing out a new server with RHEL6 running KVM. We have a few NICs on the server, one of which we would like to dedicate to network traffic to/from the virtual guests. Is it possible to do this without assigning an IP address to the NIC? We're currently doing something like this with Vmware Server, HP's HPVM for HP-UX/IA, and IBM's PowerVM for AIX. -- albert chin (china at

I finally got around to looking at a bunch of patchs to configure.in, some of them from back in March.
