The last version of Webmin has an error which allows users to both guess the valid usernames and attempt brute force password attacks against machines running webmin. I have already informed the developers of webmin, and they have released an update which fixes the problems described below. It is available at the URL at the end of this document.

While it is amazing that Sourcesafe runs under Wine, its performance leaves a lot to be desired. I am using Sourcesafe with Wine (my setup is documented at http://www.kegel.com/linux/vss-howto.html ). The Wine I'm using is from CVS as of last week. My workstation is a dual Pentium Xeon 1400MHz from Dell running 2.4.10. (That's a Pentium 4 Xeon using RDRAM, so it's probably about

Hello! A good day to you all. we've recently had some problems with samba (2.2.0) and sourcesafe. We had one particular project with over 700 files on it, and we've just recently encountered some problems with it, i.e. "corrupted" files from sourcesafe. i've read the archives, and someone mentioned that the number is actually unlimited(or 6.4million at the very least)...so

I am trying to run ss.exe using builtin DLLs. No luck at all:( It seems it fails to send the message (sendmsg?) somewhere. At the end, I get windows message box with the error. Any ideas? BTW, why does it ask username and password in console? Regards, Sergey FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock

Hi, I'm been using Samba for some time and I have been bugged by a problem with SourceSafe. I finally took some time to see what is going on and found the source of the problem (well, not in the source code though). I'm partially responsible, I have Unix files with the following rights "r--rw---" and Samba does not deal with these very well. I am now makind sure that this case

I ran into a situation where partial UNC support would be helpful and easy. Visual Sourcesafe runs well under Wine if I map \\vssServer\vssDir to a drive letter. Unfortunately, our administrator has the line journal_file = \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt in the sourcesafe config file. This causes an error dialog box "Bad DOS filename \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt". If Wine handled UNC

Ok, I'm sure you've answered this more then once, but still here it is : I have a FoxPro 2.0 for Lan application that used to run on DOS boxes connected to a Novell server (and of course with Novel client). Both FoxPro .exe, .prg and database/index files reside on the shared disk, and the client only maps a shared drive and starts the FoxPro application from there. Due to some

Hi ! I have an unique situation. An SCO Unixware 7.1.3 with Samba 2.2.7a (yes, i know; it sucks !) On the machine, is running MS Foxpro 2.6 for UNIX (it's running pretty well for several years) but due to new demands (like Crystal Reports, Visual view; etc) the directories with DBF files were shared using Samba. At the beginning, when everything was only about reading, there were no

Is Samba (1.19) incompatible with FoxPro? We have tried to network a database package (FoxPro is the underlying DBMS) by putting it in a Samba share. The database starts up and you can browse the tables, but it looks as though FoxPro's record locking system causes the entire share to be locked, so that further access to the shared drive (both in FoxPro and in the Windows98 Explorer) is

I am failing to lock a database file on a unix server (Solaris486) when the file lock request is sent from Visual Foxpro on Windows 95. Any suggestions on testing procedures, or even a solution?? Please feel free to assume that I don't know anything about file locks! I don't even know how Visual Foxpro attempts to lock a file. Would the Foxpro lock be recognised by any application?

I went to the trouble of setting up Visual Sourcesafe on a Linux system recently. There was a fair amount of futzing required, so I've documented what I had to do at http://www.kegel.com/linux/vss-howto.html Comments and corrections welcome. I'd also love to know how to get this working without hardcoding NT usernames and passwords! The commandline app appears to be fully functional

Hi, First of all, apologies if I'm not posting this in the correct place. I'm successfully running Microsoft Visual Foxpro 7 under Wine, however I needed to use the native versions of shlwapi and oleaut32. There is a major problem still, however, and that is that foxpro will freeze as soon as I use the mouse to click in certain controls (the command window, a textbox, an edit box,

Hi all! I'm at wits end on this one, so I thought I'd take a shot and post it here in hopes that someone has come across a solution to this problem of mine. Here are my system infos: My laptop (Ubuntu Ibex, wine 1.1.18) lets call this laptop Target PC (Ubuntu Hardy, wine 1.1.18) lets call this PC Server (Ubuntu Gutsy) lets call this server Most of our machines are still using XP, but

hi, recently we tried moving our large source safe databases to samba. After a day of use, the databases started showing signs of corruption (strange error messages from the SS client). However, it was discovered that the server was using a very sick ethernet port, so we guess that might be the reason for the corruption (sourcesafe is a really lame product but we cannot migrate away from it just

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has gotten Visual FoxPro apps working? Here's where I am. Under both fake_windows, and the 'real windows' installations, Foxpro apps seem to not release the mouse click when an MDI window is selected, or the scrollbars are used. In a print-preview, this appears to be a lockup (really, it's in 'select mode', for highlighting text). What

I've got WINE installed (version as above), from the FC3 packages linked to from winehq. I'm trying to run a FoxPro app. It installed OK, but when I go to run it, I got a window saying "Cannot locate FoxPro support library". I've soft-linked foxw2600.esl, which I presume is the library, to FOXW2600.ESL, and now I get a box saying simply: "WATCOM Win: Read

G'day I am trying to install Visual FoxPro 9 with wine. I have been following the instructions from "http://www.paulmcnett.com/vfp/wine/". I have had to slightly modify the paths used for the symlinks because the format of version 9 appears to differ from that of version 8. Or it's because they didn't lend me the original disks. Basically an extra directory level called

I am accessing Visual Foxpro and main.prg inside a shortcut by first calling the VFP9 and then the mapping of the file server with the directories to the program.... "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\vfp9.exe" F:\??_???\progs\main.prg. Would max protocol = SMB2 be the correct format? Thanks for the thoughts. Tom Gaiseric Vandal [

Hi, I have samba 2.0.7 (on Redhat 6.2) running as a print server for a Foxpro for DOS application. When printing from Foxpro (win98 client with DOS printing turned on), the print job does not reach the samba server print queue until the user shuts down the application. If I share the printer on a windows box, printing occurs immediately within the Foxpro application. Here are some of my settings
