Please excuse me if this has been covered, but I just noticed something odd with samba 2 beta 1. If I use smbclient to connect to a passworded resource on a win machine (I've tried it with 98/95) and I just hit enter for the password, it lets me in. No questions asked. So, I pretty much have unlimited read access to stuff I should not be able to get to. Best Regards. If this is the wrong

I want to install a linux samba server to serve 30 win9x machines. I want to prevent users from writing on the local drives, they should have write access only to their home dirs on the samba box. These users have a nasty habit of deleting crucial system files. Is it at all possible with win9x and samba? Of course NT workstations could resolve the problem, but that's not an option with these

I'm toying with the idea of writing a Samba-oriented Win95/98/NT logon window. I know it's possible to replace Windows' logon mechanism with another. Novell's Client32 does this. I know there's also standards to make a network service available to Windows' change-password mechanism (so I can fire smbpasswd on the other side). That could be an alternative to establishing

I'm sure this is a FAQ, though I couldn't find it in any FAQ or the docs... How do I have Samba authenticate users via the local UNIX passwd file? -- Gregor Mosheh An NT server can be run by an idiot, and usually is. "If you can't make it good, make it LOOK good." - Bill Gates

I have samba installed on a web server (behind a firewall). It's working fine with all the WINS networking here (eg, password authentication from the NT servers, etc). I (we) want this web server - a linux redhat 5.x box currently running samba-1.9.18p8 - to have as few actual unix login accounts as possible. What I want/need to do is to allow LOTS of people in the faculty here

The Samba FAQ mentions a program called timesync to update the system clock on clients from the server. The download address in the FAQ is out of date - where can I get a copy ?

Hi! Is there any syntax for read list or write list in smb.conf that allows me to specify users NOT in a group?

Our ISP experienced backbone problems yesterday. Our backbone provider's backbone provider (EMBRATEL, the newly-privatized telecom company of Brazil) went down for a few hours. That was a big problem itself, but what I'll tell you is a weird side effect: Samba stopped working on our local network!!! I checked DNS, resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, smb.conf, everything! While our Internet

I have an old dos app that doesn't run in the win95 shell very well. There are problems with the graphics. Is it possible to connect to a samba server from real dos? I assume the answer is no but I thought I would check. Verne Ball vball@socrates.berkeley.edu

Because, a bug in a sofware, I need to see (on a NT box) the name of files in upercase. The files are writen by a buggy UNIX process in lowercase. Any one have idea ? Didier JANNE Janne@securite.org

hello everyone, i am setting up my computer and want to establish internet connection over ADSL. For this i have to use pptp. The annoying thing is, that doing 'pptp 10.0.0.138' i get a connection only every second time. Perhaps it is a problem, that i cannot stop pptp but killing it, and therefore pppd has to clean up? i am using pppd 2.4.3 and pptp 1.5.0 Thanks in advance

I'm writing a script to sync some mp3 files. Due to a limitation in the number of destination files that can be read from my thumb drive, I'm not looking to preserve the original file structure (actually, I'm looking to sync *only the files* to the new destination directory). The source files are all subfolders under /backup/Music: ./Adrian Legg/Mrs. Crowe's Blue Waltz/Paddy

I have two identical disks /dev/sdb1 == source /dev/sdc1 == dest When I rsync the source -> dest rsync -a /tree2/ /tree2m the destination size id considerably larger. /dev/sdb1 17654736 6513064 10244848 39% /tree2 /dev/sdc1 17654736 7691192 9066720 46% /tree2m When I look down into the directories I find the following /tree2 ...

I just got a G4 running MacOS 10.3 today, so I immediately downloaded R from CRAN. To my disappointment, it insists on installing in a fixed place and requires a root password to do so. University policy is that if your machine is on the net, you WON'T get root access nohow, unless you're a designated sysadmin, which I'm not. Is there any alternative to downloading a source

Is it forseeably possible to get Carbonite Online Backup running in Wine? This is something I've wanted to get working in Wine for quite a while now and have tried to do so every now and then (I think as far back as last year). Just now bringing this to the forums. I tried it again today and earlier this week with Wine 1.3.35. Nothing visible other than endless babbling outputting from
