similar to: managing users from smbpasswd rather than /etc/passwd

Are there any known vulnerabilities in portmap (redhat''s portmap-4.0-7b)? I''ve been receiving a lot of attempts to access the portmap port on some linuxppc machines I administer by various machines which clearly have no business with mine, and I wonder if this is an attempt to break in to my machines. I''ve searched some archives, but I haven''t yet found any

Is there a good way to stop and restart the samba server... for example to have it re read the smb.conf, without rebooting the actual pc? if I should kill a process should I kill them all ??? if so is there an efficent way to do this? thanks in advance Robert

Dear all, Lets say I have the following: > x <- c("Eve: Going to try something new today...", "Adam: Hey @Eve, how are you finding R? #rstats", "Eve: @Adam, It's awesome, so much better at statistics that #Excel ever was! @Cain & @Able disagree though :(", "Adam: @Eve I'm sure they'll sort it out :)", "blahblah") > x [1]

I need to set up some (err, a lot) of user accounts for (pop) mail and ftp access purposes. But disallow shell login access. What I can do to achieve this - and it works well - is to create a small script, thus: #!/usr/bin/tail +6 # # /etc/NOSHELL # # Login shell to prevent shell access for user accounts # ######################################################################### #

OS = RHEL 5 samba version 3.0.33-3.29 openldap 2.3 is it possible to have linux users stored in an ldap directory and still use the passdb backend = smbpasswd. I have an existing smbpasswd password db and an existing set of linux users I have migrated the linux users to LDAP and authenticating successfully until I have time to get all samba credentials migrated to ldap i still need use the

Hi all I am doing some stats work for a group of biologists who require windows metafiles (*.wmf) for their publications. To create these, I appear to have two choices: 1. Restart my machine in Windows and use savePlot 2. Keep my machine in linux, save as another format, then convert. I'd rather stay in linux; but how do I get wmf files? I looked at using ImageMagick's convert,

Hello, I try to connect a Windows 10 Microsoft Account which is tied to Windows login with my (standalone-)Samba-Server. With local users i do adduser username smbpasswd a smbuser And this runs for me. But how is to do with Microsoft Account which is tied to Windows login? I got these error-message in /var/log/syslog:   check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [testuser.user at

Dear all, I am interested in correctly testing effects of continuous environmental variables and ordered factors on bacterial abundance. Bacterial abundance is derived from counts and expressed as percentage. My problem is that the abundance data contain many zero values: Bacteria <-

Hello, I'm trying to use the nsswitch module. Everything compiled fine and I was happy to see my NT-domain-users with getent passwd. BUT getent passwd MYDOM+myuser doesn't work. ls -l returns only numeric uid's for domain members. After I tried a ls -l , getent passwd returns only the local users for some seconds. If I try it again 30 sec later I get the complete list again. I

Hi R Help Team I recently updated my R installation to R 3.4.3 and updated to later version of R Studio and I found that the package semPLS will not load even though installed and it seems to be failing on loading package lattice Getting the following error message: library(semPLS) Loading required package: lattice Error: package or namespace load failed for 'lattice': .onLoad failed in

All, I have scoured the archives and the How-to's and I am still having trouble getting a Win2k to join a samba hosted domain. I have come across different docs saying you need/do not need a root samba account and that it needs/does not need to have the same password. I am lost as to what I am missing. I created the machine account and added the smbpasswd -a -m machine name. I try and add the

This may be, or may not be a security issue, however, since alot of people still use tripwire-1.2 or lesser versions(this is what shipped with R.H. Linux 5.2 at least), they might be interested in following detail: Chuck Campbell (campbell@neosoft.com) pointed me out that tripwire dies with coredump on R.H. linux, if it hits a filename containing 128-255 characters. Playing a bit with debugger I

Hi all After posting what follows, Duncan Murdoch suggested perhaps a bug in formatC, or an error on documentation. Any comments? In particular, bug, error or not, any ideas about how I can consistently get two significant figures to print?

Hi all I'm using Sweave and LaTeX, and love how they interact. But here's a different interaction I'm not sure how to achieve; I hope someone can help. I use a simple example, of course, to demonstrate. Suppose in my LaTeX document I have this: Here is a linear equation: \begin{equation} y = -1 + 3 x \label{EQ:example} \end{equation} This appears in the final product

Hi all I'm using Sweave and find it a treat. But one question: I use Sweave to create my pictures which are automatically included into LaTeX. For example, in the file test.Snw, I may have: % LaTeX stuff \begin{figure} <<fig=true,width=5,height=5>>= x1 <- seq(1,5, length=10) x2 <- sin(x1) plot(x1,x2) @ \caption{Plot} \end{figure} % More LaTeX This produces the LaTeX

Hi, Hope this does not sound too ignorant . I am trying to detrend and transform variables to achieve normality and stationarity (for time series use, namely spectral analysis). I am using the boxcox transformations. As my dataset contains zeros, I found I need to add a constant to it in order to run "boxcox". I have ran tests adding several types of constants, from .0001

Hi there, I'm using the tweedie distribution package and I cant figure out how to run a model using an identity link. I know I can use a log link by having link.power=0 and I think identity would be link.power=1, but I'm not sure. Furthermore when I try running it with link.power=1 it requires starting values which I cant manage to give appropriately so I'm not sure if its

Hi there, I need to: 1. STORE a text of the below format in a (MySQL) database (using a ''textarea''), and then 2. RETRIEVE & DISPLAY it in exactly the same format (meaning: keeping all paragraphs/line breaks). The intended text format looks like this: *** Blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah, blah blahblah. <- NEW
