similar to: managing users from smbpasswd rather than /etc/passwd (PR#9932)

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

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

Ran into a weird problem, and this seemed a good forum to toss it out into -- if I've gaffed, please let me know. Just upgraded my RH5.0 box to RH5.2. Went well, worked nearly seamlessly. When running 5.0, though, I'd installed the opie-fied ftpd that comes with the most recent opie package (ftp://ftp.inner.net/pub/opie/opie-2.32.tar.gz) and had it work without a hitch. I'd also

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

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 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? P. ---------- Original Message ---------- Hi all I am not a C programmer, but I am trying to understand formatC to get consistent printing of

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 love Sweave; use it all the time. But I recently received a new computer, and ever since I have had a problem I've never seen before. For example, I place the following in my Snw file: <<>>= sms <- read.table("http://www.sci.usq.edu.au/staff/dunn/Datasets/applications/popular/smsspeed.dat", header=TRUE) attach(sms) sms.lm <- lm( Time ~ Age*Phone,

Hi all I posted a couple of days ago about how to end up with wmf files eventually in R for linux. The short answer was: you (probably) can't...and don't! The journal in question also accepts TIFF files, I am told (it's a physiology journal). So I adjust my question: What is the best way to get TIFF files out of R? It can't create them directly as far as I can tell.

Hi all I have a plot with lines, one specified as (say) lty=1, using standard line types, and another as (say) my own spec: lty="51". I can't get legend to display both. Toy example: > plot(1~1) > legend("topright", lty=c("51",1), legend=c("My own","Standard")) Error in segments(x1, y1, x2, y2, ...) : invalid line type: must be

Hi all I am using R to produce postscript pictures via the postscript command. I have never had any problems... until now, when I want to inlcude my .ps file is a LaTeX document *without* a white background. (If it's important, I'm using the prosper class with the whitecross option, so the background in blue.) I would like my .ps file to have a white background. If I read the help

Hi all Suppose I do the following: set.seed(1000) library(xtable) x <- runif( 10 ) y <- 1 + 2*x + rnorm( length(x) ) test.lm <- lm( y ~ x ) summary( test.lm ) xtable ( summary( test.lm ) ) The final xtable output follows: % latex table generated in R 1.8.1 by xtable 1.2-2 package % Tue Jun 22 09:56:36 2004 \begin{table}[ht] \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{rrrrr} \hline &

Hi all I am having troubles making sense of why code (1) below fails but code (2) below works. Code (1): > phi.1 <- 1 > plot(0 ~ 0, + main=substitute(paste("A vaue for ",phi," = ",phival), list(phival=phi.1)) ) Error in paste("The two deviances for ", phi, " = ", 2) : Object "phi" not found But this works: Code (2): >

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,

Hi all I have a question about plotting line types and legends. Here's a short piece of code to demonstrate: x <- y <- seq(1,10) plot(x,y, type ="l", lty="33") lines(x,y+1, lty=1) legend( 8,2,legend=c("lty=1","lty=\"33\""), lty=c(1,"33") ) On my system (see below), the line types in the legend are not the same as in the

Hi all Two questions: 1. I note that help for the postscript device claims "The postscript produced by R is EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) compatible...". It does not say it is EPS *compliant*. Indeed, the EPS produced by R includes a \showpage command which I believe (not that I'm an expert!) non-standard EPS. My question: Is there any reason why it is EPS compatible, but

Hi all I have just downloaded the sma package from CRAN. On installing on my linux machine, I get the message > library(sma) > data(MouseArray) Warning message: file 'MouseArray.RData' has magic number 'RDX1' Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated Hereafter, MouseArray is not found: > MouseArray Error: object "MouseArray" not found We were

Hi all, I am trying to package a library in R 1.6.1 (Windoze XP). I have read the document "Writing R extensions" and think I have done things correctly (though apparently not). I have searched the mail archives for help to no avail. When I try to attach the library using, eg > library( libname, lib.loc=path.to.library) I get this message: Warning message: NAs introduced by

Hi all I wish to create a ps file of a picture produced in R. With my limited R, I see two ways: 1. Print direct to the postscript device 2. Print to the screen, and save to ps using dev.print. I want a white (not transparent) background. Option 1 above works fine, but 2 does not: even when I say I want a white background, I get transparent; perhaps I misread the help files. Here's some R

Dear List Many thanks to those who helped me yesterday regarding possible ways to increase memory size in R. I have found the inefficient part of my program to be a double for() loop, and was wondering if anybody could suggest an alternative to using this double loop which would speed things up. The program looks like this: for (j in 1:m) { for (i in 1:n) {
