Hi all, For people who are looking for some objective numbers to help recommend Samba to their employers (I know there are some of you on this list :-) you might want to look at the following couple of articles. The first one is in Smart Reseller (a USA trade press magazine) at : http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/issue/0,4537,2196106,00.html titled : "The Best Windows File Server:

Hi, I was wondering how a linux box configured as a firewall stacked up against some of the commercial products like checkpoint-1 and gauntlet. Can someone direct me to a good book or online doc that compares linux to some other firewall methods? Mind you, I''m not talking about a firewall in the classical sense, ie ip forwarding turned off and used as a proxy, but the typical Linux box

Michel, One approach that hasn't been suggested is to block access to the netbios nameservice port on the samba host with a firewalling rule. That way the other computers on the subnet can't register themselves with nmbd. Suppose that your internal network is all within the 192.168.15.0/24 network. Each Windows workstation will automatically announce itself with a udp packet broadcast

Hello Everyone, I have installed samba-1.9.17p4 on a linux 2.0.29 box, but the server work correctly only as a client. Testparm runs ok, but when i try to list the shares available on my server, this is the output: Added interface ip = 195.32.68.131 bcast = 195.32.68.191 nmask = 255.255.255.192 Session request failed (0,0) with myname = DNS2 destname = DNS2 Unspecified error 0x0 Your server

I just downloaded samba-1.9.18p3.tar.gz and compiled it on a DEC 3000/300 running OSF/1 v3.0 (uname -mrsv gives: "OSF1 V3.0 347 alpha") using the built-in cc compiler. The compiler gives the following warning: Compiling nmbd_incomingdgrams.c /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/cfe: Warning: nmbd_incomingdgrams.c, line 452: Unknown character \ ignored ((DEBUGLEVEL>=(5))?(Debug1

Hi, i have a annoying problem that drives me crazy. We have set up a Digital/Unix box with samba and the clients (W95) can mount the shares from this box. On the Unix side we create a textfile which will be periodically (or not) appended with new data. A Application on the W95 side reads this file. The Problem is, that the textfile has new lines, the Application don't see them !!! To

eWeek reviewed Samba 2.2 at : http://www.zdnet.com/eweek/stories/general/0,11011,2712294,00.html - they seem to like it ! It's certainly encouraging to get trade coverage like this, I'm hoping the more people who report Samba use in their organisation to press outlets will encourage them to cover more Open Source/Free Software products ! Cheers, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team. --

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi everyone - Someone I''m working with has a requirement to map ethernet card addresses to unique IP addresses, and then have a Linux IP masquerade server know of this mapping list and not allow any data to pass from any ethernet card that a) it doesn''t know about, or b) isn''t assigned the right IP. Ideally it would also log this

This is an article I came across on zdnet.com. You may or may not agree with it. Personally, I don't. Anyway, here's the link to it. I thought some of you might want to read it, and form your own opinion. http://blogs.zdnet.com/Murphy/?p=769 Thanks for the help on the wireless problem. Jim

Hi So after reading this, felt I should apply the fix to a CentOS6 VPS that I have. http://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-tcp-flaw-lets-anyone-hijack-internet-traffic/ The article doesn't talk about CentOS or Redhat, but I assume the problem is the same, and hoping the solution is the same. However that doesn't seem to be the case. [root at vps ~]# uname -r 2.6.32-042stab108.7 [root at

>From time to time someone will comment in this list that their Samba server has disappeared from the list of hosts in Network Neighborhood. Browsing the list archive has yet to turn up any good explanation of this phenomenon. I think I have a clue. This morning my server disappeared again. When I checked the process list on the server I noticed that nmbd had been swapped out to disk. The

Hello all. Does anybody have experience with pushing CentOS in enterprise? I have the following situation. I tried to promote CentOS to local bank. They have now a couple of Gentoo-based systems and I tried to explain them that CentOS is much better option for enterprises. IT department is interested in stability of the system, so they are ready to give CentOS a try. But the problem came from

Hi, there. While waiting for the encoder RC1, I will report some minor problems I experienced with Peter's Winamp decoder. First, I am using Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder v.1.11a with Winamp v.2.76 on Windows 98 SE. 1. When the buttons of Playlist Editor are extended, the part extended in playlist screen seems to be flickering when an Ogg file is being played. 2. I check the option of

Questions re this statement in the ZDNET article -- "In all cases, users reported that downgrading systems to a previous release to reverse the BootHole patches usually fixed their problems." A previous release of what? GRUB2 So that's my first question. Second. I'm assuming the the muti-screen UEFI settings I see are standard for more recent BIOS -- not sure of version. Do
