Greetings! I'm experimenting with the 2.0.0.alpha13 snapshot and attempting to get my four Solaris fileservers to present a single uniform (automounter-like) namespace to our NT clients. Re-wording, I'd like PC clients to see a single "server" that appears to share all of the Unix home directories on four fileservers. The automounter shields my Unix users from the operational

Greetings, I'm using 2.0.0-alpha13 on Solaris (compiling with gcc 2.8.1 on Solaris 2.5, running on 2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.6). I see this in the smb.conf.5 man page: nis homedir (G) Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on a workstation on demand from a remote

OK, I'm taking another run at this thing. My experiments with the TNG branch are on hold. I won't be allowed to put up a non-Microsoft domain controller anyway, so I'm stepping back to just putting up a good fileserver. I'm testing the head branch code under Solaris 7 on SPARC (calamity). The code I'm using was checked out yesterday. I've got three other Solaris 2.6

There was some discussion recently about the Solaris /dev/random support that can be downloaded from Sun's patch archive as part of a patch to the Sun Web Server 1.0 product. The SUNWski package is the interesting bit that purports to provide /dev/random. It was noted that domestic and international versions of the patch existed and that only the international (no encryption) version was

Does agent forwarding work with DSA keys? I'm using 2.2.0p1 on RedHat Linux 6.2 (Alpha) and Solaris 2.6 (SPARC). If I ssh-add my RSA key into the local agent and ssh to another machine, the agent connection is forwarded properly. (I can say "ssh-add -l" and see my keys.) If I ssh-add my DSA key into the local agent and "ssh -2" to another machine, the agent connection

Hello, I have attempted several times to compile openssh3.1p1 that will use a random package called ANDIrand. How can I compile and get ssh to use this random number generator? I have tried the --rand-helper switch with my configure and still it does not work. I am compiling in Solaris 8, and need to then create a package that can be used on Solaris 6, Solaris 7, and Solaris 8. Thanks, Eric

OK, I've hacked configure so that it simply checks that it can link with openssl. Now, when I run make, it dies on authfile.c while trying to include the non-existent headers openssl/rc5.h and openssl/idea.h. I built my installation of openssl without those algorithms in order to avoid commercial licensing issues. The following diff band-aids the problem, but I think it's down-stream of

Hello Readers, Is it possible to disallow creation of filenames containing whitespace characters on Samba Shares ? This is causing headaches sometimes on the unix side of life. TIA -- Werner SETI@home workunit: 119 CPU-Time: 8623439.55

John Dodge asked this same question back in December, but I haven't seen any response in the archives. So, here it is again: Samba appears not to be able to authenticate users whose account lives in a Win2k domain. I have a couple Samba 2.0.4b servers that use the local NT 4 PDC for authentication. The NT admins tell me that the new Win2k domain has a trust relationship with the old NT 4

I have a couple Samba servers running 2.0.4a on Solaris 2.6. They generally give me no trouble, and have been stable for a long time. I'm in the process of qualifying 2.0.7, but feel no great urgency to upgrade. However, one day last week several users reported trouble getting to their files. I changed the debug level several times during the day to try to diagnose the problem. With

We use Samba 2.0.6 as server, the clients are about 10 NCD WinCenter (NT 3.51 multiuser, WinCenter 3.0.34 based on Citrix WinFrame 1.6) machines with about 70 concurrent users each and several WinCenter (as above) and NT Terminal Server (NT 4.0 multiuser with MetaFrame/WinCenter (X11 addon)) machines. The 2.0.6 smb.conf manpage says: nt smb support (G) This boolean

I asked this question back on Monday and haven't seen any responses. Have I not stated the problem clearly enough? Does it appear as if I have not done my homework? Is nobody actually trying to integrate Samba with Win2k domains? Am I not being patient enough? If you've got a clue about how to get Samba to authenticate a user who happens to have his account in a Win2k domain, please

Hello! I would really appreciate any hints to a little puzzle that has been gnawing at me about remote sessions with ssh... (and likely all connectivity programs...) Because network connections can only talk in ASCII, there is no way to tell the difference between TAB and "Ctrl-i" (i.e. pressing Ctrl and i keys together). BOTH are transmitted as same ASCII code. Likewise, Ctrl-m and

How do i unsubscribe??

I have three Sun fileservers running Samba 2.0.4b. They're setup to authenticate with the local NT PDC, "iss-tech-f". In particular, they've got this in their smb.conf files: security = domain password server = iss-tech-f encrypt passwords = yes This setup has been stable for many months, and I routinely point to it as a success story for open source. Now that

This is probably a know problem (problem for me anyway) in R but I don't quite know what to search for in help archives. When I name a column "x11" in a data frame R thinks a column named "x1" exists. In my application I am trying to test for the existence of a column, then add it if it's not there. Here is a simple example: > temd <- data.frame(x11=c(0:10)) >

For what it's worth--only minimal time spent trying new version. Bug: OpenSSH-2.5p1 does not find version 2 host key in directory specified by sysconfdir in configure.

We are seeing erratic behaviour from Samba for connecting Unix drives to an NT terminal Server. Samba version 2.0.6 Solaris 2.6 NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition with service pack 4 running WinCenter NIS Logon Utility. The NT server is not part of a domain and uses the WinCenter Logon Utility to authenticate username and passwords from my Unix NIS server. Samba is set up for server level

A long time ago, and I could be mistaken, I thought samba could be configured so that instead of a smbd process per user/machine it would spawn a process per share/user/machine. If it still can, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! Weldon Godfrey Sr. Systems Specialist Science Applications International Corporation

Sorry if this is an old problem. I have just installed 1.9.18p10 - the latest version. I noticed the nis homedir option in the config file, but have not had much luck in implementing it. I had hoped it would mean my [homes] shares would map to the correct server - the one which physically carries a users home directory - regardless of the machine to which the connection attempt was made. My
