Is it better to start Samba using in initd, or to use the script, much like the one provided by SuSE. ?? so far I have used the script, but I don't like the fact of having to start samba manually. I would much prefer to see it run as a service. just to confirm all it really involves is starting smbd and nmbd Rowan [TSS] Gerber Scientific Products http://www.gspinc.com

I just set up my samba box as a pdc on small (4) network that I have at home. whenever I specify user shares on my 98 client it is unable to get the user list from the Samba. I am able to log on without problem as multiple users. I also notice that when I logon on my 98 client it copies config files every time I logon. I imagine that I may not have the necessary shares setup. I am running

After fighting with trying to rebuiled my src.rpm file. I decided to use a plain old fashion compile from the tar files. which worked ok, no settings changed. at about 11pm last night I finished and noticed a few things that made me a bit uneasy. 1) all the Samba bin files were installed in /usr/local/samba/.. 2) no smb.conf file was created. I used ./configure, make , make install when I

Dear mailing-list! I have Samba 2.0.6 on a Redhat 6.1 linux box. How can I make samba use the /etc/shadow file for authenticating users?

dear redhat, i examined a friend's system today, to help him configure it. assuming that he just "installed" from scratch the samba package, it appears that you have provided a default smb.conf file for redhat 6.1 that puts samba private configuration files in /etc. the suggested options, for example show "smbpasswd file = /etc/smbpasswd". this is REALLY bad. 1) you

Hi, I have a few remote user who use a PPTP based VPN. The server is running PoPToP (http://www.poptop.org/), and a pppd patched to support MPPE/MPPC for (some) added security.

In most cases, this has been fine, but users who are using HP Laserjet 4 printers are experiencing

Dear Speex developer(s), We are currently in the process of evaluating speech codecs for the transmission of wideband speech (fs=16kHz) at bitrates lower than 32 kb/s. Speex is a contender for this task. Practically we would have to port Speex to a specific 16 bit DSP if we would go for this. We should be able to handle this. But we would like to ask for your opinion regarding patent

Hi, Some time ago, I wrote a small script based on some information on one of the Samba lists, which let me figure out which machine a user was logged in on. The script was this:- # smbfind: watch for someone to log in PATH=/bin:/usr/bin case $# in 0) echo 'Usage: smbfind <nt_login>' 1>&2; exit 1 esac nmblookup -S "${1}#03" | awk '/<00> - /{print
