Hello, Anyone out there running a production network supporting PC and Macintosh clients using samba and netatalk. we are currently using NT 4.0 with AppleTalk-IP software. Sharing the same files with the Macs and the pc is a must. I read someplace that samba 2.2.2 supports Appletalk. Is this true? Thanks, Joe

Some use Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html) or DoubleTalk (http://www.connectix.com/products/dt.html). However, we use Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) successfully to share the Unix/Samba file system with our Mac clients. Is there any reason you can't use Netatalk?

I have been searching through the docs and on the web to no avail. I work at a university and we are moving our fileservers to new hardware. The problem is, nothing seems to integrate Mac's and Win box's happily. We have a large user base using samba already, but when mac's pick up the same share via CAP, CAP creates files to deal with the dual 'stream' nature of files from a

Hey! I have been given the task to mirror our fileserver's filesystem onto a secondary machine for redundancy. The first thing that came to mind was rsync, but now I have few questions as I am far from an expert on this matter. Our file server is running Debian Stable. We use Samba for our Windows users and Netatalk (AFP) for our OS X clients. The filesystem used on the server is

I have a data.frame paint (below-mentioned). In SPlus I used the command raov( MOISTURE ~ BATCH / PROBE ) (you could do raov( MOISTURE ~ BATCH + PROBE%in%BATCH) as well) so that the factors are taken as random. In R this function raov doesn't exist. How can I calculate the same? Maybe with lme, but how? str(paint) ---------- `data.frame': 60 obs. of 5 variables: $ BATCH : Factor

I recently installed DAVE on two of the office Macintoshes. (running 0S9.2 and OS8.6)(DAVE is mac to windows(samba) filesharing utility) I use SAMBA from the testing version of DEBIAN. The mac's leave alot of files on the shares that i find annoying. Is there a method I could use to prevent the mac from leaving it's "trash". (filname filtering perhaps)

Anytime a PC on our network copies a file to our server and a macintosh client goes to view that file, the type and creator codes are incorrect. We are running Samba for Windows clients and Xinet KA-Share for Mac clients. I think it has something to do with the resource forks. I can copy a file to the server from a Mac then copy the file from the server to a windows machine and back again

Hi everyone! What's the best filesystem to use for the mail spool? I'm debating between Debian with xfs or FreeBSD with zfs. I'm not sure which way to go. I'm migrating from cyrus. I have about 50 users so it's not a large setup. Cheers! Monika -- Monika Janek Systems Administrator, Side Effects Software Toronto, Ontario Canada 416-504-9876 x207 www.sidefx.com

In my pursuit of integrating samba password authentication with our own stuff, I've been looking at ways on synchronizing the two. And here are the two problems for which I hope to get either solution: a) smbpasswd will not pass down spaces to whatever is called for synchronization. Barely looking at the synchronization routine, it scans as a string, which would skip anything after a space.

I have a client who has a bunch of macs accessing some samba shares, and they write these ._filename and .DS_STORE files all over the place, he would perfer it to not write these files at all. Anyone ran into this issue? what would be the best way to prevent these files from getting written onto the shares? veto? -- Matt Pruett <entelin@logicaldreams.net>

Dear members, I have started to work with R recently and there is one thing which I could not solve so far. I don't know how to define macros in R. The problem at hand is the following: I want R to go through a list of 1:54 and create the matrices input1, input2, input3 up to input54. I have tried the following: for ( i in 1:54) { input[i] = matrix(nrow = 1, ncol = 107)

Hi , I am programming on a windows system and have problems using notepad which is my main editor.Each time I try to open the editor from the R IDE, R crashes. So I always have to copy my codes from notepad and paste in R to run them. CAn someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong or is there a better editor(freeware) which I could get. thanks cilver ===== ===================== Sylvie B.

Hello, I try to find a function for M-estimation in multivariate linear regression model (function that can estimate betas in my model: y=x * beta + e, where y is a matrix). I´ve searched R-site for a long time, but I am hopeless. I would like to ask, if there is any function for M-estimation in multivariate linear regression model in R. I know I can estimate betas in my model by rlm() function

Hi, I have successfully installed Samba on a Solaris2.7 system and created the smbpasswd file using mksmbpasswd.sh Now I want to set passwords for all users. But when I try to run "smbpasswd" or "smbpasswd username" as root the following error message occurs: -------------- make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed?

Hello, Can anyone give me arguments that could convince someone to choose for Samba for file and print sharing instead of setting up a NT-server? Performance ? Stability ? Benchmarks ? Tests that someone has done? Things like: "It's free" or "You don't need a powerful machine" are irrelevant to our administrators. I'm looking for answers on questions like:

Hi, I am running samba on linux and solaris 2.6. I have no problem making encrypted passwords work on linux meaning I have Windows 98 and NT users able to map a drive to their home directories on the samba server. I am having problems doing the same thing on solaris 2.6. I have run the mksmbpasswd.sh and the smbpasswd file got created. I have added the following lines to my smb.conf file:

Hi everyone! I have dovecot (1.2.11) on one our external mail servers acting as a proxy. The client (ifor now, my iphone) connects fine via ssl to the external mailserver but I can't seem to get a secure connection now to the internal destination imap server (between external mail server and internal imap server, it's going through port 143). Running tcpdump, I can clearly see my

Hello.. I wonder, in which way Samba supports PAM? I downloaded samba-2.0.6-19991110 and there I found in changelog it's compiled with --with-pam.. My desire is to authenticate Samba users against Novell NDS. I managed to do this (under Linux) with many programs but Samba somehow resists :) I put something like this into /etc/pam.d/samba : auth required

Hi, I have a samba installation on a sun E250. It works in servermodus to authenticate users with a Windows-PDC. Now I've the problem when a user connects to a networkdrive on the sun, sometimes it works, but sometimes it fails. then he would ask to input his password again and after 3 times his account is deactivated on the PDC. in the logfile from the pdc I see during a connect first
