similar to: Setting up Samba on Red Hat Linux 6.1

Hi, I am having some troubles setting samba up nicely on my Slackware 7.1 machine. It is currently just a web/ftp server mainly for my personal use at home. I downloaded the tarball samba-2.0.7 and did everything to install it "properly." I edited services to include: netbios-ns 137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm

I've just started using rsync, and it's way cool. I checked the FAQ, the broken mailing list archive search function, and scanned the archives, but didn't see this mentioned. I presume it's a fairly common need: I'm mirroring files automatically and daily from one site to another, and anticipate the day when the size of the files may exceed the size of the destination disk.

Hi, I must say that i admire very much the printing documentation written by one of your samba team. I wish every documentations is like this! -- It explains to a newbie like me what I need to know. It is amazing: i read it and in my head a few questions start to go round. I read 1 page more and the questions are answered. It is not good that the other documentation pages of the howto

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

I'm in the process of beginning to set up Samba with the aid of the book Special Edition Using Samba. The problem that I have is that I cannot get the service to run. I am using Red Hat 7.2 - kernel 2.4.9-13. I modified the smb.conf file and get the following when running the "testparm" command: Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]"

The old entry in the FAQ, quoted below, is now confusing through no fault of the FAQ author. > 3.5 - Password authentication doesn't work (eg on Slackware 7.0 or Red Hat 6.x) The problem is that Red Hat has now published Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and 6.1, normally written RHEL 6.0. Some software purchasers and new admins are not aware that Red Hat 6.0 was actually the name of a much

Hello, Recently I realized that entering first 8 characters from my root password is enough to log in as root although I've enabled MD5 passwords in installation program. Also I've added two other users during installation. After looking through /etc/shadow it seems that root's password isn't md5 although passwords of other two users are md5. Is it correct behaviour?

I wrote part of a FAQ last November, and if you're interested in the breakdown of GCC, GLibC and kernel adoption since Red Hat Linux 4.0, you'll want to read this: http://www.geocities.com/thebs413/RH-Distribution-FAQ-3.html I've been loosely working on a "Linux Configuration Management" book covering Red Hat distributions since. I might update this FAQ if I have

Let me explain: When I dial into Asterisk ( I have a SIP trunk - which I need to make sure is not faulty), I only get one-way voice communication. The calling party, from the SIP trunk hears nothing - the extension rings on the Asterisk server (you can see it in the CLI and hear it at the computer), and the softphone rings However, when you answer the SIP softphone , you can only hear the

Anyone played with or know the status of Red Hat Directory Server on CentOS 5? I had some problems getting this to work on CentOS 4.4, but am very interested in using this instead of regular OpenLDAP as it supports two way synchronization to Active Directory. Noah

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows about version-number correlation between RHDS and FDS. I've sofar been quite unable to find anything about it.

This is a "heads up" for anyone who relies on PAM session management in order to clean up after a login session. Red Hat 5.2''s login does not perform PAM session management correctly, potentially resulting in sessions which lose their authentication before the login shell starts. login.c in Red Hat 5.2''s util-linux package was modified so that it no longer forks a

Can anyone provide me with their (fairly) impartial opinion on which major current distribution (Debian 1.2 or Red Hat 4.0) provides better security? I have heard a lot of people sticking up for their favorite, but few real facts/insights on them from a security point of view. Red Hat seems to be favored by novices for no-brainer installation and graphical configuration programs (which
