Gentlefolk, I need to give someone the ability to create Windows-format text documents, which I can then copy (via SMB) to a W2000 machine for further processing. I've got the file-sharing up and running, and Wine installed and running Windows Notepad OK, but I've hit a snag trying to set it up to load Notepad automatically when the file-icon is clicked :- Environment - ubuntu 6.06,

Hi, I am using Samba 1.9.18. The server is running on Solaris 2.5.1 and the client is on Win NT 4.0 I am annoyed by the Control-M characters appearing in text files when the files are edited on Windows editors and viewed in vi on Sun machine. I had to manually remove the Control-M characters. Is there a way to eliminate the Control M characters ? Thanks Krishna

New to Samba, so excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I've searched the different on line resources and can't find an answer. When I copy Perl scripts from my Windows 2000 machine to the UNIX Samba share on that same machine, a CR/LF appears at the end of each line instead of just the CR, making UNIX unhappy when I go to run those scripts. Any way to have Samba strip the LF

I go back and forth between windows and linux, and find myself running into problem with line endings. Is there a way to control the line ending conversion when writing files, such as write and cat? More explicitly I want to be able to write files with LF line endings rather than CRLF line ending on windows; and CRLF line endings instead of LF on linux, and I want to be able to control when the

I know that the smbclient only supports binary transfers. Is there any way to use samba that will perform the equivalent of the ASCII mode in FTP. In other words, change CR/LF to LF in Dos -> Unix transfers and to change LF to CR?LF in Unix to Dos transfers? My site is only using samba to transfer between Windows and Unix machines. And while I know that I could use ?unix2dos? and ?dos2unix?

I have had some success (read no noticed problems), moving some text conf files from a Win <cr,lf> format to Linux and have them work. For example my zone files, moving them from my Win DNS server. But what about other files? I guess I want to know this more to prevent a mistake from crashing things, as I do have GEDIT. If I were to build an anaconda-ks.cfg in notepad, write it to a

Is there any option that will covert a text file from one system to the other? I have a few files on linux with extension TXT. There are plain text files. On NT, TXT is associated with the "notepad" and opens with the file as one long string. This is the typical CR/LF conversions between Unix and DOS. Can Samba convert the text files based on the client? Subba Rao subb3@attglobal.net

Hi, just to avoid re-inventing the wheel, is there any document that can help me reduce even further a "minimum" installation of Centos 4.4 (BTW can you say 600mb is minimum)? I am in the process of creating a small Centos-4.4-based Asterisk box and I need to boot it from a CF card. Deleting useless packages will help me do what i want. Example: even a minimum install of Centos 4.4 (or

Hi, I have just set up samba v 2.0.0 on solaris, sharing to Win2k, win98 clients. All shares work fine, but users have come up with a problem. If a file (ASCII text) is created on the windows client on the share, when read on the solaris system, ctrlM (^M) characters appear in place of the carriage returns. How can I prevent carriage return from being replaced by ctrlM (^M). I reckon this is

Hi, I've checked all the docs I can find and this top icisn't mentioned, so I'm guessing there is no such thing, but I have users who swear that VisionFS used to automatically convert unix text files to windows text files (change the EOL to have both a carriage return and a newline, instead of just a newline). I think the user is mistaken, but just wanted to check. Is there a way

Hi List, When doing 'ael reload' on two servers, which are setup with asterisk 1.4.22 and 1.4.35 respectively, I am getting multiple lines of this strange error: ERROR[15483]: ael.flex:647 ael_yylex: Unhandled char(s): On three other servers with same versions of asterisk, i.e. 1.4.22, I don't see this error. Number of lines of the error are the same as the number of lines of the

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

If we drag a file from a Windows directory - say autoexec.bat and drop it onto a samba mapped Unix drive, when we then go to the Unix box and vi the file all the lines end in the DOS EOL character (^M) is there any option/configuration in samba to make it convert DOS text files to UNIX format?

Hi everybody! I hope that you are not already "pissed off" of all the crlf/lf conversion discussion between dos and unix ;-) Concerning that topic I have a question / suggestion: This is what we have: We are using a Win NT 4.0 Server with Win95 clients. Additionally we have a Sun (Solaris 2.5) running in the same network. To access the Sun in character mode we use a terminal

Hi, I am running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8, and have shared out a directory containing some simple text files. The issue I am experiencing is the following: If the files are FTP'd from the Unix box to a Windows machine and opened using Notepad, the formatting is correct. If the same files are either opened directly or copied (from the Samba share) from the Unix box to the Windows machine,

I have a Dell 1950 box on evaluation with 2 SATA drives connected to the on board Dell PERC 5/i with the disks set up as a mirror I've installed CentOS4.4 (x86_64) on the system and now I'm trying to install/configure/use the Dell OpenManage tools that came on a CD with the system. I've installed the tools using the provided install script and they appeared to install OK.

Hi all, I have a csv file containing words with *UNPRINTABLE ASCII* characters (described in the following table). Are there any viable method in eliminating these characters? I realise that *EXTENDED ASCII* characters (i.e , ¡, ¢, £, ¤ etc) can be removed or replaced via *"gsub"* or *"gregexpr"* functions. But am not certain with the *UNPRINTABLE ASCII* characters. Your

On the page: http://libguestfs.org/hivexregedit.1.html#encoding Under "ENCODING" section is this command: unix2dos linux.reg | iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-16le > win.reg I couldn't get that to work without placing a redirection operator ('<') after "unix2dos". Could this be due to my version of unix2dos? Or just a typo. I'm a Linux n00b so my apologies for
