similar to: FUD or foolishness? Windows XP Home and Samba

I'm working on a commercial project that would benefit immensely from the use of rsync. However, I cannot convince management that rsync is a worthy tool due to the rote "it's shareware, it's not supported" FUD. Are there any documented, corportate users of rsync? Testimonials? In short, how do I drag this risk-averse group out of the FTP age into the rsync present? /p

I'm working on getting Dovecot set up on my school's mailserver, as an IMAP and POP server. Everything is going well, move over to maildir went well, and all that... The catch: When I coverted from mbox to maildir (as part of this whole process), I put the Maildir folders under user home dirs -- and the home dirs are mounted via NFS from a server. This is for reasons of space as well as

I realized that my last message about locking gave bad information -- or rather, very little information. Here's my setup: - Home directories and user login information are located on an Xserve running Mac OS X 10.2.6. Home directories are split between 2 different directories -- /Users and /Students. Home dirs are exported via NFS to the mail server. User login info is shared via LDAP

I have setup samba with msdfs, and configured it. The problem is that it works with some windows 2000 workstations, but not with others, even if they are at the same service pak levels. I.e, I have workstation a and workstation b, both running 2000. On workstation a, I can map the dfs share to a drive, and be able to access everything in that share (which is different shares on different

In the up and coming wiki, don't forget to have an FAQ/Fight against FUD section. Looking at the web in January an upstream vendor employee said some things in his wiki. In Feb/March CentOS was discussed on the Fedora-list/Slashdot. - Common myths about the legality/ethicality of CentOS - CentOS providing value to Open Source as a whole - Projects emanating from CentOS like SMEServer

I have just got an email was trying to source videos for theora test media here is the message: "Intrinsically H.264 properly encoded should be about 30% more efficient than Theora." is this FUD or not? tom_a_sparks

Hi, I am having some trouble trying to install a number of packages in R on my work computer. An example of the code I am using is as follows: install.packages("ggplot2",dependencies=TRUE) An example of the error messages I am getting is: Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz/bin/windows/contrib/2.9 Warning: unable to access index for

the protocols in. Trying to stifle the Small Businesses from using Home Edition on their networks trying reduce their costs I bet. Personally I figure Smart Co's are going to say bite me and move to Linux. Using http://www.ximian.org software my users can do whatever their WinDoze counterparts can with Word Excel printing and it just keeps getting simpler to install and use Linux for the end

As part of the effort towards Samba 3.0, a number of features have disappeared. This message is intended to gauge the reaction that would occur if Samba 3.0 was released with these features still absent. Users who need these features should indicate exactly how vital they feel they are, and (if possible) the effort they would be able to put into reimplementing/supporting/testing it if it was

Hi. I've now been told the name of our Kerberos server for the Active Directory that I'm trying to join my Samba 3.0 alpha 21 to. As described on http://techupdate.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t481-s2122363-p2,00.html, I configured /etc/krb5.conf like this: [root@ugkbase samba]# cat /etc/krb5.conf [logging] default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log admin_server =

Dear colleagues, I wish to report a problem I encounter when trying to save a graphic to file. When I produce a graphic and try to save it R becomes unresponsive and I must force quit, and then restart R. The problem occurs when I try to overwrite an existing graphic: for example when I made changes to the graphic and want to save the graphic using the original file name. It only happens when I

I was recently talking to a friend of mine who produces what's widely referred to as "techno", music that's heavy on electronically generated loops and effects, samples, and has plenty of bass. He doesn't like ogg for a few reasons - he sent me a rather long email, and I've stripped out the nonsense from it (he has some technically irrelevant reasons for not liking

Hey, I'd like to apologize in advance if this is an old issue that everyone already dealt with in some new mechanism... But I compiled today's CVS for the first time in a few months, and when i tried to fire up programs/games with --desktop geom 640x480 (or any other dimensions) I get an "unknown option --desktop" error and the "usage" list pops up. I read the man

Dear Wolfgang, Thanks for your response. No, I haven't tried doing the complete reinstallation as you suggest. If I recall correctly, this has happened on previous occasions but like I said in my email it's not all that disruptive to my workflow. It's more like a 'first world problem'. I was encouraged to submit the query because I had correspondence with someone involved

Hi everyone. I just got a copy of Win2k in and have been messing with it. Have a question, and have searched the archives for the answer, but didn't find it. Can Win2k domain logon to a pre-3.0.0 samba server? Or di I need to get TNG running? I can get NT4.0 boxes to authenticate and login fine (Samba pre-3.0.0), but Win2k keeps complaining: "The following error occurred validating
