Dear list readers, we run Samba 2.2.3a on our server system. It servers as a primary domain controller to a group of Win2k SP2 workstations. Workstation can automatically join the domain (using the administrator's account) and access all file shares. We are experiencing a strange behaviour when it comes to install drivers or certain software packages. Just two examples: ACDsee v3: Admin

Got the same problem with the account Administrator. I have created Administrator on unix with group ntadmin. The user belong to group ntuser and always have problems to access installed software. All installed Files are created with owner Administrator:ntadmin. After changing the owner of all installed files to Administrator:ntuser the problems are gone. I will change the primary group of

This sounds like an advertisement, but I've got nothing to gain. Just thought you might like to know about this. If you're cloning a bunch of Windows boxes, you'll have a problem with SID's... they'll all be the same. That's a bad thing. Maybe you have a need to change a SID... perhaps a dual-boot box where you want the computer names and IP addresses to be the same. This

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Ok, i have the programs installed on a working (albeit crashes a lot) WinXP install... the problem is DLL loading... its clearly not loading DLLs in the same dir as the exe... see below ACDSee (Registered Version): # wine ACDSee.exe Could not stat /mnt/cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive E: err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) MFC42.DLL (which is needed by C:\Program Files\ACD

Hi! I managed to get ACDSee 8.0 installed via wine 0.9.14 but it doesn't run due to missing DLLs, like MFC71.DLL. There were other DLLs it complained about missing that were part of the ACDSee installation but since MFC71.DLL isn't there, no dice. :( Anywho, I want to uninstall ACDSee such that the registry is properly cleaned up, etc. How do I go about doing this? I'm about

This bounced back from "samba@lists.samba.org", I guess the posting addr is samba@samba.org(?)...

I have my XP-Pro machine setup as a member of an Samba-based Domain server. I usually run as "linda@<localmachine>", but wanted to try running a program using "RunAs" in the "Home", DOMAIN my machine belongs to. The runas command says: RUNAS [ [/noprofile | /profile] [/env] [/netonly] ] /user:<UserName> program with Notes: NOTE: Enter user's

I made a quick change to syslogd(8) so that it can drop root privileges immediately after starting up. It opens up the log sockets (UNIX and network domains) and writes the PID files before dropping privs. It drops privs before openning log files and writing to users. Therefore, you would need to modify your log file permissions appropriately. As for writing to users, ttys generally are writeable

Hi, First of all, The problem i am having is not directly related to Samba. So apologies, however there are a lot of people on this list who know a good deal about how windows (and related technologies) work so i'm hoping they can shed some light on the matter. Background : I successfully completed a migration from a Windows NT4 Domain to s Samba domain with LDAP backend about 2 months.

Hi Sambatistas, a few days ago there was a discussion, how to force jobs runas administrator at netlogon. If you use a default.bat at netlogon this is executed as the logon user , therefor you are running in rights problems if you wanna execute job which need admin right like regedit /s . I found myself in this problem too, pushing the user to use the logon screensaver as default, i created a reg

I’ve got this define. define sudoentry ($user, $host = "ALL", $command = "ALL", $tag = false, $runas = "ALL") { $sudo_changes = $tag ? { false => [ "set spec[user = ''$user'']/user $user", "set spec[user = ''$user'']/host_group/host $host", "set spec[user =

Note: This is on Slackware 13 if it makes any difference. (Note: I am quite clued up about the CLI/text/server bits of linux but once it gets to Xorg or sound I'm quite clueless) Note: this is all without installing WoW within either wine or crossover , just running it straight from disk 1. I had installed the wine that comes in slackbuilds, 1.1.24 I tried a few programs and for example

run time erro '40018' Application-defined or object-defined error I've run regmon on my XP machine and ran the app, all reg keys appear to exist in the wine registry... any ideas? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dear all, I recently upgraded to Samba 2.0.3 and read the doc files about NT machines because I cannot connect to the Samba server. In the WinNT.txt file there is the following proposal: [ --- Start of pasted text --- ] The following registry entry change will re-enable clear text password handling: Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:

I finally got around to writing myself a NUT UPS monitoring tool. NUT's UPS monitoring CGI tools provide a detailed instantaneous view of the UPS's state at any moment, but provide no history. The attached tool, upswatch, uses Kiss Gabor's UPS::Nut module and Tobi Oetiker's rrdtool to provide a graphical history of the major UPS operating parameters via a web browser.
