Hello all, I have ran into the following problem running samba 2.2.2 on a SUN running Solaris 7. Sun has a limitation on the length of a line for a group entry in the /etc/group file of 512 characters. Sun also has no plans to fix this problem. It turns out that Compaq Tru64 has the same problem. Sun and Compaq's solution is to create multiple entries in the group file when a group line

I've just downloaded and installed the SAMBA binaries for HPUX 10.20. I'm been unsuccessful in getting swat to run though. I've made the correct entries in the /etc/services file (swat 901/tcp) and in the /etc/inetd.conf file (swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /opt/samba/bin/swat swat) and have shutdown and restarted the inetd daemon.

Hello, I am running a small network, Win., FreeBSD (Unix), & Macs., administering through SWAT. Needing to run an intranet I installed an Apache 1.3 HTTP server running in standalone mode. Now I have lost the ability to access SWAT through the http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:901 port. Guess it requires some special configuration of the server - SWAT runs in inetd mode, will this cause a conflict?

No matter what I try, I cannot get SWAT to work. No, I'm new to solaris, so maybe I'm not doing something that should be done prior to trying to use SWAT. Samba does seem to be working, somewhat.

I upgraded this morning to 2.2.5 on both my Linux boxes (Red Hat 7.3) and now SWAT doesn't work. I have it setup to start on a reboot and I've tried force turning it off and then turning it back on.

One thing I have noticed when encoding VCDs is that often videos with complex backgrounds don't compress nearly as well as those with simple ones.

The result is that a good number of bits are wasted trying to perfectly
