Hi, I have a smbpasswd file from a Samba-2.0.x, generated with pwdump2 [1] . I'm in a NT-PDC to Samba-PDC migration. The documentation says that it generates Samba-2.0 style smbpasswd file [2]. But I would like to use the smbpasswd on a Samba-2.2.x machine. I've read that smbpasswd format changed . Is there a tool to convert smbpasswd from 2.0 to 2.2 ? I cannot find one. Any URL or

Hi I've been trying to finally switch off our NT4 PDC over the last few months and transfer PDC duties to our Samba file server. Although I have no difficulty in getting the Samba box to authenticate users as the PDC, I have never been able to migrate the user's settings over. As far as the clients (NT4 and W2K) are concerned, users effectively start with a "clean slate" i.e.

Hello, I'm finding migration Windows 2003 AD to Samba + LDAP solution. I seen there can use pwdump2 to dump all accounts information in Windows 2003. I tried it but only can dump local account not AD accounts, cound anyone share some experience to me ?

Hi We've noticed that we get zero length files left behind on Samba shares after printing to a Samba printer, of the form NExx: (appears as NExx~yy) from Windows due to name mangling. This only occurs in specific circumstances: Client running NT4 (SP6a) and Printing file on a Samba share and Printing to a Samba printer and Running particular applications (e.g. Word and Acrobat, but not

I am so stoked I just had to share this with y'all. I just "SEAMLESSLY" migrated all of my machines and users over to my new Gentoo Linux Server. I even kept the same: domain name and old PDC NetBios name. The trickiest part was getting all of the users to keep their same profile, but I managed that by cloning the RID and Lanman/NT hashes for the user accounts. Free at last! #

Hi, I want to switch from our Windows NT server ( which works as our PDC ) to Linux - Samba. Could you advice a step-by-step guide about this process, or is that possible, at all? Can I use Samba as a BDC, convert the user DB and than promote it to PDC? Thanks in advance! Regards; Istvan

This weekend, we're replacing a customer's Windows 2003 server with a Samba box. They lost their Windows media and we can't reset the administrator password, so we can't even login to the server to examine it. The best we can do is to boot Knoppix and copy the filesystem onto an external USB drive, to recover their files. We're not sure how we will recover their Exchange mail

recently, netect / bindview posted a review of the syskey system and how the RC4 cypher stream was reset each time. standard RC4 attack analysis shows that XORing two obfuscated passwords together results in the XOR cypher stream dropping out, and you have the two XORed password. further attack analysis can decrypt the passwords. i am looking to implement an equivalent mechanism to SYSKEY,

Hi ! I hate to do this but I'm close to get crazy about printing with samba. I have a samba server ver 2.2.5 running as a domain controler. The domain logon works fine, I've created the computer account by hand for testing and it is great. The problem is with printing. I've created the [print$] share all the directories in this share like W32ALPHA, W32MIPS, W32PPS, W32X86,

using file_column plugin, if I upload IMG0001.JPG, I get files similarly named IMG0001-thumb.JPG, etc. but if I upload img00002.jpg, I get files img00002-thumb.jpg, etc. This is tacky in terms of my counting on a consistency when implementing views. My inclination is to start hacking away at this section of file_column.rb: class PermanentUploadedFile < RealUploadedFile # :nodoc: def

So, I'm noticing that when Asterisk executes an AGI script, that the AGI script keeps running until the call is complete. Is there any way to have the script terminate when the call is answered? Also noticed that when user makes a call to user B, if user B hangs up the call, then Asterisk returns a result code. If user A hangs up the call, a result code is not returned. Why? Doug

CentOs 5.1 updated with Gnome as desktop. I notice that after a reboot some applications reappear mysteriously. It seems that the last application that was closed *before* reboot reappears. For instance I had gedit appearing for some time, opened with a blank "unknown document". Now I'm getting the hardware manager/soundcard section opened on the desktop each time I reboot

I found one reference to this in the archives via google, but the assistance offered there did not resolve the problem.

Hi: I started using R and am an avid fan of the product and also the concept. I am considering switching jobs but do wish to continute with R while the industry standard seems to be SAS. Is there any web site which posts jobs at places which use R for their work. avneet -- An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. ~Mahatma Gandhi http://truthloveandcompassion.blogspot.com/

Hi, I have several SIP registrations on my Asterisk box. Sometimes, I try to call in the inbound number from 1 and find it doesn't work. When I do sip show registry, it's showing Unregistered (and sometimes there are several which are showing Unregistered). If I type reload, it registers and works fine straight away. Is there something I can set to keep registrations connected all the

Let''s say I have a "main" controller/view and a "sub" controller/view. If I have defined a partial in "main" for the site header (_site_header.rhtml) can I share it with "sub" or does "sub" have to duplicate it, use a symbolic link to the file, or convert the cool partial into an ugly helper? It would be nice to have a shared placed

Function/file names are hypothetical. Say I have written myfunction.R, which calls myfunction.c via .C("myfunction", ...). I've compiled successfully myfunction.c via R CMD SHLIB myfunction.c in the terminal. Then, in the R console: dyn.load("myfunction.so") source("myfunction.R") test <- myfunction() # works fine So everything is in order, myfunction works

Hi there, I''m just implementing backgroundrb to see if I can offload some "processor intensive" areas of my rails app (generating PDFs with lots of imagery in them, using rFPDF and rMagick as well). So far I''ve been able to figure it out fairly quickly....it''s a pretty cool tool! Some questions though: First: I''m running the basic cron-job
