Hi, On the weekend I tried to upgrade from RC7 to RC10. Clearly, I have to change some things before I can do this. What does it take to get to RC10? As is, my mail client got an error trying to list messages in /INBOX (via IMAP) and the mail.err log shows the following messages: Oct 29 10:27:32 siona dovecot: IMAP(archangel): open(/var/mail/archangel/inbox, O_CREAT) failed: Not a

(Arjen - I apologize if you get two copies, I sent the first one to the old de-korte.org address) Arjen, all, I've run into a usbhid-ups problem with nut on Arch Linux with the new 2.6.35 kernels. (latest is 2.6.35.4-1) For some reason when you get to the udev events on boot and it tries to load the usbhid-ups driver, it hangs until the 120 sec timeout occurs and then boot continues but

Arjen, all, Just dropping a note on two points. First, Voltages are perfect in 2.4.1 for the Cyberpower ups's. Glad to see I'm not pushing 20+ any more: http://www.3111skyline.com/nut/ Second, even though the changes to where the monitor lines go in the configs and changes from ACCEPT, etc.. to LISTEN are fairly old now, the documentation for setting up monitoring for multiple UPSs

Hi all, Can you use Samba to store an XP Pro profile? I'm running Samba 3.0.2a (compiled from source) on Solaris 9. Compiled it against OpenLDAP 2.1.30 and MIT Kerberos 1.3.3 (both compiled from source from fresh downloads today). Am now trying to get Windows XP Pro to store profiles on to this box.

We have a network of about 24 remote site all connecting to our home office across a mixture of private frame relay and VPN across the internet. In order to simplify our life, and at the same time, reduce the amount of non critical and chatty traffic transversing the WAN links during business hours, we are putting servers at each remote to do DHCP, DNS, WINS, and file and print sharing. From the

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

Hi all, I'm trying to get a Samba server (which is a member of a Samba controlled domain) to store WinXP Pro user's profiles. The XP user is authenticating against a 2003 Active Directory server, which then tells it to store it's profile on my Samba server. The 'profiles' share exists and is writeable and under some circumstances we can get profiles to be stored there,

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped.

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour.
