Hi, I had no responses to my previous message about setting up a samba linux fileserver using account info from another linux box, so I've tried to figure out a solution. I need to have two separate servers, one holding the UNIX accounts for the users and also acting as a PDC, and a second one acting as a mere file server with a backup unit (perhaps a DVD-RW). All I want to do is that the

I have got an old pentium back. It is an Intel 66Mhz processor, 16MB RAM and a 2 gigabyte harddrive. Could it be used as a dedicated samba server and what Linux disto would work well? I was thinking of Debian 3 or Slackware. Can samba act as a 2000 PDC?

I have Solaris machines that I'd like to use to gain access to SMB shared drives. I can get a Linux box to mount SMB shares via samba. I can get a Solaris box to access files on a Linux box using NFS. Can I get the Solaris box to access files on the Linux box, which actually are mounted to SMB shares using samba (smbmount) on the Linux box? Is there any documents for this? Thanks -SR

Hello! I trying to setup Domain Controller with Samba, but I have some trouble. As I understood, I ought to create "Trust Account" for every mashine, and if mashine name is "vasya" then account should be "vasya$" but FreeBSD is not allowed to create accounts with "$" characters, what should I do ? Thanks! /* spectre */

Hi there, I have a somewhat wide experience with samba. I've succesfully installed it as a client as well as a PDC on Windows networks. The last time, however, there has been an issue with the win9x stations. I've setup the Samba server over Linux to act as a PDC for the domain. I use dhcp to assign the network configuration to the hosts, and the only protocol installed on them is

Hi all, I have succesfully joined together three LANs using OpenVPN over Linux (Debian) gateways at the 'exit' of each one of these LANs. The VPN seems to be OK, as I can ping network hosts from one LAN to another using their private IP addresses with no problem at all. However network browsing through the VPN is not working. The network diagram for my setup is at

Hey there, I'm planning on setting up a mixed windows network (there are 98, 2000 and XP clients on it). I want to use two Linux servers for the network, one will act as the mail server (which will hold the users accounts) and another one will be the fileserver for massive storage and backup. The mail server will be the internet gateway/router of the network, and I want it to hold the real

Hi all, I've run across this problem before but this time it's a rather complicated setup. a. We have a long list of local users, all of them resident at the system level /etc/passwd, and on three different primary groups (each of these groups corresponds to what needs to be a different Windows Domain) b. Some of these users will actually belong to more than one Domain,

I've set voicemail almost successfully, only a minor detail remains :-) I can't get the dates in my local language (spanish). In sip.conf, zapata.conf and voicemail.conf, I've set: language=es and my locale is "es" also. However, the days and months names still appear in english in the emails!!!

Good afternoon Support Team, I have discovered a disturbing error inside?anaconda-ks.cfg under the /root directory. Examination found the config file devoid of the string "buns". It's distressing, because I don't understand how my Anaconda can get anything done if it doesn't happen to have any buns. Please advise I need to know how to continue. Please feel free to contact me

At speex.org, I read that Speex is well-suited to internet audio streaming and audio books. However, I am having difficulty finding or creating audio-book-type material of acceptable audio quality vs file size. For the sake of comparison, look at the speex sample in Ubuntu's example-content_26_all.deb vs http://podcast.msnbc.com/audio/podcast/pd_mtp.mp3 The mp3 sounds ok, streams and seeks

Hi all, I am noticing some strange behaviour so I am bringing to this list. In the past when I have submitted bugs to bugzilla, I have come here first for confirmation/advice. Hopefully this is appropriate. Upgrading from R 3.5.2 to R 3.5.3 seems to have elicited some strange behaviour on my Windows machine. R seems to have trouble spawning a new process on my machine. You can noticing with all

tl;dr version: 3.0 produces “bio too big” dmesg entries and silently corrupts data in “meta-raid1/data-single” configurations on disks with different max_hw_sectors, where 2.6.38 worked fine. tl;dr side-issue: on-line removal of partitions holding “single” data attempts to create raid0 (rather than single) block groups. If it can''t get enough room for raid0 over all remaining disks, it

For quite a while, I''ve experienced oddities with snapshotted Firefox _CACHE_00?_ files, whose checksums (and contents) would change after the btrfs snapshot was taken, and would even change depending on how the file was brought to memory (e.g., rsyncing it to backup storage vs checking its md5sum before or after the rsync). This only affected these cache files, so I didn''t give

Hello, I''m using kernel 3.1.0 and I have both / and /home as btrfs. I used suspend to ram quite often and never had a problem, but yesterday I''ve suspended to get into a plane and when I resumed my /home was all about input/output errors. Reboot did not help either. My root (/) did not suffer any problems. Today I''ve upgraded btrfs-progs to latest GIT and tried scrub

Has anyone noticed that there appears to be a few problems with regards to Samba and in particular the usage of smbclient, which can do one of the following : 1) Complete & udder death of the NT networking subsystem (which requires a reboot to cure) 2) smbclient appears to lose its connection with the host being contacted and eventually needs to be killed. I'm not too sure how

Hi Folks, I want to use samba and amanda to backup NT/win file system. I downloaded the latest version of Samba and trying to install on bsdi4.0 and it complains that the OS is a "trapdoor" OS and will not work propperly. I installed it anyway and I can connect to NT no problem but when I connect it back to the unix box, it complains about "Bad password - name/password in a Tree
