Hi! My boss asked me to be able to share some directories on a FreeBSD Samba server with users already created (and used) on a NT 4.0 PDC server. So I followed http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=10 I just replaced the Windows 2k part by adding the NetBIOS name of the machine to the NT PDC. When I did the smbpasswd trick it worked like charm: testsmb# smbpasswd -j CH-DOMAIN -r PDC

My RedHat 8.0 workstation doesn't want to play nice with Winbind. The rest of our Samba servers (on RedHat 7.3) are working fine, and I am familiar with setting up Winbind. Samba: 2.2.7a (RPM from Samba.org. RedHat's RPMs do same thing.) Kernel 2.4.20 NT 4 domain I'd copied the pam and smb.conf from a working box in testing. Getent passwd and group works, BUT getent group

I'm sorry I gave the appearance I was slamming you. The tone was supposed to be "Please, help yourself first, here's why... here's ALL of the resources I use to help myself." I've successfully been able to keep questions about Samba to this list down to a minimum by first consulting all of my sources and perhaps you can, too. As I read it again, it had the appearance

Does anybody know more about groups? I am considering switching from NT to Samba domain and have made some test. Unfortunately I need to make two additional groups, except Domain Admin (one of them is Domain Users). Is it possible to make that with the stable version of Samba? And another, but not so important (for now) question. Currently I have a Samba server, providing files and printers

In one of your replies to the attention newbies... series, you mentioned you teach a linux newbie class. I'm interested (seriously, or sarcasm) in checking out one of your seminars.

Hello, I'm installing 2.2.7a, or attempting to at any rate. I've compiled it from source using the following instructions: http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html Anyways, I've got it set up so that it works. Now I'm trying to get to a point where I can interface it like I have with a different Linux box that is working without any problems. When I did the

I have a Samba PDC installed to authorize my windows network clients. And it is running on Solaris. I want to install a one another Samba file server and I want it to authorize windows clients by consulting the PDC. This second server must also paricipate in the domain the PDC is responsible for. How can I do this? Thanks, Cyril.

I'm trying to set up a Samba server with ACLS. Versions: - xfs in kernel-2.4.20. - samba-2.2.7a compiled with ACL support I'm trying first with smbcacls. But I can't manage to guess the syntax of the ACL command. I want the user "frankie" could RWX a file owned by "javi" #smbcacls //localhost/public te1st.txt -A ACL:frankie:0/0/RWX -U javi Failed to parse ACL

I have been playing with samba for a short time. I am not a programmer but a I have some questions on if acls within samba are possible, regardless of acl's in the file system or kernel. In samba now, you can have read list or write list and say this user and/or group has write and/or this user and/or group has read only. This is a scaled down version of an acl. What if they created a

Dear R contributors, I'm running into trouble when trying to allocate some large (but in theory viable) vector in the context of C code bound to R through .Call(). Here is some sample code summarizing the problem: SEXP test() { int size = 10000000; double largevec[size]; memset(largevec, 0, size*sizeof(double)); return(R_NilValue); } If size if small enough (up to 10^6), everything is

Dear R contributors, Say I want to debug some C code invoked through .Call() - say "varbayes" in the VBmix package. following the instructions in "Writing R Extensions", I perform the following actions : R -d gdb run library(VBmix) CTRL+C break varbayes signal 0 mod <- varbayes(as.matrix(iris)[,1:4], 2) The breakpoint is indeed activated, seemingly at the correct position

Hello everyone, Considering the following code sample : ---- indexes <- function(vec) { vec <- which(vec==TRUE) return(vec) } mat <- matrix(FALSE, nrow=10, ncol=10) mat[1,3] <- mat[3,1] <- TRUE ---- Issuing apply(mat, 1, indexes) returns a 10-cell list, as expected. Now if I do: ---- mat[1,3] <- mat[3,1] <- FALSE apply(mat, 1, indexes) ---- I would expect a

Dear R contributors, Considering the following sample C code, that illustrates two possible uses of a Cholesky decomp for inverting a matrix, equally valid at least in theory: SEXP test() { int d = 2; int info = 0; double mat[4] = {2.5, 0.4, 0.4, 1.7}; double id[4] = {1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0}; double lmat[3]; F77_CALL(dpotrf)("L", &d, mat, &d, &info); lmat[0] = mat[0]; lmat[1]

In S-Plus, I can obtain polynomial contrasts for an ordered factor with contr.poly(). The function also exists in R, however is limited to factors where the levels are equally spaced. In S-Plus, one can obtain the contrasts for a set of numeric values representing unequally spaced ordered factors. Has anyone implemented this in R? I see that the S-Plus function calls another function (poly.raw())

I couldn't help but take notice at some of the responses that were coming in from when I was posting questions due to my ignorance of Linux. Some people were quick to help, some advanced users I am sure ignored me because im not worth their time, and then some other users tried to help but was unable to dumb their speech down to newb levels. However I am thankful that there is people here to

Hi everyone, I am using eigen() to extract the 2 major eigenpairs from a large real square symmetric matrix. The procedure is already rather efficient, but becomes somehow slow for real time needs with moderately large matrices (few thousand lines). The R implementation statically extracts all eigenvalues (and optionally associated eigenvectors). I heard about optimizations of the eigen

I have a stupid problem that is currently driving me crazy... Let us suppose that I want to draw a big red square in the middle of my current device (say X11) I tried the following code : pushViewport(viewport(xscale=c(0,1), yscale=c(0,1)), just=c("center", "center")) vp1 <- viewport(x=unit(0.5, "native"), y=unit(0.5, "native"), width=unit(0.4,

Hi everyone, >From the currently available version of the package VBmix, I would like to retrieve the intermediate .tex file that generates the VBmix-manual.pdf file. Formerly, running R CMD check with --no-clean allowed to get this tex source from a hidden directory : this feature was removed, but can apparently still be accessed through R CMD Rd2pdf --no-clean. Surprisingly, while the

Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction and/or help me solve my problem. We have a number of Linux servers (RH6.2 -> RH8) which connect to the same share on a Win2000 Server. We've been working kinda hard to get everything upgraded to either RH7.3 or RH8.0 since we rarely get the opportunity. 2 similar servers (one dev, one prod) access this same window
