For example (excuse my silly words, im trying to make a point) <%= link_to "Add a COOL Post", new_post_path, :howcoolisit => ''COOL'' %> <%= link_to "Add a NOTCOOL Post", new_post_path, :howcoolisit => ''NOTCOOL'' %> Then,

I have a quick question about rsync's writing of files. I have a team of people that all use the host BigServer, which is running rsync as a deamon, as a central place to keep all shared files backed up. The "master copy" for any given file is considered to be the local file that somebody has worked on -- i.e., BigServer is NOT considered the master copy. BigServer is the backup

I have been unable to get my Samba shares on RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.3a to be visible from my Windows 2000 SP1 server. From the DIAGNOSIS.txt tests (results below) I think that nmbd is not working properly, but it stops and starts fine, and a ps -A shows 1 X smbd and 2X(?)nmbd processes running, I have tried the suggestions there without luck and am not sure where to go next. I'd appreciate

A samba server is located on the main server, acting as a WINS server, to manage the list of connected computers. However, when a resident computer is badly configured (ie no wins server

We have some speed/performance issues: We have a 100M fullduplex private network setup to handle rsync transfers to our "mirror" server with a command like: time rsync -e ssh -avzl --delete --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync \ --exclude ".netscape/cache/" --delete-excluded \ bigserver:/staff1 /mirror/bigserver It takes about 20 minutes to check/transfer files from

The laptop runs windows 98 and they are connected by a netgear RP114 router. I have been following DIAGNOSIS.txt.

Hi, I've build rsync-3.0.6 on a number of legacy unix systems, and on a few systems the regression tests showed up with some errors: HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 (ia64): FAIL chown FAIL dir-sgid FAIL fuzzy FAIL itemize IRIX 6.5.13m: FAIL chown FAIL fuzzy FAIL itemize MacOS-X 10.4: FAIL chgrp the errors on "fuzzy" and "itemize" are

Hi, I have a Samba print share set up, with a "print command" specified that just cats the file to /dev/ulpt0. This share is accessed by the guest Samba account, which I have set to be the 'smbguest' username. I can manually run the print command as root, and the file prints. I can manually run the print command as 'smbguest' (through sudo) and the file prints.

I first asked this question at the end of October, got a response which didn't solve the problem, and have finally got back to the issue now. I'm running 2.2.7a, recently upgraded from 2.2.0 as Domain Logons for Win2K were suspected to be part of my problem. Anyway, the issue relates to AutoCAD (actually a vertical product called Land3) and a command which works with winXX boxes, but

The are coming from Windows 2K boxes

I'm just migrating a medium sambainstallation from old samba2.2.8 to new samba 3.0. The server is acting as PDC and there is no BDC. The new samba is based on LDAP and is already successfully tested. Now I need to transfer the whole old smbpasswd to the new ldap-style to convert users and machines with minimal effort. Especially I dont want to break the relations between the machines and

Hi, I've got a big problem since my new samba servers are in 3.0.23c version, no problems before.
