Why is it that when I use "/usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userad.pl -a Administrator -g dadm" that the group doesn't get changed to dadm? Instead it stays set to the value specified in $_defaultUserGid. Also, I must say that I find the default of *not* adding a group for the user very counter-intuitive. What exactly is the difference between gidNumber and primaryGroupID in a

2.2.7a It seems that samba-ldap is still to immature for any kind of production environment. The provided Perl scripts simply do not work with the 'add user script' setting or if they do, then there is an an undocumented bug, issue, etc. The scripts work fine from the command line but aparently samba won't execute them properly. Since I cannot expect my users to understand

On a Debian 3.0 system with user accounts stored in openldap, I have unix and windows auth working just fine through ldap. smbpasswd can change the samba passwd attributes, and passwd can change the unix password attributes. I'm trying to get pam_smbpass to work to keep everything in sync, but it only says "Failed to find entry for user test0." which indicates to me that its

Hello! What can I do to tell samba to do not show the printers. I've configured printing = no and removed the [printers]-Section, but I still see the printers section when browsing the server.

currently, in order to join a win XP machine to a samba PDC, you have to use the root account (although you can use an smbpasswd and not the linux password). is there any way to set up another account to do this one particular task (one without uid=0)?. if we have users in remote places, i do not want to have to go over to their work station just to log them on the the domain. alsoi don't

Hi!

I have installed openldap and the samba.idealx.org ldap configuration and scripts, and now I have ldap authentication working wonderfully well. I'd like to be able to use the same ldap user database for other info such as phone numbers, email, etc, but I don't know how to add it or whether it is a good idea. Anyone done this?

Hi! I've a problem, I'm using samba 2.2.5-1 (debian unstable source), which I compiled as the idealx howto explains, and all seems to work fine. Adding Computer Accounts with "smbldap-useradd.pl -w <name>" works fine, but when i specify add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w % in the smb.conf, it works fine for the first computer I add automatically.

Dear All, I need some witty computer related proverbs or one liners that some of have used in the past as footers for your emails for example. I particularly remember a PERL based transliteration joke/footer that when run in PERL produces a witty output.... This is to fix a problem internally created by an over zealous salesman at my company pinning up A4 sheets with bullSh*t sales proverbs

Hi, I can't figure out what syntax to use with the Dial() "M" parameter for the AEL parser to interpret properly. Creating an AEL macro named "macro-screen()" partly works as a hack, but it must not turn into a gosub properly, so I get warnings about the "return;". Dial(...,tgM(&screen)) with the ael macro named "screen" does not work

Hi, I swear I have read almost all the posted messages about this issue, but it's evident I couldn't find an answer (surely esay) to my problem. What I want is the following: Make 8 days aggregates from a daily series like this (dput output): structure(c(6.91777181625366, 0.79051125049591, 9.00625133514404, 9.86966037750244, 14.4326181411743, 3.70155477523804, 9.67768573760986,

Hi, I'd like to add, say, the sample size for every group in a bwplot as a parenthetical annotation to the axis. Here's a sketch: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- require(Hmisc) age <- sample(1:100, 1000, replace = TRUE) sex <- gl(2, 8, 1000, c("Male", "Female")) grp <- gl(4, 6, 1000, letters[1:4]) bwplot(grp ~ age |

Dear Rusers, I have some data in .csv file like "2004-8-1" and "2004-10-1", and i need to convert them into days from the origin (January 1, 1960). I have tried the function date.mmddyyyy(), but cannot get it. Anybody can show me how to handle the date data? Thanks very much! My dataset like: time 2004-8-1 2004-10-1 2001-9-1 2002-9-1 -- With Kind Regards,

Dear R users, I hope to explain the concepts of skewness and kurtosis by generating series of distributions with same skewness and different kurtosis or with same kurtosis and different skewness, but it seems that i cannot find the right functions. I have searched the mailing list, but no answers were found. Is it possible to do that in R? Which function could be used? Thanks a lot. --

Dear all, I have two variables, y and x. It seems that the relationship between them is Piecewise Linear Functions. The cutpoint is 20. That is, when x<20, there is a linear relationship between y and x; while x>=20, there is another different linear relationship between them. How can i specify their relationships in R correctly? # glm(y~I(x<20)+I(x>=20),family = binomial, data =

Dear friends, Anybody has ever met the problem to add a legend to a figure generated by image()? I have three variables,x,y and z. x and y are the coordinates, and z is the third values. we can use image(x, y, z,...) to generate a figure according to the z-values, but the problem is the figure legend. How can the legend be added to a figure generated by image()? Note that filled.contour() can
