similar to: Controlling access to shares: Using Samba 2.2.8 and LDAP

Morning everyone. Have a quick question on what would be the best way to set up sharing for my instance. Our samba server is going to be hosting applications that are used by our clients everyday. On our Samba server, I have setup the directories like this: (I should mention, one of our applications will have multiple folders to hold the corresponding data) /home/point /home/point/pntdata

Morning everyone. I have a question about something i've been thinking about lately. I recently rolled out a samba server running 2.2.8a with OpenLDAP 2.0.27 on the backend to hold the user account info. My question is, how many people out there are running samba as their PDC and have implemented a BDC as well? I'm starting to consider about putting up a BDC for safeties sake. Does

I have several directories within a share. I have different groups within linux that have access to these directories. I currently have my force group = everyone in smb.conf (the everyone group is just that a group of all valid users). Is there any way to set a force group for different directories within a share? If I set those directories up as shares, (even if I get to them via the other

Dear R People, in the R FAQ (in the R Programming section) it says ********************************************************************** How can I change compilation flags? =================================== Suppose you have C code file for dynloading into R, but you want to use `R CMD SHLIB' with compilation flags other than the default ones (which were determined when R was built).

Hello everyone. Well, I have been working very hard lately, trying to get a server up to act as our Samba PDC with LDAP. So far, everything seems to be working well. I've been able to get samba 2.2.8 and openldap 2.0.27 installed with no problems. I've setup my config files (ldap.conf, slapd.conf, smb.conf) as well as added some initial entries to the LDAP directory. I've been

Hello, everybody: I'm experimenting more with Sweave, R, and LyX. There's now an entry in the LyX wiki on using R, so anybody can do it! http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxWithRThroughSweave Now I notice this frustrating thing. I think I've done everything possible to make the Design library start up without any fanfare: <<echo=F,quiet=T,print=F>>= library(Design, verbose=F)

Hello everyone. Have a question here about controlling permissions and groups for Samba. Our samba server is being used by our users to access files through a program. In our initial testing, what I noticed is that once a user starts to work with the file, and their are any modifications done to it, it changes the owner to the user and the group to the group that the user belongs to. For

Windows 7 can connect to the domain as a member (using wiki.samba Win 7 details) but cannot see any shared resources or connect to the machine at all. Logs show tings start ok but fall apart pretty quickly. Anyone else having issues with Win7 and Samba? On this network, XP, Vista and Mac all swell :) Any pointers?

Sorry if this off-topic but I have a qemu related question I was going to send to the qemu users mailing list but that list appears to have vanished. I thought this community might have some insight. I am interested in controlling VM access to different tap devices so I want to have different qemu processes bound to different tun devices. I've created new tun devices (eg. /dev/net/tun_low)

I know i've asked this before, but I was unable to get a clear response on how this works exactly. As I said before: The Administrator account on Windows machine is there by default. My question is, can I add a Administrator account to samba and make sure they are part of the Domain Admins group to ensure that I can still use the administrator account to do certain functions on my clients

Hello everyone. Well, i've tried to figure this out on my own by asking questions and reading the how-to provided by John. I've followed the directions accordingly, but there are a few catches i've noticed that seem to be throwing me a curve or to. Let me recap. Basically, i've setup our samba PDC with LDAP. I originally was going to use roaming profiles, but decided against

Hi, I'll upgrade my samba server from 2.2.X to 3.0 as soon as it is declared stable but I need one advice to the following setup : main server (where the account password is created) ---> disk server (where the physical disk of the user's shares should be located). THe ideia is that the main server controls the login, password, has some local shares BUT also control and maps the

question re authlogic, all set up but now i''d ike to control access to a resource so only users who own that resource can control it, I figure I put this in the Advert controller - is this approach sound ? http://pastie.org/1069488 I also specify that an admin (just a boolean controlled user) can edit everything... is it good ? User, has many Adverts and Advert belongs to a User Just

Sorry for the limited detail here. To make matters worse, I don't have access to the machines in question any more. But perhaps someone would be able to give me some pointers to useful avenues to pursue. I'm trying to use Wine on FreeBSD (versions 4.2 and 4.4), to act as a Lightwave 5.6 render node, using Lightwave's ScreamerNet software. The software is for NT 4.0. This software

Hi, Is there a way to control access to the filebucket? Specifically, I wish to allow agents to backup to the filebucket but never restore. Is this possible to do?

Just be sure to go for switches that allow you to deny incoming already tagged packets on the user side as some switches passes already tagged packets. For a wireless environment i would suggest PPPoE

Hello, Is it normal that "Computer Management" cannot configure shared directories of a Samba4 AD-DC? Is this only possible on member servers? It can connect to the DC, but when I click on shares it tells that either the server does not support "virtual disk service" (translated from German), or a firewall blocks the connection. There is no firewall between these machines
