For John Terpstra: Just got your new book from Amazon. All I can say is: VERY GOOD!!! Can easily recommend it for anyone, especially those of us who just want to make better use of Samba but aren't Linux gurus/code commandoes! I wouldn't begin to know how to contribute anything, but I'll certainly continue to buy and learn from such good material! Thanks, Marion D. Haines

Hi, I'm running Linux 2.2.2 w/ Samba 2.0.2, using the smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.2. I noticed that when I mount shares, smbmount sticks around, almost like a daemon: [root@jason /root]# smbmount //XXXX.gatech.edu/XXXX$ "XXXXXX" -U jkau -c "mount /mnt/cnd" < /dev/null > /tmp/smbmount.out [root@jason /root]# ps ax | grep smbmount 10678 ? S 0:00

I've set up a dfs share according to instructions. There is one part of the instructions that I don't understand. I've checked the forum archives but can't find any examples which might help. In the Instructions section (4.1 of the HTML Samba Project Documentation), is shows how to set up the symbolic links in a DFS share, as shown below. I have 2 Samba servers (SMB1 and SMB2).

Brevard County is about 70 miles long and 20 miles wide. We have many small sites around the County that will eventually have their current servers replaced with Linux/Samba servers. We've been successfully running a test Samba server since January and I'm convinced of it's stability and usefulness ... good work Samba Team and Linux in general. Other than for the test Samba server,

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with using the Dfs functionality within Samba. I've been searching for any performance information and or documentation regarding Dfs in particular load balancing i.e. 1) How does it load balance? Is it some sort of round robin? 2) Is there a limit to the number of servers that can used in the load balance? 3) How many requests per

Hello Everyone, I have a question about what I need to know to configure windows XP to work with a samba share? Are there any resources out now that explain how to configure samba and XP to work together?

We did some tests with msdfs on HP/UX with samba version 2.2.1.a and we found a strange problem. We create a msdfs root on a HP/UX system with samba version 2.2.1.a and create a link in it to an HP/UX system with samba version 2.0.7. We mapped the link in the msdfs root on a NT4 system to drive F. The share contains the source of samba and in explorer we went to :

Hello, I could like to get the a book which is suitable for me to learn Samba and its application on Microsoft OS like Win NT and WIn 2K .Kindly recommend me and where can I purchase one ? Thanks. Rgds, yipcl

Hello, Last week I submitted a problem with msdfs on samba. I didn't receive any reaction. I've also tried the samba-cvs version but this has also problems. We really like to use msdfs from samba, because we want to put all our homedirectories ( more than 4000 ) in one dfsroot. This is not possible with Microsoft's dfs because this has a limit of 1000 .... I didn't found this

Nevermind...need to read the whole msg... I didn't notice you were installing WINS on the NT box...hence the reboot. Standard practice for Winxx: 1. Install, reboot 2. Update, reboot, repeat.... I support about 25 pc's-it annoys the hell out of me how MS manages updates. How many Internet Explorer security updates have there been so far this year-22? Each one of them requires a

And route print? Do you have any servers on the WAN? (or is everyone connecting to the servers THROUGH the WAN?) Can you see the samba machines at all in network neghborhood? What happens when you type in the UNC of a samba server manually? (i.e. \\SAMBASERVERNAME) I hope I can help you, and I'm trying, but I'm not a samba guru. -Dan PS.

Hi, I''m just getting e set up on my machine, and I was wondering if someone could point me to the current rspec bundle for textmate? I googled and found a million of them, I think.

When I work with a .html.erb file, the autotest rspec on rails stuff doesn''t understand the file to map it to the right test. I wanted to submit a patch for this, but I''m unsure where the specs would be to update. I found the necessary mapping in rspec_autotest.rb, but I can''t find any specs anywhere. Help? I just need to have /app/views/coupon/index.html.erb to map to

Hi, all! I would love if someone could help me figure this out. I can''t seem to see why the following fails: Here''s the spec: it "should redirect back to the index page" do Coupon.should_receive (:new).with({"name"=>@expectedName,"amount"=>@expectedAmount}).and_return(@coupon) @coupon.should_receive(:save) response.should

So, I have a plugin that adds a method to ActiveRecord::Base, let''s call the method is_encrypted. class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base is_encrypted end So, my question is, how do I write a spec to show that is_encrypted is called here? I would rather not write specs that say that the behavior is there, since I have tested the behavior already in my plugin. Thanks. -Corey --

Okay, I got off my duff this week and have been finishing Mongrel support for IOWA. I now have two handlers that I need to test. One is similar to the Rails handler, passing request handling to IOWA threads in the same process, and the other allows one or more Mongrel processes to pass requests to one or more separate IOWA processes, with session affinity. Is there any set of standard sorts of

I''d like to add taggability to a model in the site I''m working on, and I wanted to get an idea of what people are using. I keep seeing that acts_as_taggable is deprecated, so I tried the acts_as_taggable_on_steroids. I also tried be_taggable. In any case, I figured I''d see what people use. thanks. -corey -- http://www.coreyhaines.com The Internet''s Premiere

All, I''m missing something simple, I think. I am writing a spec to say that my CouponController should create a new coupon from the form parameters, then set the current user. Here''s the spec: describe CouponController, "When posting to save_coupon" do before(:each) do @expectedName = "pepper''s" @expectedAmount = 5 coupon =

I''m working on a series going over the source code for rspec, and I ran into something interesting with ExampleGroup and SharedExampleGroup. I was wondering if anyone could shed light on it. [NOTE: I''m working through the code for my own edification in learning Ruby. Ruby has some features that I think are incredibly cool, so I''m using a concrete implementation (RSpec)

Hi, I''ve been investigating plain text stories, and I had a quick question. How would I go about creating story tests for views in isolation, instead of the full stack? I had hoped to be able to do a straight render ''/'', but it says it can''t find the method. The reason that I want to do this is that I want to give our designer/business people a way to write
