Im using Samba 2.2.7a on my RH7.3 box. The 3 users I have had on the system work flawlessly, but when I add a new user (userconf, adduser, smbpasswd -a) the system takes the user, it exists in both PSSWD files, but won't allow logging on from the Win9x box. I look in /var/log/messages and it doesn't tell me anything, nor do my etc/samba/log.smbd-nmbd files, is there a particular switch

I have a RH 7.2 PDC which uses DHCP for 2 machines on the network. My Win9x machine as a client/BDC just in case and uses a static IP. If the PDC goes down. I have to put in or take out the PDC's gateway IP and was wondering if there was a way to get ONLY the info I need from DHCP to the Win machine. To attempt to clarify, when the PDC is up, it will assign its gateway IP to the BDC (since it

Did I just read completely past this or is this an undocumented feature? Either way, thanks. BTW for my first attempt at a Linux firewall, this proved to be a challenge, but worth it. And most of the problems I''ve had are I/O (idiot operator) errors. Keep up the good work. Kev --- Message: 10 Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 06:20:00 -0800 From: Tom Eastep <teastep@shorewall.net> Subject:

Sometimes an install errors out looking for a file called libc.so.6. I did a locate and the file IS there, it just doesn't see it. I don't want to have to download a 16 meg RPM just for one small file. Does anyone know where JUST this file (most likely updated) can be found by itself? Kev

On my windows machine I use a software fire will called ZoneAlarm. One feature I like Is the ability to block applications from using the net. I''ve looked with Shorewall and wonder if it does, or was ever meant to. Not a complaint, a curiosity. Kev -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I was thinking of putting a slightly bigger HD on my Linux server and would like to know the easiest way. I know that ghost works well on FAT32 partitions, but does it work on Ext3 partitions too? Id rather not reinstall if I don't have to, so any and all suggestions are appreciated. TIA Kev

RSpec-ers: I''m aware this is quite the FAQ. I have probably asked it myself, but I just can''t Google up anything but others asking it. I grabbed the source to Beast, to use as a Rails project uninfluenced by me, or RSpec. Then I installed the CURRENT version of RSpec and rspec_on_rails, and set up a model spec on Post. Here''s the spec_helper.rb lines:

Hello, We still have problems with our updated dovecot servers... The problem now is that we are having errors like: Jul 9 10:22:02 myotis31 dovecot: lmtp(15431, <user>): Error: Timeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log file /var/indexes/<user>/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log Jul 9 10:22:02 myotis31 dovecot: lmtp(15431, <user>): Error: +4YfCwKS+k9HPAAAmo+UlA:

I recent upgraded to 2.2.8, which went fine. When I checked smbclient -L firewall, I saw I Lost my printer share. I am using CUPS v1.1.3 for printing. When I went back to 2.2.7a it reappeared. 2 questions: 1> Why did it do this? I ./configured it --enable-cups- --with-pam_(smb) 2> Is there and advantage of upgrading such a small step? Or are there a big enough issues to warrant this

I just downloaded and installed the above tar ball, all went fine, all runs, hits no errors (./configure, make, make install bin, make install_man). When it finished, it typed, service smb stop, service smb restart, then smbclient -L firewall, which still reported 2.2.7a. So I tried it another way, /etc/rc.d/init.d/smbd stop/start...Smbclient -L firewall yielded the same version number, ditto

G'day, doing a spot of reencoding on my 64k ogg files, trying to create a stream for those poor sods who are still on dial up. The syntax below works - gives me a 28k stream. Seems like the bitrate has little effect on the reencoding. Anyone know all the commands I can use - still no documentation for this ver2 of ices and icecast hey? <p> <encode>

Create a virtual FAT-formatted floppy disk from a directory of files. For example: nbdkit floppy /path/to/directory The implementation of this is quite different from nbdkit-iso-plugin since we cannot use an external program. Instead this plugin synthesizes the MBR partition and FAT32 structures that are required. To do: Implement bootable virtual floppy using syslinux. This is not

These plugins have in common that they store either a list of allocated strings or a list of constant strings. Define either string_vector or const_string_vector as appropriate and use it to store these lists. --- plugins/iso/Makefile.am | 1 + plugins/split/Makefile.am | 1 + plugins/floppy/virtual-floppy.h | 7 +++-- plugins/floppy/directory-lfn.c | 35 +++++++++-------------

Also, if password-based auth is not allowed, WTF would you want to log passwords? This whole idea is ugly, and smacks of a teenage-level prank attempt. I would strongly object against any such modification of the main source (though I'm sure the maintainers are sane enough to never let such a crap in). Of course the original poster is free to hack his own copy in whatever way he wants.?

Hello, I've got two problems in my very small home network. 2 xp (pro) machines and me, who is the printer server on ubuntu. I've read through the samba 3 by example and the earlier chapters of samba 3 howtos, but there are some things I still don't seem to be understanding. One of my big issues is that one of the xp computers is totally invisible to me. I can't call it using its

Not that I had anything to do with this, but I thought that it''s exciting that it finally happened, and that people on the list would like to know. -Kyle March 2, 2006: PDFlib GmbH releases maintenance update for PDFlib Product Suite free for all users with a valid 6.0.x license.

Andreas, As far as I can tell (/conjecture), this is because the list of classes a particular class inherits from directly is appended to as needed, and so the order that a class extends others isd refined by the order that those connections are defined. We can see this with two setClassUnion calls, rather than required setAs: > setClass("grandma", slots = c(a =
