Okay; I'm stumped. My old boss just asked me a question, and I thought I had an easy answer, but nooooooooo. I also apologize if this has been hashed out, but I'm unable to find the answers after several pages of Google hits. Anyway, if I try to do this: mount -t smbfs -o username=kend,password=blah,workgroup=xanoptix //freedom/kend /mnt/smb/ from the command line, it works fine.

hello, I try to use samba as PDC on NetBSD, but I 've had problem with that combination.. samba work perfectly..but if someone want to write into homedir, they couldn't, and w2k workstation appear message , that disk is full.. disk isn't full, and permission are set correct I don't know, where should be a mistake, I check configuration problably 100x, but I haven't found any

Hi, all. I'm trying to create a PDF queue... or, rather, I already have a homebrew solution I hacked together with an lprng filter, and it doesn't work too well. The solution at www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html, which uses the smb.conf and "print command" paramaters, appears to be much more elegant, but has one major shortfall: I don't see any way to get the

[Please excuse if this is a repeat; I initially tried to send it from a different account, and it's been held up for a couple of days awaiting moderation.] 1) What's the absolute minimum required (hardware-wise) in order to get one in-bound POTS line into Asterisk, and then have IP phones "inside?" [In other words, I obviously need a NIC -- but what would be the

Hey, all. I'm running Debian stable, and when I try to ./configure --with-pam for either 2.2.7a or 2.2.8a, I wind up with [...] checking whether struct passwd has pw_age...

I've got a Samba box (2.2.5a) as a member of a Samba domain. Both the PDC and client are running 2.4.18 with XFS and ACLs compiled in. Problem: on the client, I can -NOT- modify the ACLs for files from Windows. (Note that I can modify the stock Unix permissions, but not the extended users/permissions that ACL support offers.) If I try, they just vanish when I click "OK".

Hey, all. Somehow, a couple of lines with machine entries got deleted out of my smbpasswd file. Is there any way to "re-constitute" these entries, or do I have to remove and restore the machines from/to the domain? I'd vastly prefer to just pull the relevant info from the clients, if there's any way to do so... Thanks, Ken D'Ambrosio Sr. SysAdmin, Xanoptix, Inc.

Hi, all. I've got my Uniden UIP200 configured via TFTP (had to get DHCP 3.0.1 -- Debian's latest is 2.0.x!), and all seems well... except for the minor detail that it doesn't work. It registers fine with Asterisk, but when I copied my Grandstream's sip.conf info and plugged in the Uniden stuff, no dice. Any ideas? Thanks... -Ken unidencom.txt: OverwriteLocalSettings

Hiya! How do I, from a source install, make the manpages install? I've got 2.2.5, and have hand-compiled for ages, but have no idea how to, as part of the build process, install the manpages. Thanks, Ken D'Ambrosio Sr. SysAdmin, Xanoptix, Inc.

I've been having some trouble getting ACLs to work under my Samba 2.2.4 client (talking to my 2.2.4 "PDC"). Finally, I checked the log and realized that it wasn't able to map SIDs to UID/GIDs. Further checking, and I realized that the client never made the request to the server. Here's some output from smbpasswd: smbpasswd -D 4 fred Initialising global parameters

I've a little problem starting winbindd. using It on a redhat 9 linux, compiled from source. I've configured nsswitch.conf with winbind and kerberos. Naturally joined my ADS realm with the following command: net ads join -U administrator successfully. now the problem is that smbd and nmbd work correclty but I can't start winbindd due the following error and I can't manage why,

I need to set up a samba server (I think samba 3.0.2 will be the one) as PDC for my school. It needs to serve mandatory profiles, home dirs, shares, printers. As OS I think redhat will do just fine (or isn't that a good idea?). Authentication would use openLDAP (if I get it online with the hints of realx). Questions: 1. What hardware will do a fine job to do this? 2. Can a webserver run

Dear all, i want to send windows popup message from a redhat 9.0 box in the same subnet. the receivers are on group of 'ECON'. does this redhat machine have to be the samba server to send win msg ? error i got is "Connection to econ02 failed" econ02 is a XP pro machine and a popup service is running. #nmblookup econ02 can resolve the correct ip. querying econ02 on

Hi, I''m getting some trouble in connecting to a sql server 2000 database with ActiveRecord-2.0.1 and ruby 186-26, from win XP. Using the next conenction config: ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection( :adapter => "sqlserver", :database => "nombre_bd", :username => "usu", :password => "contra" ) I have the next error:

Hello. I'm trying to automate some error reporting on tests run on our labs, and I'd love to pop up messages on the users' screens when that happens. However, some of the computers in question don't have a corresponding <03> section in the PDC's wins.dat file. (Oh: Samba 2.2.8a, under Debian.) Any ideas as to why it wouldn't be there? The clients are all W2K

I am trying to connect to a remote sql server and I am getting the following error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/DBD/ADO/ADO.rb:57:in `connect'': Open (DBI::Databa seError) OLE error code:80004005 in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

The SQL Server adapter can currently operate in two modes, ADO and ODBC, each of which uses a different interface to access the db. The ADO interface is currently the default, while ODBC can be specified as an option. I propose this situation is reversed, and that use of the ADO interface is deprecated, if not removed altogether. Here are some reasons, I'm sure there are more: a) ADO uses

Hi all, When i use the ''delete_all'' function to remove a few rows from my database, it causes a deadlock on the sql server. The delete seems to be successful, it then redirects to the ''view'' page, and the record does appear to be deleted as far as the ''view'' rails page shows. BUT if i go into sql query analyser, i can''t do a

Hello Rubyists, I''m in the position of being given the job to design and build a mission-critical web facing application for a small but growing enterprise. It is to be used by customers as needed, numbering in the tens up to the hundreds. It will collect operational data, particularly in a table around 50 columns wide, and potentially millions of rows deep, most fields being numerical.

is to run my Rails app on lighttpd .... Unfortunately, I am tied to SQL Server, and the database connector requires ADO.rb which only runs on Win32. And lighttpd doesnt run on Win32. *sigh* _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
