Hi, I have very strange problem: I had created logon script (bat file dynamically generated by root peexec) and tested it successfully on Win98 workstation. Now I'm testing it on XP wkst., but the same (created by the same method) script is during logon not executed. What is absolutely mysterious for me ? The script is really read by workstation durin logon - I saw it in network traffic

Hi, I need to make a decision whether or not to install ntp server on my network in order to give time source to WinXP workstations. I found this parameter but I don't know how to employ it. I have got some unsure information about new functionality (other then ntp and 'net time' service) on WinXP (DC) server for setting clock on its workstations. Is it true ? And is "time server

Hi, does anybody know usage of parameter "time server = yes" ? Exactly, how can I utilize this function on my Windows clients ? Thanks M. Vancl

I keep getting the following errors when I try to log on to my domain or access a share (some how I have no clue I was able to get one computer to access the samba domain). It is a standalone PDC, ldap on the same computer. This problem has been killing me for about a week, any help would be greatly appreciated I'm running samba 3.0.9 on redhat 9 stock ldap server that comes with redhat

These are all in the port of 1.2.3pre2: - configure accepts --includedir, but doesn't seem to pass it on to the Makefile. You have to edit the Makefile manually if you have include files anywhere but /usr/include. Which is a problem because... - The Makefile doesn't include /usr/local/include by default, which is where zlib installs itself by default. Probably oughta be in there.

Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only. This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel base offset, if it has been relocated.

Hi, I have successfully installed and configured Samba 3.0.2 PDC & BDC / ldap master & slave servers in local network. Then I moved BDC to another site (with WAN connectivity). Now I discovered that workstations on this site (with BDC) are not able to join domain. After some investigations (also tcpdump) I found out that problem is that BDC don't reply to NBNS requests for name

Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible. My config is: --- [global] debuglevel = 10 netbios name = SAMBAII workgroup = XAMBA security = user domain logons = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes

This is just a minor annoyance, but I wondered if anyone has any insights. When I first boot the system and log in to Gnome, and then plug in e.g. a USB stick or compact flash card, I get an icon for it on the desktop. I can right-click on this icon to "eject" the filesystem, etc. Eventually, though, for no obvious reason, this stops working and I no longer get an icon when I insert a

Hi everybody, Sorry to bother everyone with probs that have certainly been solved a hundred times ...But I'm getting nutz about something not working for several days. The solution may (sure it is, in fact) be easy, but it's not clear anymore for such a Samba newbie like me. Samba version = 3.0.2 Running on Linux Mandrake 10 I went through to whole install process to have my Linux

Hello! I use a PAM-module (pam_ncp_auth from ncpfs) for authentication against a netware server. pam_ncp_auth can create local UNIX user accounts from information in NDS, and it works perfect with login, gdm and telnet. But not with openssh (2.5 and 2.9). It works perfect if the user already is in /etc/passwd, but the first time he logs on he doesn't exist there. In that case openssh call

After some testing, I notice that my NOTIFYCMD script seems to work if I call it as user 'john' (that's me) but if I call it as 'root' it does not work. So is there a permissions issue ? I have permission on the file set to 755. I see there is a variable in upsmon.conf called RUN_AS_USER. I do not have this defined. Does this variable need to be defined ? I presume that if

Hi, all, I'd like to know if there is a way to set the ownership/group/permission when you are transfering files from a Windows clients to a Linux rsync server. I've tried following configurations, and none of them work. rsync -av --owner=test -g MyFolder 192.168.100.1::backup/test rsync -av --owner=500 -g MyFolder --numeric-ids 192.168.100.1::backup/test (500 is numeric id for user

Hi, there's a change made to 4.4p1, which gave some irritation on the Cygwin mailing list. It's a change from 20060907: - (djm) [sshd.c auth.c] Set up fakepw() with privsep uid/gid, so it can be used to drop privilege to; fixes Solaris GSSAPI crash reported by Magnus Abrante; suggestion and feedback dtucker@ NB. this change will require that the privilege separation user must

it's really^3 annoying that no matter the value of $HOME, that tilde_expand_filename() only looks at getpwnam() and friends instead of at least trying getenv("HOME"). What is the use case? HOME=longpath_to_config1 ssh -i ~/.ssh/key1 HOME=longpath_to_config2 ssh -i ~/.ssh/key2 but getpwnam() defeats this by always accessing what's in the passwd file. So .ssh/known_hosts is

Hello all, I am working with samba-3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze. From the smb.conf(5), I assumed that, by using 'ldapsam:trusted=yes', one can avoid touching the NSS/PAM configuration. However, I am getting a: user in passdb, but getpwnam() fails in the logs. Is my assumption wrong? Regards, Joe -- .o. I'm a Free man. I use Free Software. ..o ooo http://www.joesteeve.org/
