Hi, all. I've always assumed that there's a way to do transparent WINS-based hostname resolution, but I'm durned if I can figure out how. In other words, I imagine that you could just add another entry to /etc/resolv.conf (eg., "hosts: files dns wins") that would allow me to ping foo and have it attempt to resolve through each in turn. Does this exist, and I've just

Hi, all. I've got a few PCs that, for various reasons, "fell out" as members of my domain. The problem here is that they didn't know it, and, using cached information, have been chugging along fine for their end users. This means that their locally cached profiles are w-a-y out of synch with the stuff on the server. So, my question: is there any way to "re-add" 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...

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.

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

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

I don't pretend to be the first, but we have a FreeBSD server for mail and samba here and the other sysadmin types (not me. :-) ) use win95. I thought of this as a quick solution to letting them know when there's a problem. #! /bin/sh WARN() { # Change the next line to be the list of machines to notify for j in zephyr irocz sjrr do echo $@ | /usr/local/bin/smbclient -M $j

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.

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.

Hello All, Does anyone know how one could send the same Winpopup message to all Win-clients on a network? I need it for building a fail-over system, in case our primary server goes down, I need a way to automate the process of informing all clients that they need to log-off the network, wait a few minutes and then log back on, while the back-up server switches a few configuration files and

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".

Hi There, I'm using Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community, kernel version 2.6 I want to send a message to Windows clients from my Samba 3.0.2a box. Clients are w2k and winxp. If i say in CL $> smbclient -M recipient_machine then recieve error message "session request failed". Here the part of debug log: ------------------------------------ [gri@griff gri]$ smbclient -M serv -d5 ... ...

[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

Hi, I have a linux (redhat 6.0) print server and I am running samba 2.0.3-8 serving win95 machines. I would like the print server to send a message to the win95 when a print job is completed. To do that, I run winpopup on win95. However, if win95 users close winpopup, they do not receive any message. Is there any more realiable method to communicate with win95 machines? I would appreciate any

Just wondering if there is a way to send a WinPopup message to a user (using username). I have had a look at smbclient but it appears to only allow sending messages to a computer name. Thanks in advance, Russell Kliese

Before I start I should say that I will pay $2000US to get the information or code I seek. I need code or protocol specs to be able to send winpopup messages. It cannot be done via mail slots because it has to work over the internet at large. If you type in "net send x.x.x.x hello" on any windows nt or xp machines it will send a winpopup using UDP ports 137 and then 135 (also 1031 and

Hello i am sending winpopup messages throught (smbclient -M) and it seem to work fine but i dont recieve anything at my w98 machines. For example, i do: ---------------------- jorge@tagoror:~> smbclient -M ALFA added interface ip=192.201.11.67 bcast=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.201.11.1 bcast=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response

Greetings- Perhaps slightly OT, but still involving the SMB/CIFS protocol: I am searching for an application which would allow a Linux client (Ubuntu) to send/receive WinPopup messages. The only one I have located thus far is LinPopup. However, it depends on the Samba (server) package. I do not want to deploy a bazillion Samba servers! TIA! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Hi there. how do I send a winpopup message to a machine knowing its IP only? I tryed witch 'smbclient -M ' but I need the netbios for that machine... -- Enrique Iglesias Rodriguez System Administrator http://www.intelideas.net Madrid, Spain -- CtrInt

I want to use smbclient -M to send new mail notification to unix users. I have some of our workstations running smbd from inetd and am using the "message command" option quite successfully. What I was wondering is, has someone implemented the winpopup reception end in a form that would be more efficient than using full blown smbd? Am I making myself clear? Perhaps if someone could
