similar to: "Re-constituting" smbpasswd machine entry?

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

[In other words, I obviously need a NIC -- but what would be the

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, 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

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...

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'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

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 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,

Hey, all. I quoted a customer about $100 for some cheap SIP phones. I was planning on using the BT-102's, but he called said they look like "Princess phones," and I have to admit that he has a point. Some of the other inexpensive phones look decent, but (for example) the SPA-841's wiki entry says the remote end gets a lot of static. Since it'll be being used from a noisy

Hi, all. I've got a fax extension in my extensions.conf, but spandsp never sends my faxes there. Both applications -- txfax and rxfax -- are registered by Asterisk, so they compiled and installed correctly. I've got a Sangoma A104 card, and (as some people had suggested) have loaded ztdummy. Everything seems fine, except that it never gets recognized as a fax. I've even turned off

Hi, all. I'm thinking of provisioning my (non-PRI) T1 to be part data, part voice (currently, it's only voice). With the T100P, how do I get it to "do" data? Just load up the HDLC module, and it gets an IP address? Or...? I tried RTFM'ing, but there just doesn't seem to be much on it (leastwise, that's readily findable). Thanks much, Ken D'Ambrosio

Hi, all. Got my Uniden UIP200 today (ordered from thetwistergroup.com), and was very excited to set it up... until I came to the realization that there were no docs with it whatsoever. There was, however, a sheet of paper with the stock warnings (don't use the phone in the tub, etc.), AND a URL -- for documentation. Score! Well, no. The URL it gave me, bcs.uniden.com, does indeed have

Okay, I'm terribly confused. If I build and run Asterisk with the 1.0.0 sources that I downloaded from Digium, my Polycom 300 works just fine. If I build with either various CVS builds, or the 1.0.6 sources from Digium, I get "No compatible codecs!". WTF? I'm using -the exact same- config files for both; I've tried enabling/disabling ULAW, ALAW and G279 on the

Hi, all. I just upgraded my sip.cfg for my Polycoms, and that damn warble on registration(? -- maybe it's on acquiring an IP?) has started again. I still have the old sip.cfg, but can't figure out which option it is. Any help?

Hey, all -- I'm looking to do some LDAP/Samba 3.x integration. I've found a bunch of docs, but a lot of them either are outdated, incomplete, or reference materials I haven't been able to find. Is there a one-stop-shopping document I should be looking at? Thanks! Ken D'Ambrosio

Hi, all. I want to have a button on my receptionist's 601 that, when pressed, will forward her current call to a given extension. Is there any way to do that? I've tried to RTFM, but I'm coming up empty. Thanks, -Ken D'Ambrosio

Hiya. I've got an XFS partition, have compiled and installed all the XFS stuff, then compiled (with --with-acl-support) samba, which then returns: checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... yes checking for ACL support... yes Using posix ACLs So it would seem to me that ACLs would be supported. So then I install and run it, add the box to the (Samba 2.2.2)
