Hello, I run a Windows domain based on Samba 3 and I am searching for a way to distribute/deploy software to clients. I.e., a user logging on to a client, software should be automatically installed or upgraded. Is there any common solution? I heard of MSI packages, but I don't know if it is necessary to create MSI packages of all installations... Thanks Florian

Hello, I am looking for a command-line utility to automatically purge one Maildir folder. I want to periodically run sa-learn from cron, and after the spam learning folder has been added to the Bayes database, its contents should be deleted. I've searched a bit, but only found a few old utilities or some telnet+expect scripts, which both didn't look too reliable. Is there any

Hello fellow list members, does anyone knows of a good HOWTO (or a book) for setting up Samba as a PDC? I have been dealing around with the Samba HOWTO collection, but to be honest, this is a hard job. There are some errors in it and descriptions are not this good. I even don't know what all the tools are for. I'm really experienced in Linux server stuff, but this one drives me mad.

Hello, I have found out that a domain administrator is always mapped to root in the UNIX filesystem: drwx------ 2 jive smbguests 1024 2004-12-23 18:59 jive drwx------ 13 salsa smbusers 1024 2004-12-23 18:58 salsa drwx------ 13 root smbadmins 1024 2004-12-23 18:56 tango jive is a domain guest user, salsa a domain user and tango a domain administrator.

Hello there, I am playing around with Asterisk the first time and it really looks great. ;-) However, I have one problem: Any SIP device can connect to my PBX. How can I requre logon for SIP users and deny access in the case of wrong or missing credentials? Thanks Florian

Hello there, I'm trying to set up Samba as a PDC for Windows XP Professional (SP2). It seems to work fine. Machine accounts are created automatically, passwords between Unix and Samba users get synced, I can logon, profile directories are created - but there's a problem. I know that this is well-known, but it drives me crazy and I don't know any solution. First of all, the

I have two samba servers on two separate subnets that are comprising a single domain, and one of the samba servers is also the LDAP server. I've gotten everything configured except that I can't use the groupmap command. When I run: net groupmap add sid=<SID>-512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=dom_admin type=domain I get this error over and over again (and

Hello, I use Thunderbird as IMAP client and do a lot of server-side filtering with Sieve scripts. To be notified of new mails, I want to check all folders (a lot of them...) at once for new mails, and not only the inbox. According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Checking_for_new_messages_in_other_folders_-_Thunderbird it should be sufficient to enable one setting -- given that the IMAP server

Hello, is it possible to define the sender for the Dovecot Sieve implementation's vacation extension? It seems to be impossible to add, e.g., a name, or choose a different sender address. Thanks, Florian

Hello, I've searched the Howtos, but I did not find anything, so I'm asking this question onlist. When are connections between Samba and the client encrypted? I run Samba 3.0.20a on a network with Windows XP SP2 and some Windows 98 machines. - Are connections always encrypted? Are there any smb.conf settings I have to make in order to get encryption working (server signing?)? - Are

Hm, winbind is not working, but I

Hi list, I'm having problems removing entries using net groupmap.
