Hello all. What are the implications of changing the domain name for a PDC? If I understand correctly, the SID is based on the domain name, so if the domain name (workgroup) setting in smb.conf is changed, will that mean that a new SID will be generated? If so, then I assume that all user/group SIDs will have to be updated. If the domain name is changed, can I just state that this is an

Hi One of our customers has a Filemaker database which needs to be accessed for some data. Using the Web Companion, I can query the database for an XML version of the data. I need to be able to push this data into an array of hashes, so I can access it in a more convenient way. Filemaker is able to provide me with 2 XML formats (DSO-XML and FMP-XML): *********** DSO-XML ***********

All - I am in the process of writing my own "add machine script" to use with Samba 3.0.20a and our OpenLDAP setup. For the most part it seems to work fine. If I run the script from the command line, I can see that the entry has been added to LDAP. If I then go to the Windows machine and tell it to join the domain, after giving it the Admin login and password it connects up with no

Hello all - I'm having a bit of a problem that I'm sure is being caused by my missing some trivial detail. But I haven't been able to find it, and I'm not even sure how I would construct the search to find relevant info in the archives. Here is the setup. I have Samba 3.0.20a running as a PDC against a LDAP back end. For the most part everything works fine. Users that are

I am running FileMaker 6.0 via Wine on Ubuntu 6.10. I have a file/ table/whatever it is called Case.fp5 and another table called Actions.fp5. Case is a one to many relationship to Actions, related via the CaseID. Date Closed is calculated in Case: If Last(Actions::Action Type) = "Close" then Date Closed = Last(Actions::Date Created) (something like that since I can't actually see

Hi, I am new to this list but I have tried to search for answers to this one. Ever since we moved the *.fp5 files off a windows 2000 server and onto samba filemaker is now 20% the speed it was before. It was happening with samba 2.2.3a and I have just recently upgraded to 2.2.5 and it didn't fix the problem. I suspect it's a locking issue and the speed of getting locks on the files.

I'm working on upgrading a Samba server from Version 2.2.8a to Version 3.0.4. One of the things I've noticed is that the samba.schema has changed. I'll admit that I haven't done an exhaustive search yet, but in looking over the documentation I haven't seen any mention of anything that needs to be done to migrate an existing directory to the new schema. Are there any tools

I'd like a bit of a Sanity Check to make sure I understand the process. We are setting up filesharing on a Linux server via Samba (3.0.2). We would like to give the users personal space (home directories), but we don't want to add them as Linux users (no entries in /etc/passwd). The users are defined in an LDAP directory. If I understand it correctly, in order to do this we will need

Hello all I'm trying once again to get a Samba server set up on a Slackware Linux system for a small office (much less than 100 users). There will be multiple domains on this system (say foo.com, bar.com, ...) with the users scattered between these domains. We want to use LDAP to authenticate the users and provide authorization info. There are no Windows domain controllers available. All

Dear All I'm new to Linux, and even newer to Wine. So, please excuse... I've got a Dell D800 with both Linux and Windows installed. Linux is Debian Etch, Windows is XP. The reason for installing Wine was that I'd like to use FileMaker Pro 8.5 from within Linux. I've installed Wine to the Linux world by: sudo apt-get install wine This worked without problems. In the shell, I

Hi, Thought I have been using Linux for a few years, use wine almost every day to run Corel apps on my laptop, and can get small win apps to load, I have not had any sucess running Filemaker. If it is possable- I would very much love to demo the new version of ebase running with wine on Linux at the August Filemaker Confrence. Is there anyone who monitors this group who has sucessfuly run

I have been looking for a database application to use in conjunction with R (on a Windows network). When I approached my organization's IT department to ask about using MySQL, they made a counter-offer of Filemaker Pro (v8). It is not specifically mentioned in 'R Data Import/Export', nor do searches of the archives turn up much information. Does anyone have any experience using

Hi I am told that filemaker follows an SQL standard. We have filemaker pro 8.0 Can I access the database using activerecords or Rails? All I see mentioned is postgres, mysql, etc I found http://rubyforge.org/projects/rfm/ it requires FileMaker Server Advanced 7.0, But the server advanced is 1400$ for education and I can''t justify the cost right now. My goal is to develop a small

Hi, I was wondering if some Wine wizards would be willing to help me with a few residual issues I'm having with FileMaker 8 Pro on Wine 0.9.3. Something changed between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3, and I'm interested to know what, that made the actual application usable. (an MSI MaskEdit patch fixed the installation issue post-0.9.2, thanks!) Under 0.9.2 typing into a database form field

So I have a freebsd machine setup, and it has 2 nick's in it. One is a REAL IP, and pulls in internet, the other is a a nat'ed nick, with samba running on it for the machines behind the firewall. Anyone know what to toss into my smb.conf to not let my outside nick xmit smbd/nmbd ? No one can connect via that interface, but people/viruses/whatever are still trying. Thanks! C.

Hello -- Our existing Unix system has more than 500 users. The system currently uses OpenLDAP to authenticate users. We just added dozens of PCs running Windows to the network. We are going to set up the existing Unix server as a samba PDC server such that the users can log onto either their Unix account or Windows account. It seems a good idea to allow the users have the same password for

Hi all, I''ve got a very obscure problem. We''re trying to get Rails to talk to Filemaker. So we''ve setup an ODBC dsn and via RubyODBC we''re talking to it. Excellent.

Hi everyone, I am running ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) and have the latest version of wine installed (from winehq). The application I'm having trouble with is Filemaker Pro 8. It installed without any problems. It opens without any problems. Everything looks normal. I can create a new database and open an existing one. Both work. However after a short period of experimenting (just generally
