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 there, where are the Windows file permissions (i.e. ACL) stored when using Samba? How can I change them from within Linux? Or is it only possible with the Windows file permissions dialogue? Thanks Florian

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

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

I tried at work to run "/usr/bin/smbspool" manually: --- $ /usr/bin/smbspool Xerox-WorkCentre-5325 \'5\' \'yugiohjcj\' \'2.pdf\' \'1\' DEBUG: Connected with username/password... --- The behavior at work is different from the one at home because it is not the same computer used and the /etc/samba/smb.conf is available.

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.

I have a Samba 3.0.6 server and a CUPS 1.2.0 server running on my machine. They have been compiled with: Samba: ./configure --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-quotas --with-sys-quotas CUPS: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cups --with-cups-user=cups --with-cups- group=cups --with-docdir=/usr/local/cups/docdir --with- logdir=/usr/local/cups/logdir --with-rcdir=/usr/local/cups/rcdir --enable-ssl

Hi, We have an issue with Samba panicking after an error connecting to CUPS (see log below). Samba 3.0.7 CUPS 1.1.20 Debian Woody After the panic, CUPS is still oparational, but not Samba.

I'm using Samba 3.0.7 with the printername_and_queue_update.patch (http://samba.org/~jerry/patches/post-3.0.7) from Jerry and cups as the print spooler. For every printer, where the samba printername and the cups printer name differs, i get errormessages like the following: [2004/10/25 16:30:00, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_queue_get(900) Unable to get jobs for

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.

I'm also seeing this problem. We're running samba 3.0.7 with CUPS 1.1.20. The clients printing are WinXP Professional SP1. The jobs printed are still displayed in the Windows printer status window, even though it's been printed already and disappears from the CUPS printer queue list.

Everyone, I have a new installation of Centos 5.1 that I am using on a gateway server that also has dhcp, named servers. I also have cups set up to function as a print server, and sendmail is being used as a relay to our mail server. yum-cron appears to be updating everything daily as desired. This Centos 5.1 gateway was created to replace a Fedora Core 5 system with the same functions. When

Hello, I am having a problem when printing pdf files as viewed from firefox/acroread to a samba print share. When I print from firefox, I get PJL output. If I print the very same file directly from Acrobat, the file prints properly. Standard web pages print from firfox just fine. #Sample output -12345X@PJL COMMENT MS PCLXL NT DRIVER @PJl JOB NAME ...

I've seen various posts to this and other lists about CUPS, Windows printing, and downloading of drivers for an IPP printer installed on a Windows machine, the printer being serviced by CUPS. I have downloaded the respective Windows 9x, 2K, and XP drivers from manufacturers' sites, and want to find a way to implement them to CUPS, so if anyone opts to mount a printer via http, the drivers
