Hi all, I'm seeing slow transfers to/from my samba server. I just tried to copy a 270MB file from a samba share to an XP machine. At first, the estimated time displayed as 141 minutes :( The odd thing is that if I then flood-ping from the server (in this case, I pinged my dsl router), the transfer completes in about 10 seconds. Hitting F5 repeatedly when browsing a share on the server

I''ve finally determined that the best way to handle administration of a model that displays publicly but is administered privately is through subclassing but I''ve run in to pathing issues (I think) when trying to create an instance of my model. Let''s say I have a Book, and BookController is a sublcass of AdminController so that I can create and delete Books via an Admin

i have an NT4 server and a linux samba server. the NT4 server is currently the WINS server. it works perfectly. i want to ditch it and use my samba server as the WINS server, however WINS simply does not work. could this be becuase the WINS server also needs to be the local master browser? here is the global section of my smb.conf [global] workgroup = laboratory os level = 2

Hello, I know this is off topic, but I've come to the conclusion that the only people who can answer my question is other Samba users... I would like to deploy on our network a centrally administered antivirus program. We're running Win98 machines doing NT type logins to Samba running on a RedHat 6.1 box. It seems that as I have researched antivirus programs which can be centrally

Hi folks, Can anyone tell me the file / edit location to disable the login/password prompt at boot? We are configuring some machines to be administered remotely and headless. Thanks, KC

I administer an NT network. My boss administers the Unix side. He runs a box that runs Samba. Our NT users have a share on the Samba box that is mapped by their NT profile. It contains their profile and personal file storage. We are planning a move to Windows 2000. It will be in native mode (no NT boxes, no WINS, no netbios). Can Samba handle authentication with Win 2000? What version of Samba

Hi, probably an ignorant question, maybe I'm missing something ... Is there a way for a sshd server to be able to enforce both client host key authentication as well as user authentication, say for roving user-administered laptops. So a sysadmin can restrict access to allow only client hosts which can pass the HostbasedAuthentication tests, whatever the current IP name/address, but still

Dear Samba-Users, I have to administer a Samba WINS Server in a heterogenous network. It's a student hostel with about 200 mixed (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) computers. We have a DHCP, which delivers the WINS-Server address to the clients. I don't have access to the clients. The problem is, that the WINS-Server (Samba 3.0.27) looses the Master-Browser election irregulary. I can't

Hi all, We need to start obtaining some billing files from BT via a dial-up ISDN connection and I'm wondering if Asterisk is capable of doing this? I need to make an ISDN dial-up CHAP connection and, once connected, grab some files over FTP. Currently, our Asterisk box is connected to an ISDN30 with a Zaptel card. This may be a downright stupid question but I'm trying to find out if

Hi, everybody I have an account on Dreamhost.com and when I renewed it recently, their message said my usage of storage and bandwidth had been reasonably low. In an idle moment about 3 weeks ago, I followed your instructions to set up a CRAN mirror on their server. Here it is: http://www.freefaculty.org/cran It is not hosted at my University, but it is a working, high availability server. Is

Heya Mark (and others), Here's an update on my adventures while trying to debug the Zaptel-related panics, as discussed on this list a while back. While debugging the problem, I completely swapped the machine for an entirely different model (Supermicro dual Xeon 2.4GHz with 2Gb of RAM), put the cards in, recompiled * + Zaptel and administered my stress-test. The machine stayed up in excess

Hmm, thanks to all who replied... you've actually made me think of another question... I gues it's a bit odd on this list to see someone who's looking at using AD that doesn't know anything about it... last time I was tempted down the Windows path it was Win9x. Anyway, you mentioned "netgroup management", which makes me wonder if the other NIS style maps can be

I have a setup with multiple hosts, each of them are administered separately. So there are no unified uid/gid for the users. When mounting a GlusterFS volume, a file owned by user1 on host1 might become owned by user2 on host2. I was looking into POSIX ACL or bindfs, but that won't help me much. What did other people do with this kind of problem? -------------- next part -------------- An

I administer a remote server and want to apply some of the security patches. (I assume this is the best way to go since I can't go into single-user mode to use CVsup). I have a couple of questions. First, I have installed one of the pgp ports to verify the patches. When I run it, I get this message: > File 'buffer46.patch.asc' has signature, but with no text. > Text is

Hi all, I''ve put new code into my app so that an administrator will have extra privileges (administer users, edit pages). The error is: ''Couldn''t find User without an ID'' So the app is looking for a logged in user when the homepage is accessed. Heres my code: site/index view: <% if is_logged_in? and logged_in_user.has_role?(''Moderator'')

I made the changes you proposed but still my system must be messed up. Please have a look at the screenshots below... may be you or some other guru would know how to come out of this mess. http://pasteboard.co/Ba9Ex0NQD.png http://pasteboard.co/3Iq39El98.png By the way, is there a clean way to reset ADDC and DM so that I could start fresh? those two virt machines are just lab machines. I can do

Hi, I've never been a Windows user, but I'm curious to see how the AD integration works in Linux, since it looks like we may need to have one or two Windows desktops and I don't realy want to start setting up Windows infrastructure. If I can have Samba as a domain controller that makes things a lot simpler. I have one question tho, the documentation suggests using the Microsoft

Ok, I've been searching Google for two days and can't seem to find an answer for this. I want to use ACL's, but I need to be able to administer them in Win XP. My distro is Suse 9.1 and I'm running a standalone Samba server. I can create acl's just fine in Linux/shell, and when I view a file in the Security tab I can see and edit all the ACL parameter's just fine.

Hello. I have two servers: -One is a vpn server with pptpd. It has debian sarge 3.1, kernel(2.6.8), pptd(1.2.1-4), ppp(2.4.3-2) and Samba(3.0.14a-3). All the accounts to log on the vpn are on /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file. -The other is a pdc with samba(2.2.7) in red hat 8 I want the accounts in the first server (chap-secrets file) authenticate against the pdc server (/etc/samba/smbpasswd) on
