Hi, I've been using TrippLite's PowerAlert software with my RM2200XL2U rack system and my APC BackUPS desktop systems. Unfortunately it doesn't work with openSUSE 10.2 (the software has problems with the serial port and UPS interfaces on openSUSE 10.2), so I've been looking at other options. I see that openSUSE 10.2 includes NUT, and it appears to work with my TrippLite UPS via

I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif

I keep getting this kind of stuff in /var/log/messages Jan 18 17:45:03 bulldog tripplite_usb[9979]: libusb_get_interrupt() returned -110 instead of 8 Should I be worried about it? upsc seems to work fine... I tried building the 2.0.5 but none of the included spec files seemed to work with opensuse 10.2 and adapting their 2.0.4 spec file didn't seem to work out well either. Building from

I'm currently using the suse ldapsmb utility for all the script operations, but I want to do some custom script work for creating user and machine accounts. For example, I want to manipulate the default object classes and directory placement for new machines--putting them into ou=Devices instead of ou=Users, and giving them the parent objectClasses of account and ipHost [for NIS and DHCP

Is user authentication ever needed for just querying variables? My cacti script seems to be cooked, and I'm just wondering if I need to mess with username/password stuff. Not hard but if it's not needed then why bother... Thanks -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/

I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

I have two domains, one called CORP (which is 2003 AD) and the other is called LABS (which is running Samba 3.5.4-5.1.2). I have established bi-directional trust between them and most of the basic tests show apparent success. However there are a couple of issues left that I am trying to chase down. First issue is that I would like to filter out the local (LABS) users and groups in winbind if

Hi there, I just saw samba added the "net rpc service" for Win32 service management since 3.0.20, and it's fantastic. I used to use samba-tng to do this job, but now I can use samba! However, I also found it has limited usage. I cannot pass parameters when I start a service, and I cannot create a new service, too. Is there any plan for samba to extend this feature? -- Best

I've gotten Samba+LDAP working on one network, and trust relationship established with a remote AD network. I've also got my samba groups as members of the AD groups (eg, Samba "users" is a member of AD "users", with the ACL stuff working as expected). Going the other direction seems somewhat non-obvious however. Somehow, I will need to include the winbind groups as

I noticed in isolinux that I could use -1 to specify the last boot device, which is my PXE here (I've got it setup to get called after nothing else works). I'm wondering, is there a standard address reference for PXE? Like, floppies are usually addressed as 0x00 and first HD is usually addressed as 0x80, is there a standard for PXE? It'd be great to have a reliable "boot from

Curious what folks think the best choice of filesystem is, specifically when used for Samba and regular Unix users (SMB+NFS access). I'm using Reiser now but its slow and doesn't work good XP attributes. I've also used XFS (a couple of years ago) and liked it but had some troubles with cross-platform Unix and the extended ACLs. What's the preference today? Thanks -- Eric A.

Also been playing with the event logging stuff, and it's really nice in conjunction with the svcctl feature. It's kind of weird on implementation though. Couple of thoughts here. First, the eventlog daemon should have a command-line switch to read in single-line logfiles directly. Right now there is a three-stage conversion process where single-line text has to be converted to multi-line

I just moved a server to another machine, and everything seems to be working. But when I tried to browse the users and groups with the NT User Manager for Domains tool I got errors. This showed up in log.smbd: [2006/12/29 23:14:28, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(42) INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 6 in pid 23302 (3.0.23d-6-1083-SUSE-SL10.2) Please read the Trouble-Shooting section of the Samba3-HOWTO

I'm using samba-3.0.23d-19 on openSUSE 10.2 with an LDAP PDC arrangement I'm trying to sort out some problems with adding a trust relationship. Specifically, smbpasswd is failing when I try to create/modify the domain account. Further investigation shows that it is also failing to modify workstation accounts. However it is able to modify user accounts fine. The big difference here seems

We've got a Windows 2003 server which won't join our Samba domain, it just sits their forever after I give the root password to join. It doesn't give an \ error message or "Welcome to domainxyz" message. It also won't join a workgroup, which is strange. Has anyone else seen this problem? No problems with XPSP2 clients. Not got 2003 SP1 on yet, might try that next.

Hi list. I've decided to try and tackle this one piece at a time. Does anyone know why I would get the following error: [root@primary ~]# net groupmap list [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_setsamgrent(2458) ldapsam_setsamgrent: LDAP search failed: Size limit exceeded [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_enum_group_mapping(2523) ldapsam_enum_group_mapping:

Hello, I am running Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9, and I am trying to get Samba to authenticate using LDAP. I am using the YaST system tool to configure the LDAP server, LDAP client, and SAMBA. The issue I am having is that after I configure the Samba server to use the LDAP backend it prompts me for a password creation for the root user. This root user will be added to the LDAP
