similar to: Windows-style quota / "profile size too big" warning?

There is a reason most NMS systems used SNMP in the past and REST apis past 7+ years. They don't use CLIs except toy Expect type scripts.. Not just security but better error handling and more.

Al like any open-source or free sofware you need to put the leg work into what you want it to be. My company is actually creating something using TINC and we believe in it. If successful we'll be giving back to TINC monetarily in a big way to make TINC even better so if TINC isn't for you keep an eye on further developments in the future.

Just search online why in general that is insecure via CLI vs programmatic for first class automation.. there is a reason why snmp, rest, ... exist.

Hello ! If anybody want`s to implement the psexec unix port or samba equivalent, maybe taking a look at xCmd from Zoltan Csizmadia at http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/network/remoteinvocation/article.php/c5433/ may help a LOT and is a very good example. (This one seems to work similar like psexec - but it is available with sourcecode!) I don`t know if the author is still reachable via this

How do you manage printers on Windows workstations? What I mean, suppose you have many classrooms, different printers (which sometimes change) in these classroms - how do you manage which workstation (or a group of them) will use which printer? So far I've been using WPKG for that - as I described here: http://wpkg.org/wiki/index.php/Printer_configuration But somehow I feel it

I am looking for some solution, working with Samba preferably, which would allow multiple users to work on one document. This means that if a user makes a change to the document, a previous version of that document is saved somewhere else. For example, user A opens a document (rw - read/write, ro - read-only document): rw \\server\share\document.txt User makes some changes, and saves it to

I have a share with a couple of symlinked files in it. On a Samba server, it looks like this for "addon" directory: # ls -l (...) acrobatreader7 (...) addon -> /home/samba/unattended-write/packages Now, if I mount it on a Linux client using smbmount, symlinks point to non existing directories locally (/home/samba/unattended-write/packages exist only on a Samba server): #

What is the easiest way to allow normal users to install printers (which are available through a Samba server)? Normally, Windows 2000 and XP need to have a printer installed by the admin first on a given workstation - only the it can be used by the user. I want to allow the user to install own printers. Now, when one trises to right click on a printer on a server and "connect", he

I have two offices in one city; employees work in both of them (once in office A, the next or an hour later in office B etc.). They would like to have the same profile (i.e., if they log off in office A, they would like to have their documents, Desktop, emails etc. in the profile in the office B when they arrive there an hour later). Is it possible with rsync to construct such a "two way

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k

For some reason, I'm unable to transfer *sometimes*, *some* files from a Windows server running rsyncd. 1. First, a try that succeeds - I want to copy "backup" directory, which is in "share": $ rsync --partial --dry-run -a -v --progress rsync://user@server/share/backup /tmp Password: receiving file list ... 30 files to consider backup/ backup/acls-c.bat.txt

Programmatic management with first class APIs is preferred for larger deployments..

Does LightDM support multiseat setups? For example, I have a PC with multiple graphics cards, monitors, keyboards - used by multiple users concurrently. Will LightDM let me use one PC by many users concurrently (i.e. login screen on every monitor, allowing to start different sessions for different users). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

I have a strange issue with Brother MFC-5440CN printer. When I print from Linux/CUPS, it prints colours fine. When I print from Windows, using Windows drivers (without Samba), it also prints fine. When I print from Windows through Samba/CUPS (drivers added using cupsaddsmb...), it gives me wrong colours: expected | result -------------------- yellow | blue blue | red red | green

I have a server with a hosting company, Hetzner. The servers at this hosting company have a public IP, let's say, A.B.C.D/255.255.255.x. Additionally, one can order extra IPs like below: 1) additional subnet (let's say X.Y.Z.0 / 28) 2) single IP (let's say, E.F.G.H) With additional subnet, assigning the IP to libvirt guest is simple: - assign X.Y.Z.1 on the host - assign X.Y.Z.2

I'm running Samba 3.0.23c on Debian-arm (unstable), kernel 2.6.18. I can copy files from the Samba server just fine, when I do it from a Linux machine. When I want to copy files from the Samba server to a Windows XP SP2 machine (connection made from Windows), it copies a couple of files, and then everything just freezes - Samba doesn't send any more packets, and I have to reconnect

As some of you may know, I'm trying to set up Samba BDC on a disk- and fan-less tiny mipsel_CPU router running OpenWRT distribution. I already managed to compile Samba 3.0.21a and OpenLDAP 2.3.18 for it, and they seem to work fine. The problem is, this tiny distribution for routers doesn't seem to have anything like Name Service Switch (NSS), and relies solely on /etc/passwd and
