similar to: Samba LDAP caching when LDAP server unavailable - possible?

I just compiled Samba 3.0.21a for Linux/mipsel/uclibc. When I want to start smbd, it fails: [2006/01/19 12:29:09, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(113) Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,65534) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0) [2006/01/19 12:29:09, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1554) PANIC: failed to set gid The only way to start smbd is to put this into smb.conf: guest account = root But I'm

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

I'm trying to cross-compile Samba 3.0.21a to run on mipsel (using uClibc). It fails at some point however, and I can't spot the problem: # ./configure --target=mipsel-linux --host=mipsel-linux --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu && make (...) Compiling lib/sendfile.c Compiling lib/time.c lib/time.c: In function `GetTimeOfDay': lib/time.c:66: error: too few arguments to function

Hello! I try to maintain a couple off old Openwrt based routers. The routers run openwrt whiterussian, so it quite outdated. But it is a little dangerous to update a remote machine from whiterussian to kamikaze or backfire, this may be usefull for others. I used the openwrt whiterussian 0.9 sdk and the attached Makefile to compile all tinc versions till 1.0.11. Since 1.0.11 the compile process

Greetings. I'm new to tinc, but have so far managed to get a couple laptops and a hosted server all connected. They're working as expected, running Tinc 1.1-pre11, which I compiled from source. Next I want to move on to adding my home router into the mix. My routers run OpenWRT. I don't have experience compiling anything from source for OpenWRT, but OpenWRT has Tinc 1.0.25

Since then . . . Ok. I think I'll start with the 1.0 series packages that are already out there and get them working. and on Tue, Jan 27, 2015,

Hey Saverio, I'd really like the idea of a tinc-1.1-pre package for OpenWRT. I'm currently using tinc-1.1 with an Ed25519-only network, really like the new features and CLI and want to add some OpenWRT routers into the mix. How do you plan to handle things with OpenSSL? tinc-1.1 from git should be able to compile without it (but will then only support the built-in algorithms). Depending

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.

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

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.

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

At the beginning of August, Mikulas Patocka posted to linux-kernel mailing list about adding snapshot merging to LVM[1]. Basicaly, snapshot merging means that it is possible to turn a snapshot back into its origin. Using LVM, however, means that you need to have free place outside of the filesystem (i.e., in physical volume) to make snapshots, which is not always possible on workstations and

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): #

I have an asterisk box and SIP / IAX2 phones. To call out, users have to add 0 (zero) before a real telephone number. That means, that if they want to call someone that has a number 123456, they have to call 0-123456. Simple, right? This has a serious drawback though - when someone calls us from the number 123456, we see the callerID 123456, and we're unable to use the callback/redial

rsync in daemon mode is very powerful, yet it comes with one big disadvantage: data is sent in plain. The workarounds are not really satisfying: - use VPN - one needs to set up an extra service, not always possible - use stunnel - as above - use SSH - is not as powerful as in daemon mode (i.e. read only access, chroot, easy way of adding/modifying users and modules etc.) Why was encrypted

I''m trying to use this feature of qgroup: btrfs qgroup assign <srcid> <destid> <path> Assigns the lower level qgroup src to the higher level qgroup dest in the btrfs found in <path>. It is used to build qgroup hierarchies. However, I fail to understand how this feature should work, and I''m getting "ERROR: bad relation requested":
