At 4:00 every morning the 2 WinXP machines on my network generate a slew of queries to bad printer names. These names are variations on the name of a valid printer exported by Samba. Samba v3.0.10 is running on a RHEL4 system. It exports several shared drives and a single printer. The printer is named "lj4500", is managed by CUPS v1.1.22, and works correctly via Samba from both

[I posted this problem a couple of weeks ago and got no responses. So I'm trying again] I have a couple of applications on a WinXP/SP2 system that use data files on a Samba (v2.2.12, on Linux) shared drive. Immediately after booting the WinXP system these data files cannot be seen, yet become visible when the share is browsed with Windows Explorer. These applications are started

Recently I've seen several suggestions on this list for the enabling of "use sendfile" as a means to improve throughput. I thought this was peculiar since the doc says it is enabled by default. I guess it isn't. On both RHEL4 (Samba v3.0.10) and Fedora Core 4 (Samba v3.0.14) the entry for "use sendfile" in the smb.conf says: Default: use sendfile = yes Hmm.

Hello. I need to set up a mail server for a small (~5 people) organization on CentOS 5.1. While I am very familiar with CentOS and Linux in general, I have zero experience in setting up a POP3(s)/SMTP mail server. I suppose eventually I'd like to do spam/virus filtering, but initially the simple sending/receiving of mail will be adequate. Can someone point me to a tutorial on setting

Since updating from 4.5 to 4.6 yesterday, I am getting a lot of CUPS errors. The error.log file is filling up with these messages: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! And the access.log seems to be being polled often too, even in the absence of any print jobs submitted. On my network the CUPS-handled printer is exported from Samba. Given that the Samba

Using Samba v2.0.10 on a RedHat v7.1 box, I see that the Win98 clients on our network are making sporatic requests for user "nobody" (as shown below). Anyone know what's going on here? My network has both Linux and Win98 clients, but only the Win98 clients are showing this behavior. Both the Linux and Win98 clients access the same shared drives, but only the Win98 clients use

Hi, I am following the guide here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html I have an ubuntu 11.04 VM setup, installed rvm, and ruby (ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]). Pulled down the rails from github and created a 3.0 branch: $ git branch --track 3-0-stable origin/3-0-stable $ git checkout 3-0-stable I can run the non-db tests ok, all pass

I've got several SMP machines, some running CentOS 4.3 and some running Fedora Core 4. All machine are kept fully updated. A few are Pentium3-based and a few are Pentium4-based. They are all running the irqbalance daemon. The distribution of interrupts across CPUs is indeed kept balanced, yet even after months of uptime ps shows no CPU use whatsoever by irqbalance. This from a

Hi, I just noticed one of my XEN domU''s rebooting by itself. No one was logged in and it wasn''t under load, but just rebooted. It rebooted again about an hour or 2 later Is there any way to see why to see what caused this, either from domU, or dom0 ? /var/log/messages has no indicative reason, but here it is: Aug 1 18:47:06 venus shutdown[13758]: shutting down for system

Hi folks - I am configuring a new system and the antispam plugin is the last piece I need, everything else is working. Thanks to Johannes for this plugin, it's exactly what I want and an elegant solution for filter training. But I've been trying everything I can think of for the last 3 days to get this to work, no success. I've got: Postfix 2.5.3, dspam 3.8.0, Dovecot 1.1.6,

Given that I hardly ever use the CD-ROM drive, it makes no sense to have hal constantly polling it for new media. How can I disable this polling in CentOS 5.1? Thanks.

Dear all, Since couple of weeks, I'm trying to configure Samba to get UID & GID from Windows 2003 AD. I read samba documentation & how to, but it still not working. Here are the tasks I've perform: - I installed SFU on my Windows 2003 Server - I configure /etc/samba/smb.conf: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = TOTO netbios name = VENUS encrypt

CentOS v5.1 insists on loading about a dozen audio-related drivers at boot time. Since this is a server machine, it will never run applications that require sound output. I tried setting "alias snd_cs46xx off" in modprobe.conf. Yet the system still loads that driver and the many, many other audio drivers that go with it. How can I disable the loading of audio drivers at boot

Hi experts - I hope you can help me. I am trying to resolve Windows host names (aka Netbios names, aka "UNC names) from a Linux box. I have added "dns wins" to the "hosts" line at the nsswitch configuration file: /etc/nsswitch.conf, and installed samba 3.2.2 and ran winbindd -D". Now, when I go: "wbinfo -N venus" (where venus is a Windows UNC pc host

In the course of upgrading from CentOS 5.4 to CentOS 5.5 I changed from using the samba (v3.0.x) packages to the samba3x (v3.3.8) packages, mostly because the newer version was said to better support Win7. The Samba server services Linux, WinXP, and Win7 clients. Now I get many, many errors logged to the Samba logs shortly after 3:00 AM, but only from the Win7 clients. I get roughly 430

Hi: I've been using rsync for a couple years now. Unfortunately, I've made some changes on both ends, so it's unclear what could be the culprit. I make extensive use of --link-dest to provide a cheap "Time Machine"-like backup for a Windows machine.
