similar to: Smbpasswd in a cron job

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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): #

Hi list For a project we are trying to change the samba password automatically in a cron job. Since smbpasswd doesn't allow the password to be entered otherwise than though the console (user input). We found a solution to the input part though expect. But as thing go expect doesn't work in a cron job since it has no tty. Is there anyone who can point us the right way to a solution.

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":

I was wondering about general stability of glusterfs on 32 bit x86 Linux. I have it running without problems on some lightly used 32 bit systems, but this scares me a bit if I decided to use it in production[1]: While the 3.x versions of Gluster will compile on 32bit systems we do not QA or test on 32-bit systems. We strongly suggest you do NOT run Gluster in a 32-bit environment. I was

I have the following appended to gluster logs at around 100kB of logs per second, on all 10 gluster servers: [2012-06-11 15:08:15.729429] I [dht-layout.c:682:dht_layout_dir_mismatch] 0-sites-dht: subvol: sites-client-41; inode layout - 966367638 - 1002159031; disk layout - 930576244 - 966367637 [2012-06-11 15:08:15.729465] I [dht-common.c:525:dht_revalidate_cbk] 0-sites-dht: mismatching layouts

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 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 trying to join a Windows 2008 to a Samba4 domain. I'm able to ping Samba4 or browse its network shares. Unfortunately, I can't join Windows 2008 to this Samba4 domain - I'm not even asked for Administrator password. Windows 2008 errors with the below message, which roughly translates to: DSN-query for domain "samba4.my.domain" was successful. The query was for

For some reason, I'm unable to transfer *sometimes*, *some* files from a Windows server running rsyncd. 1.
