similar to: roaming profiles and quota limits

I would like to have roaming profiles for one group of users (student1, student2), and local profiles for another group of users (Joe, Mary). Is it possible with Samba? From what I've tested, one can use either roaming profiles with a setting similar to the one below: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%G\%U Or local profiles, using the logon path empty: logon path = I have no clue how to

With Windows domain controllers with when the profile size is too big (and there are limits appled), when the user logs out, he/she gets a warning, and a list of files, sorted from the biggest, to the smallest. To get an idea how it looks like, here's a screenshot: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/5057/Screen_03.gif http://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/5057/5057.html Is

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 folks, I reported a bug here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63071 but I am not sure if that was the right thing to do. This is producing OOM issues and leading to system crashes (including eventual panics) with such alarming frequency that I wonder if perhaps there is something different about my setup than others. In a nutshell, I originally made the mistake of storing a

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.

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

I was wondering, if it's possible to set up Samba as a sort of a domain controller for Linux workstations? I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

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..

I have a strange issue with roaming profiles. It only happens for users which has no roaming profile on a Samba server yet. When a user logs out for the first time, some files can't be copied from: C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo\ to a profiles directory on the server. (Files like 31/2Floppy(A).lnk, some *.tmp files etc.). Only very rarely, a first-time logout process happens

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''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 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
