Hi all. We have a file server using samba with a lot of Mac clients. Mac uses files called .DS_Store to store information about the layout of the files in the directory. We have a hierarchal storage system, and don't want to back up the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of .DS_store files. Currently we have a policy in place that these files don't get backed up, but they

Ok, it's taken me a while, but here's what seems to be the problem. In OSX I see a lock on the file. If that lock is ON, it disappears. But what is that lock and where did it come from.... Is it like a read only lock? On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 11:04 AM Curtis Vaughan <cavaughan at gmail.com> wrote: > Ok, here's what seems to be going on. When a JPG is put into a share it >

Im currently having a very long list of veto files, just to be sure that the people ONLY can write documents and styleshets. Is there any plan to have a "reverse veto files" to ONLY allow this type of file? Because when I have a lot of veto files the samba gets too slow, even if it dosen't use regex, with regex i would be able to do the reverse veto. But without regex and without

I have just started with Ruby and Rails and am still greatly confuse, finding the usual tutorials not much help. What I want to do is take two numbers from my database, multiply them together and display them in a list with a comma for the thousands separator. This would be very easy to do in a spreadsheet, so I assumed it would be easy to do in Ruby on Rails but I can''t work out how. I

When users create a file on this share, the files are created with permission's equal to 764 (rwxrw-r--). I want the permission's to be 760 (rwxrw----). How can I accomplish this for this share? Here is my .conf for the global and this share. My version of SAMBA is 3.0.20b-3 on openSUSE 10: Thanks in advance, Mike # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SCMC

I've recovered a load of messages from a different mail server without it's index file (it was corrupted). I now have thousands of messages which display in Outlook Express (yes, you may puke at this), all as today's date. However when I read them in Pine, the date of each message is displayed correctly, but they're in no particular order whatsoever. There are several

I found instructions on how to start 2 instances of samba binding each instance to an individual ip address or interface on the server but it will only start the first insatnce I try. /usr/sbin/smbd -s /etc/samba/smb.conf.DOMAIN1 /usr/sbin/nmbd -s /etc/samba/smb.conf.DOMAIN1 /usr/sbin/smbd -s /etc/samba/smb.conf.DOMAIN2 /usr/sbin/nmbd -s /etc/samba/smb.conf.DOMAIN2 Only the DOMAIN1 will start.

I'm working on the implementation of a high-performance financial trading simulation system. The simulations are CPU bound so faster is always better. I'm trying to determine the optimal architecture. So far, I'm very pleased with LLVM. I've been able to get our Basic-flavor scripting language for defining the simulation rules to perform at the equivalent of code that was written

We would like to provide a self-service restore function to our users using their IMAP client of choice.. Our idea was to use a snapshot (under ZFS, btrfs, whatever) and have it available to the user in a namespace. Unfortunately, but understandably, dovecot doesn't like the mdbox structure to be read-only. Is there any chance to change that? In the meantime, we could use a read-write

Has anyone had the home directories of some Windows 2000 users become inundated with thousands (15k or so) of directories all of a sudden? This is of course a samba share on the samba PDC. It really renders the H:\ pretty useless. It also seems to occur only if you are logged onto a certain machine. Is anyone aware of any causes? Certain software packages that maybe create odd directories in a

hi, i read about samba4wins, which is really a great work from the team! do you know, if this will work with samba v3.0.14a? i ask because a german news service writes that it?s only possible with 3.0.21 (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/69132), but i can?t find this information in the notes on http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4WINS/samba4wins-1.0.0-16/ thx for helping me! -- Michael

I''m working on a new rails project that will have a very, very large database. Initial insert will be in the hundreds of thousands of records. The database we are getting the information from is Microsoft SQL based, and we have access to tab delimited update files daily. We''re trying to write import scripts and use a well designed database on our end. The data they are

Hello, Is there an easy way to read a csv file with numeric values that contain thousands seperators. The file looks like this: Date;opening;High;Low;closing;Volume 12/02/08;4,764.95;4,897.62;4,729.13;4,895.31;- 13/02/08;4,868.02;4,927.81;4,833.85;4,898.60;- 14/02/08;4,942.18;4,962.43;4,877.88;4,895.99;- I want to get the numeric values as..., well, numeric values, and not as character strings.

Hi, Samba: samba-3.0.21 OS: OpenBSD I built a new WinXP (sp2 and fully updated) box with the the idea of making a Default User profile.

I had to reainstall my server and couldnt avoid upgrading samba. Before reinstalling, I had samba configured to let users browse their home folders from Windows PCs using their Unix system user/pass. Now, it is not possible, I have just managed to implement the same authentication system as before and give access to a public folder. The home folders remains invisible, if I set browseable = yes,
