Hi, what would be the shortest and fastest way to clone a e.g. basic Centos 5 guest for further use? For example I'd like to set up a master Mysql-server as a guest an than "clone" two additional slaves. Which xen configfiles may be edited? Can the config and the filesystem simply be copied? Thanks for suggestions! Regards G?tz -- G?tz Reinicke IT Koordinator Tel. +49 7141

Hi, we do have a Voiceboxserver which forward recorded avi messages to the mailserver account of users. I'v tested it for my account 10 minutes ago and everything works. Some users don't get the messages shown up in there mailclient while the logs show a delivery of that mail. May be some mail caches are messed up? We use Thunderbird 2 and the users concerned use imap. Where may I

Hi, recently we upgraded a central RHEL 5 fileserver to the latest RH EL 5.1 rpms, including samba. (samba-3.0.23c-2.el5.2 update to samba-3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4) Now some users have the problem, that opening a word or excel file saved on a samba share takes up to 30 seconds. Today I could verify this on the users desktop XP PC. This problem occures only from time to time, so it may be also a

Hello G?tz, could you do a closer look at your smbd (maybe with truss or strace) to see what exactly happens? or maybe it would be enough to watch traffic between your client and server (and traffic between your server and nameserver, domaincotroler (if involved)) best regards, chris -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces+christian.masopust=siemens.com@lists.samba.org

HI, I recently upgraded an wu-imap server to dovecot dovecot-0.99.11-1.FC3.3 without big trouble (the subscribed mailboxes had to be added by hand...) But today users told me that there where some problems; e.g. a user tried to delete a message and got this error: Oct 19 09:43:13 mail imap(jmeinken): File isn't in mbox format: /home/mitarbeiter/jmeinken//Trash This didn't happen

Hi, we have a strange problem: two of our users informed me, that they aren't able to send word-.doc-files anymore while othe attachements work fine.

Hi, I have one server in a DMZ with an public IP. The three-leged-shorewall is configured using proxy arp, to access this server from the internet and the local network. That works for e.g. http... From the server I can ssh to the firewall or ftp to the internet, but I can''t ssh or ftp into the local network. (may be there is something wrong with the routes...?) I don''t

Hi, I have one user who should be able to _view_ all open files and connections on a samba server. He should not be allowed to login to the server by telnet or ssh to use smbstatus, nore should he be able to use swat as long as he could view the configfile. So my question: is there a way to configure swat for one user to only view the opened connections? Or dose someone has an other idea?

Hi, after the update from wu-imap to dovecot, opening e-mails on the imap server seems slower than with wu-imap. I haven't measured any speed yet, but clicking on a message in a folder takes sometimes a couple of seconds to open the mail. Any ideas or performance tips or information you need?

Hi folks, I installed a new samba-PDC-server (dual athlon, raid,...) with Redhat 9++ and samba 2.2.8a from rawhide. I copied all (?) configfiles (/etc/samba/*) from my old server an adjusted some shares.

Hi, we run a samba 2.2.8 server and like to migrate to a faster, new server running samba 3.0.2a. I thought to copy all files from the old to the new one mounting the new shares by nfs. For a test I copied some files using scp. A problem concernes the german umlauts: on the old server they aren't displayed if I "ls" the files while browsing the share works fine. If I copy the

Hi, is it possible, to configure one physical samba server to listen on multiple NICs? I have two subnetworks to which I'd like to connect my samba server, but I dont want both networks to "see" each other, so the server should not be a router. The Clients in both networks should see the same serverstructure (Users, Shares,...) Thanks for any hints and tips! cu... ...G?tz --
