How can I have both server-side and client-side symlinks? Server-side symlinks are needed for example when what appears to the user to be a single mounted directory is actually tens of little pieces tied together by symlinks. Having those symlinks coalesces many mounts that would all have to be perfect in parallel into a single mount that's either fully successful or not. Client-side

My original has Posix ACLs (they work fine, that's not the issue). I screwed up my backup by forgetting to copy the ACLs. But now my backup isn't right and I want to fix it. Using the right `rsync` with the right parameter isn't enough to fix the problem. Even the right `rsync` sees this as "no change" and doesn't copy anything (since the file contents haven't

I very much appreciate the help thus far, but I think it has strayed a bit from the actual problem. The problem is that when I join a system to the samba domain it creates /some/ but not all of the required attributes for the computer account. The process then fails as samba looks in the wrong part of my directory server. I would strongly prefer to put the workstation accounts in their own tree

How exactly do Samba 3.x and ACLs interrelate? With the mount parameter I've turned on ACLs on the whole filesystem that Samba has various pointers into (including all the home directories and the netlogon). I started out naively assuming that the *nix uidNumber/gidNumber Samba mapped the end user to would behave exactly the same whether they were a Samba user or were logged on locally. But

Can I set up a *second* server as a BDC yet still have all my file-share requests routed to the *first* server? In other words can I have *two* domain controllers but only *one* file share? If I can, what's the rough sketch of the configuration I want? My short-term goal is to not have any Microsoft software in the back room so as to avoid paying the Gates tax. (My long-term goal is in a few

When I try to execute `net rpc group` it asks "Password:", then no matter what I enter it's always wrong. (I suspect this means I skipped a whole section of installation I shouldn't have.) So far I haven't found an answer in the HOWTO; I must be looking in the wrong spot. Where _should_ I start looking? thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You

I experienced the following problem with an apparent permissions Catch-22 where there's no "root" user to bootstrap from with Samba-LDAP, and found several other people experienced it too. I eventually figured out why a few people are plagued by this problem while most have never seen it, and I solved it. For everyone else who experiences a similar problem, the explanation and

Hi all, Everything was working fine with my samba server, until two days ago, when the clients started to say "domain is not available" when we tried to login. Looking at nmbd.log I found some errors but have no idea how to fix them...It has worked perfectly for almost two years... Does anyone have an idea? Thanks, Lo•c Etienne ------------------------------------ Logfile:

Hallo, from time to time some of our users delete files. But none of them do confess that they have deleted the file. I want to find at the samba logs which user has deleted the file. I´m using the audit-vfs module but there are only messages about opening and closing of files. Can anybody give me a hint for using samba logs to find the users I´m searching for? Thanks in advance Peter

I make a recycle bin as follow: config-file = /etc/samba/recycle.conf vfs object = recycle recycle:subdir_mode = 0770 recycle:keeptree = Yes recycle:repository = Recycle Bin recycle:versions = Yes recycle:directory_mode = 0770 But testparm shows: Unknown parameter encounter: "config-file" Ignoring unknown parameter "config-file" What could be the problem and the solution?

Hi, We would like to mount a Linux server running samba using a cifs mount from a linux client (linux->linux) and still be able to access the extended attributes. Acl's work on the native filesystem, however when we mount the samba server on the Linux client using mount -t cifs //localhost/test test -o username=xxx Then the extended attributes are no longer visible, only the default

I have been playing with rsync for several weeks now, and this is the first time I have encountered this problem. Rsync is including files that haven't been updated since the last sync. In fact, it's sending every file in the folder even if it has not been updated. The current options I am using are -v -rl -e, what is causing this to happen? -- View this message in context:

I have a really basic question (I think). We have two boxes connected to a lan segment on a hub. One is a Windows box running "Show Traffic", the other is a CentOS 5 Linux box running "ntop". Both boxes should be able to sniff all of the traffic on that hub (not a switch). The Windows box does just fine, Show Traffic is able to display traffic destined for other boxes

Hi, i have been using shorewall for 3 months, and shorewall was working well, but i don''t know why, when I type "shorewall start" o "shorewall restart", it says that. I have two files of rules: The first: DNS/ACCEPT net:208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220 The second: DNS/ACCEPT net:208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220 HTTP/ACCEPT net:www.google.com,mail.google.com,...

Hello Chuck! I have 128kbit/s for 70 computers and if several users start several FTP/HTTP/Torrent downloads (or one downloads with several threads) or also open several htmlpages with big content, for other users remain not very much. As i hear Squid make traffic shaping on IPaddress base and in my scenario every user will work in equal borders (as another) for all his connections.

After setting up Samba to work with an FDS LDAP server: http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Samba ... I see that the samba password hashes are shown with a simple ldapsearch command. If you scroll to the bottom of the page linked above and see the search results for: ldapsearch -x -Z '(uid=testuser)' You will see the hashes: sambaLMPassword: CFA95C51F11AB11DC2265B23734E0DAC

Hallo, on a school server in the neighbourhood Samba 3.0.22 (only SMB server, "security = server") serves many Windows2000/XP clients in their classrooms. The last lesson on a friday ends at 13:35, then the pupils shut down the clients and leave the room.

Hello, Not exactly samba but related to ntfs acls, so hope do not get flamed! Recently I am seeing a response to get security descriptor query to Windows server as Malformed Packet in wireshark trace and the number of aces in the dacl in big endian format. I thought all the data over the wire was in little endian format! I have seen this on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Have not

Hi Friends, I am currently using Samba on Centos 4.4 as a domain member of AD 2003 with each user having a quota of 2GB(no of users is around 2,000). Now the management wants to increase the quota to 10GB with this there will be more than 20TB of data to be backup weekly which will take lots of hours. Currently Veritas backup software is used to backup data on tapes. There is a concept of

Hi, I do not know how to post in general again, however my csv contains around 5-250k data Points depending on vehicle/road type and pressure exerted on geotechnical structures. I have used R to develope histograms of said csv files and will attach such Picture to you in this mail and the csv used. Below I will type the R code I have used for this histogram.
