Hi, I have come to my wits end again (lately, it's a very short trip). I have been trying to connect to Samba 3.0.21b but Windows keeps throwing up the logon dialog. I'm using "Map network drive" to try to mount this share. It seems the problem is only on the Windows side since I have tested the connection through the Unix account. Both user id and password work fine.

i'm looking for an answer to the problem WIN98/samba-connection. It shows the same failure as shown by WinNT unless the change of Registry to EnablePlainPasswd. Is there an answer where the entry "EnablePlainPasswd" should be by WIN98? Enable encryoptedPasswd in smb.conf brought no solution. Thanks an many greetings Lothar M?hlbauer Lothar.Muehlbauer@iiv.de

Christian, Sorry I don't think I was so clear with my explaination of what I am doing. Your requirement flac -> mp3 is really a special case of ripping, if you think of the entire chain.... normal ripping: CD -> wav -> mp3 Your case is [CD -> wav ->] flac -> wav -> mp3 Which is equivalent to: flac -> wav -> mp3 I need this too and am proposing to use a ripping

I hope I am not too far of topic. I have hacked FLAC support into rip, a command line (perl based) CD ripper/encoder/tagger. http://sourceforge.net/projects/rip/ The maintainer is checking over the patch and should get back to me next week. Shall I: 1. Go away and leave this list alone 2. Come back and tell you if/when the patch is approved 3. Explain what I am on about 4. Send the patch

OK, I have managed to get software RAID 1 running on my wonderful Proliant server but now have two challenges: 1) Fresh after an OS install and reboot, the RAID array starts to do its stuff but straight away (as part of the boot messages) I am told that the second disk is 'not ready for command' and the system hangs as soon as resyncing starts. I think this is fixed by adding an hdparm

Hi all, I have a working KVM system managed with virsh and virt-install. I am currently playing with ruby-libvirt-0.1.0. I am wanting to build a simple sinatra/ruby app to show the VE's on a node and their state. I have ruby 1.8.5 on CentOS 5.4. I have the basics of it worked out but am a little stuck. Is there a way of retrieving a list of all VM's on a host using

A friend has an old Pentium-133 laptop with 32MB of memory and a 1.3 GB hard disk that he wants to use as a web server for a very small community. Will CentOS (or any other RHEL derived distribution for that matter) install and run with acceptable performance on such a system, or will a specialized distribution like Damn Small Linux be a better choice? In this case, disk space is not a big

Anyone know of one? Is that O'Reilly book good? I need to get my fetchmail setup with some good filtering in procmail pronto and I can't remember how to set it up and compose the recipes properly. I'm willing to just buy a book at this point to make the spam and unwanted emails go away. Any advice or direction is appreciated. Of course I'll Google, but I was hoping someone

I want to mirror an existing 40GB data only drive using software Raid1 on my new CentOS 4 server. The existing drive is connected to a Promise Ultra 100 TX2 controller (non-raid). I have read about mdadm and understand how to create the Raid1 on /dev/mdxx devices. However I would like to know if the existing data on the orignal 40GB drive in the system will be destroyed when I create the raid with

I have just installed centos 4 on a spare box - working great. Until now, I have been using Fedora Core3. I wish to move all of my mail, address book and bookmarks created in Thunderbird and Firefox from the Fedora system to the new Centos system. Would someone kindly point me in the right direction, I am relatively new at linux. Many thanks for any assistance. christian

Hello all! I would like to know if is possible to use LILO as the boot loader instead of the default GRUB. My question comes because I tried to run lilo command but the message "command not found" appear. It sounds like my only boot loader option in CentOS is GRUB ??. I found lilo.conf.anaconda, but not the lilo command. From already thanks. Regards, Juan P. Espino

Just a quick question, Does anybody know of a good DNS server with MySQL backend? We're currently looking at MyDNS. Has anybody had any experience with MyDNS or other MySQL driven DNS servers under heavy load? Also, can anybody recommend a good DNS benchmarking utility? Thanks for your help, Bob.

Does someone have an example mkisofs command with arguments to create a CD from the files on the CentOS CD? Since we are building servers, all the data is on CentOS4 CD1. I plan to modify it to include a kickstart file and remove some of the things on there that I don't need. I use something like this on the Cobalt Networks servers, need mods to work on CentOS.

Anyone know how centos is actually pronounced? When people I work with ask me which linux I run, I say it like the word scent - oh - s, with a sharp S on the end. How's everyone else say it? How's it supposed to be said?

Afternoon, I recently upgraded a machine to CentOS 4.0 and it has two sound cards: built-in VIA, Cmedia PCI card. The OS recognizes both and I can use the tool, system-config-soundcard to test them. However, I can't seem to get any sound out of the VIA card, but the Cmedia plays the test sound just fine. The problem is that I can't get any sound apps to use the Cmedia card,

I've found discussion about this in list archives, but no final answers. Many helpfull people wrote in the past how to avoid creating DVD (install from network, install from disk, boot this way, boot that way). But, I do need DVD, no way around it. No network, no USB, no floppy, no anything. Placing files on hard drive not an option. Just a DVD-ROM. By Googling around, I found some
