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.

Hello, I've got a friend who publishes his site via dreamweaver. He connects to his site via a samba share and opens and saves files. Now the sites have tempoarily relocated. I'm wanting him to still be able to access his site files with his dreamweaver over the internet. Is this doable with either samba, directly through dreamweaver, or something else? This needs to be as simple

Hi all I am trying to get windows AD logins to work with Fedora 8/9 linux.I had the same setup working well with fedora 7 , but with fedora 8/9 the problem is whenever I do "getent passwd 'username'" the login shell is listed as /bin/false and users cannot login , even though I have set it to use template shell= /bin/bash in the smb.conf configuration file. Also I have made

Hi all, I'm having trouble joining samba to active directory. My samba version is 3.0.28a-35 and krb is 1.6.1-17.el5. It's running on centos 5, kernel version 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5. It's running on vmware server by the way if that is of any significance. The specific error that I get are as follows: when testjoining the domain: [2008/03/18 04:34:07, 0]

Hi all, I am having some fun with traffic shaping, and have run into an interesting situation. Here is South Africa, most internet links are heavily oversubscribed, which means that in most cases the local link is _not_ the bottleneck, and shaping on the local link does not help that much... Does anybody have some tips on shaping such links? How can you get interractive traffic if you

Hi; ? I would like to use a samba configuration with : ? dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab kerberos method = system keytab security = ADS ? But when I test the configuration (testparm) I have the following error msg : ?

I think it's a sad sign when the mailing list is more about how to manage access to the wiki than actually managing contributions and the content. I don't really have any confidence that centos wants a vibrant community. The recent change list at http://wiki.centos.org/RecentChanges isn't really a good sign. Sorry, but I felt if I simply unsubscribed and disappeared quietly, I'd

I wrote this abomination just now, and wonder if anyone else has had experience with the pattern behind it. In short, I''m specing an after_create hook on an ActiveRecord model, that calls a bunch of private methods. Instead of stubbing all those private methods (which is verboten anyway, as well as impossible because creating the object which owns those methods is what I''m

Thanks to all of you who are answering my dumb questions about my new CentOS instgallation. I modified /etc/hosts, as the hostname man page seemed to suggest, and rebooted. The hostname is still localhost. I want to change it to jjb-centos. I also want to change the domain name to abilitiessoft.com Thanks, John -- John J.

I have a RHEL 6.3 machine successfully bound to AD using winbind, and commands like wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g output the users and groups. I can also log in as any AD user. The problem is, I can log on as any AD user. require_membership_of is being ignored. I can put in a valid group with no spaces in the name, a group by SID, and either way, everyone can log in. I've put this option in both

Hi guys, I have a strange problem. I can authenticate a user with wbinfo from my domain controller (security =3D ads), however when I try and map a share, the authentication fails. i.e. # wbinfo -a 'COAL+bcanglo%bcpass' plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication succeeded # smbclient '\\xxxxxxx\timtest' -U 'COAL\bcanglo'

hi, I am trying to set up dovecot with digest-md5 as authentication mechanism and openldap as passdb. My problem is ... that I just can't get it working. PLAIN authentication works as expected, but no luck with digest-md5. An excerpt from the two configuration files: dovecot.conf: --------CUT-------- auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 auth_userdb = ldap

I'd previously had dovecot running on a Debian server but recently migrated to Suse. The nice, simple setup for dovecot on debian is not as easy using the dovecot sources. My lack of experience I'm afraid! I'd like to continue to use dovecot, especially as my current maildir directories are all set up ready to be use again. On suse (sles9) I have users authenticating by LDAP. In

hi, For some of our customers we provide a pop3 access, and after an upgrade to alpha3, it is not working anymore. All of our data is ldap based and everything is working as before for our IMAP customers, but our POP3 users fail. Obviously the pop3 login process does not read the data correctly that comes from ldap. after enabling mail_debug, I saw the following error in our log:

Hello, I am developing a Java application that requires me to read from and write to a samba share. When developing in a windows environment this was not a problem. I mounted the share as "M:/", built a path to a file, checked if the file exists using the Java function file.exists(), and went on my merry way. Now I am developing in a Linux environment(SuSE 10). I mount the samba
