I recently took over maintenance of a linux computer which is drawing power from a "Maruson Power Net 1500" UPS. However, there is currently no monitoring or control of the UPS by this (or any other) computer. Can nut control this device? There are serial, usb, and EPO connectors on the back of the unit. (There may be a manual but I'm going to have to hunt for it.) Thanks, David

I am trying to automate W7 joining to our Samba domain. It works fine through the Windows GUI from the W7 workstations. However, for a script one would have to store password used for domain access, and since that is the server's root password, I really don't want to hard code that into a file. Is there a way to set (temporarily) a Samba server so that it will accept (admin/anything) as

Setting up nut on a system where an LVM volume holds the root filesystem.. What is the appropriate device form to use with "mdadm --readonly" in halt? This is on a CentOS 5 system. So far I have found three possibilities, but I do not know which one (if any) will still be valid that late in the halt procedure: 1. /dev/md0 (from posts on the net) 2.

Help please, a file server was upgraded from: Mandriva 2007.1, Samba 3.0.24-2.7mdv2007.1 to Mandriva 2008.1, Samba 3.0.28a-2.1mdv2008.1 and it broke something badly. After the upgrade logins from all XP workstations broke - some of the time. For an existing account (one with a profile already in the home directory) sometimes it will login normally. Well, almost normally, it never seems

Yesterday I migrated a Samba server from one machine running Samba 3.0.13 (on Mandrake 10.0) to another running 3.0.20-3 (on Mandriva 2006). The contents of: /etc/samba/* (all the .conf files) /usr/local/samba/private/* (secrets.pdb, smbpasswd) were moved intact from one machine to the other, as was all of the user data. I even checked md5sums - no changes to any of the samba files. Then

Thanks to Drew Vonada-Smith the roaming profiles are working again. The problem was that information stored in

Well this is even more interesting. Parts of the profile are not being saved back to the server, at least for existing users. For instance, 1. login 2. change the start menu to "classic view" 3. rearrange the desktop 4. logout 5. login again start menu is back as it was and it isn't classic view any more. Very strange. Wipe the test profile on the server and the copy on the

After doing some system work, including upgrading the Samba server to 3.0.28a from 3.0.24, upgrading the kernel to 2.6.24, and changing the firewall rulesk, the XP workstations which belong to that domain, the right click "run as ..." option is slow to bring up a dialog. The phenotype is this: right click some program (for instance, a shortcut to the "command prompt")

I have a couple of Windows Vista Computers that i freshly (re)installed, updated to SP2 + all updates, and joined to my domain... i also got an empty profile on the server (the storage folder is there, but there are no files inside) When i log into the domain Windows creates all files and folders just fine and stores a cache of that profile in c:\users\username (like it should), And when i log

Upgraded a Samba server from 3.0.28a-2 to 3.4.7-0.2. Initially the XP workstations could not log on (not finding machine account) then discovered a new "passdb" variable, so added to smb.conf: passdb backend = smbpasswd and also changed all browseable -> browsable. Restarted the server. Domain logins worked. Test files saved to desktop are retained between logins (are stored in

Somebody please forward this, if this is not an appropiate place to ask the OpenSSH developers for a new feature. As many of us have seen, any sshd left open on the internet eventually becomes the target of password guessing attacks. I am aware of tools for scanning the security logs, and manipulating iptables to block ongoing attacks, but I am not aware of a way to configure sshd itself to

All, Is there any way of telling which machine is doing what job? i.e. Domain Controller, local master, wins server etc. I have two machines and two workgroups but they both appear on the same workgroup. I think it is something to do with which machine is doing what. I think machine1 is acting as Domain Controller & Master Browser for workgroup1 and Machine2 is loosing all the browse

Hi everybody, i've been using ultravnc viewer from long time without any problem. Starting from wine-1.2-rc2 when i'm connected to a vnc server i cannot close anymore the viewer window and when I try to close the window it sends an ALT+F4 to the application running in the vnc server !! With wine until version 1.2-rc1 the viewer windows close as expected. In console there are no messages

Hi, I just compiled wine 0.9.43 on Fedora 8 Test 1. UltraVNC previously worked OK but after installing 0.9.43 when I start the app the inside of the client viewer app is black, and when I select it my entire screen goes black until I tab out of it. I've done a clean reboot and reinstalled UltraVNC but again the same problem. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I've gone back to 0.9.42

Hi all, first a lot of thanks to all the Xen developers ;) Currently I''m displaying Windows XP by using VNC. I''ve got both ''vnc=1'' in my Xen config file and an "UltraVNC server" running inside the Windows XP HVM. (but I usually only connect to the UltraVNC server). I''m not a VNC guru... Is it possible to somehow have a Windows XP system

I'm using Lubuntu 11.10 and installed VNC4SERVER to let me open remote desktop sessions from a Windows machine using Ultravnc viewer. I can use GTK2 apps without problems, but I'm getting this when I try to run WINE apps: fixme:ole:OleLoadPictureEx (0xd25114,3782,0,{7bf80980-bf32-101a-8bbb-00aa00300cab},x=0,y=0,f=0,0x32fa50), partially implemented. fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_SaveAsFile

I recently ran into a situation where a Samba upgrade apparently broke the machine records in the smbpasswd file, with the resulting symptom that domain logons on those computers would fail about 95% of the time. (A very strange symptom, how it worked sometimes is still a mystery to me.) Similarly, this would fail: % smbclient -L saf01 -U 'saf/mathog%(password)' session setup failed:

Dovecot 2.0.13 on a 64 bit linux. We have an archiver account on one machine. Most mailing lists that handles go directly to it and everything is fine. However, there is one campus list that will only send to real people. So for that one I subscribed. When one of these messages comes in, which is 1-2x per week, I copy it to an export folder and then manually run a script which does: cat

We're running an older version of Samba on an Irix machine, and just got 2.0.2 working (finally!) on our Intel/Linux box. The odd thing, is that findsmb gives different results on the two systms. On Irix it lists the NetBIOS names with OS descriptions, but on Linux it lists the IP name and no OS description. I went through it line by line and found the first difference at: ../nmblookup -r
