similar to: Please translate M$ speak: create a new organizational unit

Environment is Samba as a PDC, OpenLDAP backend, with smbldap-tools providing the scripts to manipulate the data. What are the recommended/mandated organizational units (OU=) for user, computer, group info. I'm pretty sure that groups go in ou=Groups, but I am confused about where user and computer data goes. I have seen ou=People, ou=Computers, and ou=Users in various places. Which is it

Hello. I apologize for my English, I am still learning. How do I create an organizational unit (OU) via command in Samba4? I've researched very samba-tool and found nothing on the subject. Thank you. ? Atte, Johnata Tagliavini

Hi All, If you would please suffer a Fedora Code 13 question on a CentOS mailing list, I have a Linux customer with Fedora Code 13 who loves it but is about to dump it because he really, really wants iTunes. (He owns an iPod and an iPhone.) None of the Linux utilities quite work right and he wants to buy music from the iTunes store as well. Plus he wants to synchronize his contacts list. So, I

I am running samba 3.0.10-1.4E on Red Hat using winbind to allow windows users to authenticate nfs shares. The problem I am having is with the UID mappings of Active Directory users. When I run the command "getent passwd" not only am I getting users, I am also getting computer objects. This is using all of the allocated idmap uids. I can increase the number, but I am looking at entries

Hello, Is there a way to create an OU (in the AD sence) from Unix with the samba tools ? I have made a script that create all my users and groups (for a school). But I still need to create the OUs manually from windows with RSAT. Thanks. Baptiste.

Hi All, Okay. Now I am confused. I have a bunch of virtual machines running under Virtual Box 3.2.12. I want to run them under KVM and drop Virtual Box from these systems. Supposedly "qemu-img convert" now supports direct conversion from vdi to whatever KVM uses. So I fired up the man page and got really confused. Then I fired up Google and got worse confused. Might I impose on

Hi All, I am confused. In one of the examples of a PDC, the following smb.conf parameter is given: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m -G users '%u' If you have "passdb backend = tdbsam" and the way to add users to "tdbsam" is "pdbedit -a -u username", what is the purpose of the "add user script"? I am thinking it is to add the user

Hi All, What are guest cores in KVM? Are they fake, like everything else in the guest? Just another process running on the host emulating a core? Or are the guest cores actually connected directly to the physical cores on my motherboard? Many thanks, -T

Hi All, I am upgrading my samba server from a workgroup to PDC server. I am doing this to make a Windows 2008 Terminal server happy. Eventually there will be a bank of them (thank you Virtual Box). Anyway, in my test bed, I have a Samba PDC (newly updated to PDC), a Windows 2008 server, and XP-Pro-SP3. Both Windows machines are able to join the domain and log in as users only in the Samba

Hi All, Just a bit of PDC confusion on my part. 1) I do not give machine names a password. Am I correct? 2) I am presuming that machine names are used to limit what machine user names can have access to to the samba server. If Foo has an smb username and computer A has a machine name, but computer B does not, then Foo can enter only through computer A. Am I correct? 3) If I am correct on #2

Hello, I am working on migrating from OpenLDAP using the inetOrgPerson schema to Samba4. I would like to continue to provide backwards compatibility with our existing authentication service. In OpenLDAP, users are all contained inside the People organizational unit and referenced by uid, for example: dn: uid=myuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com When using samba-tool to add a user, it places the

Hi, I have a series of MS word files and each file contains plain text. From these texts I would like to extract only those elements (read: words) that are between square brackets. Example of a text: Most fundamentally, it has led to an effort to clarify the organizational form concept.

For organizational purposes, I would like to create subdirectories in my apps/model/ directory. Is there any easy way to do this while still having the ability to refer to the derived active record class models? I.e. apps/models/blog/post.rb: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base ... end Post.new ...
