Hi, I have a question about samba3 internals. I want to know if samba does support what I call transactions (though I could be wrong) I need that a client either finish writing what it was meant to or not The problem is that I have a samba on a place where there is a very old accounting system writen in Cobol. Many instances of the program uses some kind of ISAM to access records in the samba

Just curious, maybe some old timers could help me out. I am working with a company that is migrating 20 years of Mainframe Software Development to Unix, HPUX. How much harder would it be to go to Linux, Centos Linux? Also, anyone have any experience with Fujitsu Cobol on Centos? The Fujitsu people only support Red Hat, and said I'd be on my own with Centos. In other words if it works,

Hi all I'm trying to use my Cobol aplication with Smba but i'm getting A LOT OF "OPEN" errors... lookslike system is (or isn't) looking files for read/write. Anybody had this problem? PS: this program isn't mine, it's just for my company made by third company.

Good day , some time I 've been having problems with samba and shared cobol files, the system freezes at random, and the only solution is to restart the samba service, or on some occasions restart the server , I tested with oplocks no results, smb.conf attached my settings. Thanks. [global] server string = %h server map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions =

Goldmine seems to a compiled database application compiled in something likeClipper. Clipper applications record lock through ISAM like files (DBF). However, in Windows NT/2000/XP, Opportunistic locking is turned on by default in order to accelerate file transfer from file services. [Windows 95/98 did not Opportunisticly lock] However, opportunistic locking corrupts ISAM and ISAM like

Hi folks, I''m looking for advice on how to promote RoR in my workplace. Specifically, I''d like to work out a strategy for promoting development in Rails as a new alternative to our existing technology (the usual suspects... mostly Java/Oracle, .NET, PHP, and a bit of Perl here and there). Some background: I work for a fairly large state environmental agency as a web developer.

Hi I have been searching for commands to "debug" netgroup membership. I am using netgroups provided by ldap. I can do a ldap query but it seems a bit unwieldy to do. I have found a package on ubuntu called ng-utils https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ng-utils/0.7-1 which does what I require and compiles very easily. It contains two commands netgroup and innetgr to query netgroup

Hi All, I have been Googling my head off but cannot find a method to stream edit all the images in a directory and to resize them. I have a large number of images of up to 3GB in size that I want to put in albums on a website, but before I do this I need to resize them to a more realistic configuration. I know how to do this manually with the GIMP but it becomes tedious for more than a few

I've a weird problem with Samba. I'm using Samba to share a filesystem between two linux systems because I believe I need byte range locking to prevent multiple processes on different computers from reading/writing the same ISAM records. I have a Debian wheezy file server running Samba; no domain controller, just a simple, single share. I have a debian wheezy KVM mounting a share via

I am configuring samba to connect 10 PCs with windows 95 and access data from a linux server. Most of the programs, even when they are DOS based programs that have been installed on linux and accessed from windows 95 seem to work fine. But when i try to run a cobol account application from Windows95 accessing data from linux, the program runs but a FILE SHARING VIOLATION MESSAGE appears on the

I have recently installed a SAMBA server on a LINUX server to be accessed by Windows 95 workstations. All other DOS based applications ran perfectly via samba but there's a COBOL accounting application I cannot make it run fine. Everytime I run it and try to execute any transaction, a COBOL SHARING VIOLATION error message appears on the screen and takes me back to the prompt. I have already

Hi! I'm manipulating XLSX data using RODBC, however a limitation which appears to be driver based is that you can't clear or drop sheets from the XLSX files, as per the following example: > library(RODBC) > xlsx<-odbcDriverConnect("DRIVER=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb);DBQ=c:\\documents and settings\\desktop\\testxlsx.xlsx; ReadOnly=False") >

Hi Guys, I am trying to set up a quick disaster recovery methodology for a client. It is supposed to work as follows:- All Data files , everything in /etc (except for a few hardware specific files such as fstab), all users .bashrc and .netrc files, all cron tables etc. is written to a DVD as a zipped tar file. A recovery script that unpacks this file, creates any directories required by the

Hi, I am a COBOL programmer and I am busy teaching myself Rails and Ruby. In COBOL I can code this conditional If x = 1 next sentence else .......................... The "next sentence" statement enables me to get out of the conditional. How would I code the same thing in Ruby? In C you could use break but I understand that Ruby has no break statement. Regards, Paul

Today I received an allocation of IP6 addresses for some servers. I can 'play' with the last 2 of the 8 IP6 address segments. I always thought, mistakenly, IP6 was 6 segments, because it was IP6. IP4 had 4 segments. However IP6 is actually IP version 6 and it has 8 segments. The other interesting discovers are: :: means one or more 0 segments, example :: can mean 0:0:0: or just 0:0: or

Hi, I am running a fully updated CentOS 4 box. Since the last few rounds of updates - upgrading to the latest Firefox, I find that I can not print Bank statements etc ( .ps files when saved to disk). The Bank's logo and any lines on the form print OK but the actual content is distorted beyond recognition - printing a series of special characters (!"$%&#'(") instead of

Hi, I am wondering, if there is any tool available, which performs a check for suspicious entries in the dialplan. For example a non existing AGI-Script or a double assigned extension ike that: [context] exten => *100*,1,AGI(test_app.pl) ... exten => 190,1,Answer() ... exten => *100*,1,AGI(never_reached.pl) ... A "normal dialplan reload command" would echo no warning or

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself, my company, and our upcoming use of LLVM. My name is John Reagan. I've been working on compilers and assemblers since 1983 (yes, 31 years). Most of that time was spent on compilers for VAX/VMS (later renamed to OpenVMS), then OpenVMS on Alpha, and OpenVMS on Itanium. I've also worked with the HP NonStop platform and was directly involved

Howdy, I am trying to run a Cobol Compiler through wine. I am running RH7.3 with a current wine release. My directory structure is /usr/share/wine-c/COBOL/. I have been successful in running other applications through wine, but not ones that require a PATH= entry. My problem is: it's looking for an entry in the PATH environment variable that includes 'C:\COBOL' which stores
