So, with the updated HAL, I'm now able to negotiate an IP address via DHCP over the WLAN. Huzzah! But I've got two questions (now that I can use the card): ath(4) doesn't contain a list of media nor mediaopt settings that can be used. Some are detailed down in EXAMPLES, but there's no comprehensive list. (As well, and this is minor, the speeds are explicitly listed for 802.11a

I tried updating the BIOS on my K8WE (S2895) yesterday to 1.03, but after the update, FreeBSD (RELENG_6 dated March 26) would randomly freeze after booting. As I was updating from v1.01, I suspect it may be the updates to the nVidia SATA firmware that caused the issue, as things generally froze shortly after the background fsck processed kicked in (with, obviously, the exception of the first

As others have noted, Tor's patch appears to be a total solution to the recent instability the PAE patch introduced. So, if you're experiencing panics with a recent kernel, or are in a position to stress a machine, please cvsup and give it a test!

Hi all, In continuing of previous problems, I've noticed some potential problems with force user / force group and Windows XP Professional. I'm not exactly sure why or how, but it appears that XP picks up the fact that it's being connected as the forced user (smbguest), and continues trying to authenticate to other services/shares as that user (smbugest). I'm not sure if this

I've just moved our current Samba installation to LDAP (to try to combat some other issues), and I've run into a large number of problems. One of them is that I'm quite new to LDAP. I've made our entries to be: organizationalPerson inetOrgPerson posixAccount sambaSamAccount I know that the 'Samba (v3) PDC LDAP howto' is out of date, and the Samba

We're in the midst of setting up a Samba 3 system as our PDC. I come from a Samba 2 world, where the passdb backend was smbpasswd. What's the ... er, 'best' passdb backend at this point? To qualify best, there's no limitations on the type of storage used (LDAP, MySQL, XML, etc). I'm just looking for something that's going to make integration with a 2000/XP domain

David gave me some suggestions to check out on the servers, but so far, its all drawing a blank ... I have two servers right now that are updated to recent 4.8-STABLE kernels ... one was June 22nd, and the other was upgraded June 20th ... both of them have crashed since that date, and both of them tell me that they are unable to produce a core file, with the same errors: Jun 26 04:27:14 jupiter

Hello, I am trying to setup a network of 5 XP computers with roaming profiles. I've got a profile set up on the server and I can log on. The problem is that the log in time takes about 10 mins and the log out takes just as long. Here is a link to the log file from the samba server. I have made comments on it to show what is happening on the terminal.

We run Samba on our internal LAN (about 20 workstations, mostly XP), and until last night, we were using 2.2.6. I've since updated to 3.0b1, hoping to fix some *very* strange XP weirdness we're seeing. The one XP Home client works just fine. But of the rest (all XP Pro), we get some erratic behaviour -- some people can't print, some people take ages to mount drives, and some people

Greetings all- I have a new X4200 that I''m getting ready to deploy. It has four 146 GB SAS drives. I''d like to setup the box for maximum redundancy on the data stored on these drives. Unfortunately, it looks like ZFS boot/root aren''t really options at this time. The LSI Logic controller in this box only supports either a RAID0 array with all four disks, or a RAID 1

We're in the midst of setting up some XP workstations and came across a rather large security problem... Essentially, when bob logs into a workstation (samba acting as the PDC), then alice logs onto the workstation, alice can peruse bob's [homes] share. Anyone know how I would go about disabling this? I'm at a complete loss -- the only thing I could think of was the Cached Logon

I've just found out that Samba (rather correctly) implements a nice and low password expiry date through the tdbsam backend, and I believe the "maximum password age" value. However, I can't, for the life of me, actually /set/ this thing. I've tried this: # pdbedit -u <username> -r -P "maximum password age" -C 100 And without the -r, and with various

We've just set up an internal domain, and had a single XP Pro machine join without any difficulties. But we need this machine (and the other handful with it) to use Roaming Profiles, which is posing something of a speed issue. I have logged on, killed the 'You do not own the profile' tidbit, fixed up permissions, and finally gotten XP to read the profile from the SAMBA server

I've been trying to get Platypus (the ISP billing software by Boardtown) working under wine on-and-off for the past couple of months. Last time I checked, there were some Visual FoxPro problems. Those have now been resolved, but I get an 'insufficient memory' error as soon as Plat tries to contact the SQL database. Has anyone gotten it to work under wine yet? Anything I should

I really don't know where to start on this one... We have an XP Pro workstation. The user on this workstation is, say, 'bob'. Earlier this year, bob would log in to his workstation with a different password than was on the Samba machine. I /think/ that's what's causing the problems, but I'm not sure. Anyhow, we had specifically mapped drives on bob's workstation

I've posted a couple of times about this problem. This is a plea for help with Roaming Profile configuration. The short problem is that logging on and logging off takes about ten minutes, with a fresh roaming profile (~1MB), on a 100Mb LAN. If anyone has any suggestions or pointers or questions, *please* pipe up. I'm all out of ideas.

My new PC has an internal 16-in-1 card reader connected via USB 2.0. The device is the Techsolo TCR-1640 (http://www.techsolo.de/product/cardreader/tcr_1640/index.php). I boot from a compact flash inserted in it and I can mount and unmount the same CF once the system has booted and has mounted the root partition from my graid3 array. The problem arise when I replace the inserted CF with another

Hi, everybody! I have 20 WinXP client machines and a sever running Samba (first try was with 2.2.8, now it's 3.0.0rc1). If it matters to someone (for statistics, fun or for understanding the problem), i use Slackware 9.0 Linux, kernel 2.4.20 on server (and clients are XPpro/SP1, buld 2600 as far as i remember). I almost had no problems configuring samba for browsing and fortunately i

Hello! I was trying to build OpenOffice using all of my 4 CPUs. To be able to do other work on the machine comfortably, I ran the build under nice, and assigned real-time priority to the two Xorg processes. The build started at about 23:10 last night, and hung at 23:46. The procstat output for the make's process group is: PID PPID PGID SID TSID THR LOGIN WCHAN EMUL
