Hi, I run a Centos 5.8 samba server which uses a separate LDAP centos 6.3 server for user and group authentication. Now we migrate to a new centos 6.3 samba server and I'd like to know how do 'ldapify' that new server the best way. I'm a bit confused if I can use the same nss setup like on the current old server or how and what to configure to go with SSSD? May be someone can

Hi! i have a problem with iotop : root at alien: ~ # iotop Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/iotop", line 16, in ? main() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 567, in main main_loop() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 557, in <lambda> main_loop = lambda: run_iotop(options) File

I'd like to run a CLI broadband speed tester on my CentOS server. I downloaded "tespeed" from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/>. This ran fine under Fedora-19, but failed under CentOS with the message "# reject large message", although from a quick look at the source it did not seem to be using a large test-file. Does anyone know of an alternative CLI

Hello, I have a CentOS4 install and I am trying to mount a Windows Server 2008 folder. When I use this command: mount -t cifs //10.1.1.17/Org/MR\ Ops/ test, it only mounts the Org folder. When I try the same thing on a newer computer (Fedora 15), it mounts all the way to MR Ops. So I am pretty sure that my cifs file needs to be updated, but I am having a really hard time doing this. I updated

Hi all, I issued the commands on a single disk system: with two partitions / is linux sda1 and /home is sda3 yum -y update yum -y install e4fsprogs reboot umount /home tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda3 e2fsck -yfDC0 /dev/sda3 That worked just fine.

Good afternoon/morning/evening everyone, I've been running into the problem of clients using Windows 7 with CentOS 5.X and file/printer sharing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the stand samba-3.0.33-x.x.x packages DO NOT provide compatibility with Windows Vista/7. I've had to manually compile samba from source or use the samba3x packages to fix the problem. Just wondering if we're

Hi guys, any CUPS / Samba experts out there? The CUPS printing guide is a horrendous maze of options. I've got nearly there but I've got one thing wrong and I don't know where to look. I set up our two printers (HP K5400s) using the GUI printer tool. Both print the test page just fine. I set up the [printers] and [print$] shares and can browse to the printers from Windows (XP for me)

So, the more I look at various ways to lay out my infrastructure, the more I am thinking about specs for hardware. Starting with firewalling. How does one determine the specs for a firewall? What I mean is: 1. motherboard/CPU - p4? Dual-Core? Intel i3, i5, i7? 2. RAM? 4gb? 8gb? More? 32gb? 3. Obviously GB Nics! I am bring about 300gb of traffic a month right now and I expect that to

Though I've worked with enterprise systems, I'm not familiar with FOOS backup software. Which of those recommended would allow me to backup a system while users are active on it? If it matters the system uses LVM. I'd also like to be able to avoid needing the network if possible. That is, I'd plug in a disk into a USB port and backup the system onto that... again, while

Hi all. I have two servers 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5PAE CentOS release 5.7 (Final) Both have two external gigabit network cards (installed Planet with Realtek r8169 chipset). lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I'm running a headless server, so no GUI, just ssh logins. I don't seem to have the mechanism that automounts USB drives to a subdirectory of /media, and from googling around I think that's a feature of a GUI-based system. What implements it? Right now I manually create a mountpoint in /mnt and then manually mount by label from /dev/disk/by-label after plugging the drive in. It

Dear all May be this question asked earlier in list but i didn't able to search exact . I have samba+ldap domain setup on RHEL 5.1 and samba version is 3.0.28.

There is a critical update for samba for centos-5.8 ... we are working on CentOS-5.8 right now and I fully expect it to be released in a week or less. For those of you who can not wait for a week, here is the samba critical update: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/c58-samba/x8664/critical/ http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/c58-samba/i386/critical/ These may or may not work without the rest of

My customer has a Centos Linux 5.10 server running Samba 3. (Samba version 3.0.33-3.40.el5_10) The machine is about three years old. I suggested that they should consider replacing it with a Centos 6 machine and Samba 4, but they decided as it was doing its job without any issues to keep it as is. I also suggested updating to samba3x but they decided not to do this. I recently installed a centos

Hi, Situation: I'm seeing lots (~500k per day) of log entries like: smbd[13939]: itlab-pc06 (::ffff:10.51.51.103) couldn't find service it261 In this case, the last character of the request is truncated - it should be it2610 I'm seeing the same/similar issue to http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-March/147277.html I've dismissed this over the last few weeks as a minor

Hi All, We have a problem, which is that several of our users are local admins on their own workstations. We'd like to let them retain these rights, but we're switching to a PDC. Is there a way to have them authenticate to the domain, and as a regular user, but on the Windows workstation have full control? What's the best solution for this? I obviously don't want to make them

hi! we seem to have a weird problem with our samba server and i hope somebody can point me in the right direction to find the cause of this problem setup: smbAT02:~# uname -a Linux smbAT02 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Dec 22 20:43:59 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux .) the OS is debian stable (etch) .) samba version is 3.0.24-6etch9 .) the server has 8GB of RAM, 2 quad core intel cpus, about 1.5 TB of

Hi, recently I got my samba/ldap/pdc setup up and running with xp clients. Server: centos 5.5, openldap-2.3.43-12 and samba3x-3.3.8. The new challenge: adding Windows 7 Clients and upgrading to samba 3.3.x I followed a posting from the centos forum (1) which worked so far for the samba update breaking nothing for xp. Than I installed a windows 7 client with the latest patches, changed the

Hi all About 18 months ago I connected 14 new Windows 7 PCs to a Centos5.1 server with samba3x as domain members. There are no other servers on site. Today, I had to visit to connect up a PC in a new location. As I would normally do I checked for Centos updates and found 35 outstanding including samba3x 3.6.23-12.el5_11 and samba3x-client, samba3x-common, samba3x-doc, samba3x-domainjoin-gui,

I am running centos 5.5 using samba3x as a pdc. I migrated to samba3x so that I could join Windows 7 machines to the domain. It is a new setup using a tried and true configuration from a different box. I have used this configuration in the past to joing Windows XP Pro machines. And I havn't found anyting helpful on the error with google. I can ping the server name and the server can ping
