Hello, could somebody to comment PR bin/51148? It is suggestion how to pass a value of cache size to pwd_mkdb when we are doing vipw or such. It can give a greate speed-up when master.passwd is really big (and sometimes it is). Appropriate cache size can make process 10 to 100 or more times faster. I gave the results of measurements in that problem report. Thanks in advance! SY, Alex

Hello all, I was using Samba 2.2.5 on a Linux machine as a PDC and it was working fine. But know I installed FreeBSD 4.7 in this machine and installed Samba 2.2.6pre2. It's still working as a PDC, but I can't add machine trust accounts because FreeBSD doesn't accept $ in its usernames. How should I do now? Thanks in advance.

I'm setting up a new install of samba 2.2.7a on FreeBSD 4.7 Here's a little run-through of what I have done. I added a machine account in /etc/group as follows: machines:*:201 I have added all of my machine accounts in to /etc/passwd as follows: sclepy$:*:201:201::0:0:Machine account for Sclepy:/dev/null:false lexus$:*:202:201::0:0:Machine

According to "man ndis", I need in kernel config options NDISAPI device ndis device wlan which I have: device wlan # 802.11 support options NDISAPI # This is in the hope of enabling Hiro USB wireless adapter device

Hi. Only indirectly related to zfs. I need to test diskusage/performance on zfs shared via nfs. I have installed nevada b64a. Historically uid/gid for user www has been 16/16 but when I try to add uid/gid www via smc with the value 16 I''m not allowed to do so. I''m coming from a FreeBSD backgroup. Here I alter uid using vipw and edit /etc/group afterwards. -- regards Claus

Hello, Sorry to be a pest, but I need to try to get some clarification of how the machine name works when setting up a machine account on the Samba server. The Samba How-To page http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html#id2536400 talks about the "common error" of including the $ in the machine name on the server machine. However, all of the

Hello BSDers, I'm running Apache in a chroot jail with suPHP. It needs an /etc/ passwd in the chroot so that suPHP can setuid to the owner of the PHP script, but there's nothing that requires the passwords to be valid. Does anyone have a script strips passwords out of master.passwd, sets all shells to nologin, etc and writes it to the chroot etc dir? I've looked around but

I've got a possibly silly question and I believe I have an answer, but I want to see if what I think is the answer is feasible. I've had to rebuild a mail server from scratch, upgrading from 4.6-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE in the process. The other mail server had crashed, with disk errors so sever it wouldn't fsck clean. I was able to get it together enough to pull my configuration files

Hello, For some reason, I thought little about the "clear" command today.. Let's say a privileged user (root) logs on, edit a sensitive file (e.g, a file containing a password, running vipw, etc) .. then runs clear and logout. Then anyone can press the scroll-lock command, scroll back up and read the sensitive information.. Isn't "clear" ment to clear the

I modified a users name on my system. From ABCLast, to ALast (used as an example). I modified the username, then the group name of the user (to align with the new name), and then I moved the users home directory from /home/ABCLast, to /home/ALast. Then using vipw, edited the home directory to use /home/ALast. When I got finished editing the passwd file, I got the following message: You have

Hello,   I have an OMAP5910 OSK board with C55 dsp and ARM9 processor. I just want to use speex as a simple application on the platform in order to check dsp's working well or not.   First, I found speex's source codes include "ti/speex_C55_test" directory so I thought speex could run on my platform well. Second, I open "Code Composer

Hi Sorry if it's not 100% appropriate for this list, cannot think of better place to find people with lots of know-how from Unix and Windows. I'm currently working on replacing EMC's Celerra file servers by Linux/Samba. The SID to UID/GID mapping table on Celerra is very large, ~50'000 entries and I don't want to pollute my LDAP server with all this (using winbind with LDAP

Hello everyone, First of all...sorry for this monster post, but I have tried to insert every potentially useful information. :) The last days I vainly tried to implement a samba server with MySQL authentication on one of our servers (Debian 2.6.27.5). The server shall provide fileshare services to some Mac clients (OS 10.4.11). Mail is already running with pam_mysql auth against the mail user

The wine concept--a compatibility layer that allows running executables compiled for Windows on a Linux or Unix host--is a very useful concept that could reasonably be used to adapt between other platforms. It's somewhere between running a virtual machine and cross-compiling the application. Is there anything similar for other (non-Windows) guest platforms? Right now, I'm specifically

Due to FreeBSD not allowing '$' in usernames, and because I have to add a machine account for each computer I add to my Samba domain, what can I do to try and accomplish the following? 1. Automate FreeBSD to allow me to add machines to a domain the same way Windows lets you do it from the workstation. 2. Add user accounts which incorporate '$' without having to create a

Hello I've installed Fedora Core 3 (Test 3, kernel 2.6.8x), with Samba 3.0.8 and OpenLDAP 2.2.13 . I've smb.conf, slapd.conf, ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, nsswith.conf almost same as described on Idealx site. I've very strange thing. If I add user ( for this operation I use smbldap-tools), I can log on by this user at my unix host (for example by ssh), I can logon by this user

Dear All, Sorry if this question has been posted before but there's no enough answer to solved my problem and I'm going crazy because of it....:( I'm currently installed Samba-2.2.8a as logon server on My FreeBSD 5.0. For Win 9.X client there's no problem at all. But when I tried to joining W2K client into samba domain it's shown an error message such as : "the
