similar to: xen - 4 concurrent virtual DomU limitation - how to increae this? (centos 5 x86_64)

We have a few win9x workstations, that have spurious login problems. They get the message: No domain server was available to validate your password you may not be able to gain access to some network resources. The passwords are definetly correct and the problem will sometimes disappear after 5 - 10 retries, but almost always after a full restart of the win9x PC, very occasionally it takes as

Hi All, Is there a way (speak command/wsh script) that allows a win9x workstation that is logged into a samba domain server (running onlinux for example) to see from the workstation what owner a certain file or directory has? Under win2k the "dir /q" command does this adequately. And if this is possible, is it then possible for someone to change the ownership of a file to another

I much regret in many ways having to ask this question below. But our business needs now demand more than we think we can deliver using open source software exclusively. What is the best way to 'suck up' all of the domain group and user data from a current samba 3.0.21a PDC into a microsoft windows 2003 server? We have two basic needs that demand we now introduce active directory servers

Samba admins, I have stumbled across a FREE & interesting utility that allows one to create Policy Templates straight from an registry export "*.reg" (unicode or ansi), thank you Yizhar Hurwitz. http://www.new-ofek.co.il/yizhar/ Hope somebody else finds this usefull too. Urs Rau PS: Now if anybody knows of a unix commandline util/script that creates both User and Machine

Sorry to those of you that have received duplicates of my messages over the easter weekend. I had subscribed to the nntp server of my isp (pipex uk) and searched for "samba" it showed a few hits but "gmane.network.samba.general" showed as containing no posts but "mailing.unix.samba" showed a bit more than 20'000 so I subscribed to that and sent a slurr of

Does the following setup have any chance of ever working without to many problems? Our mix of ~ 40 workstations (win98se & xp pro) get the home drive mapped in the netlogon script when connecting into the domain for win9x net use h: \\linux\homes for win xp net use h: \\linux\homes /persistent:no relevant sections of our redhat 7.3 w/ samba 2.2.8 smb.conf are: [global] ;; server name

On win XP Pro workstations it would be so convenient if the domain logon script which is stored on the samba pdc could be made to run with Administrative (or System) privileges. I know that I can interactively run another security context by choosing "run as user" but how could I achieve this non-interactively and domain wide whilst a "limited account" is loggin in? Thanks

You could do what we do - just replace the local machine policies each time you rev the policy set. They're stored in c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy. Using gpscript.exe (Google for it, don't have a specific site) you can dump the contents of either registry.pol file to text. You can also recombine textfiles back into a .pol file, and subsequently rev the gpt.ini file so your new .pol

I am using 3.0.13 and have temporarily run out of disk space on the main samba server, so I have NFS mounted some space from another machine. into a directory that is accessible under samba. When I try to save directly from ms word 2003 sp1 (and same from word 2000) it tells me: on the win98se and win xp pro sp2 clients: "Microsoft Office Word" Word cannot complete the save due to

I have a need to renumber some of my /etc/group numbers from below 100 to a value that is above 500. (e.g 88 -> 535, 91 -> 632, etc etc, about 9 changes in total) If I had to do this in an earlier version of samba then I think the correct files I would have to keep in sync would be /etc/group and /etc/samba/smbpasswd, simply changing the gid from the value below 100 to it's new value

Hi folks, Is there any software metering hints and tricks that people could give me? We would like to implement something that woudl allow us to only allow a limited number of concurrent connections to some programs in samba shares. Please don't be afraid to respond back with the obvious answers as I seem to miss them. Urs RAU

I am trying to use 'wpkg' omn win xp sp2 machine, a windows package installer service, to access shares on my domain server. 'Wpkg' is running as a local service on a windows xp box that is joined to a domain, and I would like this local 'wpkg' service that is running with local systems rights to access files on a samba domain share. I have played with a number of options

I have a problem I can't quite explain. My samba 1.9.8p10 is running happily on redhat 5.1. This weekend we had the start of "British Summer Time" which is the daylight saving time here in Britain. My linux server adjusted the time automatically and I was happy. Also my win95 workstations told me that the time information had changed. I double checked the time on linux and it

For historic reasons we have a DOMAIN name of 'WORKGROUP' on our one server only samba PDC. Now that we have upgradced to 3.0.25 We would like to change this to something more sensible, but are concerned what the consequences will be for the Win XP Pro workstations that are currently joined to this domain. which of the following scenarios will we likely face after the change? scenario

Does anybody have any ideas on this? On our server that has been running 'rock-solid' with no crashes we have now had 3 kernel panics that each appear to have been triggered by the newly upgraded samba daemon. We used to run samba 3.0.21a for 'years' with no crashes. On May 26 we upgraded to 3.0.25 June 9 10:58:28 first crash kernel panic process involved according to log

Sorry for the repeat. The PRESS statistic is defined as sum(y-yhat(i))^2, where yhat(i) denotes the ith predicted value using all the data except the ith case (as used typically in linear models).

Urs & Mike, If you install the NT server tools for Win9x from off the NT server CDROM - I think you can probably download these also - this gives you the explorer shell extension. It gives your a security-permission/ownership dialog. This will probably work for Win95 now but I'm not too sure. I know that in the last couple of days the user manager app for 95 will now work correctly.

All, I've spent quite a few hours trying to figure this out to no avail... I have two machines and the result is the same on both. Additionally, each machine does not support full hardware virtualization... I am able to create 8 VMs. When attempting to create ninth VM, I get the following error: Error: Device 51712 (vbd) could not be connected. /etc/xen/scripts/block failed; error

I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart). For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22. When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies. I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID. But why are these even related? When I do: rpm -q --requires mysql neither exim or mdadm is

Is there a way to list the packages that are in a "base" install, but that are not in a "nobase" (core) install? I did a nobase install, then ran "yum groupinstall Base", but this just lists everything in base, including the core packages. Mainly, I'm just looking to audit the packages, and add only necessary ones back to a nobase install. So far, I've
