I make EXTENSIVE use of that functionality. I missed

The command below is run as a cronjob and it works great. rsync -avu --rsh "ssh -l root" root@servername:/var/lib/mysql/backups/ /backups/mysql/ We have a new server that will replace the old server that rsync pulls backups from. On the system that is running rsync, I switched the servername in the command above to the new

Greetings! I've got a samba server that's serving Windows and Mac clients. I want to restrict the [homes] share such that users can *only* connect to their own home directory, and not make read-only connections to other people's home directories.

We have a new server running Red Hat 5.2EL. Windows machines can samba to the linux server with no problems, including symbolic links to the www directory.

These same MAC computers can samba to the www directory via a symbolic

It is described in the smb.conf manpage, but briefly if you try to connect to a share called 'username' and samba knows nothing about a share called 'username' it checks if there is a user called 'username'. If this user exists, it obtains the users Unix homedir and uses this

I note that tcpdump apparently shows that it is trying to negotiate an old protocol - I can see the decode of the Win98 traffic, but not W2K. It fails on the routine that does the get next share name. Basically with W2K, smbclient -L won't show

Hey list, Recently I've gotten my Samba PDC to successfully use an OpenLDAP backend, while using the smbk5pwd and ppolicy overlays for OpenLDAP. However, Samba appears to incorrectly handle responses from LDAP's ppolicy overlay, even though it very clearly receives them.
