I'm looking for a simple solution to log a single entry for each login to a Samba PDC. My current attempt(s) of using a root prexec script in either the [netlogon] share definition or the [global] section are working, but not exactly as expected. In [netlogon] I have an entry: root preexec = /path/to/script/makelogonscript.pl %g %u %m %I ...where makelogonscript.pl generates a

I have a client who used to have an NT server, we replaced it with Gentoo Linux and Samba v3.0.9 and they are now having what appears to be some sort of file-sharing issue with Excel. When a user opens an Excel file on the file server it opens properly, no errors or warnings of any kind. But when they try to save the file, Excel warns them that "the file may have changed by someone

I have an issue I'd like to resolve with a client and the print spool icon in the systray... If the user (on w2k) mouses over the print spool icon, it tells them "xxx jobs in queue" or some such, and the xxx increments once for each new print job they send. Also, the print spool icon never disappears from the systray until a reboot, or re-login. Once a job is sent to one of the

Sorry for such a long post as my first to the list, but in an effort to forego a long back and forth question/answer session via email, I think if I post all the information that I currently have someone may be able to more quickly spot my issue. The server in question is a Gentoo server running Samba 3.0.11. The basic problem is that when person A opens an AutoCad file, person B is unable to

Hello everyone. I recently created a set of external scripts for the Xymon Networking Monitor system to monitor and graph AC input voltage, AC output voltage, battery charge %, battery voltage, and UPS Load % of UPSes managed by the Network UPS tools (NUT) suite. The scripts make use of the "upsc" program to poll the upsd daemon and report the information back to the Xymon server for

Using nut v2.2.2, and the APC serial cable. I have a client who's APC SMART-UPS 1500 (circa 2000) is always reporting LB. The batteries were old so they were replaced two weeks ago with brand new batteries. UPS still reported low batteries... I ran a calibration and a test on the unit (using the nut upscmd utility) During those tests, the battery charge on the unit goes to zero and slowly

I'm having some problems with Nitrobit Group Policy that appear to be Samba-related. (Nitrobit is a software product that lets you use AD-style Group Policies on a Samba domain. It stores your policies in a Samba share then processes them at startup just as an AD GPO would be processed.) I've run into numerous failures with various portions of the GPs over the last few days, and the

Hi All, I have the following questions: We have some folders / shares where we store for example only .doc files. But some users also saves the .jpg files in this share. We don't want this and we wondered if we can block saving .jpg files with samba. Is there an option to set in smb.conf so we can block the saving of .jpg files? Second one: Some users saves the .doc files for example as

Hi colleagues I am trying to implement security for my network with samba, I am using poledit, but it has very few choices, I am using nitrobit group policy, but this needs a serial, and I do not have it.

List, Thanks tremendously to JC and JHT for guiding (nay, kicking) me toward getting ACLs to work on RHAS3. Reading the RH sysadmin guide about ACLs and searching elsewhere, as well as thinking for myself, were also a pre.

Heya, I'm a trainer for Red Hat, preparing to teach a course on nifty directory services, and have been doing a little research on related matters. I stumbled upon last weeks thread re: group policy on Linux / Samba machines and thought you folks might be interested in the following. A company called Nitrobit has a group policy implementation that works in conjunction with Samba and any

Hello SYSLINUX folks, thanks for all your hard work over the years! I'm working on a fairly complex deployment services project, and one of the aspects of it is to make it possible to federate deployment services across our university.

Hi everyone, I want to plot a 3D interpolation of the concentration of aquatic organisms. My goal would be to have the result represented as clouds with a density proportional to the abundance of organisms, so that I could fly (well, swim actually ;) ) through the scene and see the patches here and there.
