Hi, I have a server that have an aplication that runs on RH7.3 and in Centos 2.1 Currently, it runs RH7.3 with yum updates from fedora-legacy My question is, should I update to Centos 2.1 or stay in RH7.3?

Hi all, I can see the RH7.3 linux box I've configured with the latest Redhat RPM samba package in the Windows 2000 network neighbourhood, but when I double click the W2000 computer icon I get the message "\\Linuxbox is not accessible, The network path was not found." The network is a small switched lan, sadly with only one unix box (RH7.3) and a mixture of Windows2000 and 98

Sirs, We've just successfully upgraded our samba server from 2.0 to 3.0. Access from windows clients and linux clients particularly RH7.3 and RH9.0 has no problem accessing the files and saving them.

Dear List, I hope someone could give me some explanation about above error/problem I got. I have 2 machines, one installed RH7.3 (IP ADDR. =10.1.45.12, host name = fk0000-msi-srv) and the other one, Mandrake8.2. (IP ADDR. = 10.1.45.13) Both machines use Samba 2.2.3a.

Hi, RH7.3, Samba 2.2.8a, Win2KSP4 clients... I was just wondering, I know I can have a logon script based on a machine name, on a group, a username, etc., but am I able to actually have a combination of the above? I would like to have a standard group logon script (which I currently do have), but I would also like an extra script to run if they log on to particular machines under my domain...

I tried to install the latest bacula last night, rebuilding from the source rpm ... this is the command line I used, following the instructions at bacula.org: # rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_centos4 1" \ --define "build_x86_64 1" --define "build_mysql4 1" bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm but the rebuild fails, citing all sorts of dependencies being required. problem

Apologies if there is a cleanly written and searchable FAQ that I could be directed to. I have no problem to RTFM if I can find the FM... Does Asterisk currently operate under RH9? I have IBM Netfinity 4000R servers that do not support X windows under RH8.x and I prefer not to go back to RH7.3... BTW, where would I find a useful FM? David -- David J. Sussman, MBA email:

Well, I've asked a couple times already but I will ask one more, since I still havent' managed to get any further. We have several sites. Each site has it's own network and domain. We are connected via a WAN. Is the best practice to have one WINS server for each site? Or is a single WINS server for the WAN the way to go? Right now I have a single WINS server for the WAN. I CAN NOT

You folks are the greatest. Rolled out my first Samba "member server" today. Read the stuff from SWAT, and it worked the first time on RH7.3, after it failed on RH8 You folks are the best, we're struggling to stay afloat and M$ squeezes us for more.
