In general it is good idea to place something into open URL I think that's what he wanted you to look at.

I object to this sort of crap. Hidden, no reason for an *IX desktop to be forced to ignore or deal with this crap. Anybody else seeing it? In case attachments aren't allowed in the list, here's the Dropbox url for the image. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2p2ki7t2rwi5ot/FreeDeskTop_Org_Orwell_1984.png?dl=0 I believe this relates to an earlier thread in which someone questioned what that

<rant> I run a small consulting service and work with both individuals and (very) small businesses. The objective of my consulting business is to help average people move to Linux when they decide that they have had enough of the M$ money wheel and endless malware infections. Not one individual who belongs to that class of users cares how Uniix/Linux works, how it does updates or how

I changed the entries in smb4.conf (smb.conf) to this: [global] . . . dns update command = /usr/local/sbin/samba_dnsupdate nsupdate command = /usr/local/bin/samba-nsupdate -d -g And this is what results when I run: samba_dnsupdate --verbose -d8 --all-names . . . update(nsupdate): SRV _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.ForestDnsZones.brockley.harte-lyne.ca

This is all the diagnostic information I can think of at the moment: [root at smb4-1 ~ (master)]# klist Credentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0 Principal: administrator at BROCKLEY.HARTE-LYNE.CA Issued Expires Principal Jul 2 10:35:11 2020 Jul 2 20:35:11 2020 krbtgt/BROCKLEY.HARTE-LYNE.CA at BROCKLEY.HARTE-LYNE.CA [root at smb4-1 ~ (master)]# grep nsup
