Hi, When I try a net logon from Windows 7 64-bit Business (don't have any other Windows machines), I get "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed". The discussion I've found around the Web regarding this error message seems to be only in the context of the 30 day password expiry issue, where the solution is to simply rejoin the domain.

Hi All, If you would please suffer a Fedora Code 13 question on a CentOS mailing list, I have a Linux customer with Fedora Code 13 who loves it but is about to dump it because he really, really wants iTunes. (He owns an iPod and an iPhone.) None of the Linux utilities quite work right and he wants to buy music from the iTunes store as well. Plus he wants to synchronize his contacts list. So, I

I've having trouble getting XP SP2's to join a domain. Whenever I try to join, at the point I'm asked for a user name and password with permission to join the domain, I enter root and root's password, then get the dreaded "Unknown user or bad password" error message. The clients are a mixed bunch with some 98's, 1 Win2K, a few XP SP1 (I know, I know!, but

Hi All, Okay. Now I am confused. I have a bunch of virtual machines running under Virtual Box 3.2.12. I want to run them under KVM and drop Virtual Box from these systems. Supposedly "qemu-img convert" now supports direct conversion from vdi to whatever KVM uses. So I fired up the man page and got really confused. Then I fired up Google and got worse confused. Might I impose on

Hi All, I am confused. In one of the examples of a PDC, the following smb.conf parameter is given: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m -G users '%u' If you have "passdb backend = tdbsam" and the way to add users to "tdbsam" is "pdbedit -a -u username", what is the purpose of the "add user script"? I am thinking it is to add the user

Hi, I'm having problems trying to join my XPpro boxes to a Samba (2.2.7a) domain. I was able to get 1 XP box to join (the very first one) but the rest complain about a duplicate name on the network just after I enter the root/pw when joining the domain. None of the smb user names are in common with the machine names. The NT4 workstations have no problem joining the samba domain. All

Hello and Thanks in Advance, I've been at this for three days now and can't think of anything else to try. Been through the docs and #samba on openprojects and even begged for direction in #samba-technical who suggested writing here. On the ancient RedHat 5.2 server (SAMBA 1.9?) both boxes work OK and continue to work OK with both servers now up (new one is from Mandrake 8.2 - SAMBA

Hi All, What are guest cores in KVM? Are they fake, like everything else in the guest? Just another process running on the host emulating a core? Or are the guest cores actually connected directly to the physical cores on my motherboard? Many thanks, -T

Hi All, I am upgrading my samba server from a workgroup to PDC server. I am doing this to make a Windows 2008 Terminal server happy. Eventually there will be a bank of them (thank you Virtual Box). Anyway, in my test bed, I have a Samba PDC (newly updated to PDC), a Windows 2008 server, and XP-Pro-SP3. Both Windows machines are able to join the domain and log in as users only in the Samba

Hi All, I have been Googling my rear off. Where is the manual for KVM? It seems like the information is just all thrown about. Anyone know of a manual? A pdf? A home page with instructions? I am teachable (mostly). Many thanks, -T
