similar to: Windows patching from Linux samba server?

A user wants to time a command/program/application and ensure the full contents of that command's data management has been flushed from RAM/cache and saved to disk. Is there a way to ensure the cache/RAM is flushed to disk, or is the flushing a function of the kernel or the application? This happens to be on a 64-bit Intel system with 64-bit CentOS 5, fully patched. But even if the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Does anyone have a good suggestion for patching XP clients on a Samba PDC domain? I've tried using autoit and sysinternal's psexec to write a script to do this but this doesn't work well because the computer has to be active and our machines lock the machine if it's not active in 15 minutes. I hate having to log onto every

Hello, I am trying to change over from bind9 to internal dns. For some reason I keep getting the following error: Error parsing DNS data from '/opt/samba/private/dns/TH01.INET.zone' () I have inspected TH01.INET.ZONE but I could not find an error. I do not understand this error message. I am hoping someone could help me with this issue please. Your help will be very much appreciated.

Hello, First of all I would like to thank the Samba Project Group for this state of the art software. I would like to thank every body for helping each other out. Please ignore my poor English writing. It is not my native language. Although: I do the best I can. We use Samba for a while now. We started with version 4.0.6 and updated each time. Now we are at version 4.0.9 and we are planning to

On an unpatched Centos 4.4 system I chmod'd /usr/bin/sudo to ug+s, and set the filesystem in /etc/fstab to defaults,nosetuid. Reboot, and am told sudo needs to be set to setuid root. An ls -l shows rwsrws-- root root sudo I had to use a rescue CD to undo /etc/fstab for the filesystem partition so sudo would work. What am I missing? Thanks. Scott

I have a client with a handful of USB drives connected to a CentOS box. I am charged with binding the USB drives together into a single LVM for a cheap storage data pool (10 x 1 TB usb drives = 10 TB cheap storage in a single mount point). The next fun piece is how to incorporate that storage space into an existing Active Directory structure to apply AD acls for limited access. I'd rather

Hi, I was just wondering there if there is anything/setup to make a Samba 3/4 PDC to fetch MS Windows Updates from the Microsoft website and push it to the clients. Some thing Like WSUS? If it is not already th ere is there any plans to add this functionality to Samba? I am wondering how updates are done on Windows Machines under a Samba domain. The data transfer multiplies with the no. of

A month ago I mentioned on this list work on a automated package deployment tool for Windows systems, which is server agnostic. At the time, I didn't have the time to put it up in a place for public consumption. I do now. The utility is named wpkg (punny isn't it?) It's nothing more than a simple .js (jscript) file which needs to be run on Windows, from a directory containing three

I just switched gcc from 4.6.2 to 4.7.1 and see the massive amount of warnings, see few examples below. They mostly didn't exist with gcc-4.6.2. rev.159224 Yuri /usr/home/yuri/llvm-2012-06/latest-unpatched/llvm-fix/include/llvm/ADT/PointerUnion.h:56:10: warning: enumeral mismatch in conditional expression:

You can join a Windows Server to a Samba4 Domain controller and set up the WSUS server role and it should work. HOWEVER, if you are going to point all your devices at the WSUS server, you will require CALs for the devices or the users using them to maintain licensing compliance with Microsoft. At this point, you have paid for the number of Windows Server CALs you need to run actual Active

Hello! It is possible to have a WSUS with Samba 4? Thanks

http://fatooh.org/esfq-2.6/ http://fatooh.org/esfq-2.6/esfq-2.6.12-rc1.tar.gz This version no longer interferes with the original SFQ; unlike previous versions, you can still use an unpatched tc with SFQ. Patching tc is still needed for ESFQ, though. I''ve tested this patch with Linux 2.6.11 as well. Please tell me if you have any problems. I''m subscribed to lartc again. -Corey

If I set up a room of Win XP Pro w/SP2 systems, hardened via local policy and gpedit.msc, and add them to a samba domain running from an unpatched, out-of-box install of RHEL 5.0, how will the local XP policies differ from any changes I make to pdbedit on the Samba side? Which takes priority/preference? Thanks. Scott

Suppose I have a CentOS 5.7 machine running the default Apache with no extra modules enabled, and with the "yum-updatesd" service running to pull down and install updates as soon as they become available from the repository. (Assume further the password is strong, etc.) On the other hand, suppose that as the admin, I'm not subscribed to any security alert mailing lists which send

Hello, 1) when compiling the lustre modules for the server the ./configure script behaves a bit odd. The --enable-server option is silently ignored when the kernel is not 100% patched. Unfortunatly the build works for the server, but during the mount the error message claims about a missing "lustre" module which is loaded and running. What is really missing are the ldiskfs et al

Hi, Here is the refreshed version of the multi-page ring patch for blkfront and blkback. I currently don''t have time to refresh the blktap part of the patch.
