Hi, I'm trying to read in a bunch of CSV files into R where many columns are coded like $111.11. When reading them in they are treated as factors. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to convert them into numeric in R (as I don't want to modify the source data)? I've done some searches and can't seem to find an easy way to do this. I apologise if this is a trivial

Hi, I've got a bunch of datasets (each has an "ID" column) that I'd like to merge into one big datasets. After a google search I found http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/08/11131.html . However, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do this as I've got about 12 datasets to be merged (all in the same format: an "ID" column and a "Frequency"

Hi all, I'm trying to draw a bubble plot over a map -- where the map shows local government areas (LGA) in Australia (or other structures under the Australian Standard Geographical Classification), but am not sure where I can find the data to plot such maps (e.g. draw the state of Northern Territory but also showing LGA divisions). Any help will be greatly appreciated, apologies if this is

I've been following the "R Reports" topic in the digest mode, so apologies if this has already been mentioned. On a Windows platform, there is a package called R2wd which I've recently discovered and have been using. It allows one to put data frames (it's the only object I've tried so far) into a very nicely Word formatted table. E.g in its documentation it has this

Hi all, I've been using the wdTable() function from R2wd package and it's been working great. However I just tried to do the following: > table.2 Waste Rebate code Chargeable (fin_map) Quantity (qty) Total [1,] "Waste" "Rebate code" "CHG" "121" "$22,534.01" [2,]

Hi, I like to know if anyone has ever gotten samba to work on Sun Solaris on a Novell Network. I don't have an issue with installation on Sun Solaris that works fine. But I've never put Samba on a Novell Network Before. Please describe any steps or issue with this. Phillip B. Bruce, Manager > kpmg Consulting > Network Engineering & Integration >

While reading various docs on Samba, there are notes that Samba can sync with other Samba WINS servers, but can not sync with a MS WINS server. Has anyone ever tried, and is there a reason why this doesn't work? ***************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Hello Ben Lindstrom, I tried your package creation scripts for Solaris which are contributed with the new OpenSSH Version 3.0.0p1. Nice that you develop these scripts but I run into a major problem installing the package which was created by the script. On our Solaris hosts /usr/local is only a symbolic link to /opt/local. After installing the OpenSSH package the symbolic link was removed and a

Hi all, Though this bug is an old one, it is still applicable to at least Red Hat 4.0 on Intel and ALPHA, and probably other distributions. It may even extend to other Unix implementations as well, although we have not tested them (at all or thoroughly). Create a user with user id 65536. When logging in as this user, running the id command will yield root (in other words, there are only 16 bits

Hi all, I've just set up password encryption using 1.9.18p4. I compiled with NO ALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD option because compilation didn't work (I'm using HP-UX 10.20). Everything seems to be working correctly instead of a 'normal' user trying to change his (samba-) password using smbpasswd (root can change any password). The messages I receive are as follows: Old SMB password:

Let me explain: When I dial into Asterisk ( I have a SIP trunk - which I need to make sure is not faulty), I only get one-way voice communication. The calling party, from the SIP trunk hears nothing - the extension rings on the Asterisk server (you can see it in the CLI and hear it at the computer), and the softphone rings However, when you answer the SIP softphone , you can only hear the

Hello, I am interested in using open-ssh to be able to start a command on one server and broadcast it out to a lot of servers ( > 100). I'm getting errors about being out of entropy, and they seem to be coming from the client side. Is there anything that I can do to increase the entropy beforehand? I'm not currently using the entropy gathering daemon, am using the internal entropy.

Hi, I have installed Samba 2.2.7 and winbind on RedHat 9 and it seems to be working. However because of the size of our Windows 2000 forest winbind queries the local WINS server and then a vast number of domain controllers (so the log tells me) for user credentials. This causes the server to hang for 30+ seconds. Setting a specific "password server" or "allow trusted domains =

Hi All, I am new to the job of System Administrator and even newer to SAMBA. I have managed to set up SAMBA on Solaris so that from a Windows 95 machine I can map a drive to a point on the Unix machine. This works fine. What I am stuck at is an issue of security. I have been asked to work out how to limit the users that can access the mapped drive. ie., if someone walks into the office
