Samba 2.0.5a dislikes Windows 2000 2.0.7 OK

2000-09-13 Thread Carpenter, Dean
Dang it.  I have a nice stable slink system here, been running for a looong
time, rock solid.  NT 4.0 clients access it via samba 2.0.5a, and everything
works.

Well, we're in the process of pushing out Winders 2000 ... which won't talk
to 2.0.5a.  I have several other machines, potato and woody installs.  2.0.7
works with win2k just fine.

Any ideas just what the problem is with 2.0.5a ?  Is it fixable/configurable
?
How tough is it to get 2.0.7 running on a standard slink system ?

Don't forget that there are a lot of firewalls (ANS Interlock in
particular) out there that require logging in first.  Passive mode won't
work.  That is, you ftp to the firewall, log in, and finally do a 

user [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That gives you a connection to the remote site which then prompts for
the password.

Yick.

 dselect, this

  Some people can't use dselect's ftp method, firewalls and so on.
 
 Unless the firewall doesn't allow ANY ftp at all, the ftp method
 supports
 passive mode.

Findutils and Cron package minor changes needed

1998-04-20 Thread Carpenter, Dean
In the findutils package, /etc/updatedb.conf could use a small addition.
Add /var/spool/news and /var/spool/squid to the PRUNEPATHS variable.

In the cron package, /etc/checksecurity.conf needs the same.
Add on /var/spool/news | on /var/spool/squid to the CS_DIRS variable.

I don't know whether those changes should be in those two packages or in
the inn and squid packages, but without them the scripts run for a
*long* time on large systems.
