Jeremy.
just requires some special consideration.  I still install through 
apt-get install, and it works flawlessly.  it's much like a lot of 
driver packages where you still have to compile them to make them work, 
it just does it auto-magically.

Re: [Samba] Code? or Test Pattern?

Hi Volker.

The response became late.


Why is it necessary to use old Samba? Size? License?


Yes, a license is a thing which must be GPLv2.
Although modification is contained in the source code (source code of
GPLv3) after "3.0x", it cannot use on the problem of a license.

Thanks for the reply.  Maybe I haven't made myself clear in the first
post.  I'm not asking for any help relating to FreeRadius; I just want
to get basic Samba working properly.  Share browsing via guest access
works, and I get a number of other successes from other tests, but I
can't seem to get login using AD username working, neither locally nor
via SSH.

To get integration with a native Windows 2003 AD domain, I was to
understand I needed Kerberos; was that wrong?  Maybe I've complicated
things a bit here.

As to the login problem: I'm using OpenSSH on Cygwin on my Win7 PC, and
it doesn't matter if I try:

ssh servername
ssh user@servername
ssh domain\user@servername
ssh 'u...@my.domain.name'@servername

They all return the same things in /var/log/messages:

I think your personal definition of "production ready" is very different
from that of most folks WRT their production servers.  Case in point,
from:  http://zfsonlinux.org/faq.html

"The ZFS code can be modified to build as a CDDL licensed kernel module
which is not distributed as part of the Linux kernel. This makes a
Native ZFS on Linux implementation possible if you are willing to
download and build it yourself."

Carefully note the last sentence.  Most SAs aren't going to be
comfortable with such a situation, for many glaringly obvious reasons.
As long as it's tied to the CDDL, requires manual installation, and has
no support from distros (RedHat/SuSE), ZFS Linux will never be
production ready, at least not for the majority.

ZFSonLinux is very nearly production ready, and I'm preparing to deploy 
it soon on a home server.  Just a few minor niceties missing for now, 
but all the essential features are in place, and the bugs are only 
trickling in and nothing major's come up in a while.


I'd certainly not trust it to a ~100TB multi server multi SAN 
environment yet, but soon~  zvol has been there from zfs for a while, so 
if you want xfs on ZFS in your environment, that's the closest I'd trust 
it in production yet.

I would like some of the ZFS/BTRFS or GFS2 advantages but hey on a UPS, XFS
just works and it is proven.

You mentioned xfs as a very well supported FS and we later were

compliant with "XFS is very well supported and one can rely on this
code"...
