Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hello everyone, again: I have not received any single message from you regarding the changes in 3.0.21 - maybe that's why no one responed? Maybe the message simply did not get through? I asked again in Bugzilla to re-send that message, but I still received no message (but thanks to Volker the code works again). So, what changes are you proposing for 3.0.22 that will render the pdb_mysql module unusable? And why are you introducing such changes into the stable tree, so that every now and then a fix for the modules is important? Please shed a light, I really don't know what's going on at the moment... :-) Can the MySQL bug (#3369) have something to do with the changes you introduced or is this something different that exists longer?

Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi, Bugzilla is good for individual issues. The samba-technical ml is best for interaction with other Samba developers (like Jeremy & Volker). I'll subscribe to this and see how much traffic it is. :-) Sounds like a good plan. If testing resources become an issue, let me know and I'll try to work out a better solution for you. I have three terminal servers (i.e., XP SP2 machines with RDP open) and SSH access to our PDC to test. However, I can't give anyone else access as it is a restricted network.

Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi Jerry, He's already on it :-) :-) This really boils down to a communication problem. Developers are expected to subscribe to both the samba-cvs and the samba-technical lists. The samba-pdbsql alias is really only intended for use in bugzilla (default owner of pdb_sql component). Okay, that makes sense. Filip, Darrell, will you subscribe to this lists? I could, too, but I guess as a non-developer I can't do much with this... :-) A simple small test server running the SAMBA_3_0 tree (updated every few days or so). That way, when something in the pdb*sql modules break, whether intentionally or not, you will know immediately. Filip already told he can set up two test servers, so that should work. Currently, I have one production machine which I can test new releases of the module on in the evening (it's in a school, thus no users after 6 or 7 pm). Will see if I can re-activate two old machines in-house and test there as well. Filip, if you want, you can give me RDP and SSH access so I can debug on your machines as well. But that's not necessary (RDP is insecure). Filip, you and I should stay in closer contact. I'll try to remember to ping you when there is any relevant developments that I think you should be aware of. Thanks for that offer, Jerry! I really appreciate all your (all Samba developers) work in this matter! I know you don't really want this module as it's not so widely used, so I appreciate your support even more! Thanks! :-) Could you please ping the whole pdbsql "list" when something new happens? (Or, at least, write to me as well.) Thanks!

Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi Jeremy, It seems so, I'm sorry if that's the case. I did try and notify people so this would not break. no problem, the most important thing to me is that we can find a solution that everyone is happy with. It's not important now, what's more important is ensuring that the SQL modules are maintained going forward. Agreed. Volker (and others) are making passdb backend changes. You need to keep testing it with the SQL module as these changes are made to make sure it keeps working. No one else is testing it so the interface is fragile. Testing the interface is no problem. My problem, however, is fixing bugs or changing/adapting functionality. (See below) Haven't reviewed that bug - we need someone who will do that (review the bugs) and maintain the module - no matter what gets done. Of course the maintainer also gets to argue and complain and *help* design the passdb changes :-). I use the pdb_mysql module in an environment with about 100 clients and 1.500 users. We have a self-written web interface, and Samba and the web interface are based on the pdb_mysql module. However, I am no programmer, so I need your help. I can test, debug and act as a contact person, however, I need someone supporting me as a developer, as I can't code a single line. :-) Do you see any chance in this?

It makes (automated) manipulation to the user database easier for us. For example we need to adjust the database with an external one regulary. And maintaining LDAP (we were using it with Samba 2) was quite difficult. It might also be a personal preference since I am familiar with (My)SQL. After all i want to stay with MySQL now.

I think we don't have to discuss the circumstances (e.g. logrotate, maintainance) under which the connection to the db server might drop. So I think there is really a need to implement this. If there is no maintainance at the moment (I read in bugzilla there was again) or nobody is willing to fix this I might give it a try myself getting familiar with the backend and trying to implement handling of dropped connections. -- Mario Lipinski VOIP: +49 511 696045510 SystemadministrationFax: +49 721 151-207196 Gymnasium Salzgitter-BadE-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.gymszbad.de signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
