[expert] Question with postfix
I have several SNF firewalls that I maintain at different locations and would like to process log alerts and have them mailed to me or to my pager. What would be the ramifications if I would install postfix on the firewall as far as weakening the security on the firewalls? Carl Lindgren C. R.

Re: [expert] Samba user logging in getting root user rights
This is caused by adding the user to the "admin users =" line in the smb.conf file. If you remove the user from this line you won't see this message anymore. However, all this is doing is giving the user full permissions to that shared directory but not with the system as if the user was logging on at the console. With some programs like ACT!, Outlook (*.pst files) or other databases, this line should be added as they won't work or work better with the "admin users =" line added. Also, with some Domain configurations and Domain Controllers you will have to add this line and state the users that need permission to access the share, as users will not be able to connect to the share without it (the cause of this is something I never fully understood). You do not want to add the user to the "admin users =" line on the [global] section this would give the user full permissions over all shares (myself, I do not use this line, even for System Administrators). >>snip - smb.conf - man page >> admin users (S) This is a list of users who will be granted administrative privileges on the share. This means that they will do all file operations as the super-user (root). You should use this option very carefully, as any user in this list will be able to do anything they like on the share, irrespective of file permissions. Default: no admin users Example: admin users = jason >>>end snip - smb.conf - man page >>> Carl Lindgren C. R.

Re: [expert] Problems with SquirrelMail
I found the problem (as far as I can tell). When reading the Mandrake List I recalled a posing that was similar in nature - It was regarding the security settings - My server was set to the Higher setting so I demoted it to High and now the mail servers work. Has anyone else experienced this with MDK and/or anyone know why? I'd like to start upgrading my Samba servers that are still on MDK 7.0 Secure Server and MDK-CSE 1.0.1 but I won't until I get some of these quirks worked out. I'm not much of a seasoned Linux Email Admin, my area is with Samba, but this was driving me nuts!!! Thanks for all the help Carl Lindgren C. R.
