I always miss Linux applications when using Android but using Android for
browsing, entertainment etc may give a different (good) user experience.
The way the UI works looks good. Using a mouse does not make any difference
when compared to Linux (but keyboard seems a little different but people
can easily get used to it).

Hello everybody,
   I am a big fan of the Linux Action Show (

Chris Fisher and Bryan Lunduke. I really love the way they present the
latest developments in the linux world. For their 200th episode, they
invited Richard Stallman for a phone conference on the show. RMS created a
big storm by saying some controversial things (as is his usual style).

Please watch the latest episode at:

Re: [Ilugc] samba share permissions

[Raja Subramanian]

Sorry... I replied prematurely in my earlier post. Please ignore earlier one.
Here is the completed response.

Run Samba on your desktop. Configure it to join W2k8 R2 domain. Consult
Samba docs for how you can add your samba server to an existing AD domain.

You'll need to use "security = ADS" in your [global] smb.conf section and
also need domain administrator credentials for one time addition.

Once the Samba server is added in AD, new AD Computer object will be
created. This is exactly like adding any Windows desktop/server to AD.

You then need to ensure extended ACLs are enabled for the file system
which contains /ubshare. Use the "acl" option in fstab. Eg.

/dev/sda2 /ubshare ext3 defaults,rw,acl 1 1

Recommended you install e2fsprogs so you get lsattr/chattr and other
utils which you can use to view/set extended ACLs on ext2/3/4 file systems.

In smb.conf [global] section, you'll need

map acl inherit = yes
nt acl support = yes

to enable extended ACLs globally. You can now set administrator users
for /ubshare so they can change ACL permissions for other users.

[ubshare]

admin users = @"DOMAIN\DomainAdministrator"

Once all this is done, need to connect to the share from any AD registered
Windows desktop and as the admin user above. From the Windows Explorer
file permissions dialog, you can set permissions in the same manner
you set permissions on native Windows shares.

If in doubt Google for "samba extended acl" and follow the examples. Official
documentation is sparse.

It's preferred to use native Samba utilities (winbind) to connect with AD.

There is an alternate LDAP and NSS which is outlined here:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Active_Directory_Authentication_using_LDAP

LDAP approach is better suited only if you want all AD users to be visible
to Unbutu natively - ie, users can login to the shell over ssh using their
AD credentials. The setup is more complex and involves a lot of moving
parts which are not needed for simple Samba ACL setup.

Best of luck!

Once the server is added, your AD will show your Samba server as a new

Android was (and still is) primarily a phone/tablet touch
screen OS. Even if it can run on a PC, I can't understand
how usable it will be as a desktop OS.

Can you please share your Android PC experience for
everyday use? That is vs a traditional Linux/Windows OS.

It's high time you stopped top posting and learnt to follow mailing
list guide lines.

Your iptables rule is not correct, you are destination/reverse NAT
which is not needed in your setup. My preferred method with iptables
it to default DROP packets on the FORWARD chain. This will
ensure only traffic you explicitly permit to pass through your system
will be allowed - you can permit outbound dns, ssh, smtp/pop, etc
for select source and destination IP ranges.

Knowledge of iptables working is essential to build a successful
security system. Suggest you read the iptables documentation
fully and test thoroughly before deploying.

I am not a great fan of Java with its speed/security. And, not to 
mention Android being a google product. I think, I am going to stick 
with Linux on my x86 for a while. That is, until ARM hardware becomes 
readily available. Then its time for Linux on ARM :).

[Ilugc] Android on X86 platforms

[prasannatsmkumar]

There is an Android port for x86 hardware (Intel and AMD CPUs) at
http://android-x86.org/. Those who wanted to try Android but did not buy a
tablet or smartphone can try this in your PCs. I installed it along with my
Linux Mint and windows installation. I had some problems after installation
but the community is quite responsive. They provided answers to my queries
and now I am able to boot and use it from my hard disk. Only current issue
is ethernet support is not available in the CD provided (there are patches
that provide this support queued up in the git repository). If network
support comes I will be switching mostly to Android. Android ICS is
available for download now. Hope this helps some one :).
