Re: File and Print Proof of Concept Competition
Thanks for this information, Gary! That's good to know. I'll have to snag the source and try it out. What I'm most concerned with at this point is NOT having to touch the Linux box (or access it as a guru would). More specifically, it is important that we not have to create the user id's on the Linux box, that access is somehow granted to the filesystem simply by granting rights in the AD. It's ok if the rights themselves are assigned at the filesystem level, so long as we can put together a Windows-user friendly method of managing them. There are about 200-300 LAN Admins who will need to be able to do this without too much retraining. Thanks!

I am a firm Open Source evangelist, so my reasons are many and varied. The solution which seems most palatible is Distributed Samba, using a central directory for administration of authentication and rights. While I would ordinarily choose OpenLDAP, the company has a strong push for AD and a large dependence upon eDirectory currently, so we would like to use one of these directory services for said administration. Matthew, Samba version 3 has made great strides in this area. Version 3 is now in its second beta, and the developers expect it to be finalized in August. From the Samba team's description of version 3: Major new features: --- 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to to join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate users using LDAP/Kerberos. 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte and UNICODE character sets. 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable. 4) New filename mangling system. The filename mangling system has been completely rewritten. An internal database now stores mangling maps persistently. This needs lots of testing. 5) A new net command has been added. It is somewhat similar to the net command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands in net. 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This improves error handling a lot. 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing printer attributes in active directory. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.

The dimensions of the screen determine the DPI used to draw the screen: $ xdpyinfo | egrep 'resol|dimen' dimensions:1280x1024 pixels (339x271 millimeters) resolution:96x96 dots per inch The physical dimensions are 339x271mm; the logical dimensions are 1280x1024 pixels, which gives an actual screen resolution of 96x96dpi, hrmmm, this got me wondering. on one of my boxes i have: xdpyinfo | egrep 'resol|dimen' dimensions:1600x1200 pixels (383x290 millimeters) resolution:106x105 dots per inch is it normal for the 'resolution' to be rectangular, rather than square? -- ~ L.

Beats hell outta me. You can force whatever resolution you want using -dpi with X: XFree86 -dpi N, where N is the screen resolution in dots-per-inch.

Quoth Keith Antoine: Got a call this afternoon asking whether I was alive or not; as I was unsure at the time I went and looked, sure enough I was there. So Shane asked me why I disappeared, that there were some users that were asking what happened to me ? I was sure that I would not be missed afer mostly lurking. Surprise! Glad you're back. Anyway I am flattered that anyone was interested enough to ask where the 'thong' was and was he ok. It was a set of circumstances that took me offline. Yep, I was worried. Spent an hour or so looking for an obit last night, in fact. Happily, I'm pleased to say I didn't find one for you. ;-) days and I also forget simple Cline commands. As most know I am 70+ and try as I might learning is now taking a great deal of effort. Still do builds and installs, but no networking anymore, or complicated stuff. We all know that 70 in metric is rather less in the imperial system we use here in the States. Nuff for now, yes Lonnie I know this should be in General sigh, wink !

[OT] welcome back skippy!
I have to add that I am glad to see you back, even in a lurking capacity. I mostly lurk these days and contribute when I have something to teach, ask when I need help (and *always* get it - thanks!). So you are not alone in that. And, while I am not really old, but not really young either, I sometimes have to say, how did I do that? I *know* I should know! It's on the edge of my brain somewhere!. What helps me is keeping a journal cuz then my brain doesn't have to retain it all ;) Anyway, glad to see you around in whatever capacity. -- Sue = _ Susan Macchia mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _ - Running Linux - because life is too short for reboots... ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
