Re: [PLUG] Having trouble with MS-DFS still...
I'm not convinced there IS anything different on the client side... The whole point of DFS seems to be to abstract away all of the client side complications that come with multiple SMB servers in an Enterprise. In other words... It appears to be an entirely server-side solution. OK, I am going to have to suggest a very not-Unix next step: You're gonna have to set up a Windows Server lab... I have a Windows Server 2008 license lying around, and I know Microsoft offers free trial WS2008 images on their website, so this is going to be focused on that... Although, I'm sure Google can help find similar guides for other Windows versions... First, here's a nice Microsoft blog introducing the idea at hand: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/josebda/2009/03/10/the-basics-of-the-windows-server-2008-distributed-file-system-dfs/ Then read the TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753479.aspx Then use this step-by-step to setup a virtual swarm of Windows servers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc737358(v=ws.10) Then set up a nice clean Windows 8 install with a free trial license, and connect to it... My GUESS is that it will connect exactly the same as it would to a single server... I may also expect the client to connect to the individual "Target folders" directly if they so choose... I don't know how to block them. Once you confirm that works... Then set up a nice clean Linux image and repeat the tests. I would expect it to also connect without noticable difference to connecting to a single SMB server. You may also be able to connect to individual "Target Shares" directly. Again, no idea how to block that... I would try it all myself, cuz this looks kinda neat, but I don't like the idea of using Windows in a production environment, so I guess it doesn't look REALLY neat... So it's hard to motivate myself :/ On Tue, Apr 3, 2018, 07:48 michael wrote: > I tried googling for MS-DFS client and got a ton of information about > setting up Samba as a DFS server, but nothing about being a client. > ___ > PLUG mailing list > PLUG@pdxlinux.org > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] THUSDAY PLUG: Upgrading your business phone system with Asterisk
Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement Who: Ted Mittelstaedt What: Upgrading your business phone system with Asterisk Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level) When: Thursday, April 5th, 2018 at 7pm Why: The pursuit of technology freedom Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live Upgrading your business phone system with Asterisk Most medium to larger businesses use central PBX phone systems to save money on telephone lines. Over the last decade the business PBX has gradually evolved towards Voice over IP hardware and away from traditional digital phones. Proprietary VoIP PBX systems such as Panasonic, Cisco and Mitel are available but costly. This presentation will cover how companies can take advantage of open standards such as SIP and LDAP and software such as Asterisk to have an inexpensive PBX that has features of the large, expensive and proprietary systems. An Asterisk system will be demonstrated and used as a sample system for the presentation.

Re: [PLUG] Create a Raspbian Stretch mirror on a CentOS 7 server...
I haven't spent much time with debian recently, so take this with a grain of salt... but See https://www.debian.org/mirror/ My understanding is that a debian "repository" is just a bunch of files accessible via http or ftp. The real work would be handled by the client package manager. The website I linked has a few scripts and I would be suprised if they required debian. Most distros just list packages in a folder and serve it up via a web server. Point your ras pi's to the http://my.website.com/path/to/repo/root during install, and if you properly mirrored the directory structure it just kinda works. Theoretically, hopefully a debian user will correct me if I'm wrong ;-) Hope this points you in a useful direction. -Ben On Tue, Apr 3, 2018 at 2:37 PM, michael wrote: > On 2018-04-03 14:52, michael wrote: > >> I've found instructions on how to do this on a Debian based server, >> but not a CentOS 7 based one. >> >> I know I will need ~70G.

I've found instructions on how to do this on a Debian based server, but not a CentOS 7 based one. I know I will need ~70G. I will likely want to fetch updates in an automated way as well. I work for a small company where it is a terrible waste of bandwidth to install Stretch over the Internet to multiple Raspberries simultaneously. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] Does NOOBS 2.4.4...
Download Raspbian Stretch off the Internet? I'm talking about the full, not the lite version of NOOBs. It is critical that NOOBs NOT access the Internet, but the Raspberry Pi 3 has built in wifi that you can't disable during install. I thought to download anything that I'd have to click on wifi and authenticate to a wifi network, but I see Downloading and extracting nonetheless and it is taking a long time... ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
