RE: [Samba] 2 samba's?
It's probably safest to remove the rpm's and re-install them if you need them. rpm -e --allmatches On Thu, 2002-10-24 at 00:01, Elliot wrote: > Ok guys, I looked that the files associated with those 2 packages.

Re: [Fwd: [Samba] Re: [K12OSN]Re: [Lrlug-discuss]emergency....file/directory recovery]
The "Recycle Bin" option in the smb.conf allows you to create a "Salvage" area like Netware has. This is a really wonderful feature that I've been using for several releases and happy to see in the latest release of Samba. It works pretty well, and can grow extremely fast. It's better than Netware's Salvage though as it does revisioning. And since it's a standard directory instead of a "special place" it's actually easier for me to browse the files to recover the right ones.

I did make the switch in configure from -lacl -lattr and faired no better results. I'm using XFS version 1.1 from the 2.4.9-31SGI_XFSsmp kernel. checking if large file support can be enabled... yes checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lattr... no checking for ACL support... no checking whether to build winbind... yes checking configure summary configure: error: summary failure.

Re: [Samba] Invalid pass after win98 ug?
You need to read about encrypted passwords in the documentation. Windows 98 uses encrypted passwords by default and the earlier versions of Windows 95 use plaintext passwords. You can force both versions of Windows to do whichever one you decide to do. If you only have one win98 box on the network you'll probably want to use plaintext passwords to start and figure out how to move everyone to encrypted passwords.

RE: [Samba] Exchange Replacement (OT)
Probably something more worthwhile to test would be the product formerly called HP OpenMail. It is now distributed by Samsung as Samsung Contact and is just releasing a new version. It runs fine on Linux and has most everything that good Exchange support requires. Probably the most beneficial thing that you get from using Exchange is the calendaring/schedule process, which was supported quite nicely when the product was maintained by HP. Hopefully this helps. I know there is a demo that lasts 30 days for Linux (at least I am running one on a laptop to test it on).
