Re: [Samba] Samba LDAP caching when LDAP server unavailable - possible?
We've used slave ldap servers as our "local office" solution, it seems like PITA at first, but really its not much trouble... we redistribute old Optiplex GX100's with bigger IDE drives as the local pdc.

It's a solution for a small office. A couple of workstations, this tiny router running Samba instead of a server; connection to the outside through ADSL, nothing more. When ADSL doesn't connect (because an employee disconnected the modem, because he needed a power outlet to make tee), we're in trouble. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] pushing out files or installs
Symantec's Ghost Autoinstaller, works great. Chris Anne wrote: I've got 20 windows desktop machines in a lab on a samba network. Throughout the semester instructors usually find some software they want installed. Has anyone come up with a good way to push out files to all these machines? I've seen demos of software management in Windows 2003. Or any inexpensive commercial product for software management for networks that are not Windows AD? I think I've seen some setup using .rhost files in windows.

RE: [Samba] what's the best filesystem
I vote for XFS, it is much faster than EXT3 with lower processor load when you get up over 100gigs of storage. I've had some stability issues with software RAID5 though. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Deryck Hodge Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 1:12 PM To: Eric A.
