Not only will it save you time, it will save him a lot on money. $199 for VMware and $200-300 (or less if you already have 1GB) for 2GB of memory for your computer is significantly less than buying 3 or 4 machines for you to use for testing. With 2GB of memory and a reasonably fast processor you can run 4 Virtual Machines simultaneously and still use the Host. If you have a laptop and can get him to spring for the memory for it you can take it home to work on projects. If you are like me, there never is any time to do testing while I'm at the office anyway, so, I get most of my testing and evaluation done at home. > Does it allow you to use the Linux portion of your computer to act as a DHCP > server and assign different IP addresses to the different windows > workstations, all on the same computer?

Also there are three different ways of setting up Networking with VMWare so you have a lot of options. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

You can setup a complete network of VM machines to do your testing and not touch the production network at all. I have VM Workstation for Linux running on my Laptop and routinely run 4 to 5 VM's all at once. I just bought a Dell PowerEdge 700 server with 4GB of RAM to run VMWare and it is going to replace the 4 computers currently residing in my office.

How does not using encrypted passwords support your assertion that Samba is not using eDirectory for authentication? The facts are: 1. Until I recompiled Samba to include the -with-ldapsam option I was not able to connect to the Samba shares. 2. There are no local user accounts contained in either the Linux passwd file or the Samba smbusers file. 3. Windows clients are using their Novell user id's and passwords when authenticating to the Samba shares. 4. With the appropriate pam_mkhomedir.so commands in /etc/pam.d/samba, the users home directory is automatically created the first time the user connects to the Samba server, and the user has full rights the directory. 5. I can provide DSTRACE LDAP log files that clearly show the authentication process. There obviously is an issue with using encrypted passwords with Samba and eDirectory. But, given the above facts, I can not honestly see how you can say that Samba is not using eDirectory for authentication. If I am wrong, please enlighten me. > https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330 > Looking at this bug, the resolution is listed as "WONTFIX". Does this mean there are no plans to work with Novell on Samba/eDirectory support? BTW I am using eDirectory 8.71 running on a NetWare 6.0 SP3 server. Finally, In case this post does not come across in the spirit that it is intended, please be aware that it is not meant to be combative in anyway. My ONLY goal is to use Samba in an eDirectory environment and contribute back to the Samba community my experiences in doing so. So far I have successfully setup two Samba servers and I am in the process of documenting the procedure. I will post the completed document on my website when I am satisfied that anyone can follow it. -- Like the dinosaur, Windows on the desktop is destined to become extinct...

I've setup a test lab that consists of a NW6 server with eDir 8.7, two RedHat 8.0 Linux system, and one W2K workstation.

Could you try adding a local user account with the same name as the domain name. Can you even do that? We don't have a domain, so I'm not up on all the whys and where-fors of Domain Accounts. Anyway if you can add a local user account with the same name as the domain account and make the local user a member of the local administrator group and then if the correct print job name shows up instead of the "Remote Downlevel Document" then I tend to think we've found a bug or feature depending on your perspective...

[Samba] Max Print Jobs Problem
I have setup a dedicated print server running on RH 8 with Samba 2.2.5-10 and LPRng-3.8.9-6 to service a HP9000 printer. The print queue for this HP9000 gets it print jobs from a Windows server via a script and the queue is set to HOLDALL status. The HOLDALL status is necessary because the script runs overnight to produce the print jobs which can total anywhere from 500 to 12,000 individual print jobs. My problem is that samba defaults to accepting up to 1000 print jobs then starts discarding print jobs. I have edited smb.conf and added both Max Print Jobs = 2 Total Print Jobs = 21000 But it still doesn't work. Once the queue reaches 1000 print jobs it starts deleting print jobs to make room for the newer print jobs being created by the script.
