[SLUG] debugging ODBC / samba
Hello. Wondering how other sluggers might go about debugging this little problem. I have set up a samba server (smbd Version 2.999+3.0.alpha24-3 for Debian) to serve an MYOB data file to three clients on a network. the actual MYOB part seems to work ok (once we gave the server enough RAM - 32M RAM it seems is not enough these days :-) But there is a second program that uses ODBC to query the data file and it runs like a proverbial something.. unusably slow. The data file is set up as a System DSN in the ODBC control panel in win2k. I've run tethereal on the connection to the server and see a lot of SMB AndX Read requests from the client and not a lot of replies going back. I think i need to work on tuning samba with this but am unsure where to start. As i say the performance of the non-ODBC SMB connections seems acceptable now.. but until i can get the ODBC driver working I'm unable to complete the move and finish the project. Any hints most welcome. :) cheers, ..S. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Majordomo Configuration (on Redhat 7.2)
I've installed the latest majordomo rpm, and gone through the HOWTO until the
testing section (running wrapper config-test as a normal user). I get an error
Can't locate majordomo_version.pl in @INC
The FAQ is less than helpful:
Majordomo adds $homedir from the majordomo.cf file to the @INC array
before it goes looking for majordomo.pl. Since it's not finding it,
I'd guess you have one of two problems:
1) $homedir is set improperly (or not set at all; there is no default)
in your majordomo.cf file.
$homedir is set through the following script, which all looks correct; the home
directory is /usr/lib/majordomo
if ( defined $ENV{HOME}) {
$homedir = $ENV{HOME};
} else {
$homedir = /usr/lib/majordomo;
}
2) majordomo.pl is not in $homedir, or is not readable.
It is in /usr/lib/majordomo, and its permissions are -rwxr-xr-x, it UID is majordomo
and it GID is majordomo.
3) Note that the new majordomo.cf file checks to see if the environment
variable $HOME is set first, and uses that for $homedir. Since the
wrapper always sets HOME to the correct directory, you get a nice
default, unless you are running a previously built wrapper, in which
case you may get the wrong directory.
How do I find out what the environment value $HOME is: and how do I/should I change
it?
4) I had the same problem when I installed majordomo (1.62).
My Problem was a missing ; in the majordomo.cf file - just in the line
before setting homedir
I'm no perl expert, but there is a ; in the line before
Can anyone help?

Wondering how other sluggers might go about debugging this little problem. I have set up a samba server (smbd Version 2.999+3.0.alpha24-3 for Debian) to serve an MYOB data file to three clients on a network. the actual MYOB part seems to work ok (once we gave the server enough RAM - 32M RAM it seems is not enough these days :-) But there is a second program that uses ODBC to query the data file and it runs like a proverbial something.. unusably slow. The data file is set up as a System DSN in the ODBC control panel in win2k. I've run tethereal on the connection to the server and see a lot of SMB AndX Read requests from the client and not a lot of replies going back. I think i need to work on tuning samba with this but am unsure where to start. As i say the performance of the non-ODBC SMB connections seems acceptable now.. but until i can get the ODBC driver working I'm unable to complete the move and finish the project.

[SLUG] SLUGAMuSIG reminder - audio/ music group
Quick reminder about the second audio/ music group meeting on Saturday - blurb below.

A more detailed list of proposed discussions will follow shortly, but the general plan is a demonstration/ discussion in the morning, followed by an open session of jamming/ coding/ talking in the afternoon. All levels of interest are welcomed. A relevant map of Macquarie is at http://www.ccms.mq.edu.au/crowdy/macmap.html.

The closest parking is W4, and costs $6.00 for the whole day. For people arriving at various times through the day, the front door might be locked, but we'll keep an eye out, or call me on 0408 478 802.

Myob AO on linux, was Re: [SLUG] debugging ODBC / samba
The outcome is that AO works with a samba server no probs as long as you don't let the myob people know that you're using it like that. Myob wash they're hands of you if they know you're using it on a linux server. I've got a client using it like this for 15 months now. smb.conf [ao] path = /path_to_ao_directory strict locking = yes force user = users force group = users chown users:users -R /your_ao_directory_here chmod ug+rw -R /your_ao_directory_here Samba version 2.2.8a Redhat 7.2 Clients: Win98 and WinXP -- Vince The information in this message and it's attachments are confidential, anyone other than the intended recipient reading this message shall automatically go into the draw to win a date with Nurse Boris and her patented 10 pound lump mallet anti-naughty-person therapy.
