If you want a list of all invalid usernames in smbpasswd that is
not in allusers.txt, this way might be easier:
cut -d: -f1 smbpasswd | while read name; do
grep -q ${name}\$ /tmp/list || echo $name
done

oops. that's allusers.txt instead of /tmp/list. the output of
this can then be fed to smbpasswd -x

Re: [SLUG] BASH oddity
I have put together a bash script that does a bit of maths, but I keep
getting this odd message:
script.sh: line 68: 09: value too great for base (error token is 09)
The specific line 68 (last below), and the immediately preceding lines,
in the script read:
OUR_TZ_OSET=$(date +%z)
OUR_TZ_OSET_MINS=$((${OUR_TZ_OSET:3:2}))
OUR_TZ_OSET_HRS=$((${OUR_TZ_OSET:1:2}))
OUR_MINS=$(date +%M)
OUR_HRS=$(date +%H)
OUR_DATE=$(date +%d)
OUR_UTC_MINS=$(($OUR_MINS-$OUR_TZ_OSET_MINS))
This problem only seems to occur with some values of $OUR_MINS which
have a leading 0 (specifically 09 in this instance), when the
leading digit is other than that (1 thru 5) there appears to be no
problem.
Any clues? I really do need to retain the leading 0 if possible when
it exists.
You can get date dump UTC:
OUR_UTC_MINS=$(date -u +%M)

Re: [SLUG] Kernel Panic - missing file system from kernel?
if you don't want to use initrd, make sure you also compile in
IDE (i.e. CONFIG_IDE, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE, etc.)
as well as the driver for the IDE chipset. obviously, you would
need to have SCSI compiled in if that's what you're using.
i hope that helps.

I have Debian woody running with kernel 2.2.20.
I am trying to build 2.4.27 and apart from a kernel build that takes a
few hours, each time I try to boot it, I get a kernel panic.
Googling suggests that the problem might be as I don't have initrd, that
the ext2 file system support is not compiled into the kernel, but might
actually becompiled as a module.
The Questions is what setting do I need to change to make it so?
Looking in menuconfig, under file systems, i have
Second extended Fs (not extensions),
Ext3,
/proc and
/dev/pts
all in kernel.
Am I missing something?
Just incase it matters, the hard disk is 775MB from a lappy (1575/16/63).

There should be some option in the BIOS so that it tries to boot from the CD first, then the hard disk, etc. After you have Linux installed, you can easily change the order back, so that it speeds up the boot process. You'll have to check up on how you can access the bios on your machine, though (check the manuals). Hope that helps, Dave.
