[luau] samba overhead/dynamic mount?

2002-11-12 Thread burnst001
In linux, is there a way to have a (non-root) user's profile mount a volume at logon and unmount it when the user logs out? I have 20 users, each of whom needs access to 1 of 10 shared volumes. There are about 15 other users who do not need to use the shared volumes at all. I could just mount all

Is it possible on a LAN with Linux, Irix, and Windows clients for users to have access to all clients by using the same username/password, but without redundancy? So to add a new user, I would go to one server and make the switch and it would then be usable on all clients. NIS, LDAP, and using

I've followed Warren's walkthrough of MonMotha's firewall script found at http://www.mplug.org/phpwiki/index.php/BasicFirewallRouter. I installed the script on a computer running redhat 7.3. The only change I made was that I used 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1 for the firewall LAN gateway

I'm considering sharing a single filesystem using both nfs and samba. Most of the discussions I find on the web talk about using samba to re-export a filesystem mounted using NFS (and what a bad idea that is). I just want to have an NFS daemon for serving unix clients and a smbd for serving

I'm running redhat 7.3, with mostly default workstation settings. when I run ps -e, there are a bunch of redundant (?) processes, about 8 nfsd, 15 kdeinit, 10 httpd, 6 mingetty. This seems screwy to me, do any of these sound reasonable, or is something weird happening to make my daemons multiply?

Couldn't a graphical method of executing 'rm -rf' also allow accidental deletion? You could certainly design a GUI so that it was just as easy (a bad design), and people seem capable of out-idioting any idiot-proof measure. But let's face it, accidentally typing rm -rf /lib/* and hitting enter
