Good morning,

I am debugging an incremental backup system. It's actually f... up the hard link stuff and does not just do incrementals but full backups. What it should do is:

Hello all,

I was hoping to use a spare NAS as a ZFS fileserver and try a few things.

Unfortunately it has a huge raid for data, but a small 1G system disk. As I want to use the kernel CIFS...

I know it's not really dummy-level, but it was the forum with the most viewers and the least specific ;) It seems it's not limited to Solaris

Well, the command line was:

virt-install --name PDC...

Hello all,

trying to install a host-os on a freshly installed Opensolaris machine, I keep getting the error "Could not find an installable distribution".

It seems there are a hundred of people...

Nope, now we are finally speaking the same language :)

True, but in this setup I had to add a unix-user for every account, which is exactly what I do NOT want.

It should be as simple as "Lookup user/pass in LDAP => Authentication ok? => User in the...

Yes, now we are speaking the same language.

But this is such a complex topic, completely different from old samba-style, that's why I wonder, if there isn't any easy to follow tutorial out there,...

Uhm...

A samba-server can authenticate it's users against an LDAP database. Sorry, but are you pulling my leg?

Windows user browses the network environment, chooses a samba-server, clicks on...

Well, I want to authenticate my samba/CIFS-users with LDAP.

This is actually a basic function of a fileserver, I wonder why I can't find any information about it?

No appropriate as it doesn't cover LDAP :(

I just skimmed through the Administration Guide about LDAP and CIFS.

Well that's a whole lot of text. Does someone know a tutorial/introduction with some steps to make?

TIA

Use the -v flag:

mailx -v -s test youraddress@domain.com
hello world
.

It will come out with a bunch of messages. If all goes well, check /var/log/mail.log

I thought so. (about the directory sharing) Sorry for the wrong words, of course I meant to share those subfilesystem thingies :)

Duke, I don't understand what you wrote. Yes, I am using (on the...

Hm, but how?

With "zfs set sharesmb=on pool/directory" it won't work. So....?

Hi all,

I just wonder:

Do I need to have one filesystem like pool/backups, pool/archives, pool/home and so on, for each share I would like to use? Or can I do that a in a different way?

I...

True... I set up those services on a different host some months back.

Did not notice the DUPLICATE in those lines...

thank you!

Hey,

I was just reminded to something:

Years ago I have seen a cartoon, maybe dilbert-style?, with a couple of nerds talking. The title was "Computer-people probably aliens?" and the guys were...

Hello all,

I have set up three vnics on a machine running OSOL:

LINK OVER SPEED MACADDRESS MACADDRTYPE VID
vnic1 e1000g0 1000 2:8:20:f6:c8:50 ...

Ok, if THAT is a serious statement of yours, you have to learn a lot about UNIX and self-compiling...

Found a solution meanwhile, for those who look for it:

OpenSolaris comes with gcc, while...

Good idea, but neither String.so nor String.o exist ;)

CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GA/GAAS/Unicode-String-2.09.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

CIFS != Domain Controller!

Anyway, the question is, whether OpenSolaris is a good base to set up a domain controller. Other OS like FreeBSD are a nightmare if you dare to use them for this...

Because I just migrated two machines to OPenSolaris for their CIFS-support, another one as the NX server is only available (native) for Solaris and Linux, so why introduce a third OS in the network...

Just wondering:

Is it wise to have two OSOL boxes with one being a cifs kernel server and the other one a genuine samba & LDAP to serve as a PDC for the windows clients in the network?

Thou shalt be forgiven ;)

Your one-single-sentence-answer was just a bit offending to someone who wants to rescue/access the data.
