[techtalk] samba question
I've got a samba server and need to give full rwx privs to all the admins at my job. I tried setting: admin users= admin1's username, admin2's username, admin3's username in [global] but it did not have the desired effect. I had seen this done in one of the example scripts that samba comes with. Can I use this as a globa parameter or do I need to set this for each specific share? btw, samba version 2.0.5a on a RH 6.1 machine Thanks in advance!

Re: [techtalk] Open AOL server?
I'm not sure if there is an opensource AOL server however the jabber
project has come quite far:
www.jabber.com (has a free windows client and they produce a "commercial"
jabber server {ie. "redhat jabber" }
www.jabber.org (the original jabber site hosts the server/transport
development)
www.jabbercentral.com (hosts links to various client products and news)
jabber is cool since it's A> opensource
b>has "transports" that allow communication with other IM and chat related
protocols
unless there is a specific reason to stick with aim I would recommend
going with jabber there is a "commercial looking" IM client for windows at
jabber.com the linux / windows/ mac/newton ones avail on jabbercentral.com
aren't bad either
let me know what you think..
I use jabber since somee people I know use AOL others use ICQ so it allows
me to merge those into one client package..

[techtalk] Preserving Permissions
Hi, I have a question about preserving permissions (for files). It seems like the -p option during a copy does not work. Here is the scenario: Directory A has 4 files with the following permissions: file1=777, file2=666, file3=667 & file4=676. Directory B has the same (contents) 4 files with the following permissions: file1=644, file2=644, file3=644 & file4=644. If I add new contents to any of the files in directory A and use the following copy commands [cp -rfpv, cp -rpv, cp -pfv, cp -pv] the files get overwritten (desired effect) as does the permissions (undesired effect) in Directory B. I thought the -p option preserved the permissions. How can I preserve my files original permissions scheme (in directory B)? Thanks, Davida Without books there is no knowledge. Without knowledge there is no power. Without power there is no freedom. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] Preserving Permissions
You're not copying from an NFS mount, are you? a few days ago I tried to do something similar and the permissions would not preserve, and the ownership changed to nobody. We finally decided it was an NFS thang, since it runs as nobody. Davida Schiff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > I have a question about preserving permissions (for files).

The permissions being preserved are those of the copied file. Any files that get copied over don't matter. Did you try not preserving permissions in order to preserve them :-) It looks like it works: ~/linux/html 1053: touch a b ~/linux/html 1054: chmod 321 a ~/linux/html 1055: ls -l a b --wx-w---x 1 jdikejdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 a -rw-rw-rw- 1 jdikejdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 b ~/linux/html 1056: cp b a ~/linux/html 1057: ls -l a b --wx-w---x 1 jdikejdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 a -rw-rw-rw- 1 jdikejdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 b Jeff ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

A segmentation fault usually happens when a program accesses memory in an incorrect way. Each program has it's own address space called virtual memory which is divided into chunks called pages. Each page has certain access rights. For example, the data pages can be read and written by the application. The pages with the programs instructions (code or text pages) can be read but not written which allows these pages to be shared amongst all the instances of the program running or all apps using a shared library. So a program will SEGV if it tries to write a page that it doesn't have access to. A related signal is a Bus Error, which means the program was trying to access a page that does not exist in it's address space. > Core files can be huge!

Which is why I have a little script called nocore that does the following: #!/bin/ksh if [ -d ~/.nocore ] then mkdir ~/.nocore ln -s /dev/null ~/.nocore/core fi cd ~/.nocore exec $* I find myself much happier to run netscape via "nocore netscape". -- Kathryn Hogg ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
[techtalk] resolv.conf issues
distro: VectorLinux 1.0 problem: /etc/resolv.conf looks like this search domain.com sub1.domain.com sub2.domain.com domain.net sub3.domain.net sub4.domain.net nameserver nameserver the problem is that the search path doesn't work :( the *first* domain will work, no matter what it is (I've done much rearranging based upon superstition) but the others are flat out ignored this bugs (since the machines I admin are scattered across multiple domains) Unfortunetly I have no access to another linux box to test another distro..so 1. Any ideas? 2. Can anyone confirm/deny this behavior in another linux distro? I don't recall ever trying multiple search domains before, personally, but it works fine on solaris 2.7 and openBSD 2.7 V. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

[techtalk] Kooldown (KDE 2.0 beta 4)
Hi, everyone, I did a rebuild of my main system, got it all cleaned up and configured the way I wanted, and then installed Kooldown, a/k/a KDE 1.93, a/k/a KDE 2.0 Beta 4. I've only been using it for a few days, but it's sure come a long way since Kleopatra (KDE 1.91). It really loooks to be ready for release. All the apps work, none have crashed on me yet, and all have a much nice look and feel. A lot have had features added/finished, and all the bugs from Kleopatra seem to be gone. I'm impressed! Oh, one note: this time the install did hose a few things in KDE 1.1.2. Nothing that can't be fixed, and the two can be run side-by-side, but there's some reconfig work if you need to do that. The thing is, there is no reason not to work in KDE 2 any more :) Best, Caity ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

Le 31 août 2000, Vinnie écrivait : > search domain.com sub1.domain.com sub2.domain.com domain.net > the problem is that the search path doesn't work :( the *first* domain >From the resolv.conf(5) man page: search Search list for host-name lookup. The search list is normally determined from the local domain name; by default, it contains only the local domain name. This may be changed by listing the desired domain search path following the search keyword with spaces or tabs separating the names. Most resolver queries will be attempted using each component of the search path in turn until a match is found. Note that this process may be slow and will generate a lot of network traffic if the servers for the listed domains are not local, and that queries will time out if no server is available for one of the domains. The search list is currently limited to six domains with a total of 256 characters. The last line is important: check that you don't have more than 6 domains listed and do not have more than 256 characters. If the behavior is not that expected, then it is either a bug in the man page or in the resolver. olive -- So when the machine truncates excess bits, it throws them under the raised floor. - Fred Felber (so THAT's why there are raised floors in computer rooms.) ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

In short (because I don't know much about the kernel), it's the signal the kernel sends a process when it's eating into memory that the kernel didn't give it. If it's a program of mine dying with a segfault I've stuffed up the memory management (malloc/free, new/delete in C/C++ respectively) somewhere. It's pretty much the same thing in other programs, just happens less often (at least if you're using a stable). Basically it's the OS putting the brakes on a (possibly) out of control program before it eats into other processes. All corrections and expansions most welcome.

Re: [techtalk] Re: [grrltalk] extremely new
A segmentation fault is reported when you run a program and it tries to access something it doesn't have permission to access...at least that's my understanding of it. A program will skip merrily along until BAM! it hits a wall when it tries to occupy a space where it isn't allowed to be. It will promptly fall on its fanny and barf up a core dump. Any time you see the segmentation fault message, do an ls -l on that directory, and you'll probably find a new file called core. Unless you're doing testing for a development team, it is safe just to delete that file. Core files can be huge! But they can contain information developers can use to debug their software. Hope this helps.
