Moving Samba PDC from old RH to SuSE 9.2
by Hugo 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi! We have a Samba domain controller in very old RedHat. How should I move it to a new SuSE 9.2? I need to move the PDC functionality, the users and the files. There are not that many users, so they could all set their passwords again if it's not possible to move them. First thing, how do I import the users to SuSE 9.2? The RH system doesn't use shadow (if that helps). I need to import them to both linux (the normal /etc/passwd) as well as samba... there isn't any import system? Next, what to I need to do to move the computers (windows clients)? Just import them as normal users? To both linux main users as well as samba users? How about synchronization of the passwords from samba (windows client) to unix? Windows users must change their passwords from windows. Then the switch... should I first switch off the old server (at least the samba) and after that configure the new server as PDC to the same domain and start that up. I'm expecting to do as much as possible through the Yast GUI, but as with many other things... I think it's not enough and I need to go to the conf-files. What kind of problems should I expect? -- Hugo.

Accessing pureftpd using Firefox
by Aaron Bridge 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

I have setup a server running pureftpd and all is fine when uploading and downloading using Internet Explorer. However, when I click on a file that should start to download using Firefox a window opens up and it looks like Realplayer is trying to start or something like that. I can't figure out what is going on. I don't even know if it is a Firefox issue of pureftpd. If anyone has run into this problem, how did you correct it? Thanks as always, Aaron

You're mixing two different things here. The original thread was installing the packages that are on the DVD only, which has nothing to do with updates to what is included on the disks. Updates can be obtained from the various servers, that are listed in the update portion of Yast. > > Also what do you do if the server your exporting from doesn't run Suse?? > How do you update it then?? (ie a local NFS export server running > another dist or solaris)? It doesn't matter what OS shares the disk, so long as it supports NFS, SMB, HTTP or FTP. Again though you're confusing the original topic of obtaining the contents of the DVD, with updating to later versions. Those are two separate issues. However, you may be able to create your own local server for updates. I believe the "Patch CD Update" has something to do with that.

I've edited the ipsec.conf file to add a new connection (conn con-name, etc.) and then tried ipsec auto --up con-name but it keeps telling me '021 no connection named "con-name"'. Why? TIA J

Difference between cd and dvd's ?
by Elijah Savage 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

All, This is very strang e I actually purchased the box set of SuSE 9.2 Pro. I installed it on a machine at work with the regular cd's because I have no dvd in it, I also installed it at home off the DVD. Well the machine at work when I go in to yast and do a search for the ximian-connector it does not find it, but at home off the dvd install it found it and installed it fine.
