[opensuse] samba authentication
by lynn 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Hi 11.4 I've set up a samba server using Yast. It works. I can see the home shares on a linux client and I get asked for a username and password when I click the 'homes' share e.g. from Dolphin by clicking network and then samba. That's _almost_ what I want. What I want it to do is use samba to authenticate linux clients like I do with NIS at the moment. There are no users apart from root on the clients and /home on the server is mounted as /home on the clients by NFS. The kde login screen on the client displays all the users on the server. Using yast windows domain membership on a client I cannot check the box 'Use SMB information for Linux Authentication'. I get the error: 'Cannot use the workgroup 'hh1' for Linux authentication.'. All linux users on the server have been given samba passwords and I have tried the server and client with firewall enabled and disabled. My question is: can samba do what NIS/NFS does at the moment? Thanks. L x here is /etc/samba/smb.conf from the server: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the # samba-doc package is installed. # Date: 2011-07-28 [global] workgroup = hh1 netbios name = suse domain logons = yes domain master = yes local master = yes os level = 65 preferred master = yes security = user logon drive = P: passdb backend = tdbsam add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody - s /bin/false %m$ name resolve order = wins bcast host lmhost server string = "opensuse" printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw wins support = Yes [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S, %D%w%S browseable = No read only = No inherit acls = Yes [profiles] comment = Network Profiles Service path = %H read only = No store dos attributes = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [users] comment = All users path = /home read only = No inherit acls = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ [groups] comment = All groups path = /home/groups read only = No inherit acls = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon write list = root -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

hi, though i have downloaded but before going to install have some doubts: At the page: http://en.opensuse.org/images/f/f4/11.4_LIVE_installer-partitioning1.png (which is an intermediate step of installation), there is an option: 'Edit partition Setup...', so should I use it ? Because I already have Ubuntu LTS and just to replace it (only Ubuntu LTS with openSUSE) but want to make the Windows XP remain intact, so please let me know which files to be deleted/changed/done....., whatsoever... Further the option of LVM based, what does it do? I request if someone could really explain / elaborate/ link me to this (for explanation).

[opensuse] signature assistance needed for Thunderbird
by C. van Nidek 31 Oct '11

After a total breakdown of kmail I want for the time being using Thunderbird. In KMail I was using a signature file which translated the information from my system into something like this: -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) 21:45pm up 6:41, 3 users, load average: 1.05, 1.03, 0.84 How could I get a similar signature in Thunderbird? The signature file contains following info: $ #!/bin/bash powered="$(head -n 1 /etc/SuSE-release)" echo " Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV ," kernel=`uname -r` echo " powered by $powered Kernel: $kernel" kde=`kde4-config -v | grep KDE` echo " LXDE WM & " $kde uptime lxde=`lxde-config -v | grep LXDE` echo $lxde -- o -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE and HDMI output
by James Knott 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I have a ThinkPad E520, which has HDMI output, in addition to the traditional VGA. When I connect a HDTV via HDMI, I cannot get the monitor & TV to show the same thing, unless I set both to 1024 x 768. I can have separate displays at full resolution. Is there anyway to get both displays to show the same thing, without limiting resolution. Another issue is when HDMI is plugged in, the audio does not switch to the TV, leaving audio playing on the ThinkPad built in speakers. Both of these items work well in Windows 7, where as soon as I plug in the external HDTV, the video is duplicated and the audio switched, as it should. Why doesn't openSUSE do this? I'm running 12.1 RC1, but this likely occurs with earlier versions too. The BIOS is configured so that the HDMI connection is active. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

The email isreceived in 20 to 40 minute intervals. Since my problems began I have stopped my kmail regular and have looked at myemail accounts via webmail. This in order to compare what comes in as Iotherwise do not know what is lost ;). This email and six others where nicely waiting at my ISP account. And they werereceived without a hitch and transferred to my suse folder. In my filter for the suse folder I try to catch all suse emails. Under the nameopensuse I have entered under General filter criteria "match any of thefollowing" To contains @opensuse.org and CC contains @opensuse.org .Under filter action "Move Into Folder" KMail Folders/inbox/suse Under the advanced options I have ticked four choices: Apply this filter toincoming messages, From all accounts, apply on manual filtering and if thisfilter matches stop processing here. If you need more details or the complete filter or other parts of my kmail2,just tell me. PS. Did a normal reply and after finishing this mail did not get out and I was surprised with the information: There were problems trying to queue the message for sending: Append failed.I just copied the contents of my reply from the draft box where I saved the mail and send this via webmail. PS2 Just restarted kmail and have to wait wait and wait because kmail is synchronizing the inbox folder ad infinitum.Went with midnight commander to the inbox file and under /new are 7 messages which have been downloaded before, including a mail from root. The inbox in kmail is empty, nothing shows.Have the feeling that kmail does not clean up filtered messages from the inbox new and consequently synchronizes until I decide to remove the contents and restart kmail.Reading and sending mail becomes problematic, reason why I use webmail again. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) 21:45pm up 6:41, 3 users, load average: 1.05, 1.03, 0.84 ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Just separate root, home, and swap. Don't overcomplicate yourself.

Read the opensuse book for more info. Oh I see, much technical..! Root is where the system is installed. Home is needed for your data, separate so that you can reinstall without touching your data. Oh I see. It would be exciting when I would install. -- THX -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

This is the way I do it, assuming one disk: /dev/sda1 100MB ext2 /boot /dev/sda2 100MB ext2 /dev/sda3 xxxx swap /swap (make this as big as your RAM) /dev/sda4 rest of disk extended-part /dev/sda5 40GB xfs / /dev/sda6 40GB xfs /dev/sda7 rest of disk xfs /home The small /boot partition formatted with ext2 guarantees that I can boot. Some boot loaders didn't like xfs or Reiserfs in the past. 40-GB is big enough for all the OS stuff, along with /tmp. The two unused partitions allow me to install the next release without disturbing the current one. Grub will automatically set it up so you can boot to the previous release if something goes wrong. You can also manually mount the previous / if you need to copy configuration files or other programs not a part of the OS release. You can make installs in one pair of partitions one time, the other pair for the next release, while /home stays the same, as long as you don't accidentally format it! There are lots of other ways to do it, your mileage may vary...
