I give it a A-. One problem with it: chmod -r 755 /mnt/data - This depends on usage. chown -R user:group /mnt/data - This also. *or* chmod -R ug+rwxs,o-w,o+rx /mnt/data - This also to. It is totally dependent upon how samba is going to be used in the network environment thus I can not say an exact permission option to choose. If the folders contain W$ Profiles they would be read only. Home Directories: Yes they can be Shared on a Per User Basis. What I mean is only one user connects to a /home/user-name and no other user connects to that same home. That home folder can contain a W$ roaming profile plus be a holder for the user created files. The article could be a starting point for more samba articles in a series. One small basic configuration file would be good also. Explanation at the begining is pretty good. Would also be good to put all the samba articles on the wiki in one direct place. JohnStanley ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Is there another way to get this installed? Is there perhaps an option to ignore any errors and just install (apparently --force does not do that). Unmounting is not an option, too many users on the machine. So a reboot would be needed. As someone else mentioned, waiting a couple of weeks is also an option, if it get's fixed in the end.

[CentOS] Using cdrecord on CentOS
Hi, I'd like to use cdrecord on the command line. I'm currently reading the relevant chapter in Carla Schroder's Linux Cookbook. Unfortunately, some of the tricks and hints included in the book don't seem to work the same way on a standard CentOS 5 install. 1) Am I supposed to be root to use cdrecord and burn an .iso file? 2) How do I specify a device? 'cdrecord -scanbus' doesn't seem to work. Say my CD burner is /dev/hdc, would 'cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc' be the correct way to address it?

Linux has brogressed a lot in this area since cdrecord first began. Recentl (for me) it looks like the SCSI bus scan is not reliable. But using the standard /dev/h[abcd] could. However, you should have a link called /dev/cdrom. Use that if it's there. Be aware that you can config this stuff in /etc/cdrecord.conf and not have to put it on the command line, after testing is completed.

[CentOS] httpd with SNI
Hi! I am currently publishing some web services on a Centos 5.3 server on my office using the included apache httpd. They are available from the Internet, and they require validation (username/password). I would like to publish them all under https, so the passwords won't travel unencrypted, but then all my sites use the same certificate on apache httpd. The solution to this is using an httpd server that supports SNI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication however, the httpd included in Centos does not have this feature. Question is: have anybody made httpd RPMs for CentOS supporting this feature? (according to the link, httpd supports this since 2.2.11) or maybe they can be requested on the CentOS Plus repositories?
