[SLUG] What talks do you want at SLUG meetings?

[SLUG] Squid + Winbind + squirrelmail
Hi, I have a server with squirrelmail and cyrus (admin, common, imapd) install and samba + winbind. My question has any one gotten cyrus to authenticate users against a NT domain using winbind through pam ? I have been trying this, testing with squirrelmail. I have setup winbind, getent passwd shows unix users and NT users wbinfo -u domain\\user%password authenticate (but not challange responce, just plain text) I know I have configured squirrelmail and cyrus okay, I logged into cyrus with a unix userid/password (cyradm and created my mailbox), sent mail to the mailbox. Logged into squirrelmail and viewed the mail. I have updated the /etc/pam.d/cyrus file to include winbind (actually removed the unix module and I was still able to login worrying) but still can't login with the NT domain userids. for example cyradmin -u domain+username localhost (asks for password)enter password application-specific initialization failed: authentication failed I have tried different case. So my questions are any pointers, can this be done ? Why does my changing the /etc/pam.d/cyrus files have no affect on the cyrus login ? (i restarted the passwd checker) Another side question can I alias the userid's given back from winbind look like ad+test, is there any way to associate it with a mailbox called test. such that login id is ad+test, but the email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] I Need Help Please.
Hi I am debian user not sure if the dial system is the same on mandrake. but if you try pon plog This should tell your system to dial and login (pon) and the plog should give you access to the dial relative log entries. It will tell you if you have connected to the ISP and authenticated, should also give you some error reasons if not. as for the default gateway, if there is one in place, then pppd will not set up a default route and all you traffic will stay going where it is going, so if you have it set to the local lan somewhere, then when you attempt to access the internet your only going to talk to the local lan. Try removeing the default gatway if all you have is a locallan Alex hi ken i m new to linux myself so u need to pardon my rather amatuerish attempt here i did have problems logging onto my ISP using mandrake 9 and a dialup account and this was mostly due to me installing too many options in the first instance and than not reading the errata on http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/90errata.php3 part of which said ... Error scenario: You have an ethernet card for the local LAN and a modem for internet access and you can't reach the internet. Why: Drakconnect wrongly asks for a gateway, and ppp can't set your modem connection as the default route. Solution: As root, edit /etc/sysconfig/network and manually remove the GATEWAY entry. ... of cos .. i dunno if that is really ur problem as i m only guessing at ur setup here ... unfortunately i can't help u with the firewall setup in mandrake 9 as i do not use it.. maybe when i get better at this linux thang i'll check it out .. as others before me have stated.. a firewall is probably best served using a dedicated machine ... and this i have done so using smoothwall... of cos .. it is only very very basic .. but it'll do for the time being.. i can't wait until i m good enuff to roll my own :)) hope this helps u a bit m -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

ldap_ssh.h should be part of the netscape client libraries. Find the file on your system (should be /usr/local/lib or similar) and make sure your Makefiule includes that directory in the library path. But more importantly you need to install some sort of ldap server, e.g. OpenLDAP.

Outlook has basically two types of address books: 1) Contacts and 2) Address Books Outlook presents its contacts as an address book for certain operations, but it can't do the reverse.

[SLUG] Partition resize...
Hi everyone, I have just moved my Mandrake 9.1 installation to a larger hard drive. I created partitions on the new drive with larger sizes to fill the new drive, then cloned the partitions from the old drive one at a time with Norton Ghost. After recreating the boot loader from the rescue disk, my system has booted and everything works A-OK. The only problem is that although Diskdrake shows the new partitions at the new sizes, df still reports the old sizes and free space. It appears that the file systems have not grown to fit the new partitions. Is there anything that I can do to fix this, or do I have to start again?

On Mon, 07 Jul 2003, Jeff Waugh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ranted... - is accessable via public transport Short wander from Wynyard. - is in a fairly central location Short wander from Wynyard. ;-) I'd disagree here - its not exactly a short wander, and its not exactly safe (you have a choice of walking through the dark domain at night, or up to taylor square) . This, I think is the main detractor of WBH. A point which wasn't on your list, which I think is important: Appropriate venue for a meeting and discussion. WBH has the private function room, and it's usually pretty quiet, unless there's a drunken office party there (rare on Wednesday nights). This is a good, valid point.

Re: [SLUG] Debian SIG Location..
G'day... Mary's experience isn't unsuprising. Woolloomooloo has a high number of vagrants living in and around the area. The closest train station is Kings Cross. To get from the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel to the train station, you are forced to walk through this area and the walk is about fifteen minutes uphill often where it isn't well lit and there aren't many other people around. Going to another train station or next point of public transport you also need to walk for a similar period of time, often through parts where you don't really see many other people. (Read propensity for danger late at night.) I'm pretty damn confident walking the streets of Sydney at any time - but I wouldn't really recommend this area to be doing that in.

I created partitions on the new drive with John larger sizes to fill the new drive, then cloned the partitions John from the old drive one at a time with Norton Ghost. After All this `clone' operation did was copy the data. So now you have small filesystems on large partitions. I very much doubt if *any* Norton utility understands whatever filesystem type your installation uses, so as to change its layout to fill the new partition. Your best bet is to throw away what you've done and start again, this time using tar, cpio or similar to clone the filesystems. For example: mkfs -t xfs /dev/hdb1 mkfs -t xfs /dev/hdb2 mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/home (assuming you have a /home partition on /dev/hdb2, a root partition on /dev/hdb1 and you want to use XFS as your filesystem) find / -depth -print | cpio -pdm --sparse /mnt (edit /mnt/etc/fstab to swap /dev/hda and /dev/hdb) umount /mnt/home umount /mnt Then edit /etc/lilo to boot with root=/dev/hdb1 Peter C -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

It appears that the file systems have not grown to fit the new partitions. Is there anything that I can do to fix this, or do I have to start again? The utility 'resize2fs' can resize ext2 and ext3 filesystems to take up the entire partition without losing any data (but backup beforehand just to make sure. :-) By default, it will grow the filesystem to fill the partition. 'man resize2fs' will have more details. Knoppix includes resize2fs, which makes it easy to boot up off the CD and resize the partitions on the hard-drive. If you're using reiser fs, try using the resize_reiserfs utility instead. - Doug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
