Hi all,

I am looking for documentation to build a Samba server ( I am using Samba
2.2.7 on RH 9 ) as a backup domain controller. All of my searches returned
results for Samba server as primary controller.
Have anybody tried Samba as BDC ? Could you pelase share me some experience
I did a 'locate -i bdc' and turned up the following

file:///usr/share/doc/samba-doc-2.2.7a/docs/htmldocs/Samba-BDC-HOWTO.html

Which had the following snippets

SNIPPET

Can Samba be a Backup Domain Controller?

With version 2.2, no. The native NT SAM replication protocols have not 
yet been fully implemented. The Samba Team is working on understanding 
and implementing the protocols, but this work has not been finished for 
version 2.2.

/SNIPPET

However version 3.0.0rc1 is out I am unsure of whether this supports 
samba as a BDC perhaps asking the samba mailing list join at 
http://lists.samba.org

 What's really odd to me is why it shows linux as the os and IIs as the

that's because of Akamii (sp?). The original content came from IIS, but it was

Office?  Spice?  Photoshop?  What do we have that is close?


I would hardly classify Photoshop as a major business app for anything
but the graphics market. It's not really a mainstream cubicle app in
the same way that MS Office is.
Linux has chosen to chase the server market rather than expending most
of its energy on the desktop where Windows has a stranglehold.
Notwithstanding that, the Gnome and KDE folks continue to move the
yardsticks month after month.
As far as office productivity apps go, Star Office has shed some of its
bloat and Open Office has emerged as a winner. Collaborative calendaring
is now available in a fairly polished and attractive form, Outlook
clones exist (e.g. Ximian Evolution)and spreadsheet applications are no
longer a poor etch-a-sketch drawing. In fact, if you really wanted to,
this year there is no good reason why you couldn't switch your office
over seamlessly to a Linux desktop. With KDE, even the conversion
training would be minimal because it is so similar to Windows.
From a desktop perspective, everybody uses office.  Unfortunately, 
everybody also uses some other task specific app without which, the job 
cannot be done.  Office functionality is crucial but it as only the 
first step.

I applaud the decision to target server apps first.  It makes the most 
sense and it is easiest to accomplish.  Micro$oft wants to go from the 
desktop to the server.  linux wants to go from the server to the 
desktop.  Nothing gives me more pleasure than to reverse the M$ business 
model.

(I have a dream of writing a SAP-like application for distribution 
businesses for linux but I just don't have the time with going to school 
right now.)

That's the business we're in and I can tell you that it depends on
you're approach. Nobody spends money on technology just because
anymore. You have to frame it in a credible rationalized business case,
comparing the cost of making the system improvements, vs the risk, vs
the cost of NOT doing it. This is where we as technologists get lazy and
usually fail. 
Suits are nothing if not predictable. Show them where they can reduce
risk and save money and they WILL listen. Tell them about neat
technology that is better and their eyes glaze over.
I used to live between the techs wanting neat technology and the execs

I must agree. Try getting your new USB PDA to sync with linux.

I finally succeeded after great effort.  No business in its right mind
would waste the time. Worthy of note is the the pilot-xfer (crucial
for connectivity) forum seems to be dead.  I am subscribed and have seen
one or two letters in the past month.

Then, there is the almost complete lack of vendor support for inkjet
printers.  And,  those multifunctional printers/fax/scanners. There is
no support for these in linux. 

So, until linux gets the hardware support problems figured out, which it
never will until the hardware vendors decide linux is worth supporting,
linux on the desktop will be confined to a few techophils. The only hope
is that in Asia linux might catch on. If so, maybe the hardware vendors
will support linux. Of course, since MS software is almost free in Asia
due to widespread piracy, I am not holding my breath.

YMMV. But I find Oracle's Supply Chain Management in their eBusiness/CRM
suites to be pretty much what you have described - and more. I am less
familiar with SAP (although we do have people who are specialists), but
I believe it has received some mixed reviews.

Bottom Line: You are encouraged to contribute any code that will enhance

  SoHo market. OTOH, most workgroup business laser printers are pretty
  well represented. Perhaps there's a reason for that...
 
 On the other hand, she wore a glove.  No, uhm, oh, yeah, printers.
 
 I've never had any trouble with my (somewhat elderly) HP 600c inkjet
 printer.  Red Hat 6.x and SuSE 7.x  8.x all recognized it right off
 and set things up accordingly.
 

I've never played with any of the all-in-one devices, figuring that they
try to do everything, and don't do any of them very well.

As for the splatjets, Epson is probably the best supported.  HP
provides drivers for theirs, although I've found them a bit more
difficult to configure than the Epsons, at least on SuSE 8.[12].

Good support for my Lexmark Z53.  Lexmark even provides linux versions
of the support modules (check ink levels, align cartridges, etc.)

I too have a Z53, and originally used their drivers.  The gimp-print
drivers are significantly better than LexMark's though.  The downside of
LexMark is that they try very hard to prevent third party ink cartridges
from working.  Their laser printers are excellent though.

I use the lexmark z53, too. It is great with linux. However, I haven't seen
any other printers with such specific support for linux. I hope there are
more around.

If this is the Wal-Mart system I doubt if it has any SCSI devices, in
which case you don't need it. It's the Adaptec SCSI controller card. If
it *did* come with a SCSI card, I'm going to have to reevaluate Wal-Mart.

Re: acixxx problem compiling new kernel 2.4.20

This is the WalMart special. 
There may be no scsi devices but there are scsi drivers loaded:
lsmod | grep scsi:
ide-scsi7696   1
scsi_mod   53420   5  [sr_mod ide-scsi usb-storage sd_mod]
ide-mod   153700   4  [ide-cd ide-scsi ide-disk ide-probe-mod]

I have the bad feeling that scsi drivers are being used for various tasks,
not really for scsi devices scsi.  This must be why you need initrd with
this kernel.

Tne kernel (also 2.4.20) that it comes preinstalled  has this in
/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/scsi:
drwxr-xr-x2 root root   80 Jun 22 15:22 aic7xxx
-rw-r--r--1 root root   127076 Jun 19 17:40 aic7xxx_old.o
And, int aic7xx, this:
aic7xxx.o
In modules.dep, this is this entry:
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.o: 
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o

There must be a reason for this. I'd like to find out.

 What format is best for cpio, or does it matter?  I see the default is
 'bin', but that bin is also obsolete.  Is ustar better?

personally, I use either newc or crc.  The problem with cpio has always
been portability.  But for a backup, that should not be a big deal.  For
file transfers, use tar.

find .  file.list; cpio -oavBH crc  file.list  /dev/st0
always worked for me.  or substitute newc for crc above.
The file.list gives you a good TOC.  Modify the find to backup what you
need.

I'd be willing to bet that it's just like it was written. So easy to remove
