SAMBA and Active Directory Intergration Problem
by Bonnie B Mtengwa 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I have a CentOS6.3 SAMBA file server. All the users are on a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Controller and authentication is done using Winbind integration on SAMBA . Everything works well except that if someone logs on to the Samba Server, they see all the shared folders there and also a folder with their own name %USER%. This Folder is not accessible, one cannot enter into this folder, I have noticed that it's not being automatically created in the home folder : i.e /home/%USER%/ is not there. My smb.conf is as follows workgroup = Domain0 security = ads realm = Domain.com encrypt passwords = yes preferred master = no template shell = /bin/bash template homedir = /home/%D/%U winbind separator = $ ; template primary group = "Domain Users" winbind uid = 600-20000 winbind gid = 600-20000 winbind use default domain = yes winbind nested groups = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes enhanced browsing = yes winbind offline logon = false password server = dc.domain.com [homes] create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 browseable = no comment = Home Directories valid users = %U writable = yes anyone who can help me on this?

From Fedora (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Staying_close_to_upstream_projects): In general, when Centos folks refer to upstream in general terms, they are talking about RedHat. It often seems to be used in order to avoid too much use of the Trademarked name that makes Centos possible. If someone is talking about a specific program (say apache or MySQL) and they refer to upstream, they are probably referring to the developers of that specific program. Ted Miller P.S.

Yum update without internet connection
by Steve Campbell 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

I usually use a "Desktop" option when installing a new machine. This gives me all I need for an X session and then I add other packages or grouplists on an as-needed basis. I'm putting together a couple of machines that will not have network connectivity until all packages are installed. Is there a way to run yum to install packages/groups from the installation disk instead of from one of the normal yum repositories? If so, is there a ever a problem with packages on the second disk of the 2 disk installation DVDs? Thanks, steve campbell

lshw on a newer Dell
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Odd thing: I just installed and tried to run lshw on a Dell R415 running 5.8. It goes through the subsystems it's scanning, hits IDE, and that's it - it just sits there. I've waited minutes. Anyone else seen this? mark

Raid 5 Q
by Phil Savoie 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

I have a raid 5 built on an opensuse box that I just reinstalled Centos 6.3 on. Is it possible to rebuild the raid 5 array non-destructively? I have googled on this and have found using mdadm --scan --assemble <list of fd devices>. Will this do it? I sure wouldn't want to lose my data on the array if possible. thank you, Phil
