Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I just included 'VerifyreverseMapping No' inside
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and when I tried to restart the sshd it says :
=========================================
Starting sshd:/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 63: Deprecated option
VerifyreverseMapping
=========================================
Can you please advice what is the correct way to disable it.
thanks

While I do not normally recommend using statically compiled binaries or
installing programs that are not RPMS, in this case there is no real
choice, other than breaking your system by upgrading qt ... which I
would never recommend.
I can not make a "Redistributable" RPM, as Skype is not GPL ... so
please don't ask :D
But, what you can do is download the Linux "Static" version:
http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-static
You can put it in any directory initially (you will want to save it, I
personally put all non-RPM installed software in a directory under
/root/ so that I know what is installed ... Then you need to untar the
file like this (you need to be root to do this):
====================================
COMMANDS
====================================
tar -xvjf skype_static-<version>.tar.bz2
cd skype_static-<version>
mkdir /usr/share/skype
cp -a * /usr/share/skype/
cd /usr/share/skype/
mv skype /usr/bin/
mv skype.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
chown <your-username>.<your-group> skype.desktop
mv skype.desktop ~<your-username>/Desktop
====================================
END COMMANDS
====================================
You should now see skype on your desktop, and you can right click the
launcher and change the icon (pictures in /usr/share/skype/icons) now.

did you do more than just think about it?
just what do you want for a 1st choice?
advantages of /home2 is you have a user home directory for all your
flavors sitting in 1 partition that will not get erased because
you are allocating it's own mount point when you install.
because you are using thunderbird for email client, you can set up
Mail, ImapMail, News paths in there own director,
same applies to firefox bookmarks, passwords, certificates, etc.
such as;
/home/moz/
/moz/firefox
/moz/thunderbird
then link them to your 'flavor' user directory. same goes for your
address book files abook.mab and abook-XX.mab, and other directories
and files that are not path critical.
only thing that some might call a disadvantage is all moz progs will
be same, unless you happen to need something in an add-on that is
path specific.
there are many other progs that are not 'hard set' with path names.

Trying to keep this alive - I'm up against a wall here!
I can use smbclient and not only see files, but actually download them (with
get) but I can't mount said Windows share locally to a drive - I universally
get a "permission denied" error.
1) I've tried mounting via a line in fstab.
2) I've tried smbmount with every option I could find.
3) I've tried using mount with every option I could find.
How could it work in smbclient with the same credentials, but not as an smb
mount? Is there something about how the Linux localhost is being announced,
perhaps?

Are you sure you did not get the Dynamic instead of the Static version
of skype ... or maybe somehow get the version out of your RPM.
=======================================
qt is this:
Summary : The shared library for the Qt GUI toolkit.
Description :
Qt is a GUI software toolkit which simplifies the task of writing and
maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications
for the X Window System.
Qt is written in C++ and is fully object-oriented.
=======================================
Basically ... all of KDE and many other applications are built using QT
... and they would all need to be rebuilt if you upgraded QT. Only a
couple high visibility packages (like kernel, python, gcc and glibc) are
more important to the operation of your workstation than QT.

Well I went ahead and changed rc.local instead of rc.sysinit (which i

and it worked!
I will investigate udev at a later time, but at least now I can see my

No offense but LOL same problem I had with Linux clients. Here is what I did;
The only way I got this to work is add the mount entry to fstab.. auto-mount would not work right it would end up hanging the Linux client.
//ethans27/SAN1 /mnt/SAN1 cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=nobody,password=nobody 0 0
BTW I'm forcing the use of a specific user in my smb.conf file. I see you have force group but you may have to include the force users=.
One irritating thing I come to find out is the directoru perms have to coexist with whats in your smb.conf.
[root@ethan ~]# rpm -q samba
samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1
A gentle reminder please :)
