Samba security
Hi I want our Samba server setup to allow any PC to access the share. At the moment we have a list of IPs that are allowed to access the share but since we are on DHCP the IPs change quite often. This is the setup: # IBM_PROLOG_END_TAG [global] workgroup = vwza.emea.vwg security = user map to... -
Copying a user profile
Hi guys, I tried to change his password again, for some reason it worked now. I logged in and everything seems fine.

AIX image backup
I found out today that it is not a NIM client to the master server. Is it best practice to set it up as one and to then do what you suggested, as i just ran into some other problems when i attempted that. My point is, should i explore that as an option rather than something else? -

AIC prompts
I think it's fixed now. In .dtprofile, the line DTSOURCEPROFILE=true was commented out. I uncommented the line, logged out and logged in again and now it is working. Thank you for all your help. -
