    Require strong passwords with smbpasswd?

    I'm trying to get samba to require strong passwords (e.g., min length, case, digits, etc.). I've been trying to get smbpasswd to honor pam_cracklib, but it just seems to ignore any changes I make to /etc/pam.d/samba... Any suggestions on where to look? I've been googling for hours with no...

    Disable USB from task scheduler

    We have a system we need to have scheduled to go into standby at certain times, which is working except that we also have a USB device attached that won't let us go into standby. Different operating systems and manual user interaction are not an option, unfortunately. Anyone know of some sort...

    Propfind with xp systems

    I have a linux system running Apache and Samba for a network of windows workstations... The XP systems regularly poll the Apache server with &quot;PROPFIND /<samba share name>&quot;...

    File server security and authorized users

    Anyone looked at how to protect your file servers against unauthorized changes by an authorized user, etc.? This particular case is an engineering firm with a Samba fileserver... Because of the type of work, free access to most of the data on the server is generally required. Any...

    If you haven't heard... time to upgrade

    If you haven't already heard, there has been a remote command execution vulnerability found in all versions of Apache. Last week, GOBBLES released a proof of concept exploit to demonstrate that not only does the hole give root, but that it will give root on OpenBSD. This exploit is in the wild...

    default route goes missing

    twice in the last two weeks, I've had the default route disappear on my system. It happened once on Sunday at 4pm and again on Monday at 4am (a week later)... Doesn't seem to be tied to any cron jobs. Its a weekend, so there shouldn't be much activity on the system. There also aren't any logs...

    htaccess, no prompt for password

    I'm going nuts on this access control issue... Apache is running along happily, except that I can't set .htaccess restrictions on a directory. What am I doing wrong here...? I've even tried rebuilding it a few different ways. Anything else I should try? in httpd.conf: -- AccessFileName...

    RPC service disabled, can't view properties

    I somehow managed to disable the RPC service (I don't recommend doing this, by the way). Among other things, I now can't view the properties for this service to restart it. When I right-click and select properties, I don't see the properties window, but if I try to close the services window, I...

    Turning on DLT compression?

    Anyone know how to turn on compression for my Quantum DLT drive under linux? I've toyed around with mt, but I can't seem to find what I need. Quantum spent three weeks &quot;researching&quot; an answer for me, then finally (after I contacted them again) kinda shrugged and said &quot;I dunno&quot;.

    One of my mac users is having problems forwarding email attachments in outlook express.

    Excel updates modify time even when document not saved.

    One of my users has discovered some strangeness with excel 98 updating the modify times on files even when he selected not to save changes. Any idea what's up with that? He's recently been upgraded to 2k, so I don't know if that solved the problem, but its still an interesting question.

    'LI' on boot

    I'm having some strange trouble with lilo at the moment. On boot, I reach 'LI' and then lilo stalls. /boot is on /dev/hda1; with about 35MB currently on that partition. I've re-run lilo several times, compared lilo.conf to another working system, run fdisk /mbr and re-run lilo, installed the...
