I just did some more checking and found a hopeful posting at http://www.netsys.com/pamldap/2001/09/msg00009.html This indicates that pam_ldap will authenticate against a Win2K Active Directory, and would be worth a read.

The Samba route is an interesting one that would be worth looking into. It may be possible with the latest release of Samba to set it up as a BDC, and then to amend the /etc/pam.d/login file to authenticate against Samba. An alternative route... As I understand it, Active Directory is...

The problem is with the spaces in the names. Spaces within URLs should be encoded to (if memory serves) %20. If you are crafting the URL strings with your VBScript, then you will need to encode the space characters. There are other characters that also need "%"-encoding. You should...

The Linux USB site at http://www.linux-usb.org/ may be of help here. There is a link from the front page to a list of supported devices. I took a quick look, it lists the 2985L and 2986L as being supported and working, with the 3090 and 2990 listed as not working.

The best way to learn sendmail is to use it, I've found. The O'Reilly bat book is an invaluable aid in travelling down the rocky road of sendmail.cf mastery :)

Which OS are you using? "Standard" *nix boxes such as Solaris or HP/UX have the mailx command: cat /path/to/error/file | mailx -s"An error file subject line" Under Linux you could install "mutt", if mailx is not available: cat /path/to/error/file | mutt...

Do a search for RFC822, and you should find a page such as http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html This details the structure of email messages. The SMTP RFC (which details the conversations between mail SMTP mail servers) is RFC821, and you can find this at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html

What shows in the sendmail log? Under Linux this is usually /var/log/maillog - not sure what it will be under BSD. If sendmail is timing out, then you should get some kind of message in there. Also, have you considered looking at one of the mailing list managers such as majordomo for handling...

Try: more /etc/passwd more /etc/aliases And sometimes: more /etc/mail/virtusertable or more /etc/virtusertable

When I've compiled libraries from source in the past, I've usually found that they install into /usr/local/lib by default. This isn't in the standard library search paths, so you usually have a few choices. 1) If the compilation using the "configure" script, add...

There is an important security related caveat to the tip about adding "." to your $PATH. Let's say somebody manages to get a program onto your system and it's called "ls". When you run it, it emails your /etc/passwd out somewhere (or does something much worse), and then...

Usually when I see this happen the script is waiting for some input. Sometimes it's a &quot;Press <Return> to continue&quot; type message, sometimes it's the actual backup command saying &quot;Put a new tape in the drive and press <Return> to continue&quot; Check that the data you are backing...

Try &quot;od -tx <filename>&quot; - that should give you a hex dump.

Have you looked at the DBI and DBD::Oracle modules? You may find these easier to use than oraperl. Alternatively, load the .sql file into an array and try passing that as an argument to the ora_do command. For example: open(SQLFILE, &quot;</path/to/some.sql&quot;); @SQL_Array = <SQLFILE>...

Unfortunately there isn't a &quot;goto label&quot; type command in shell scripts, so a rewrite is probably needed. Speaking from my own experience, a rewrite would probably be a worth the effort. You'll appreciate it when it comes to altering the script in future. :-)

I know this is an old thread, but I'm playing catch up... If you ever need to back up a boot sector, you can try this: * Identify the partition that contains the boot loader. For example, /dev/hda1 * Use dd to take a backup of the boot sector: [tab]dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/hda1...

It's usually a lot safer to stick to the &quot;standard&quot; shell that root has been set up with. If you start using other shells, then you may find that root is running a shell that is dynamically linked. When you reboot the system, and the system tries to run things as &quot;root&quot...

Could you create a rule for sendmail.cf that would send a copy of any mail sent out to &quot;this@email.com&quot; to an administrator address? Or, maybe simpler, move /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe. Create a shell script along the following lines that will replace...

I'm sure it'll work, but just don't expect great performance. Even though Solaris is avaiable on Intel, I guess Sun see it as being a poor relation to SPARC. Code might compile on the Intel, but things are probably optimised for SPARC. If you have a major yearning to run Solaris, I can...

Something else to be aware of is hardware compression. A long time ago, in a job far, far away, we were sending out tapes to customers that had been created on a DDS2 drive on an IBM AIX server. The customers were using exactly the same servers and tape drives. After some in-depth checking...
