After a bunch of hours of testing and retesting i found out that the DNS was faulty.
The first server had it’s own dns server running on localhost, the second one (the one with the delays) connected to our provider’s dns.
I’ve installed a bind nameserver on the second server and all is ok now.

Hope it helps.

If  you want install mondo using apt-get you’ll have to add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/debian 5.0 contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/debian 5.0 contrib

Then run apt-get update and apt-get install mondo.
That’s it.

The plugin is easy to integrate but a little tricky to configure. There are 2 places where you need to edit:

1) The tinyMCE init function where you’ll have to add:

tinyMCE.init({
mode : “textareas”,
theme : “advanced”,
plugins : “Archiv”,
Archiv_settings_file : “/abs/path/to/config.php”,
theme_advanced_buttons1_add : “Archiv_files,Archiv_images”
});
2) The config file of the plugin in which the paths are required to be full paths not relative but i’ve tricked them like this:

# full path to upload files to and show files from
‘upload_path’            => $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. ‘uploaded/’,
# full URI to upload directory
‘upload_uri’            => ‘http://’. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. ‘/uploaded/’,

This should get you up and running. Tune the rest of the config options to suit your needs and enjoy this wonderful plugin. Many thanks to the authors.

First of all you’ll have to update your Xp to SP3, otherwise you’ll have issues installing the Conexant Audio Card and Modem Card. Also you’ll have issues with the Wireless Driver which will connect only to WPA enabled routers not WPA2/PSK.

When installing the Wireless Driver do it manually from the Device Manager instead of using dell’s setup.

You can find the archive here ( www.ithowto.ro/download/vostro_1015_xp_drivers_all.zip ).

Good luck.

Copy & paste this in to a file test.php on your server and run it on your favourite browser.

If the current script owner is the same as the user that php runs as, than suPHP works.

<?php

echo ‘Current script owner: ‘ . get_current_user(). ‘<br>’;
echo ‘UID:’ . getmyuid() . ‘<br>’;
echo ‘GID:’ . getmygid() . ‘<br>’;
echo ‘PID:’ . getmypid() . ‘<br>’;
echo ‘<br>’;
echo “PHP runs under the user: [" . system('whoami') . "]<br>”;

?>

To fix this add a html comment inside the div:

<div id=”smalldiv”> <!– –> </div>d

If you can’t find this utility install it using apt-get on debian: apt-get install hdparm

then at the console type: hdparm -I /dev/sda an it should list something like this:

I made the change, restardet apache and all went as it should.

i could ping the domain clients using their netbios name ( my pdc was also running as a wins server )

i could acces the clients by using their netbios name ( eg. \\netbiosname )

I just couldn’t browse the domain ( the list with computers on my domain ).

The problem was caused by samba working only on port 445. I’ve enabled samba to work on port 139 also and the error was gone.

REMEMBER! THIS WORKS WITH A LINUX SAMBA DOMAIN running with a TDBSAM Backend, If you have a WINDOWS DOMAIN or a LINUX DOMAIN with LDAP BACKEND this WON’T WORK !!!! Also this howto was only tested with WINDOWS XP. I don’t know if it’ll work in vista but i think it should.

First of all you have to login to the computer with a local administrative account ( eg. Administrator ).

Go to -> Start -> run > and type regedit.

Go to this key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName]

Under Computer Name you’ll have 2 subfolders: ActiveComputerName and ComputerName, and in the 2 subfolders you’ll see the key ComputerName with the value being your current computer name. Change both of these values to the new name you want for your machine.

Reboot. ( this is the only time you need to reboot ).

Go to your linux domain controler and search for the smbpasswd file. This file stores both the computer and user accounts. Find your old computer’s name in this file. It should look something like this :

GKOO$:1396:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:578E3D23GF5C1AA7588D3295281282EB:[W          ]:LCT-00000000:

Change it’s name to the new name you assigned previously to your windows machine. Be sure to keep the $ mark at the and of the name ( the $ sign means this account is a machine account not a user account ) and also all the other numbers following your computer name.

Next create a machine account on your linux box with the new computer name:

useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null gkoonew$ ( remember to always attach the $ sign to your machine account name ).

That’s it you should now be able to login to your domain with the new computer name. If you can’t watch the samba logs, they’ll tell you a lot. Also you can remove the old machine account from your linux users database to keep things more organised.

Good luck, GKoo.
