Re: [Wlug] Samba config help

by Tim Keller

Pete, It might help us a bit if you were to stick a copy of your smb.conf file somwhere we could look at it... In my experiences setting up samba, I've hit a couple of odd problems.. 1. When working with samba I've found selinux to be the bane of my existence so I've been turning it off. 2. Samba is pretty good about logging any problems it encounters... I hope that helps... Tim.

Re: [Wlug] Samba config help

by Mike Leo

although I love money, I bet we can solve this via email. You can email me the money if you want. You have 1 CentOS server on it with data you want to share to your Windows machines? If you create the share in /etc/samba/smb.conf, create a few users on CentOS and run some samba-add(?) commands you should be all set. if you are talking about having the Windows users log into Windows machines with LDAP accounts that live on the CentOS box, that's a different story. ________________________________ From: Pete Wason <codevark(a)aim.com> To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 10:54:33 AM Subject: [Wlug] Samba config help I wil PAY someone to come to my house and help me configure Samba on my CentOS server.

Re: [Wlug] GIMP question

by Richard Klein

Ah, okay. I had been putting a jack-o-lantern where I wanted it, duplicating the layer, and then moving the new layer somewhere else. That worked, but it's tedious, and you end up with a ton of layers. Your way works better. -- Thanks!

presuming your maps will printout on something like 8.5x11 sheets: Make your map in the GIMP; Right-click, do Add layer (yes) Arrange your clippy jackolanterns as needed on this layer (rescale the first one as needed, then keep it copied to the clipboard or in another file). You can add or delete on this layer here without disturbing the map below. When you have the jackolanterns where you want them, Right-click, do Layer> Merge down. Then finalize any other changes to your map, then Save... you should be ready to print then. If there's more to it, give me a call.
