Does the kid really have to connect to then internet? If this PC is meant for the kid, then just put some kiddie software on it and disable internet access. Just a suggestion though. :D

hi, have you tried removing the default 10.100.188.1 0.0.0.0 UG 10 0 0 eth0 route?

try to have an account or that account ( on XP) to have a password. That might be why samba won't let you in.

Yeah, I need those, uid and gid since I used this as authentication on linuxes and mail server. We usually used command line but since some from the company needs to have a Web UI, so I have to make it with webmin. This ldap server now handles almost 3000 users authenticating on it. Yeah its cool.!

Hi Ian, thanks for the reply anyway, I just found what seems to be lacking on webmin ldap module paramaters, I just need to add the posixAccount as the object class for new users field. Now I'm able to add or modify ldap users via webmin. Thanks.

I encountered the above error when trying to add a user, though I can add a group on ldap but when trying to add a user, that's the error. Any idea on that one? really appreciate any help.. TIA

Thanks for the reply Ian, There's really a small chance as mentioned on horde website to sync MS outlook calendar to Horde, currently am trying it but sad to say, no success so far. There's a third party software/plugin for outlook that should be installed on MS Windows. BTW, the plugin is funambol. Really appreciate if you or someone might able to make it work then share it here. Thanks :P

anybody have any idea or successfully done it?

here's mine, considering the cdrom entry /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,sync,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 My box does not have a floppy, and am using mandriva 2007.1

And It would be better if you mount nfs shared folder with automount or autofs, that way, you dont have to make a permanent mount which sometimes can cause the other host to freeze when the nfs-server being accessed is not accessible. I mean with autofs, you can set a time-out so it will released the network mounted drive when being idle for certain period (set) and will re-mount it on demand. Please forgive me, it should be another topic, but sort of related to what you want... just a suggestion though....

swap location does not matter on wether you can boot or not on mandriva, though you only need one. You should be able to identify the partitions of your mandriva, where the / or boot been located, or did you just use a single partition for your mandriva during install? if yes, where it is located below? Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 7077 56845971 83 Linux /dev/sda2 7078 9729 21302190 5 Extended /dev/sda5 7078 8096 8185086 83 Linux /dev/sda6 9554 9729 1413688+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 8097 8456 2891668+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda8 8457 9553 8811621 83 Linux btw, are you finished installing mandriva?

here's my grub.conf title Mandriva kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=/dev/sda7 initrd (hd0,4)/initrd.img hd0,4 - is my /boot and /dev/sda7 is my / partition. make sure that you specify the kernel image. And I think you don't need the chainloader part, its for windows boot if not mistaken

hmmn... well, you can configure both the other way around, nfs (server-client / client-server). Another way to access / manage both pc, enable ssh daemon on them, that way, you can remote access on each side.. just enable it /etc/init.d/sshd start if not mistaken, it's already enabled by default. then you can access your other pc via konqueror, open it up then at the url, type: sftp://ip-add-of-other-pc and it will ask you a username and password, those are the user/passwd of the remote machine. that's another way of accessing/sharing your pc

just a suggestion, since you already setup the other pc as an nfs server, what if you will create a folder on that PC and make that one folder a repositories of files you want to access on both pc... assuming that you have setup an nfs rw share. On your nfs server, you can access that locally, and from your other end, you can access read and write on that remotely, mounting that just like a local folder, then thats it, you have a folder being access on both machine.. you don't need to create share on both, unless on some circumstances.. :D

Using authconfig, there's an option to chose both local and ldap. In Mandriva, using drakauth, there's no option to choose both, that may be the problem, you have to manually edit the file /etc/pam.d/system-auth . Try to compare yours on the above quoted. On my desktop (mandriva), I authenticate to local and winbind (AD 2003) and here's my mandriva /etc/pam.d/system-auth #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so likeauth nullok auth sufficient pam_winbind.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so account sufficient pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_winbind.so use_first_pass account required pam_deny.so password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=2 dcredit=0 ucredit=0 password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix.so just try...

have you try to urpmi xfs you might have deleted it also... then make sure /etc/init.d/xfs start

and again, log files help a little... :P

portmap is a service which you should start first as nfs requirement.. chkconfig portmap on then service portmap start or /etc/init.d/portmap start - about samba, portmap is not related on it, just make sure you have samba-server installed, not the samba-client only [root@aioshin ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba samba-client-3.0.24-2.2mdv2007.1 samba-common-3.0.24-2.2mdv2007.1 samba-server-3.0.24-2.2mdv2007.1 Peace! :P

it maybe not the .kde settings, it may be the .mozilla setting. you may try to remove or rename the file .mozilla or .firefox, whichever is related to the mozilla-firefox settings in your $HOME dir and see what happens next.

you may be should try to check your log files when executing those commands, to give you some clue...

building fileslist... You may just have to wait.. that might be due to large storage being backup, that was why the waiting time took longer...

I have tried it on Centos5, using the kiosktool and partially working, I can now Control the KDE Environment of a particular users that belong to a certain group where the policy being implemented... though I need to dig more on its configurations, but at least there's a chance. :D

have anyone from here tried this? I have read that kiosk admin tool will do help this kind of setup. When tried at my Mandriva desktop, it seems always failing, anyway, am still exploring it, just an advance query if someone from here have tried it already and implemented it in replacement to AD group policy alike. really appreciated any inputs.. TIA :D

try to install the qt-devel packages

No idea... but as we know, gaim is now pidgin, so there might be some code changes being made, and I have'nt seen any update from the chix author. You may try their Java Player instead.
