I can confirm that this works!

Well whataya know...seems the simple things (uninstalling, re-installing) is sometimes the best answer. I had thought I did do this, but I don't think I purged...

Well noted. Thank you again for your help in pointing me in the right direction and guiding my learning in this experience. I have definitely discovered a whole new aspect of Linux I had no idea was...

Files are written to and changed daily in this particular share.

I like the idea of placing hard links within a secure directory. I might implement this as a security precaution.

As for...

I have it set in Samba to force the user to root and the group to the appropriate group for all files within the share directory.


A disgruntled employee could be caused by numerous things:...

Okay, this is my scenario...

I administer an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server for a local police station. This network is setup on a Samba domain with roaming profiles and file shares. A particular file...

Yes, but the file itself would still be linked; it'd just be an empty file, but the file itself would still exist. I'm trying to find a way to keep non-owners of the file from unlinking it.

So, in essence, there isn't a way to have a directory where a group can share files, but be denied the privilege to delete them if they're not the owner/creator of said file? And that's because they...

Hello all!

I have a question I was wondering you all could answer for me. It deals with the sticky bit with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Samba, and a Windows client environment.

I have an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS...

Does anyone have perhaps even a tiny little inkling of an idea as to what may be going on..?

Hello all!

I installed exim4 on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server to serve as my MTA. I followed this tutorial to set it up:
Configuring exim4 in Ubuntu to use GMail for SMTP

What's got me scratching...

Oh, my bad. I was creating a Perl script to edit user information, so I guess that's why I automatically thought to put this question under this particular thread.

Stack Overflow it is! Thanks.

So I'm guessing that's a no? :(

Hello all,

I was wondering if there was a way to change the default GECOS fields on a user. Now, I don't mean change their name, number, shell, etc. What I mean is change the field-type/name...

No soundcard, no. No need for one.

My main problem is that the program won't run. And if by some miracle I do get it to run, it's only for 6 minutes, then it crashes. (and I do mean only 6...

That's pretty much how I feel at this point.

Yes, I've tried the methods described in the thread you have posted (albeit after you had posted it, thx btw), and to no avail.

It took this long because I've been fighting with my PC to get the...

Anyone? Anything?

Hey guys, I'm having some difficulties getting a program to run under a remote, headless Ubuntu 10.04 server.

I actually seemed to of found a work-around. If I use:

Ok, new problem. I had ran winconsole fine until just a bit ago. The command emulated the DOS window fine, and displayed the information that the sever was giving, allowing me input and everything....

Yes, I am accessing the server via SSH. I do have VNC on the server as well. However, what I'm looking for is a way to execute a Windows EXE file without the need of having to VNC into the server to...

I already have xorg installed. Do I need to run another command before startfluxbox?

Ok, I installed it. This is what I get:



user@server:~# startfluxbox
xmodmap: unable to open display ''
Error: Couldn't connect to XServer

I got an error when trying it. Here's what I did:



user@server:~# apt-get install dosbox
