Installation and Upgrades / Re: hide samba share ebox-internal-backups

« on: August 17, 2010, 12:43:58 pm »

When you enable file-sharing, ebox creates some shares: ebox-internal-backups and ebox-quarantine.

When you connect to the samba server, these and the user created shares are shown in explorer, finder or nautilus (os specific). But I only want to show the created shares to the users, not the administrations shares (ebox-internal-backups and ebox-quarantine)

Can this be done?

ifconfig on the terminal, look for eth0

you have to create a service called rdp with these ports (5000-5030) enabled and then add a packet filter in the firewall

I don't understand how I must implement this fix  ...

Could someone explain what I must change in the slapd.conf.mas ?

And where in the /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file I must insert the text? Where is the existing index line? I can't find the file /etc/ldap/slapd.conf...

Hi!

Yeah, we are going to fix that, thank you for pointing it out (and for the fix). While we fix it and get a new version with the fix, you can change it in the slapd.conf template:

Code: [Select]

/usr/share/ebox/stubs/usersandgroups/slapd.conf.mas
That will be overwritten only when installing a new ebox-usersandgroups version.

Cheers

I've noticed these errors in my log too. Not having the attributes indexed, should in theory slow down ldap lookups however in practice it probably wouldn't be noticed unless your LDAP tree was huge!

The correct fix would be to include these attributes in the list of indexes in the /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. I've tried doing this myself manually, and it works:

Add the following line to /etc/ldap/slapd.conf (under the existing 'index' line):

index uid,memberUid      eq

Then issue the following commands:

sudo /etc/init.d/slapd stop
sudo slapindex
sudo chown openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap/*
/etc/init.d/slapd start

This will add the missing indexes, and stop the errors in /var/log/syslog....however Ebox reverts the changes to /etc/ldap/slapd.conf when it next writes to the file.

EBOX devs, could somone please update the code relating to initialization of the slapd.conf file to include all the appropriate indexes....so these errors don't get logged anymore.

Thanks,
Ian.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: nslookup on hosts from DHCP leases

« on: July 02, 2009, 07:17:48 pm »

Well I found that first I had to activate the dhcpclient to send the hostname:

uncomment and change:
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
#send host-name "nameofpc";

Then I see the hostname set in the dhcp leases file:
...
client-hostname "nameofpc";
...

But it's not known by the ebox DNS server in a nslookup. What's the next step?

Installation and Upgrades / nslookup on hosts from DHCP leases

« on: June 30, 2009, 10:49:35 pm »

I don't know where to start, but how can I lookup the IP or hostnames from a client that obtained his IP from the Ebox DHCP server?

I know that a Windows network adds the dhcp clients or in another way to the ldap (active directory)....

I want to accomplish a network where all the dhcp clients are known by the ebox DNS, so I can ping, ftp, ssh, file acces, etc... all the clients

Is this possible?

yes, after a restart, Ebox rewrites the file, so you have to add it after restarting EBox

did you try to reset the domain SID:

sudo net getlocalsid

ebox-fix-sid <sid>

search for "ebox-fix-sid " for more information

there is also some issue with setting the share access control permission to an user. It doesn't work, but setting the access to group most of the time does work.

The problem is solved by manually do the sid fix mentioned before. I will post some result when I add some new users...

Some other question: there are some folders that always show up: printers (without enabled the printer module), ebox_internal_backups and the user home folder. Is there way to hide this?

Thnx!

Installation and Upgrades / BUG: Can not add "file system path" for new samba shares

« on: December 05, 2008, 09:22:15 am »

I have the same problem (ubuntu 8.10 x86, ebox 0.12):

share path entry text box disappear when choosing File system path.

The post by masmi01 is useless....which folder?, where? in addition of which?

So is this a bug? Or just a not so good documented configuration issue?

« on: November 28, 2008, 01:15:13 pm »

I have the same issue...

I have configured allowed any tot any in from outbox to external, but the logs shows also drops for the eth0 to any....

Also I find the log viewer a bit to basic. It should be nice if there was a column in the log that shows which rule is applied to the DROP decision...
