Installation and Upgrades / Re: VoIP + Card modem ISDN?
« on: August 27, 2011, 03:13:42 pm »
Hi!
I haven't used the voip features in Zentyal much, but I intensively use Asterisk and Asterisk distros for years and I would suggest you not to try to have your ISDN card within Zentyal. I think it is feasable, but probably not a good idea.
As is, Zentyal is made to connect one external VOIP provider to manage one DID for i/o calls.
If you have to manage your own ISDN lines and certainly more VOIP lines, you'd better have a look at Elastix or trixbox, which are very easy to maintain Asterisk distros and provide so much telephony features and options that Zentyal can't compare.
My 0.02 cents...

« on: August 27, 2011, 01:28:30 am »
Hi!
I finally got this working! And I may have an explanation why it didn't work at first...
To make it short, I had to reinstall LDAP after I had created my test users and shares. I used the command "/usr/share/ebox-usersandgroups/ebox-usersandgroups-reinstall", but - I can't remember precisely - the accounts were not really deleted OR they were deleted but not the users' homes... So finally I had UID & GID confusions and mismatches.
After I have deleted all the accounts, groups and shares manually and reset them, the logon script worked as expected.

Hi
maybe too late, but anyway :
I presume mydomain.org is already resolvable on the internet, maybe at your registrar or at your web-host level. That's fine...
For your lan, using Zentyal, you only have to create a dns zone for mydomain.org. Define all the LOCAL hosts you need in this zone (manually or thru dyndns on dhcp). This will only be used by your lan hosts/servers to resolve.
Make sure every machine in your lan can resolve this "local" mydomain.org.
Then you only have to add a record for "www" in "mydomain.org" zone and make it point to your webserver's ip address. That's it!

It seems you like it complicated when it can be so simple !
Make it work as it is meant to be, then get experienced and you can achieve your desires... if you still consider they are worth the efforts...
To answer your questions we need more accuracy when you detail your settings. For example, when you say "I have set the dns to 127.0.0.1", I wonder where ?
- in the network settings ? if yes, it's wrong
- in the dns server settings ? if yes, I wouldn't do that
- in the dhcp client options settings ? if yes, it's wrong
Try to make things in the right order... Does your Zentyal resolve what you want ? Yes or No ? If yes, next step... If no, it's useless trying to make your client resolve...
It's a good one ! I like your humor !

If desktop01 has a fixed ip, why not simply add a A record for it in your dns ?

It depends how the ipod is connected to your network :
- if wifi, then reserved static address thru DHCP should work
- if bluetooth, then it's in fact connected to your daughter's PC which acts as a gateway for the ipod, but I can't help you there, I'm not familiar with these toys...

Hi!
A DNS server is made to resolve FQDN hosts, for example desktop01.yourdomain.ext
If you want to resolve a hostname like "desktop01" you need :
- a "hosts" file on your server (containing the names and ip of your hosts) or
- a WINS server for Windows (which Samba can mimic) or
you may also define a default domain to search (dns and dhcp page), for example "yourdomain.ext"
This domain name will append automatically when you ping or need to resolve "desktop01"
BUT for this to work, you also need to activate the "dynamic dns options" in DHCP settings and to define the dynamic domain to use (which has to be defined in your DNS server).
This way, when your DHCP gives an IP address to "desktop01", it will also create a dynamic record within "yourdomain.ext" for this host in your DNS server.
Hope this helps

Hi!
Why not simply add an ethernet card to your Zentyal box ? You don't need this "internet switch" to use dual wan.
i.e. :
eth0 : lan
eth1 : sat
eth2 : 3G

Hi!
I guess you could try to assign a reserved (static) IP address to the ipod thru DHCP by using its MAC address

Installation and Upgrades / Re: UPS
« on: August 19, 2011, 09:48:58 am »
Hi!
If you only own/use APC UPSes, then APCUPSD is for you! It provides more specific options/features than NUT, but ONLY for APC models.
Very easy to install, several ways to monitor, locally or remotely. It also features a very efficient and multi-platform Server/Client mode to share your UPS with several machines. Finally, it offers a very reliable way to "administer" your UPS (recalibration, EEPROM editing, etc...) just like PowerChute (official APC management software).

I'm not following you there... This is 100% a Zentyal problem...
I could do more testing today... I have news... Tell you later... Busy right now
What if from your limited user account on the Windows XP workstation you try accessing the share from Windows Explorer:
\\server\data
Does it ask for a user id and password?
No

Here's the copy of /home/samba/netlogon/zentyal-logon.bat
Very basic stuff... I removed the part for mounting homeshares in W7... Useless for me.
Code: [Select]
@echo off
net time \\dwamsrv /set /yes
net use P: \\dwamsrv\public /persistent:no
net use S: \\dwamsrv\data /persistent:no
net use T: \\dwamsrv\applis /persistent:no

Ichat, here's what I did from scratch
- server is ASRock MB Socket 775, 2Go DDR3, Intel E5400 Dual Core
- RAID1 software for Swap and /
- install Zentyal 64bits from latest iso (last week)
- after install and updates, Zentyal shows version 2.0.22
- setup samba as PDC
- created one share in File Sharing : /home/samba/shares/data
- modified /usr/share/ebox/stubs/samba/logon.bat.mas to add : net use S: \\server\data /persistent:no
- restarted samba : /etc/init.d/ebox samba restart
- checked /home/samba/netlogon/zentyal-logon.bat : my net use is properly added at the end of Zentyal default script
- installed tofrodos package > todos /home/samba/netlogon/zentyal-logon.bat
- created one Administrator account in Users and Groups module
- created one User account
- no groups defined so far
- no quotas
- joined a freshly installed XP SP3 workstation to the domain : Welcome message
- opened a session with the Administrateur account : no problem, the S: share is mounted + home share (as wanted)
- opened a session with the User account : problem, the share S: is NOT mounted but home share is OK
- many many tests... checking permissions everywhere... reboots... re-everything many times... no results...
- smbd.conf seems correct, the [netlogon] section is zentyal's one, I did not change anything.
- if I give admin rights to the very same user, then everything works as expected...
- I also tried 2 more workstations to the same effect
My config as you can see is nearly Zentyal out of the box... I didn't modify the default Zentyal setup and config files, unless necessary...
The server is no longer at my workshop and due to this logon script problem, I didn't bother to setup a VPN or remote admin facilities, so I cannot simply copy and paste the several files this setup implies. I hope this is what you expected anyway... Let me know if you need anything.
TIA
