To use Ubuntu (hoary or breezy) we need:

  • the Linux installations to use NT logins
  • the Linux stations automatically mount their home shares from our NT domain’s file server (a linux box using Samba 3).

HOWTO configure a NFS service on SME Server

August 29, 2006 in SME Server

SMEServer

Goal:
We want to add a NFS service on a running SME Server install, to transform SME into a NAS-enabled server for our Linux/*BSD boxes (NAS aka Network Area Storage). For this purpose, i added a hard disk dedicated to the NFS into my server, which is entirely formatted as one big ext3 partition mounted onto /mnt/exports. DISCLAIMER !! Whereas it’s a largely used protocol, NFS is sometimes not considered secure. Care to use it only on a well-controlled LAN, and not to export all your datas to the outside internet.

August 18, 2006 in Linux, SME Server

mysql_100x52-64.gif

I recently made the stupid mistake of changing the root password of MYSQL on my SME-server. The biggest problem was that I after the change couldnt log in to MYQL with the web based administration tool PHPMyAdmin.
After mych searching on the internet I found the following sollution in the bug tracker at contribs.org:

http://contribs.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=778

To just re-initialize the root password, you can do:

cd /service/mysqld
runsvctrl d .
cat set.password | /usr/libexec/mysqld –bootstrap \
–user=mysql –skip-grant-tables
runsvctrl u .

SME Server 7 password check and settings

March 15, 2006 in Linux, SME Server

Hvordan endre passordinnstillinger i SME 7 til å kunne benytte svak sikkerhet. Greit for å overføre brukerkontoer fra SME server 6.

http://contribs.org/modules/phpwiki/index.php/SME%20Server%207%20password%20check%20and%20settings

the passwordstrength db has been setup to require thefollowing

Admin=strongIbays=strongUsers=strong

Before there were no password checks in place for any ofthem.
