[K12OSN] SMBLDAP script with Fedora Core 4?

[dahopkins at comcast.net]

Chuck,

Unfortunately, the state firewall blocks any/all chat from the school and I can't figure out how to route the chat through the proxy.  I tried the smbpasswd -w somethingnew  late last night, but it didn't change anything (p.s. do not use an  & in the password, the shell screws it up unless you also esc it with \ )

I can get on the chat channel at home and will try to do so.  This means hauling the server to my house, reconfiguring my home network a little but que sera at this point.  takes about 1/2 hour to shut it down, lug it to the car, ....

Dave ...
