Yes. I want Ubuntu in Velvet. Here is the relevant part of my smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = VELVET
server string = Home base
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No

[Music]
comment = Shared Music
path = /shared/music
read only = No

And there are a bunch of other shares that follow. When I run smbclient, though, I get this:

Domain=[BLAISE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]

Where Blaise is the Ubuntu box, and Zoe the Vista one.

Samba is not picking up the configuration. Is there any chance that the computer hasn't been rebooted or samba re-init'd since making the change?

Nope. I reload after every edit. And it has picked up all the changes I've made wrt adding shares.

I'm not sure what is going on. The workgroup setting is correct. You might try setting..

domain master = yes
preferred master = yes

...to wrest control of VELVET from Vista and see if things straighten themselves out. It might take a minute or so after re-initing. Again, I'm not sure what is up, so this is just a guess.

Thanks. I'm making those changes and heading off to work.

If I wanted to do a paper on how the iPhone was designed, is there documentation out there or is it classified? I'd like to see prototypes, info about the process...

Hmm... didn't Wired do a big article a while back?

eta: This is it: [link]

Might be a good place to start....

neat trick I just accidently came across in Apple's Address Book. If you hold down the option button while arrowing down the list, if the contact is in a group, it will highlight. I found it very cool. I thought I'd share.

I spent 4.5 hours last night trying to set up my DSL. This was not helped by my ISP giving me the wrong %^&* password. Anyway, I've now got it working if I plug the ethernet cord directly into my laptop, but I can't get it to work with the airport. I used the airport before with my dialup just fine, but now, most of the time it doesn't recognize that the airport is there at all, much less connect to it. I'm using a MacBook with Tiger. Any suggestions?

I really have no idea what the appropriate thread for this announcement is - could be here, could be Natter, could be B&A:

NBC is auctioning off post-production & office equipment from Passions this Saturday.

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA - April 21, 2008 - NBC Universal Television DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group in partnership with Premiere Props, is holding an industrial auction featuring millions of dollars worth of high-end post production equipment from Universal Media Studios' daytime drama "Passions."

A wide variety of post production equipment, printers, copiers, sewing machines, power tools, saws, electric production golf and utility carts, an electric forklift, architectural copier, drafting tables and much more from "Passions," will be made available to the public.

Own the Xerox machine Passions scripts were copied on! The disc duplicator tower that once dubbed Passions dailies!

Anyway, it made me laugh.
