We backup a set of virtual machines to an external USB drive using rsync -a. The source directory is 145G as reported by du -sh, but the target is reporting 181G.
The two file systems are ext3 and the block size is the same, so can someone explain what the discrepancy is?
I have an Ubuntu server joined to our office Active Directory domain (Windows 2008) and it all seems happy. I can ssh to the server using my AD credentials and home directories get created and all is fine.
I want to share a directory out from the server and use AD authentication (security = ads) using Samba.
Following the docs, I got to the situation where I can see the share externally, but my AD credentials do not allow me to connect.
Using the same credentials from the server itself works using mount.cifs -- i.e. I can mount \\localhost\share using domain\me
I cannot get it to work from my desktop using my AD credentials, but I can connect using a set of Unix credentials so it seems that Samba can't resolve my AD details, but that confuses me as I can use AD credentials using mount.cifs as stated above.
Is there something about the way Windows provides the credentials that Samba doesn't understand?
Bonus question:
I haven't set up Subversion on the server yet, but when I do will I be able to use AD credentials to authenticate on HTTP access via Apache?
We have employees using VPNs on Netgear routers to access the office. We also have VPNs set up so we can access some clients and our remotely hosted servers.
Where the system falls down is that our remote workers cannot access the client networks. I'm assuming I have to configure their local routers to use a static route through our office to get to them, but I can't work it out.
Is what I'm trying even possible? Or will the VPN end point reject the packets anyway?
Example:
Home (192.168.1.nn) ---> Work (192.168.2.nn) --> Remote Server (10.0.1.1)
There are hardware VPNs in place between Home and Work and between Work and Remote
How can I configure a route so that access to Remote is possible from Home. Will I need to re-configure the VPN between Work and Remote, or will it Just Work?
Thanks.
