How do I connect an external Samba box to a Mac OS X Server running Open Directory (LDAP)? Samba v3 is running on Red Hat. I have SWAT setup and users can access the directory but there's no authentication yet. I want to connect it to our Mac OS X server running Open Directory, so that it has an LDAP backend. That way all authentication will be done on our LDAP server rather than the Samba box. All the informaton and documentation I've poured through have been for WinXP boxes and Active Directory setup. The documentation for Samba on Apple's website was for running Samba on the server itself rather than on an external box. I've played around the with the smb.conf file, setting various options and messing with the LDAP lines but I would like to know exactly how to set this up.

Is This The Case? Thanks.

Can I use a Linux Server as an Open Directory for XP? Let me put things simpler. I'm building a Linux server for a client, and the client wants to have 5 terminals running Windows XP. The way he wants his system to work is that when the XP user logs in. His complete user profile including desktop documents and any other files that are saved in his 'my documents area, are obtained from the server, yet saved locally for offline use. This is why he wants this system: If his computer disappears tomorrow, he can login from a new computer, and everything including the stupid little picture of his dog on his desktop will still be there on the new computer. This goes without saying, that if he saves something on c: separately, or on another partition it will be lost with the old computer. This is apparently native in Microsoft Server 2003, I just want to do this for free using open source software. Someone told me that you can use Samba to do this. From what I can tell, Samba only handles basic LDAP. Not complete Profiles with files.

WinXP: How do I open a certain directory in windows explorer from a batch file? I am using Windows XP and I would like to open a windows explorer instance starting in a certain directory while using the /e switch. My first attempt looked like this: start /max explorer.exe "D:\Files\Folder\Subfolder" That actually opens the directory I want it to open. My problem here is that I want to use the /e switch, because I think its annoying to click the folder-button every time. But when I phrased my statement like this: start /max explorer.exe /e "D:\Files\Folder\Subfolder" Then I got an error message telling me: "/e D:\Files\Folder\Subfolder" is not a directory or does not exist. So I tried this: start /max explorer.exe /e ,/select, "D:\Files\Folder\Subfolder" This does almost what I really want. But it doesn't open "Subfolder", it just selects it. Now what do I do, to make it open the specified directory and use the /e switch? P.S.: Please don't tell me to use ,/root, — I don't like what that does, because it doesn't allow me to switch to parent directories.

How to reduce the size of the pictures in the directory without actually opening them? I have a Kodak digital camera which captures photographs of size between 350kb to 1.5 mb.
