I'm a big disapointed with samba 3 upper of version 3.0.4(tested on 3.0.22 and 3.023c), using ldap as backend, I don't have a solution to split users and computers accounts... This is very annoying :(
Even if I put in smb.conf :
add machine script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w '%u' ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
it doesn't work, it seems that this is never took in consideration. (I even tryed the old way to add machines, replacing '%u' by '%m').

After having listened to "Comme un Lundi" on pureFM(1) dedicated on the personal management method called GTD, I decided to search for an OSS project that could help me to start with that method.

Work around to use my usb bluetooth dongle to browse files from in my mobile and retrieve them.
I did several test to be able to transfert files from my mobile to my laptop and vice-versa. The command line solution was ok but I prefer a gui solution to be able to browse also the files.
I was looking how to hack thunderbird to add an extra header when I compose a new mail.
I started this with some success only to display it but not yet so add the new field in the header when the mail is sent.
Then I found mnenhy (1), this is a very nice project that allows me to add what I want... but I'd like to link that new extra field to an openLDAP and this is not yet possible... If I've time I'll try to fix this.
As I received too much spam as comment into my blog, I decided to remove that feature and I decided also to "blog back". Something I would like to share with all the rock'n'roll fans around is the podcasting(1) of very interesting emission of Classic 21.

OX rocks !! ;-)
It's a very nice product, very complete and usefull. It works also without any problem with lookout(tm)... and this is pitty... it works much better with a close source client than an open source one :(
The administration part is also a problem for users that are not the best friends of command line tools and ldap.
During this installation ldapvi was my best friend ! And I also wrote a patch, a new command line tool and a text based admin interface : oxadmin (0.2 and only in french for the moment)
Those are in available at my contributions page
