Browsing through a few shows that some have received replies, so all/most
of them have probably been read. Some should have been moved out of
incoming, at least one into accepted.

Yes, that is a conflict.

Sending to samba-patches makes it hard for it to be lost (assuming someone
goes through the backlog every now and then) while sending it to samba may
make it disappear unseen by the right people into some archive.

OTOH, sending it to samba exposes it to many more eyes. I doubt many
outside the core team goes through samba-patches looking for interesting
stuff.

Maybe you are supposed to send it to both places?


I have a pair of fixes for some minor smbmount things (no, not the
"disconnect smbmount from the kernel sources patch", btw I am getting more
support for that on linux-kernel in the "RLIM_INFINITY" thread as I write
this) that I'm almost ready to send somewhere, but I'm not sure who wants
it.

samba-patches? samba? both? either?

Hello,

What is probably happening when you telnet in is your bash profile sets
a path to your useraccount that is different from the path set when you
are root.

A couple ways to fix this are:

When you su to root, type
source ~/.bash_profile

or copy the .bash_profile from your ~root to ~my_account

or edit the the /etc/profile to include the location of useradd, which is
usually in /usr/sbin

Hope that helps,

Dave
