Does Shutdown Command Broadcast Warning To Samba Users?

Hi,
This may be silly but (paranoid as I am) I do find this strange, my laptop (Xubuntu) had an update earlier, and as I wanted to shutdown, the system wanted an authentication, I hit cancel and the system logged me out, I logged back in and did not have to authenticate anymore to shutdown...glitch or..."trouble"?
Thanks
Thor
PS - I ran RKhunter and it found nothing...

Dear Friends,

I am new to scripting. I want a help on script to schedule the shutdown and start up . I am using SUSE Linux system. Can some one guide me please

every night shutdown at 7pm & start it at 7am the next day during the weekdays. On the weekends, the server only needs to restart at 7am on Mondays.

Looking forward for help

Thank you

Regards

I am trying to upgrade/install Nvidia drivers. Instructions say that I need to shutdown x server to do so. How in the world do I do that? I can't seem to find any help for that on the net anywhere.

I'm struggling with Samba with a new NAS/Media server I am trying to build. I have created some shares on my Unbuntu server with Samba that are visible and browseable from my home Windows 8.1 clients but when I try to write to any of them I receive a "try again" error.

I want to be able to copy files from my PC to my new Unbuntu server's shares. For now I have one user only on my Unbuntu server that's in the sudo group. From Windows I have tried to map network drive with "different credentials" but no matter what I try from Windows I still can't copy or move files from Windows to the shares.

Thank you

Linux 14.04 server set up following instructions on http://www.havetheknowhow.com

I have been trying to connect to the samba shares from two windows machines. The server is visible but when I try to connect it requests a logon and no matter what I enter it fails. I have been using webmin to set this up and the samba version is 4.1.6-ubuntu.
One note, webmin did not show any samba user groups.

all systems show "WORKGROUP" as the workgroup

I got this message when I issued users-admin in terminal.So I wanna know how to fix it. My machine is running Debian 7.5 Weezy + kali 1.0.9.
Thanks in advance.


(users-admin:11501): Gdk-WARNING **: users-admin: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Hey guys, I got samba working and I am able to access my files, however I am now trying to learn security with it. i am pretty much trying to allow certain groups access certain files. if you look at samba group you can see that I have @sambausers group to access sambagroup directory.

I have a user called sambatest01. the user can access "samba users only" but the user can access all of the other files as well. what is a correct set up on the other smb.conf to prevent users from accessing this? I cant seem to find a proper set up


[drivers]
path = /files/drivers
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
guest only = no


[samba users only]
path = /files/sambagroup
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
guest only = no
write list = @sambausers
valid users = @sambausers
