Juju charm security for Ubuntu
Discuss ways to improve charm security and security processes.
We will have a lot of different upgrade paths towards 14.04, e. g. 12.04 pure, then the various 12.04.x installations with the Q/R/S enablement stacks, and so on. Right now, an apt-get dist-upgrade from 12.04 LTS to saucy is broken in many ways (backported X.org stack, lots of file conflicts, etc.).
While testing Server ISO our test cases are pretty sparse. We should brainstorm some more ideas to improve the quality of our testing of server ISO.
Upstream projects such as PHP and Apache prefer that users who are reporting bugs with their software to use the latest unmodified software in order to test fixes. We should provide a PPA for users to install unmodified upstream software so we can provide quality bug reports for our upstreams.
Server QA workflow for Ubuntu
The server team is spending alot of time triaging incoming bugs and keeping on top of the number of bugs can become difficult. This session will be a discussion on how we can improve the workflow for our team members and have a better response to our user base.
We should make it easier to use puppet and provide reciepes for common workloads of Ubuntu server
This has been discussed a few times on the forums. The idea is that NFS be included and somewhat preconfigured (as Samba already is) in the TKL Fileserver appliance. NFS is a far superior filesharing system for Linux to Linux networking.
Samba-Client for Moovida
Integrating the GIO/GVFS for Samba shares
* Improve fileshare property UI * KCM FIlesharing * WebDav * Netatalk
There are many different kinds of network authentication in use today. Ubuntu should be easily configured to use any of these out of the box, without asking any questions for the default local configuration. In order to accomplish this, there should be a single utility, similar to Fedora's authconfig, that interface...
Kubuntu should simplify Samba integration for file sharing working out of the box.
This session will discuss potential new server stacks that are not covered elsewhere during UDS. Please feel free to suggest anything (add to the whiteboard below) and come prepared to discuss it (including necessary unpackaged dependencies) during the session.
easy-file-sharing for Ubuntu
It should be easy to share files with others on the same local network * avahi-based solution? * share protocol - samba, ftp, http, webdav? * what do windows and os x use? * smbpasswd GUI
This specification eliminates the need to add samba users from the command line so that users can log into samba as soon as it is installed and never need to use the terminal and provides a method for users to enable sharing of [homes] from the GUI.
Smb Method for Soter
Although a risky one there could possibly be a method that mounts a smb share via samba and do a copy, then unmount it. Great care will have to be taken with this one though!
Currently, if you just want to send a file from one computer to another, this always requires a certain extent of configuration. One can either send a file over ftp, samba, nfs, e-mail or instant messaging. All of these methods require some configuration. It would be quite easy to start a server under a user's accou...
I created a SMB share on my Ubuntu Linux 5.10 with the shares graphical administration tool, but I dit not have access to it because no user was declared for Samba. I had to use smbpasswd in a terminal window to create a Samba user. I think a "human being" who's not aware of the technical background could not do it ...
Kubuntu and KDE4 don't have an easy file sharing support for modern releases of samba. The current samba UI for KDE is unmaintained and doesn't work as expected. Added to this, it's purpose is to maintain an smb.conf file instead oif using the "net usershare" functions to make file sharing easy from a user perspecti...
10.10 Maverick Meerkat for Ubuntu Russian Remix creation
Какие изменения вносить в Ubuntu 10.10, чтобы получить Russian Remix
Create a NAS storage appliance for TurnKey Linux
networkBoy from slashdot suggested we build a turn-key NAS system: "Something like the Linksys nas, but on steroids and not sucky. That allows adding drives on the fly via SATA, samba server and web UI."
Samba can be used as a domain controller but configuring such a beast is really hard work. A general network services appliance preconfigured as a drop in replacement for a windows domain controller and general authentication server would be really useful. Notes/discussion on wiki whiteboard (specification).
What can we do to improve the Server Team profile within the Ubuntu community and in the OSS at large? How can we get more contributor started? Different roles for community members, need to define the tasks to cover for each role. Need to come up with metrics in order to measure progress and reward them. Need to c...
We need a GUI tool to configure SAMBA shares in Ubuntu. Currently it requires editing /etc/samba/smb.conf which can be black magic for the average Joe user. This spec is for such a tool which will allow an average user to add/remove SAMBA shares easily.
How can we come up with a way to run test suites on (to be) published server package using the cloud? 1. identify potential test suites for important packages related to ubuntu-server: smbtorture for samba, imap/pop stress testing for dovecot, apache2 stress testing, phoronix test suites, openldap, mysql, postgresq...
With the inclusion of Samba4, Ubuntu still lacks of a graphical interface to manage a domain directory, including LDAP, Samba, DHCP, DNS, etc. For administrators coming from the Windows world a graphical interface is a must. In the past some tools like SWAT did this job but they have become obsolete with the release...
Active Directory security service for generic driver for OpenStack Shared File Systems Service (Manila)
The goal is to create a CIFS helper that will allow user verification against the Active Directory service. This could be achieved by setting up the Samba service to join the AD domain.
Samba currently provides the technology to join systems to an Active Directory domain but leaves the full system configuration in the handles the host's admin. There should be one application (including a CLI and GUI interface) to join the host to the domain and manage all the necessary system configuration. The...
* package manager * fix kcm locale so it sets $LANG * Language-selector dead, reborn? * implement wireless setup in ubiquity * samba sharing * Printer Tools * Speedup KDE * video player * vlc, phonon-vlc * kubuntu-notification-helper * package owncloud? * touchpad config * plasma media centre
A method which enables a system administrator to enable central authentication of desktop via SAMBA or OpenLDAP. The YAST-SAMBA and YAST-OPENLDAP tools provide this functionality very effectively. A GUI option write from install to indicate the source of authentication "/etc/passwd, openLDAP or SAMBA". Perhaps a GUI...
kde filesharing improvements/fixes
  * Improvements to Muon?   * Samba install?   * Amarok etc codec install   * Distro Upgrade? 11.10 upgrade notification and 12.04 to 14.04 LTS notification upgrade
document-vfs: Centralize OpenERP DMS VFS (Virtual File System) + implement protocol registration (to keep track with protocol with management on which ip/port ...etc) (Part of this is lies actually currenctly in `document' module) (This should also allow us to use filestore for DMS without serving fi...
I think it will be great step for Ubuntu server (and linux at all) to have something like AD. As first step I mean very easy thing: install Ubuntu server & say: create domain with this name company.com. LDAP server installing, then some schema importing to it & i can create users in LDAP (at this step (k)Ubuntu des...
At present simple networking, i.e. sharing a folder or a printer, involves editing config files. Usually, it would seem, this is simply removing the comment from the "security = user" line in the samba config file. As for sharing printers, that seems to be more complex still, requiring numerous commands to be run an...
Develop support for exposing CephFS via Samba for OpenStack Shared File Systems Service (Manila)
Today we either expose the CephFS back end via the CephFS native protocol, in which case kernel NFS and Samba are not needed, or by NFS-Ganesha, in which case Samba is not needed and kernel NFS is incompatible (we just turn it off again later). In the future someone could develop support for exposing CephFS via Sam...
A gui for easily editing the fstab file.
Currently, Fuel cannot provision Samba Active Directory (AD LDAP database, Kerberos realm) and switch Keystone to use it. Enterprise customers would like to integrate OpenStack with their enterprise wide Active Directory environment in more 'native' way. This scenario has the following advantages over 'classical' L...
I wonder if it won't be convenient to create a feature in konqueror, based on nfs or samba, to enable the ability to synchronize home folders existing on a laptop and a desktop, instead of copying the whole directory with the risk of losing some files if not made regularly.
While Files is undergoing a significant improvement of the inner handling of "Windows network" (shared SAMBA server), Files could use some work (mainly on the UI) side to make it more enjoyable to use as far as network folders are concerned.
NFS Advanced Projects for Linux Plumbers Conference
Topic Lead: Jeff Layton Jeff is a long-time Linux enthusiast. After working as a Unix System Administrator for almost a decade, he joined the Red Hat kernel engineering team in 2007, focusing mainly on NFS and CIFS. He is also a member of the worldwide Samba team by virtue of his work on the Linux kernel CIFS filesy...

mail server edition for Ubuntu
Ubuntu Server 7.10 edition + ZIMBRA mail server (http://www.zimbra.com/) - installed and tested. Zimbra installation on Ubuntu is difficult and time consuming process. So this two components tested by Ubuntu Team and installed in one process could bring more popularity for both (Ubuntu and ZIMBRA)
It would be good to see Ubuntu better integrate in a Microsoft-centric shop. Some items would include: * Authentication against AD (covered by network-authentication) * Easier browsing, mounting and sharing using Samba and CIFS (partially covered by samba-config-gui, samba-smbpasswd and others) * Working NTLM authen...
I started using Ubuntu very recently, and there was one thing that was very hard to me. Really frustrating, as in Windows is just click and go. I've all my documents in a network drive which uses Samba and I wanted to access it through the software in Ubuntu. But some software seems to me that is only able to access...
Myrinix Core Module for Myrinix Debian LiveCD/DVD
This is the discussion of myrinix core module. i suggest that this module will not contain any GUI apps but essential apps for myrinix
From the Nautilus desktop, click on Places, Network Servers. Currently, after a short wait, Windows workgroup networks and shared folders display and are available for connection. NFS shares from server never appear. This feature would similarly make NFS shares browseable and connectable in a GUI fashion.
Packaging and integration of OpenChange and the Samba libraries required for OpenChange
Samba Automount Shares for Linux Mint
Samba should be easier to use, especially moving from windows. Currently, it is difficult to access widows shares without applying the winbind fix here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149 Also, if i wish to put music from a samba share into rhythmbox, i have to smbmount it or put the share in fstab, a...
samba stuff for Ubuntu
Given the ubiquity of networks and the need for their interoperability: Let's take a look at all the samba proposals on blueprints and hammer-out essential priorities for the program. Further, we need to colloquialize the vocabulary for the everdy idiot: "don't worry, you can create a samba share" means nothing to ...
At time there are many tools to manage samba(SWAT, GSAMBAD, system-config-samba) SWAT and GSAMBAD are too complex and system-config-samba is too simple. We need a powerful but easy tool to easily change all the samba settings and do things like restart daemons, run testparm and such... A good thing would be to give ...
Running Samba with OpenLDAP in a way that it run and has a similarity with Microsoft AD. It should be able to interact with MS for some or most element in the LDAP. The primer target should be the Ubuntu-Server with similarity to the LAMP setup. It should include a WEB based GUI where you could add or remove user an...
In light of Ubuntu's direction toward the server market, I think it is only fair that administrators be given a simple, yet intuitive, user interface to work with when setting up and maintaining a Ubuntu server. One of the main reasons small to medium sized companies simply cannot use Linux in their environment is i...
A Shared Documents directory could be created under /home for users to put documents they want to viewable by other users on the system. I would suggest the following set:- /home/Share/Documents /home/Share/Pictures /home/Share/Videos /home/Share/Music /home/Share/Network <= files visible through samba share using ...
Right now, when right clicking on a folder and selecting “Sharing Options” – for example you want to share your Music folder and create a guest access to it – Samba will only share the files within the music folder but NOT THE SUB-FOLDERS where all the music is.
Many users have files they want to share with other users on the same machine and with other users on a mixed enviroment network. Windows offers an easily accesible shared-documents-folder by default. Ubuntu does not have a default shared files directory. This proposal is about having a shared-files-folder by defa...
i read openldap-dit-base-template.ldif file and understand that package have ALL-IN-ONE. i mean not only basic things like people and groups, but DNS, DHCP and samba. I think better is to split openldap-dit-base-template.ldif into base part - Users and Groups, and optional packages like dit-for-samba, dit-for-mail,...

system-config-samba for Linux Mint
system-config-samba is very easy to use, and works with serveral distributions. it is written in python and glade. other samba GUI tools need to break your samba configuration to regenerate own, and are (very?) complicated to use for lambda user. but system-config-samba use and modify your existing without breaking ...
There is no easy way to share a printer with windows machines. I couldn't create a working configuration even though I have lot of experience. Think how a new user feels. system-config-printer does not handle that, as a matter of fact there are options about sharing, but only about cups sharing without it being ment...
Ubuntu Server will ship three existing free software proxies for networks where the Microsoft server environment makes it impossible to deploy Ubuntu.By inserting a free software layer between the Microsoft servers and any computers that speak these Microsoft protocols a new level of control is introduced.

Packages and tools to make configuring of a Small Business Server for Ubuntu as easy as possible. Packages for easy configuration of a directory server (OpenLDAP) and a file server and packages for joining clients (configure pam, change numeric userid etc). Some goals: * Files server protocol includes nfs, openafs...
There is a lot of web applications in apt repositories. They are nice but they use different server side languages, they got different look and feel etc. I think that we could develop a bunch of web applications that could allow to admin Ubuntu based system (like webmin) could provide various informations about sys...
