Right now I'm using old novell 4.11 file server, planning to move to some linux os with samba, maybe RHEL or some clone... depend on the budget :). Right now, users often do moves folder from original location to another... and in novell file server, there is no log whatsoever. Even worst, they move the folder from file server to their local harddisk... make me difficult to find the moved folder... had to restore from the backup. In samba, if we moving folder... is there any log? My users is common users with windows xp, around 150 users... click and drag what they do best. -- Best regards, Budi Febrianto (mailto:bfebrian@xxxxxxx) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
