Nobody at my company has MSDN access or MSCE training. I'm a Linux
programmer, not a Windows programmer.
My question is this, in an environment where you have MS-DFS shares and
can't connect to them from Linux and there is probably Active Directory
as well, can you instead provide a samba
share with: a workgroup, a username, and a password? To make this more
acceptable, let the customer set: the workgroup, the username, the
password, and the share name. The customer will
have to figure out how to sync files, but I have no idea how else to
address this. I'm thinking powershell scripting on the Windows server
to do an rsync or something similar from the
MS-DFS share to the Samba share every say two minutes. This company
cannot wait for a solution from the Samba community that fixes Samba and
MS-DFS integration. A solution could be
found today, or five years from now. The company needs to sell product
yesterday. I'm in a difficult spot because the company is financially
in trouble.
The company has really awful C/C++ code that uses opencv to auto
calibrate essentially. Reading the code is totally uninformative. I
haven't formally studied computer vision. Solving this problem of auto
calibrate not working is worth more than MS-DFS integration. The code
has horribly uninformative variable names, it is needlessly threaded,
and it is totally undocumented. I think we tweaked some constants and
got reasonable results once, but there's no rhyme or reason to what
those constants should be.
