I spent a great deal of time yesterday messing with Samba and Windows Server 2008. I thought it would just be my normal messing around, but at some point by broken brain decided it was REALLY important to get linux connected to Windows Server 2008's Active Directory. Unfortunately, the currently released version of Samba 3.0.28a does not allow joing a linux computer to an Active Directory hosted on Windows 2008. But on the samba mailing list there was mentioning that on the test branch that they had fixed.
Well, I've written another software utility that I've had published on Sourceforge This one is called Mac-Ro-Knife and it can be downloaded at Mac-Ro-Knife.SF.net. Mac-Ro-Knife provides a utility function for systems administrators to run batch style command sets on multiple machines for things such as changing local accounts, transferring log files, or making configuration changes.
I've been working on an application for the last few weeks that seemed good enough to release to the public. Its called AudioM - Audio Mover/Mobile and it copies songs in a play list to a new location and creates a new play list that matches the new locations. It's primarily useful if you have a disk based MP3 player (in particular a Sansa).
