Re: rsync openDentImages from linux to network windows machi
I'm not sure how XDRDATA is formatted or used so I can't give good suggestions for it, but as for OpenDentImages, why not just use a SAMBA share which the Windows boxes can access directly? No syncing involved.

To automate it more, using mysqlhotcopy, do you have any experience with it?
Or, what about replicating the DB to another workstation?

Re: Question on migration to Linux
I'm curious as to why you are migrating from Windows Server 2008 to Ubuntu Linux. I'm running Windows Server 2008 on top of Ubuntu as a Virtual Machine, so I can switch quite easily. Just want to know why you think it's advantageous to ditch windows server completely.

Re: Question on migration to Linux
easiest thing to do is to setup WebMin on your Ubuntu server and then you can edit those settings really easily and keep on top of your server. I have lots of experience in this area as I have run my officer server using Ubuntu now for about 5 years...let me know if you need any help..

You need to add a user called root@%
In other words, you currently only allow root@localhost is already present, but there is no way for users from other workstations to connect.
