Good, thanks. So let me do some more stuff, some more testing and we can probably sort this during January.

Any results from the testing?

Just saw this: http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/681

So maybe DNS is actually not deactivated, when I though it would.

To test if this is the true problem, what's the graceful way to disable DNS?

Uploaded a new version which interacts with Samba to check if there are open files before shutdown: http://code.google.com/p/amahienergysaver/downloads/detail?name=AmahiEnergySaver_0_2_alpha.tar.gz&can=2&q= Been trying to find out what's the best way to install this, I guess I need some cust...

Should work with no changes at all, it's OS functions that I use. One item to do before the beta is including a check if Samba has open files, to take care of the unlikely case that a client is not listed in the client list but still access the files. This will be about the maximum interaction I can...

Same problem. fping 'hostname_set_in_client' doesn't work fping 'hostname_in_hda_arptable' does work But noone knows before running arp on HDA what 'hostname_in_hda_arptable' really is.

Hello, I want to check if certain clients connected to my HDA are active, using ICMP Ping. I can ping the IP addresses, but I can't ping the hostnames. arp -a delivers: h033.home.com (192.168.0.33) at 6c:f0:49:df:02:9b [ether] on eth0 h145.home.com (192.168.0.145) at 00:1b:11:4c:25:df [ether] on eth...

Even better, thanks!

Right, I had both users. I'm kind of sure that I didn't create the one with only lower letters. Anyway I deleted the one with capital now. When I move the system into production I will make sure to use only lower letters, so to avoid problems.

Thanks for all your support,

Voila, that's it! Thanks a lot! Only remaining thing is.... how could this happen? IIRC when I set up the user I typed "Jayrock". If I now look at the user page in //hda, I see user name "jayrock", full name "Jayrock". If this is breaking things, then maybe there should...
