similar to: How do I create a globally accessible directory [partly solved] (XP works/98 doesn't)

My question is, how come daevid (on XP) sees the following directories: \\linux\dae51d \\linux\homes Shouldn't there just be the home dir only? Why does "\\linux\dae51d" show up (I assume it's b/c that's who I am logged in as on XP which maps to linux)? However, the fact that it does show up, shouldn't it be the actual HOME directory of the linux user account dae51d (as

I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

I just created a new smbpasswd file, all users with unset passwords. Problem is, users can't set their passwords, only I can as root. Password is not set / blank, but they still get: >test> smbpasswd >Old SMB password: <enter> >New SMB password: Samba >Retype new SMB password: Samba >machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The >specified

I'm trying to set up a samba box at home to centralize my family's storage into one place. Every time I try to connect to the box I get an incorrect user name or password dialog and it doesn't matter what I put in but it won't let me connect. In the log files every time I connect I see something like (repeated several times)... [2003/07/05 13:20:11, 0]

Hello. When I run smbpasswd from samba 3.0.23a on a MIPSEL system running Linux 2.4.20 as root, I'm NEVER asked for a password.

Hey everyone, firstly thanks for your time, I've spent hours, a lot straight days too, for the last couple of weeks trying to solve this issue. The only thing (afai can see) I've got left is asking the experts and formatting all the machines and starting over, the latter of which I'm not interesting in doing because it doesn't solve the issue (well it might make the problem go

I'm a little less new to samba now - but having a heck of a time getting authentication to work. I'm running NIS+, configured samba with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. Does anyone have some good nis/samba references? I'm striking out. The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for samba to work. I first created the smbpasswd file using

Hallo, I can't join a win2K machine on my domain. I create the machine account dynamically in my smb.conf by the following line: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 200 -s /bin/false -M %u Now a machine account is created and added to my users (this part works ok) Samba also generates a machine account for samba (I could not find a line for that in my smb.conf) But the

I've searched google and the samba archives to no avail (appologies if I've missed something), so I will ask the community directly: I am trying to convert a fully populated smbpasswd file to the tdbsam backend: # pdbedit -i smbpasswd:./smbpasswd -e tdbsam:./passdb.tdb This seems to work, on the surface, but upon inspection I find that # pdbedit -Lw username

Hi All I'm trying to set up a machine with a simple samba configuration. I've written the config file with no problems, however any time I attempt to connect to the shares it doesn't work.

I've got a public share that any user is supposed to be able to access. But no matter who I try to connect as, I get the dreaded: "NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER".

Could somebody please explain just how one is supposed to set up samba users, groups and passwords so connections can be established to Win2k clients to connect to FBSD samba server for file sharing and to use cups for printing.
