Hi all, Ihave jsut been compiling dovecot 1.1.6-1.1.8 on a solaris 10 x86 machine with sun studio 12. It compiles correctly but when i want to run dovecot i am getting this error message Jan 10 17:16:16 Carolyn dovecot: [ID 762119 mail.info] Dovecot v1.1.8 starting up Jan 10 17:16:16 Carolyn dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.warning] auth(default): Growing pool 'mysql driver' with: 1024 Jan

Using Samba v2.0.10 on a RedHat v7.1 box, I see that the Win98 clients on our network are making sporatic requests for user "nobody" (as shown below). Anyone know what's going on here? My network has both Linux and Win98 clients, but only the Win98 clients are showing this behavior. Both the Linux and Win98 clients access the same shared drives, but only the Win98 clients use

Hello everyone, we try to use a server running linux in an NT-domain and get the error message given in the subject-line. More details from the logfile and smb.conf are given below. Can anyone give us a hint what the problem is? (Of course...) The problem is very urgent for us. Thanks a lot in advance. Helmut Rickel ================= smb.conf ======================== [global]

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

We are seeing erratic behaviour from Samba for connecting Unix drives to an NT terminal Server. Samba version 2.0.6 Solaris 2.6 NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition with service pack 4 running WinCenter NIS Logon Utility. The NT server is not part of a domain and uses the WinCenter Logon Utility to authenticate username and passwords from my Unix NIS server. Samba is set up for server level

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

The problem: Strangely, the PDC rejects user password challenges from Samba. The user account gets locked. After unlocking the account, everything is back to normal. This happens several times a day to different users and from different Samba servers. All Samba servers have the same [global] configuration. Is this a Samba problem? Is samba perhaps not passing along the correct password? If I add

Hi, Recently i moved from samba 2.0.5a to Samba 2.0.6 on 4 machines. Samba 2.0.5a ran quite smooth except for oplocking problems, so i decided to upgrade. I compiled both releases myself and used the same ./configure options both times (but i compiled on different machines: v 2.0.5a was compiled on a HP 9000/715/50, 2.0.6 was compiled on a HP 9000/800/K360) I used binutils 2.9.1 and gcc 2.8.1 on

I have been running RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.3 for the past week or so. My network is made up of NT servers and 95/98 clients. So far Samba has been running beautifully - I can use my Samba shares just like they are NT shares. My only problem is from time to time my Win98 machine "goes to sleep" and asks me for either a password or an IPC$ password. Generally this happens after a

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending

Hi, I had a look at this page which describes a single VPN zone called "vpn": http://www.shorewall.net/IPSEC-2.6.html Is this the most current information? It is the top page found by Google for "shorewall ipsec" Is there any information about setting up multiple VPN zones for different classes of road warrior? E.g. lets say there are two classes of road warrior:

I've had samba running cleanly on an HP-UX 11.0 system for many months, with "DOMAIN" security and one-to-one account name mapping. A few days ago I started getting password prompts on connection, and messages like this in the log files...

The version of Shorewall in the CVS development tree contains the first implementation of dynamic zones. While these zones are aimed at IPSEC Road Warriors, there is nothing ipsec-specific in the implementation except for a small extension in the tunnels file. There are two new commands: add and delete shorewall {add|delete} <interface>[:<host or subnet>] zone The interface

Hi, It's been a while since I created my smbpasswd file, and therefore it is no longer in synch with my Unix file. I've added and removed users over time, and now I need a way to update the 'smbpasswd' file without losing the encrypted passwords that are already in place (ie. I don't want to just run 'makesmbpasswd.sh' again). So, I've written the

I am running samba version 2.0.7 on a HP 11.00 server. I have a local pc account that is trying to access a samba share and is being prompted for a username and password (which usually does not happen). When I look in the log file, I see the following. How can I troubleshoot this. Any help is appreciated. [2002/11/21 15:33:04, 1] smbd/reply.c:(988) Username pcguest is invalid on this system

Hi folks, I'am using Samba 2.0.0 on a Linux and a Sun box and i have the following problem: I can log in from a smbclient but not from an NT Client using Security=Domain. 1.)

A couple of days ago I posted a problem I was having with the smbapasswd command for users (not root). Here is the original post: I have Samba installed on a HP-UX 11.00 system using NIS for UID/password resolution. The smbpasswd file hasbeen initilized and as root I can add a user's password and the user can "attach" the "share". But when the user tries to do the
