Try something like mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=password,workgroup=domain //windows_server/folder /local_folder you may also want to add ,ip=<Windows_server_IP> if it can't resolve the name Thanks Steve Simeonidis Network Engineer, Spherion Education Spherion Group Ltd "Making the Workplace Work Better" 1st Floor, 493 St. Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004,

Hi! My boss asked me to be able to share some directories on a FreeBSD Samba server with users already created (and used) on a NT 4.0 PDC server. So I followed http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=10 I just replaced the Windows 2k part by adding the NetBIOS name of the machine to the NT PDC. When I did the smbpasswd trick it worked like charm: testsmb# smbpasswd -j CH-DOMAIN -r PDC

Hi. I'm not subscribed to the list, so if you can help, please e-mail me or CC me in the response. I've been using Samba for quite a while, and just set up a 2.2.2 server with winbind support. Console logins and SMB access work fine, wbinfo -t reports "Secret is good", and wbinfo -r domain+ntuser shows the right group number. In fact, the UID/GIDs are translated properly when

Hi, You can use the command net rpc shutdown -S <machine name> to remotly shutdown a PC. Is it possible to, or could it possibly be a future upgrade to have a comma separated list of machines so that you can shutdown several machines at one time. Ie at the end of the day to shutdown PC's in a particular classroom? What are your thoughts?? Cheers ----------------- Kristyan

Is there a way to syncronise the Windows Domain passwords with the linux account passwords? SAMBA passes authentication to an NT box password server = * Users have local accounts on the Linux box and get access to SAMBA shares depending on which group (linux) they belong to and if their authentication credentials were correct. I've tried synchronising their passwords so when they change

I am having difficulty with Windows shares mounted with smb on my linux machine. The mount directory will not have write permissions for anyone, no matter what. The mount directory that I use is /home/samba. It has 0700, or drwx------ permissions when it is not connected to Samba. It is owned by the user jhall, and the group root. When I mount it, if I use dmask 0777, I get dr-xr-xr-x. If I use

I setup SAMBA to use winbind to authenticate of a WinNT PDC In the smb.conf I have a line template homedir = /home/winnt/%U which is file I also use the pam module to create directories for new users pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/sambaskel umask=0077 which is fine again. My problem is that I can't tell or how do I tell pam_mkhomedir to create the directories in /home/winnt/<user>

Hi, I all of a sudden require to log who has been login onto our domain, and from which machine. Looking through the logs I do have, I don't seem to have this information for more than a day, even in the log.<machinename>.old file. How can I change this ASAP? RD7.3, Samba 2.2.8a :) Max

samba 2.2.5 We use an NT PDC for password authentication and an NT WINS server. Both of those systems are on a different subnet. I have setup remote announce = <PDC subnet broadcast< and remote browse sync = <WINS server IP> Do I have to setup the SAMBA server as a master browser? I don't want to mess things up with the WINS servers. Thanks Steve Simeonidis Network

Can samba connect to an NFS share and then re-export that share so my windows XP users can connect to it? Basically I have a NFS share that all of my windows XP users need read-only access to. The goal of this project is to replace an old MS Gateway Services for Novell server (using IPX) with something that can do the same thing but over IP. I am pretty sure Novell and AD can share files

Hello, I am Shashidhar SR Working for Siemens Communication Software in Bangalore, INDIA as a Configuration Manager for Clearcase. I need some help regarding the samba configuration at our site.

Hello, We are using Samba to connect our ClearCase server to the Windows environment. Our original configuration was one server hosting all our VOBs and Views. We have Samba configured to allow mapping of shares to our ClearCase Windows Clients. Everything was working fine. Now we have set up a second server to host all our Views separate from the VOBs. So we have a View server and a separate VOB

Hi all, Just a novice in this world of Samba. I got a question, probably too simple. No problem to access share file systems and mount ClearCase vobs. Log shows access granted to NT userid belonging to the right UNIX group. Then, editing a file ( using a view thru Explorer), log shows another non authenticate user called clearcase_albd trying to be validated. I guess due to

Running Samba 2.2.8a I have a secondary hard drive (100GB) full of desktop images that I would like to share. The drive is installed in my Samba server and currently setup in fstab as: /dev/hda2 /mnt/myntfs ntfs defaults 0 0 This allows root access read permissions. Can I setup my Samba server to allow domain admins to access the data on this secondary drive? Please advise, Tim Jordan
