Hi all, I am playing with a test box at the moment running a Samba 2.2.7a domain on FreeBSD 5.0. I wish to enable ACLs, but I am not exactly sure what I am supposed to expect once they are enabled. I have created a UFS2 partition and enabled ACL support using tunefs. Since doing that, I have been able to connect to the Samba shares and modify ACLs, but so far the only things I have been able to

Hi all! I am having some trouble with the above equation. Firstly: Samba == samba-2.2.8 LDAP == openldap21-2.1.12 pam_ldap-1.6.1 FreeBSD == FreeBSD 5.0 HOWTO == http://samba.idealx.org I have been following the HOWTO at samba.idealx.org, and so far I've found it extremely informative for someone who wants to get LDAP up and running with Samba, and who has never used LDAP before. On

Update: Just for my personal assurance, I decided to recompile samba again making sure to use the parameters I thought I had used the first time (./configure --with-winbind --with-acl-support --with-ads --with-smbmount). Without changing any of my configs, I restarted samba and winbind. One trick: to change rights on a file, you must own it or be root. This is where the "force user =

In Samba 2.2.7a, 'password expire time' appears to be being ignored. When I run 'smbstatus' it says: Unknown parameter encountered: "password expire time" Ignoring unknown parameter "password expire time" What should I be using to force a password change every n days?

What should a configuration look like for Red Hat 7.3 when authenticating users against Winbind, for a telnet session? I have done the following so far: Installed Samba Joined the system to the domain Loaded Winbind Edited /etc/pam.d/login #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required

Hello all, I was using Samba 2.2.5 on a Linux machine as a PDC and it was working fine. But know I installed FreeBSD 4.7 in this machine and installed Samba 2.2.6pre2. It's still working as a PDC, but I can't add machine trust accounts because FreeBSD doesn't accept $ in its usernames. How should I do now? Thanks in advance.

I'm setting up a new install of samba 2.2.7a on FreeBSD 4.7 Here's a little run-through of what I have done. I added a machine account in /etc/group as follows: machines:*:201 I have added all of my machine accounts in to /etc/passwd as follows: sclepy$:*:201:201::0:0:Machine account for Sclepy:/dev/null:false lexus$:*:202:201::0:0:Machine

Hello! I am running samba-2.2.7a under FreeBSD 4.7. I tried to run Samba server as a PDC. However, I couldn't append the character "$" to the machine account. According to Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html in swat, I edited the /etc/passwd and added $ in my machine account manually. But still no use. It seems that my PDC is ok because it can authenticate the user from Window ME

Hi. Only indirectly related to zfs. I need to test diskusage/performance on zfs shared via nfs. I have installed nevada b64a. Historically uid/gid for user www has been 16/16 but when I try to add uid/gid www via smc with the value 16 I''m not allowed to do so. I''m coming from a FreeBSD backgroup. Here I alter uid using vipw and edit /etc/group afterwards. -- regards Claus

Hello, Sorry to be a pest, but I need to try to get some clarification of how the machine name works when setting up a machine account on the Samba server. The Samba How-To page http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html#id2536400 talks about the "common error" of including the $ in the machine name on the server machine. However, all of the

Sorry everyone for asking this stupid question. I want add a system account to my debian system. I did it on another machine a couple of months ago and it worked fine with this command (I think). Iam typing the command: adduser MACHINENAME$ but I keep on getting this error mssg: adduser: Please enter a username consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers.

i'm trying to setup a PDC with my FreeBSD box. i'm following the directions in "Samba Unleashed" by SAMS. in it they mention the creation of a server user account. this is the example they give: useradd -c "Samba PDC fir MYDOMAIN" -M -s /bin/false -n PERSEUS$ other than the fact FreeBSD doesn't use useradd and that pw useradd doesn't have a "-M"

Dear All, Sorry if this question has been posted before but there's no enough answer to solved my problem and I'm going crazy because of it....:( I'm currently installed Samba-2.2.8a as logon server on My FreeBSD 5.0. For Win 9.X client there's no problem at all. But when I tried to joining W2K client into samba domain it's shown an error message such as : "the

Hello, For some reason, I thought little about the "clear" command today.. Let's say a privileged user (root) logs on, edit a sensitive file (e.g, a file containing a password, running vipw, etc) .. then runs clear and logout. Then anyone can press the scroll-lock command, scroll back up and read the sensitive information.. Isn't "clear" ment to clear the

I modified a users name on my system. From ABCLast, to ALast (used as an example). I modified the username, then the group name of the user (to align with the new name), and then I moved the users home directory from /home/ABCLast, to /home/ALast. Then using vipw, edited the home directory to use /home/ALast. When I got finished editing the passwd file, I got the following message: You have

Hello, could somebody to comment PR bin/51148? It is suggestion how to pass a value of cache size to pwd_mkdb when we are doing vipw or such. It can give a greate speed-up when master.passwd is really big (and sometimes it is). Appropriate cache size can make process 10 to 100 or more times faster. I gave the results of measurements in that problem report. Thanks in advance! SY, Alex

Is this a bug or what... Setup: samba-2.2.6.p2_1 as Windows PDC Installed via ports on FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE on install I enabled Syslog support, Recycle Bin, and Quota support.

Hi, I'm using Unix now for the last 2 years, so I'm learning everyday new things. Now I'm trying to configure Samba 2.2.5 (on Freebsd 4.4) so that w2k machines can logon to the domain. I added several users to smbpasswd (which are real users on the server. I would like to have "virtual users" which don't have a real account but that's an other problem) In several
