Hi Collective users of Samba, (does has a nice ring to it eh?) Recently I found a my samba server being infected by win32 viruses. Though it does not affect the server in any way, I do find them to be an annoyance. I understand also that I can perform "veto" of files like *.exe in smb.conf but find that to be a wee bit restrictive. There are some users who stores valid executables in

Dear Mr. Andrew Tridgell, I am new to samba. I understood that it allows you to share the files from Microsoft windows env. and UNIX environment. I need to install the software on my UNIX machine. Do I need the license? I downloaded the following file. samba-latest.tar.gz I copied to UNIX env. and gunzip and tar to extract all the files. Is this correct step? I will appreciate, if

Hi I have read that Samba can emulate an NT Domain. Is this still possible? I dont see much about it listed anymore. Is it still supported in 2.2.8a. Does anyone have any information concerning this? We would like our version to do this so we can do some testing with one of our NetApp 880's. -- Thank you TJ _________________________________ Steven ?Todd? Johnson State of Alaska Dept.

Happy New Year to everyone: I have followed the instructions at shorewall.net/samba.htm. I''ve restarted the samba server, shorewall, rebooted, everything. And from my network I cannot browse available shares on the firewall (192.168.1.1) telnet 192.168.1.1 138 fails with connection refused, which I don''t understand. All other open ports respond with a string. -- Philip

Hey ppl ! My WinXP workstations are not able to join my domain. I tried to apply the registry fix for plain-text passwords but it has no effects :( My PDC seems to work fine cause i've got no problems with Win2K Workstations... Is there anything i've omitted ?

I currently have a setup of 1 NT 4.0 PDC server and to SUSE boxes sharing via a samba share. I seem to have to make 5 different usename/password databases. 1 for NT, 2 for each SuSe box (One Linux and one Samba). Is there a way to have 1 or maybe two databases to update? I've read about LDAP on other connections but I'm a little confused as to what is the best approach. Oh

Bare with me please :-) I know this question has probably been asked before but a quick overview of the archives didn't help me out. Couple of parts 1. Can a samba domain be established that doesn't require registry hacks on an XP machine to add the XP machine? 2. What would a VERY basic smb.conf file look like that creates a samba domain for W2K and XP machines? 3. Does anyone

I have a home network based on Win XP Pro, with one Linux machine running Red Hat 9. All updates have been applied. There's no domain controller. I can connect from the Linux machine to the XP machines via Konqueror using smb://mymachine/myshare However, I can't use the mount command. I'm trying to use syntax like mount -t smbfs -o username=myname,password=mypwd //192.168.0.1

I have joined my win2k client machines (win2k professional or win2k professional server) to my PDC. This worked fine and I did all recommended as e.g. in the HOWTO http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-pdc.html#joining. So far I can also login localy to the win2k client machines using a local account and connect a network drive from the PDC using a valid account on the PDC (as given in the

Has anyone tried to wrap your SMB session inside another TCP protocol like SSH? I'm trying to sync files across two linux machines but my broadband provider is blocking SMB and port 139 traffic. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Aram -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: not available Type:

Hi, when i try to join a winxp pro client to my samba domain i get an access denied error. Checking /etc/passwd and smbpasswd shows an new created mashine account, but the account is disabled and without a password. I'm using a debian 3.0 Linux with Samba 2.2.8a-1.0 and the following add user script: /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g workstations -s /bin/false -M %u Is there something

Hi, I am trying to set up a SAMBA-PDC for our school's network and find a strange Problem with two Win2k workstations. When I try to join the SAMBA domain I receive an error which says the user account - I am using root - is unknown. I call this "strange" because other Win2k machines on the very same subnet work correctly - and what is even stranger: I can manually access all

Hi Ewan, I''m almost ready to integrate some PPC-specific stuff into xend, and I was wondering if you had a plan for how that should work. First example: the device tree data structure we talked about a few weeks ago. We will need to pass the config data to PPC code, probably in XendDomainInfo.initDomain(), and then pass the resulting data structure into libxc''s xc_linux_load()

I have been asked to set up a Linux Samba file server as well as set up user-level access control for a medium sized real estate agency. Currently, the office is a on a single workgroup and there is only one UID for all users. The owner wants to set up individual accounts and server spaces for each agent. Until I can convince him that converting everyone to Linux workstations, I have to support

  I've been having problems mounting WinXP shares with Samba 2.2.7a & 2.2.8. I attribute this to WinXP using encrypted passwords, but I've set my smb.conf file with "encrypt passwords = yes" and despite a lot of searching, can't find any other option or flag that might help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

In the planning process for migrating from NT4 PDC, and external ldap directory to samba 3.2.8 PDC. The external existing openldap directory is used currently to support the local uid mapping for the Linux logins and samba file servers that are members of the current NT4 PDC. While looking at the existing openldap UIDs and GIDs in use and what the samba PDC wants to use I see some uid/gid

Any hint? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I was just wondering whether can we map a samba server as a drive? If can, it would be GREAT! This is because we can make users who log on to the server see different directories (like novell) and i thought it would be EXCELLENT if we can map the samba server as a drive itself. If we can, how can we achieve that? Thanks. adrian

I've got a situation where my webdesigners (win2k) are located on a different subnet (and location) than the samba server. I need a way of using a local (to the webdesigners) machine (linux) to use SSH and port forward to the remote samba server. How does one go about doing such a thing?
