There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd,

I don't know the final answer BUT if you have something simmilar to a cyber-cafe LAN (I mean, users use all the computers, and maybe some users come back to login with the same name) then you have to install a printer only once in a computer, loging as the administrator and installing drivers. Then what users will have to do is JUST add the printer without installing. I know that it's

This isn't necessarily a samba problem, but its happening on my domain with a Samba PDC. I have 2 computers running XP Pro that I can only connect to intermittently. All 3 of these machines are joined to the domain and can access domain resources when logged in as a domain user through the Samba PDC. SHIPPING1 always seems to work. SHOP1 and SHOP2 are the ones that allow intermittent

In the samba domain I admin, one of the computers runs the Peachtree accounting software. Today, McAfee antivirus was installed on that box (not my doing) and now Peachtree keeps giving "Locking table limit reached" errors. Is this an error from samba, Windows, or Peachtree? Is there a limit to the number of file locks samba can grant at one time? -- Andrew Gaffney Network

I have 2 printer queues setup on my samba 3.0.6 NT4-style PDC. About a month ago, one of them stopped working due to an issue with CUPS. After restarting CUPS, printing to that share was giving Access Denied. From a windows box, I was able to add drivers and set default print settings as a domain administrator but I still couldn't print. I created a new printer share pointing at the same

Last night, I upgraded from 3.0.7 to 3.0.8. This morning, I got the call that most (not all) of the machine couldn't logon to the domain. This was in the logs for those workstations that couldn't login: [2004/11/12 07:04:02, 0, pid=3088, effective(65534, 65534), real(65534, 0)] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(244) get_md4pw: Workstation SKYLINE-MIKEG$: no account in domain I

Is there a way to automatically enable Remote Desktop from a NETLOGON script? I want to enable Remote Desktop on *a lot* of machines, but I don't want to do it manually. -- Andrew Gaffney

While this doesn't relate specifically to Samba, I need to do this in a netlogon .bat file in a Samba domain. In my network, I have a printer hooked to a JetDirect so that it is a TCP/IP printer. Is there a way I can automatically have this printer mapped/added when the user is logged on? -- Andrew Gaffney

Can anyone point me to a doc or a script that shows how to generate netlogon script on the fly and supports users having multiple groups? I tried the Perl script referenced at <http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/AdvancedNetworkManagement.html> but I believe it only supports the user being a member of one group. -- Andrew Gaffney

I already have an existing network that is managed by a samba PDC. In the next few days, I will be linking another small LAN to the existing one over the internet using openvpn. I've been told that samba (through no fault of its own) doesn't work very well through a VPN. For the new network, there will be a box with 2 NICs: one for the internet and one for the LAN. This box will use

Is there a way to send a message to all users currently logged into a Samba domain controller? The reason why I ask is that I have a Samba 3.x.x primary/backup domain controller setup and as soon as the system monitor detects that the primary domain controller is offline I would like to execute a command to send a domain wide message telling all domain users to save their work to the local

We have a strange problem when using samba 3.0.7 where a printer's name is changed to the name of the printer driver. We use samba to share out printers from a fedora core 1 system. On a windows client they initially show up accurately. When adding the windows driver from a windows client for a new shared printer the driver files get transferred just fine. However, the printer name in the

Is there something special I need to do to let root add computers to the domain in 3.0? When I try to add the workstation I get an error about 'user not found' even though I can logon to a workstation joined to the domain as 'root'. I was able to add computers to the domain with 2.2.8 with an 'add user command' entry and 'domain admin group = root' in my

I've got a CD built with Gentoo's catalyst that uses isolinux 2.13. On the Athlon box (2003 BIOS), I get Disk error 80 with 2 different CD-RW, a CD-R, and 3 different builds of this CD. On my P2 box (2001 BIOS), it hangs for a while at "Loading", then I get "Loading gentoo...." for about 10 minutes, and then I get Disk error 5A. This same ISO boots just fine on another

I have a network of 2K and XP clients that I am migrating to a domain using Samba 3 as a PDC. I have the domain working quite well after quite a bit of tweaking. My problem is that I want people to logon to the domain, but I also want them to keep their profiles from their local users. How can I go about this? -- Andrew Gaffney
