similar to: "load printers = Yes" produces working but invisible printers

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Im currently running some tests for a samba/CUPS based print server. The print server is a member of an NT domain and uses winbind to import NT domain users. Users accessing the print server will be not from the same domain but from trusted domains. Everything basically seems to work, once you use sufficiently new versions of cups and samba. (I'm on Debian

Has anybody out there tried the Debian packages offered by sernet? The seem to be ina not-yet-usable state right now.

Hi I have a samba server 3.0.0-15 acting as a PDC on a Windows domain (98, XP and 2000). Is there a way to automatically install printers to windows clients when users log in? Maybe by running a logon script... Thank you in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo! HotJobs

How do you manage printers on Windows workstations? What I mean, suppose you have many classrooms, different printers (which sometimes change) in these classroms - how do you manage which workstation (or a group of them) will use which printer? So far I've been using WPKG for that - as I described here: http://wpkg.org/wiki/index.php/Printer_configuration But somehow I feel it

Hi list! I need your expertise. How do I do to rid of the banner "SAMBA 3.0.14a on debian on sarge (pdcsrv)" I can see that when I use the M$ server tools and I've tried to rewrite the string but when I click "ok" the string still the same, what I mean is that no matter what I write there it doesn't change. I use JXplorer to navigate throw my ldap

Hi everyone; I have searched the internet up & down for an answer to this problem. I'm stumped. Here's what I've got: Samba 3.0.22 configured as a PDC using tdbsam as the passdb backend (switching to LDAP when I get everything working). testparm says everything is fine. I've added the root user and a normal user to the database (using smbpasswd). I even went so

Guys, I have a pc (already joinned the samba domain 'DOMAIN') that I want to keep off other domain users but user DOMAIN\mark and DOMAIN\thomas whilst letting both of them to logon freely to other computers. I tried sambaUsersWorkstations but it only works with uid (Users not Computers) and it dictated which computer such a user may logon to. What I want is the opposite: which users may

Hi, im using net rpc vampire to migrate users/ groups from nt4 to samba3 with ldap backend. But the umlauts (????) in the displayname are malformend. Unix charset in smb.conf is set to ISO8859-1. Any hint how to correct this? Regards S.Drees

When I try to establish a trust from SAMBA 3.0.11 to Windows 2003 I get the error: NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE. I have no problem the other way. I had no problem either, when I ran SAMBA 3.0.9, and the problem disappeared when I down-graded to 3.0.9. Here is what happens ('CALYPSO' is the Windows-server and 'KONTOR' is its domain-name): [root@linux /root]# net rpc trustdom

Is it possible to use some kind of netlogon script to add a printer? net use \\server\printert ??

Dear Group, I'm using samba 3.x as a PDC, and I'm using linux system quota v2 for samba. Here is my problem: if a user copies a big file to the desktop (bigger than the quota set for that user), when he logs off, the profile wont syncronize with the server with the message "disk full". Is there a way to let the WinXp client to understand how much space is available also for

Hi all, I have been noticing for a certain time that the Win 2K with Service Pack 4 wasnt able to save its profile to a Samba PDC. Is this a known fact or I have a problem ? I am using 3.0.11 on Fedora Core 3. regards -- You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

Hello friends, I am running Samba 3.0 on RHEL4 server. Around 200 roaming profiles are also configured and they login to XP machines. Things are working for us except in network rollout scenarios. We dont know how to roll out patches or some global changes to all the profiles. We have to visit each and every profile (loggin each of them) to do even the small changes. Today we have to map a

Hi, I am running sernet-samba 3.0.21a-6 (Debian) with winbind as a member server in a (NT4-)domain. When trying to assign ACLs from a Windows 2000 client in Windows Explorer, I get the error message "Object Picker cannot open because it cannot determine whether nt04001 is joined to a domain." ... At the same time I get error messages in smdb.log: (...) [2006/01/04 10:32:14, 0]

Hi, I'm trying to setup a samba domain controler trusting a NT4 domain. and want to use Idmap information already stored in an LDAP location. smb.conf snippets are below. I'm not getting this to work. What I see, reading log.winbindd-idmap at log level 10 is that search for Idmap entries seems to use the "ldap suffix" parameter instead of the idmap config

Hi, A few weeks ago I announced a rewritten PROFILES.txt on the mailing list. It is available on http://users.iafrica.com/p/pc/pcs/profiles.txt The idea of it is to explain exactly how NT and 95 handles roaming profiles and then specify how to set up samba to enable both to handle roaming profiles. Most of the document it finished, and I would like to contribute it, but I have a few things to

I suggest reading the man page for 'hwclock'. Namely, the --utc option. If you don't tell your system that the BIOS is stored as UTC, then it will assume it's

Hi, I recently posted several mails concerning my problems with samba 2.2.0 acting as a server for printer drivers. The drivers are downloaded to the Windows clients, but the document defaults get muddled up. Even if I set the document defaults to German Page Size "A4", applications insist in setting the doucment page size to "Legal" or "Letter". Is there anyone

I have a Samba PDC with LDAP as its back end. It works perfectly except for one major detail: Non-root users cannot join the Samba PDC. I change the domain on Windows XP clients like this: 1. Log in as administrator on an Windows XP client 2. Change domain with Control Panel -> System -> Computer name -> "Change..." and in the Domain field, I enter the name of the Samba Domain
