samba - Aug 1997 - Question

Is there a way to prevent other users from being able to map a drive from
windoww95/NT to anyother user directory on the system. For example I can map
to anyone's account on the system and have read only access, is there a way
to stop this in either the global or share level? 

Thanks

G'day all,

I am new to the list, so please be careful with me :-)....Some background I
am a developer not a network person, but I do like to play with hardware.

I have just installed samba 1 9 18p8 (I think this is the version number) on
Linux redhat 5.1.
The Linux box is a home PC that I use for data store, email and general
playing around with.

I am connected to my works MS network via ISDN with a nortel-nautica unit
that is doing address translation. (keep with it I'll get there in a
minute).
This allows me to have many PC's and printer connected at home on the works
network.

Now my problem, I can log on to my works network at boot time and 'see'
my
Linux box on the floor next to me. But any other PC in the room can't
'see'
the Linux box if I don't log in via work. If I do log in there is no
problem.

What I would like to do I have one of the PC's be able to see shares on the
Linux box without having to log in at work, obviously I want my wife to be
able to use the resources without me logging her in and of course it is
difficult to justify Sarah having an account at work :-).

Now I think I should be able to get around this be enabling 'domain
logon'
on the Linux box, but I am not sure if this is going to effect by works
network in any way.
Can anyone shed some light, or am I up a creek with no paddle...

i've set samba up on a redhat linux machine on my personal network with
an IP-Address of 192.168.32.1
there are two win98 client machines on my network with the addresses
192.168.32.2 and 192.168.32.3. the two machines have the exact same
tcp/ip configurations. i can log onto the samba server from the first
98box, but not the second. i can logon with any user name from the first
98box, but i can't log on with any user names from the second 98box. if
i switch the ip addresses i still can't logon from the second box and i
can logon from the first. teh smb.conf file has a hosts allow entry that
allows all host on the 192.168.32. subnet to logon to the box.
all the machines can see one another, but i can't logon with the second
98box.

any ideas what else could be wrong?

Hi all,
I am having trouble with accessing my share from a win Nt workstation
connecting to solaris 2.5.1 samba server.
It kept saying can't access from this workstation.  How do you solve that?
I can see the share from my network neighborhood,

Hello. I'm trying to get samba up and going for a cdrom server with no
luck. Let me describe my setup so that you can hopefully catch something
obivous that I'm doing wrong.

                                                           Novell
netware server(ipx)
                                                          /
Linux box(firewall, router)----hubs------computers(Win95/98)
                                                          \
                                                             Linux Cdrom
Server(samba)

The linux box that's the firewall is what does the routing and assigns
the ips. The firewall on it Does block netbios, etc....  I'm currently
using mars_nwe on the cdrom server but the Novell server is about to be
switched to NT and will then use tcp/ip so I will not be able to use
mars_nwe any longer with the cdrom server. Therefore I must use samba.
I'm trying to go ahead and get samba up with the novell server up and
trying to make the cdrom server the wins server but I'm not having any
luck with the win95 computers seeing it. As I said before, that firewall
does block netbios, etc.. but does that matter with using samba locally
and does it matter that Novell is up and running right now which is the
main netware server? Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Ive found your email on:
http://www.stylusinc.com/website/free_scripts/ASP/stylepoll.htm - forum
and I would like ask you some question about Installation the Poll. I
did it right as I read README.txt. But Ive got:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use an
updateable query.
 /poll_admin/GenerateForm.asp, line 39

.. and they didnt wrote about ADO !

Any better sugestion than README.txt ?
Thank you.

Hi,

Is there a way to uninstall samba? 
I ran ./configure
Next make and then make install.....but, I made a mistake in the location
that I wanted to install.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Diane,
I have been able to load 2.0.7pre3 awhile ago (before the released version
of 2.0.7 was out) on an HP-UX 10.20 system; didn't get the problem about cc
-O, or any missing include files;
On my system the c compiler is:(from swlist output)
C-ANSI-C     B.10.20.00    HP C/ANSI C Compiler

Don't know what you are using.
Also can you post a list of the include files it didn't find; perhaps that
would give us a clue.
Thanks,
Don

Hi,

Have you set up an samba account according to your
Windows login? The password request pop's up
'cause you want to access a share that's not
configured to be accessable with your windows
login.
Do:
1) create a samba user with the same name as your windows login
2) do smbpasswd
3) in the config (smb.conf) give the user (your windows login) the rights
for the share(s) you want to access
4) brows the share ;-)

Hello Rodionov,
A couple of things.
If your unix user name and windows login name are different, you will
need to use the usermap option in smb.conf and create the mapping 
between your windows login name to your unix login name.
for instance, in the user.map file, if you unix name is tom, but your 
windows login name is jerry, you would have the entry:
jerry = tom

In addition, if you are using userlevel security for samba, EITHER you
will need to make a registry hack on the windows machine to make it send
cleartext passwords, or you will have to create an smbpasswd file to add
your windows user and password via the smbpasswd command;
see chapter 6 in the O'Reilly "Using Samba" manual, available for
purchase
or online at 

   http://www.samba.org/samba/oreilly/using_samba/

for specific details on how to do this.
Hope this helps,
Don

Question:

Not sure if you have an issues database to do a search and see if you have
had a similar problem in the past.

Here is the scenario we are going through. I hope you have ran across
something like this before or perhaps have some hints on what to look for.
The explanation is not very technical but if you need additional information
do not hesitate to ask.

We have NT workstations accessing a UNIX server via SAMBA, we are using a
fairly up-to-date release.  A software we are using on these workstations
requires for a service to run on the workstation to allow any user to sign
on  as themselves (Joe, Mary, Bob for examples) but it is seeing by the
server as being user "myadmin" ("myadmin" for example). 
User "myadmin" has
full access to the files (read, write, execute) on the share. The regular
users only have read access to the files on the share, without the running
service to disguise the user as "myadmin" a regular user can only read
the
files and is not allowed to write.

We have had problems with the software in that it crashes at different
times.  We narrowed down the issue but are stuck in figuring out why.  What
is happening is that when the user starts out using the software it is
seeing by the server as having full access to the files like it should
"myadmin".  It works fine for a while until out of the blue the file
locks
changed and the user only has read access to the files not allowing the
common user (Joe, Mary, Bob) to save their work.

What could be causing the file locks to change?  One minute the server
thinks it is "myadmin" logged on with full privileges to the files as
it
should and everything works wonderful.  Then the file locks change and the
user can not save their work?  It is almost as if the workstation is telling
the server I am "myadmin" to start with and sometime later changes
telling
the server it is some other user (Joe, Mary, Bob).

Have you seen this happen before?  Any ideas on a possible cause?

I appreciate any help you can provide

Thanks, eagerly awaiting your reply,
Betsy

I have installed the Redhat 7.0 version rpm of the 2.2.0 release and was
wondering if anybody has reported any problems with SWAT.....

I am getting a "bad request error" or "Page not found error"
when trying to access the web page....

Is there anything else I could check that might possibly be the problem......I
really like SWAT and I am using Webmin now to make my smb.conf modifications....

Thanks and sorry to bother you....

This is from an earlier post.  Apparently the spec file in the rpm is wrong.

Hello,

Could you please answer my question?
I am not sure it's SAMBA's bug so I would like you to advice.
I have an NT service (written by me) which runs on remote server. A remote 
client connects to it and accesses COM object residing there. When I tested 
it in pure NT environment all worked. Now I transferred it to SAMBA 2.2.1a 
controlled network and it doesn’t work.
hr = CoCreateInstance(.., IID_IDog, &pDog);   // hr is S_OK and pDog is not 
NULL
hr = pDog->Bark(); // Oops! hr is E_ACCESSDENIED
Is this some kind of SAMBA 2.2.1a problem?

Thank you in advance,
Stan

Hi ,
hpux 9.1 has been obsolete for some time now, unfortunately.  You could try
downloading the samba source and compiling it yourself, but I don't know of
any current binary packages of samba that have been built or tested for this

These questions would be better asked on the samba mailing list.
My guess (not having enough info in what you sent) is a name 
resolution issue. Are your machines on the same subnet? Try
the tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt in the samba docs directory.

With the Win95 client if it is OSR2 you will need a registry
fix for plaintext passwords applied there as well.

Hello,

I'm looking for a piece of software that can run on my Solaris machine, and
can be used to verify users on my local NT domain controller...

In other words...


1)  User visits my website which is housed on my Solaris box.
2)  My perl script takes a username and password and executes a command line
based program to verify the username and password entered as a valid domain
account.
3)  The program returns "Valid" or "Not valid"
4)  My perl script acts accordingly.


I basically want a way for the Sun Box to validate a username and password
against the NT domain controller.  Is there a way to do this in Samba?  If not,
is there a better way?  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Todo o mundo passa por aqui!

I have a server with RedHat Linux 6.2.
It runs samba-2.0.6.
I use 'smbfs' mount to mount to a Window2000 Server.
The mount is successful. However, the 'ls | wc -l' command  often 
missing
some files.
The rebooting cannot solve the problem.
The following is the mount command in /etc/fstab:
//xxxyyy/Incoming /usr/local/abc/orders smbfs username=mws,password=xxx,
workgroup=usbbb01,uid=cigna,gid=users,rw 1 1

Does samba-2.0.6 support Window2000 doman logon?
Should I upgrade samba?

Thanks advancing for any suggestion!

It runs samba-2.0.6.
I use 'smbfs' mount to mount to a Window2000 Server.
The mount is successful. However, the 'ls | wc -l' command  often 
missing
some files.
The rebooting cannot solve the problem.
The following is the mount command in /etc/fstab:
//xxxyyy/Incoming /usr/local/abc/orders smbfs username=mws,password=xxx,
workgroup=usbbb01,uid=cigna,gid=users,rw 1 1

Does samba-2.0.6 support Window2000 doman logon?
Should I upgrade samba?

Thanks advancing for any suggestion!

I have samba installed on my HP Unix box.  One problem I am having is
that on most windows xp and 2000 machines finding my samba server is not
a problem.  On some xp machines tho, it can't find my samba server at
all.  Does anyone have any ideas on where I can look on the machine to
figure out why it won't see my samba server?

Question: Can I load Linux on my AS/400 and then use Samba to run SQL
Server-type applications?

I don't know if this is a bug or what, some of the files in my smb 
mounted dirctory are returning the wrong file size. Also when I try to 
open the files, they are not complete. The shared directory is from a 
Windows XP machine and the files are greater than 1Gigabyte each. This 
does not hapen to other files in the directory. Also the "good files",
the ones that are not truncated, display the message "Value too large 
for defined data type". I already tried changing the ttl setting in 
smbmount, I still have the same problem. What can I do to get all the 
files to be displayed correctly?

Thanks.

mike lowe here...

is samba ported over to the current version of openbsd?

thanks......

Since I put alot of reliability in listservs....  
 
I want to do the following things.  I run a Linux server on a completely
Win2K network.  I want the Linux server, when someone's password is updated
through the domain controller, to automatically update the Linux server, so
when we update someone's password, or disable someones account in Win2k
domain, it also disables it on the Linux server.  
 
Also,
 
I want to be able to set up a partition (say "/home") on my linux
server,
where people can just go into Network Neighborhood and go into their share
folder in the Linux server as if it were just a F/P server in a win domain.
I am assuming Samba does both of these.  However, I dont' know how...  can
someone point me in the right direction.

Well, the way this is done is actually to authenticate directly against
the domain, rather than keeping passwords in sync.

You can do this with winbind. Take a look at this:

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba/Integrating%20Linux%20into%20Windows%20Networks.tar.gz

IMHO, Mandrake 9.0 is the quickest way to get this, plus you can use
ACLs out-the-box.

Reccomended procedure:
1)Install Mandrake 9.0 in expert mode
2)Where you enter the root password, choose "Windows Domain" as
authentication type.
3)Enter the domain name in CAPS

If your domain allows anonymous access, you should be able to log into
the machine with a domain account on first boot. But the default config
doesn't have any shares enabled, so:

# cp /etc/samba/smb-winbind.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf

Replace the 'workgroup = ' line in your new /etc/samba/smb.conf with the
domain name, install samba-server (urpmi samba-server), start samba
(service smb start) and it should make a home directory for any user who
authenticates, even via samba. So, connecting to \\server\username\
should work out-the-box.

To get ACLs working, you should either use XFS as the filesystem that
your shares will be on, or add the 'acl' mount option to ext2/ext3
filesytems in your /etc/fstab.

Note the tarball above has configs that should accomplish the same on
Redhat 8.0 (except possibly for the winbind groups problem people are
talking about).

Please explain what you want to do. There may be a way to do what you

I'm a Windows user who is a newbie to Linux (and obviously to Samba),
having just installed it for the first time yesterday.  I run three
computers, a desktop and two laptops.  I've gotten everything set up
just fine so far -- my network is working, I can access email and the
web (my internet connection is on the desktop and I'm working on one of
the laptops) and can access my files on the other computers.

The only thing I can't seem to make work is the printers (which are
located on the Windows computer).  I have Samba set up, have followed
the instructions (I thought), but when I try to print a test page I get
the message "Unable to connect to Samba host."  I realize that
I've
probably overlooked something extremely obvious, but can someone help me
out here?

Oh, and I have set up Samba to load automatically when Linux is started.

Please see my post for the share printer thread for some information on your
printing question.
> Oh, and I have set up Samba to load automatically when Linux is started.
The best way is to use the startup scripts provided for each daemon
with adjusting the files in rc[0-6].d to properly start and stop these
daemons as you change run levels (start and stop the machine, etc.)
To start any daemon automatically with the startup scripts, you have to
mess around either with some GUI configuration tool (settings), or the
files in /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d. If all else fails, just put these commands
in rc.local

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D

To find the files, locate rc.local and which smbd and which nmbd might help.

Note that the startup scripts have beome increasingly complex over
the last few years. Even for someone who knows some bash they are very
difficult to follow, since each vendor does things suprisingly different.

This home brew script does a fine job for me:
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
 start)        
  killall smbd
  killall nmbd
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
  ;;

 stop)
  killall smbd
  killall nmbd
 ;;
 reload)
 kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid`
 kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid`
 ;;
 *)
 echo Usage: 
 echo start stop reload
 ;;
esac
exit 0

Yes this should be possible if you compile from scratch.
Please ask questions like this on the samba@samba.org mailing

Hello!
I have a problem and do not know is there any way to solve it. I have a 
Samba-server running as a PDC in a Windows2000 network. It works fine. But 
now I need to install the Squid on the same machine with Samba-PDC. And it 
would be fine if I could use ntlm authentication in Squid. But to do so I 
need to run winbindd. Any information I could find discribes how to do this 
if there are at least 2 machines: PDC and Squid+Samba+winbind. But I need 
it running on the only one machine. Can I do this? Samba configuration 
files on the PDC and Squid-computer according to discribtions must be 
different. I run Samba and Squid under a FreeBSD4.8. Cuold you help me with 
a wise advice?

Thank you. Alexey

I have a unix machine. I am runnung the samba server, but the thing is

get nothing, i am not enable to get into the unix server " Samba
server"
Ho can i fix it innorder to set up an standart user to let the windows 
machine get into the unix server.

Can you send a copy of your smb.conf file??  I had this same problem
when I set up my Win2K machine, and Samba.

It will give others an idea on what you have done to this point.

hi, i am completely new to using linux(i use red hat8) and samba.
after configuring and running samba to connect( i use linneighborhood) my 
main windows machine(not a server, just one of the two machine that forms my 
home network), I could use the internet connection and the folders that were 
allowed to be shared on the windows machine.
however the internet connection (using a telephone based modem on he windows 
machine) gave me a thought ..... is it possible to access the sound, video, 
tv tuner card on the windows machine
from he linux machine on the network.
the solution or the possible lack of it will help me understand more about 
how linux/neworking works
and would be highly appreciated

thanks,
