I guess so do I ;-)

Using the new approach I posted to samba-list earlier today, it is not
really all that tricky any more.  Watch for my reports on the list, you
may be able to implement what I've done at your site without too much
hassle.

It may even be possible for me to provide consultancy services to assist
you in those issues which you are not able to resolve.  There may be some
changes required for whatever hardware you run Windows 95 on, or for the
particular applications you run under Windows 95. (the latter especially
shouldn't be so much of a problem, using this technique - as vastly
opposed to the Microsoft way)

Hi,

W'll have a problem on our SUN Sparc server.
A lot of clients mounts a drive on this machine. That normaly goes well.

But since a copple off days w'll have a problem with the internel memory
(48 Mb).
I think that the problem occurs while the Samba processes did not killed
when a mount will disappeared.
So, the result is that it is not possible anymore for the O.S. to start
new processes because swap and internal memory are full.
Can anyone tell me of this is right and is there a way of  configure
Samba that this problem solved??
Thank you,

Jan den Elzen

HO un problema grandissimo.
Tutte le volte che il server sul quale e' configurato samba reboostrappa,
non si riesce piu' a stampare dalle stampanti condivise con samba.
Basta fare /etc/init.d/sambaserver stop
           /etc/init.d/sambaserver start   e tutto rifunziona.
Ho gia' messo nel crontab questo comando per far restartare i processi un 
minuto dopo che il server e' salito...ma non server...Deve prorpio essere 
fatto a mano.
I processi partono nel /etc/rc3.d con il seguente script : 

#!/bin/sh
#ident  "@(#)samba.server 1.0   96/06/19 TK"    /* SVr4.0 1.1.13.1*/
#

             /usr/bin/sed -e 's/^  *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
        [ "$pid" != "" ] && kill $pid
}
 
# Start/stop processes required for samba server

'start')
#

I have a big problem.
All the time that the server on which I have configured samba  made reboot,
it can not print by printers shared with samba.
If I made /etc/init.d/sambaserver stop
          /etc/init.d/sambaserver start  all work correctly.
I have olready put in the corntab 's root file this command for made restart
of the process exacly one minute later than the reboot , but is non sufficently
It must be do by hand .
The processes start in /etc/rc3.d whit the following script :

#!/bin/sh

I've been trying to use Samba to replace my Novell 3.2 server.
 I'm using a Paradox Database. Everthing seems to work but alas
 VERY SLOWLY. Any database operation (i.e. queries) takes forever and
 is unusable. My users and my boss are accustomed to a certain level
 of performance that I have been unable to achieve with Samba using
 better/faster hardware.

 Can Samba be configured to operate as fast as
 N3.2 for database operations?

I amm using Linux 5.2 and I assume Samba 2.0

Thanks

Hi all samba world.

I want to install 3 Linux Red Hat 5.2 with Samba.

1) One server for Authentication and Printing Only, this server will have
all users into. (AUT)
2) One server for Applications only without users into.(APP)
3) One server for Data only without users into.(DAT)

I want to add users only into Authentication Server.
I want to use users profiles to map drives automatically to server 2) and
3) . (I have tested this and It works fine).

Is it possible to get connected W95 clients with networks drives to
servers, APP & DAT only putting one only login & password for server AUT
?

I want to connect to domain LINUX, put a login and password and connect
drives to another servers into the same Domain with only one login &
password input and of course
I don't want to use PUBLIC sections ....

I have tested, but I need to keep the same /etc/passwd & /etc/group into
all servers or get the same login/password for each network drive ...

Is there any form to perform this without put the same passwd & group in
all servers ???

Could you help me, please?

Thanks a lot in advance ....

We have install samba in our Sun Solaris environment, and we are able to add
one
client, however, adding more has not been a success.

smb.conf has the changes and when I tried to add one more user and mount my
pc
[client] drive to my server \\anyname\thenamegiveninsmb.conf it says that
name of
server doesn't match. Also, I tried to add another co-worker and he gets
connected
to the point it asks for his password, but it gives an error message that
his password
is not correct.

We tried to keep the logins and passwords consistent on the server and on
the PC.

Can you please help?

Thanks,

Hi,
I installed the new version of samba on RedHatr's update sight and now I
cannot mount my volumes on my win machine.

I use to use this set of commands that worked perfectly.
/usr/bin/smbmount //sknebel/Mac sknebel -c 'mount /home/samba/Mac'
/usr/bin/smbmount //aknebel/c ann -c 'mount /home/samba/winC'
/usr/bin/smbmount //aknebel/e ann -c 'mount /home/samba/winE'
/usr/bin/smbmount //aknebel/d ann -c 'mount /home/samba/winD'

Now it tells me unknown command ann which was my password and unknow
option -c.

I looked at the list of options and syntax when I just typed smbmount and
hit return and tried this 

 smbmount //aknebel/d mount /home/samba/winD -N

This now tells me that It couldnot resolve the mount point.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Rick

I have installed samba during installation of freebsd. It turned out not
to install as the samba man pages suggest, nor did the freebsd ports
collection. Does this create any particular changes in the smb.conf file
or other configuration parameters, that I need to take care of.

Does anyone have a smb.conf for the following simple situation. I am
setting up a local network of 4 to 8 Win95 machines, a printer hooked to
the ethernet, and a freebsd running samba to function as a printserver
for the PC's. The freebsd machine can print fine at the moment. I like
to get an example of how to configure the win95's and samba. Please,
send me advice on how to set this up including explicit example smb.conf
fiel and setup of the win95 network controllpanel that work together.

Do I need to create a particular user in the unix system for the
pc-ursers. Normally, they will not have their own account on the freebsd
machine.

To whom it may concern

     I have installed samba 2.0 beta 5 and have it running succesfully in our
production environment. May I ask you to help me figure out how to run the
executable ../samba/bin/addtosmbpasswd. Is its function to add users to the
smbpasswd file. I also tried to run the program ./addtopasswd < user id >
and
recieved several syntax errors.

      I also contacted Mr. Michal Jagermann who wrote this script and he emailed
me the following:

          " It is written for nawk (which was "new awk" some 20
years ago),
which
          also means that implementations like gawk, mawk or any other POSIX
          conformant one should work.  If you happen to have some ancient
version
          as 'awk' then probably you have also separate 'nawk'
executables.
          Try these.  The script also may need small adjustments depending on
          a presence or absence of NIS on your network. "

          " It seems to me that the current versions of Samba have much
better
          utilities to deal with passwords.  This script was written years ago
          when versions 1.6.x, or whereabouts, were current.  I am sort of
          surprised that it still stuck to Samba distributions. "

     I am sorry, but I do not quite understand his suggestion in the first
paragraph. May I ask you for some help.How do I use nawk to implement the
addtosmbpasswd script. In other words how do you run it?.

     I usually enter users to ../private/smbpasswd via the followng methods;

     1. The command ../bin/smbpasswd -add < user id >

     2. I  import the passwd file on nis via the command:
     ypcat passwd | mknissmbpasswd.sh > ../samba/private/smbpasswd

     3. I  cut and paste within the smbpasswd file.

Thanks

I just wanted to know if there was an easy way to map a 
windows 98 box drive on a network machine with my linux
system.  I can map my linux drives with windows but I can't
do the reverse.  I can see the windows machines threw web 
admin but when I try to see the shares it says there isnt
any.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am very fond of Samba.  In fact, I intend on using it to connect the server to
windows 95/98 clients in a small business situation.  It is the ideal for
home/small business setups.Thought I'd let you know.

To the SAMBA Team

You have done a remarkable job. With limited support you have done what
very large organizations have only attempted. Like so few others the
rewards you receive are in the use of the product and the faire praise
of just a few.

SAMBA works and we have it on a number of networks. It would appear that
a lot of folks are using SAMBA and have networks working quite well.
There are a number of things it must do to provide full networkability.
One is NT domain controlling.

It would appear that, in some respects, there is a loss of direction. I
certainly hope it is professional disagreements rather than issues of
personality that are causing the visible problems in this effort. I will
assume that the underlying issues are that there is a lot of ways SAMBA
can go and limited resources to get there. If that assumption is valid,
are you interested in a discussion with the "user" community? That
discussion may well include setting priorities as well as meaningful
support from the user community.

You have a real opportunity to make a difference. A product that will
not just replace the current commercial products, but improve on them. A
product that help prevent the subjugation of all networking to just one
vendor.

I for one hope SAMBA will continue to grow and provide all the services
necessary to successfully implement a network albeit small or large.

As I mentioned in earlier messages, the SSCOTT login works from the notebook,
but not the desktop
computer.  I can login from the desktop computer as SSCOTT2 and then everything
is okay.  I can login
as SSCOTT2 on the notebook and share everything properly as well.  I have
deleted the .PWL from
C:\WINDOWS without any effect, and I did restart everything, including Samba.  I
am currently trying
to remove the SSCOTT user from Linux and Samba, then I will re-add the user to
see if this clears up
anything.  The user will also be removed from both Windows computers as well.

  Steven,
  Actually, you shouldn't have any problem with your setup.  I also run
RH6.2 and
  sharing is really out of the box.

  Just try to delete all .pwl files on windows directory.  Re-login and make
sure
  that you entered the same password to your linux box.  one thing more... check
  your smbpasswd file if said users are included.

  I recommend that you use os level = 65 this could be useful if you have os
  election...

  I will try to examine your smb.conf further...

Hi, 

I'm using SAMBA 2.0.7 and managed to get it fired up and share between my
Windows environment. I discovered that whenever I enable firewall under lokkit,
all my access from Windows to Samba was denied. So I got to set 'No'
firewall to allow access.

I wanted to enable my firewall, pls advise me what should I do. Using IPchain?
If yes, how?

Very much appreciate.

Hello

I am trying to configure SAMBA on a UNIX box.  I want to join the SAMBA
server to my WINDOWS 2000 domain.  I've added the samba server NETBIOS name
to windows 2000.  When I run the command
smbpasswd -j (domain) -r (pdc name) I get the following error message.

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.

Can you tell me if I am missing something.  I have the instructions but they
are not working.

Thanks for your help

Hi Donna,
Should work;
Try removing the netbios name from you win2k domain, and re-adding it,
MAKING SURE that you check the box that says "Allow pre-Windows 2000
computers to use this account".
Then try your smbpasswd join again.  You might want to change your log level
= 10 so that if it fails you can peruse the resultant log file to get a
better picture of what's failing at that point...
Hope this helps,
Don

Did you do everything in that link sent earlier?  I had problems
starting swat until I followed that link.  What operating system are you
running Samba on?  If it's Red Hat 7.x, you have to set that link for
swat.

I'm out of ideas now.  What happens when you do 'smbclient -L
localhost'?  You should post to the Samba list samba@lists.samba.org. 
You'll get a lot more replies than if you just post to me.  Good luck,

Create a file /etc/xinetd.d/swat with the following contents:
 
# default: on
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
#              to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
#              connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
        port    = 901
        socket_type     = stream
        wait    = no
        #only_from = localhost
        user    = root
        server  = /usr/sbin/swat
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        #disable = yes
}

You might want to check to make sure that /etc/pam.d/samba exists with at
least the following contents:
auth    required        /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required        /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
 
A lot of the samba are built with pam enable.

Hello Donna,
This sounds like a browsing/name resolution issue to me, possibly.
What is the ipaddress/subnetmask of the samba server, and what is 
the ipaddress/subnetmask of the win2k server you are using.
And I am assuming that you mean that you rightclick on the samba server
icon, and choose properties, and that this is when you receive the error
message, right?

Thanks,
Don

Hi Don

I just wanted to thank you for all your help.  Everything you told me to do
worked.

I have another question though.

I have joined my SAMBA server to my W2k domain.  On the W2k server, when I
go to network neighborhood I do not see my SAMBA server in the list.  When I
explicitly share the server it comes up.  But when I try to get properties
on the shared SAMBA server it gives me the following error:

Ther server mysvr1 does not accept remote requests.

Could this be the reason I see it right away in network neighborhood?

Is there another parameter that needs to be set in SAMBA?

I put in the broadcast address in the "accounce as" parameter in
SAMBA.

Thanks again for your help

Hi Donna,
Yes, security=domain,workgroup=<win2k domain name>, password
server=<win3k
domain controller> and encrypt passwords=yes
in your smb.conf should take care of this for you - you shouldn't need an
smbpasswd file.
The UNIX users comming in via telnet and ftp will authenticate against the
/etc/passwd database, and the NT /WIN2K clients accessing your Samba shares
will authenticate against the WIN2K PDC (ie they will use their win2k
passwords).  YOU WILL need a /etc/passwd entry that matches the username for
each NT/WIN2k user that needs to access your samba shares (or do a man on
smb.conf and look at the username map parameter, if you want to map the NT
usernames to different UNIX usernames), but this is strictly for uid/gid
ownership and access of unix files thru samba; the authentication will be
done against the Win2k domain controller.

Hope this helps,
Don

OK, that worked.

Now my question is,

I am trying to eliminate using smbpasswd to create password accounts on the
samba server.  

Will joining my samba server to the W2k domain do that for me? I only want
to have to worry about a unix password and a w2k password.  Not a smbpasswd.

Hi Donna,
Should work;
Try removing the netbios name from you win2k domain, and re-adding it,
MAKING SURE that you check the box that says "Allow pre-Windows 2000
computers to use this account".
Then try your smbpasswd join again.  You might want to change your log level
= 10 so that if it fails you can peruse the resultant log file to get a
better picture of what's failing at that point...
Hope this helps,
Don

Nobody felt like answering any of my questions in a loooong time.  I still
use a passwd wrapper, which is risky at best (need to make it in c so u
can't cancel out of it).  It seems to me that unless they stop using
nsswitch.conf or get with sun to include winbindd as a valid nsswitch.conf
option, it will not work...or, use nsswitch.conf for operating systems that
can use it and some other file for those that can't...

I am running Redhat 7.4 and Samba to run the Windows PDC.  Because of someone
else setting up the Linux box, I have no room on the /home directory.  Can I set
a path other than home for Samba to save profiles on?  I really don't want
to reinstall lnux and have to set up partitions differently.   Or resize the
partitions to a larger size.  We want roaming profiles.

This is what worked for me with out the computer being a member in my
domain.

create a unix user called pcguest, use strict permissions (the default is
nobody in SAMBA)
create the samba password for pcguest 
create a directory public2 on /
$ su pcguest
$ cd /public2
$ exit
# want to make sure that pcguest has access to /public2


[global]
    guest account = pcguest
    map to guest = bad password

[public2]
   comment = Public2
   path = /public2
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   create mode = 0777
   directory mode = 0777
   ;guest = ok
   public = yes
   only guest = yes
   create mode = 0777
   directory mode = 0777
   force group = @pcguest
   force user = pcguest
#
# guest = ok gave me an error so I used public
#Have fun - SAMBA rules

Lawrence - No, you did not specify that the machine account had been created
in your email. I believe Den is correct. This error is the result of a
username/password mismatch on the NT PDC you are talking to (PRIMARYDC). So,
you could try a few different things:

1. Smbpasswd -j DYLNET -r PRIMARYDC -U <user>
	Supply a <user> that is valid in the domain and supply the password
when prompted

2. create a machine account in the domain and just run the 'smbpasswd -j
DYLNET -r PRIMARYDC' command without a user or password specified.

3. Failing either of those, use tcpdump (on your Linux box) or Ethereal to
watch the traffic between your client and the PDC.

Hope that helps.

Not sure I understand your question. Samba won't have anything to do with
logins to the Unix box. How you do authentication for login to a Unix box is
way off topic for this list (perhaps that's not really what you are asking?)

In truth, my comments were based on *very* recent experience (last week)
testing samba in an HP-UX/Solaris and Win2k/WINNT domain setup. (Some big
differences in auth and access). I just learned this stuff myself. I'm good
with Unix sysadmin. I'm an idiot with Windows sysadmin.

Good luck!

Sorry. Your need is recognosed but perhaps if you explained a little more
about your installation and how it is configured then we might be able to
help you.

I am not saying that this is the solution, however, if you were to post
a copy of your smb.conf file, it may allow us to shed some light on your
problem.

It may have something to do with your hosts allow parameter.  My line
looks like this:   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

This allows hosts from the specified class c networks and localhost to
use the smb/nmb services.

Here is the guidance from the smb.conf man page:

       hosts allow (S)
              A synonym for this parameter is allow hosts.

              This  parameter is a comma, space, or tab delimited set of
hosts
              which are permitted to access a service.

              If specified in the [global] section then it will apply
to  all
              services,  regardless  of  whether  the individual service
has a
              different setting.

              You can specify the hosts by name or IP number. For
example, you
              could restrict access to only the hosts on a Class C
subnet with
              something like allow hosts = 150.203.5.  . The  full
syntax  of
              the list is described in the man page hosts_access(5).
Note that
              this man page may not be present on  your  system,  so  a
brief
              description will be given here also.

              Note that the localhost address 127.0.0.1 will always be
allowed
              access unless specifically denied by a hosts deny option.

              You can also specify hosts by network/netmask pairs and by
net-
              group  names  if your system supports netgroups. The
EXCEPT key-
              word can also be used to limit a wildcard  list.  The
following
              examples may provide some help:

              Example 1: allow all IPs in 150.203.*.*; except one

              hosts allow = 150.203. EXCEPT 150.203.6.66

              Example 2: allow hosts that match the given
network/netmask

              hosts allow = 150.203.15.0/255.255.255.0

              Example 3: allow a couple of hosts

              hosts allow = lapland, arvidsjaur

              Example  4:  allow only hosts in NIS netgroup "foonet",
but deny
              access from one particular host

              hosts allow = @foonet

There is a patch here:

 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82

that I would like to install for my samba server but I do not see anywhere
documentining how to patch my server.  Can anyone shed some light on this for
me please?

Cheers

I have set up a basic smb.conf file

Dear sir/Madam,
 
I understand that SAMBA is used when converting UNIX systems - 
Microsoft systems.   I am currently studying at university and as part of my
module, we were given a hypothetical situation which we were to solve.This
hypothetical company are currently using the UNIX operating
system and we were wanting to change them to Microsoft.   We understand that
they could lose their work due to this change.
  
 Could you please inform me of the cost of this transversion for one 
PC and any training that would be required.
 
Yours faithfully

Even hypothetical, a company that *WANTS* to switch to MS....does this not make
sense to
anyone else? ;)

Samba is really used to integrate a UNIX system into an existing MS network. If
you are
moving to an all MS network, there is no reason for Samba. You could use Samba
if you
planned a slow transition and wanted to still store your data on UNIX servers
and have it
accessible by people using Windows workstations. The cost of this transition on
one PC
would be about $300 for the Windows license ;) As for training, the only people
that would
need to learn to use Samba are the System Administrators.
