I was playing with this on my test machine, (redhat 5.2, samba 2.0.3) worked great, and I was really impressed. So I decided to install this on my office machine. (redhat 4.2, samba 2.0.3) and the only significant difference is that on the office machine, I use encrypted passwords. I cannot get swat to authenticate on the second machine. That is, no matter what account, password combination it refuses to allow me to connect. I can't find any error logs for swat. Can anyone give me some help ? thanks bob
Master Browser Elections are decided according to master browser election protocol. The protocol establishes the following criteria: Election Protocol Version -- not used yet Operating System Type Time On-Line Hostname There are some other modifiers, but these are the general criteria. For extensive information get John D. Blair's book _SAMBA:__Integrating_UNIX_and_Windows_ and see the section "The Browser Election Protocol" on page 42.

I setup a file on the server in the directory where all application data files are located and whenever a user starts the application up from a workstation (or the server for what its worth) I add a record to the file and lock it. So, if there were four instances of the application running there would be four locked records. The record included the workstation ID, date/time, and a user login name. During program initialization before the program writes and locks the a new record it first reads through the file counting all the currently locked records. If the number of locked records exceeded the number of licensed users an appropriate message is displayed and the application terminates. It's a kind of dumb solution to the problem but it works. If one of the instances of the application bombs for whatever reason the record is automatically unlocked. Part of the logic of the startup process checks to see if there are no locked records (meaning this is the only instance of my application running) in which case the file is purged so it now only contains one record, which keeps it from growing to an unseemly size. There's no guarantee this is hacker proof but it works and I haven't had any problems with the 300+ sites using the multi-user version of the application. Regards, Scott
I've been placed with an odd task...and SMB and Windows networking itself are bad juju to me, so I'm certainly having a hassle with it. A number of users want to be able to do cross-subnet browsing. That isn't a problem... I know how to do that. With WINS at least. Although if cross- subnet browsing can be done without WINS (and without enabling UDP broadcasts across a hundred subnets), I'd love to hear how. The problem is, we want to be able to control the machines that register themselves with the Samba WINS server. In fact, we'd gladly turn off "registering" at all, and run total with an lmhosts file. This is generally to prevent people from plugging their box in as an arbitrary BOX from workgroup WORKGROUP and fooling others into thinking they're really that machine. I know "Workgroups" and WINS itself are generally aging concepts, but I'm dealing with about 6500 machines running anything from Win3.1 to NT5 betas. WINS seemed to be the lowest common denominator. Our DNS naming scheme generally appears as <User>.<Department>.Dal.Ca. IPs are not dynamic. What I'd LIKE to do is generate an lmhosts file that says "<Department>\<User> <IP>". Basically, take each machine, and shove it into a particular workgroup with a particular name, and if the user doesn't like it they'll just have to get over it. CAN this be done? I know the MS lmhosts files had a G: option of some sort, to specify which workgroup the machine was in, but Samba (as of 1.9 at least) doesn't appear to grok that. I hope what I'm trying to do is at least visible... as I read over my own explanation it sounds like such a mess. To make it worse, we're in a mixed protocol environment here (IPX and TCP/IP, although almost all the machines have IP, I'm sure).
I have 100 PC's, 90 of which I would like to allow guest to print, 10 which I would like to require a username/password. I see that I can add "include = /etc/smb.conf.%m" in the smb.conf, and have the [printers] share defined in that file. I guess I could have two files and 98 links with the names of each client, but perhaps there is another way? If anyone can make a suggestion I would appreciate it.

Second, what are you other browse settings? If you don't want samba to be the master browser *ever*, then you should try the following: local master = no domain master = no preferred master = no OS level = 0 You don't need to use TCPdump to sniff packets; just up the debug level on samba (nmbd actually) and you'll see the log files fill with interesting messages about browse master, etc. Also, running smbclient -L hostname will show a browse list if that host has one. There should also be a way to use nmblookup to find the current browse master.

I think the windoze client upper-cases all passwords before sending them (whereas passwords on the linux/unix host are definitely case sensitive). You get the PAM authentication failure because the all upper case password is incorrect. That's why samba has the password level setting in smb.conf to allow multiple tries with different case (but each unsuccessful try will generate a PAM auth failure). This was discussed on the list a while back; you need to search the archives. Look in /etc/pam.d for the configuration stuff.

how can i configure swat to use smbpasswd not /etc/passwd? is there a known problem with swat and mixed upper/lowercase passwords? Mit freundlichen Gr??en NCI/Lingen Tel: 02166 /27 2646 eMail: Peter.Lingen@wrh.acab.alcatel.de
Just a general inquiry for a new user to the SAMBA suite of products. I currently use samba to connect to our offices WIN 95' NT 4.0 clients. I have been succesful in using smbclient to connect to shares. But after connecting how do I change directory to anything with a space in it such as 'IP info' .. If I try cd IP info.. it replies something like: unrecognized directory 'IP' other problem: I use SWAT to configure the smb.conf file .. however I cannot specify which smb.conf to configure... I currently have it located in my /etc directory on server1. However when I push the view icon in my web browser it tells me that I am configuring a smb.conf file on another computer. (It just happens to be my firewall) is this because I have netscape configured for a proxy? It's faking out SWAT? other question: I ran across a program several weeks ago called tkchooser, it is supposed to be a graphical tk interface for the Samba suite, has anybody used or configured this puppy? I have installed it, but after running the install script and the tkchooser program nothing happens. Any suggestions? Is it worth it? Is there anything else that would have this functionality?

Hi, I have found a possible bug in SWAT. It was possible to view all the SWAT pages without providing a user/password. A login dialog appears everytime you are accessing a page but if you go back and forward a page using the Buttons of MS IE 5.0 you are able to see the whole configuration. I was not able to change anything but the knowlege which users exitst could be a advantage to an attacker. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

I just upgraded from 2.0.5a to 2.0.7, and now when I run SWAT I notice that some of the icons are missing. I get the Samba log, and then on the second line I get the icon for home, status, view, and password. I see that the GIFs for printers, shares and globals exist in the images directory, but not on the web page. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, You should update the SWAT doc page (swat8.html). I bought a RedHat distribution, and I spend a log time to try to make SWAT work. Actually, RH 7.0 uses xinetd, not inetd. And the syntax is very different... I havn't succeeded yet to make SWAT work. I'd like to get a translation of the line I was supposed to add in inetd.conf.
create a file in your /etc/xinetd directory called swat (touch
/etc/xinetd/swat), then open it and put in this:
# default: off
# 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
}
If you are using the 2.0.7 version of SAMBA installed from rpm, this
file should already be there. The trick is to comment out(or remove)
the "disable=yes" line as I did above. After you do edit it, be sure
to
start/stop xinetd (I found that restarting it doesn't work very well...)
HTH,
Mike

I am trying to configure up a fresh install of samba-2.2.2 on RH7.2. Once it has compiled and installed, I attempt to start SWAT with no success. I have confirmed that inetd.conf has the swat line in it, and I have also confirmed that services has the netbios listings in it. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I just installed samba and when trying to use swat, my passwd and username are not accepted? Any suggestions
You need to use the root system password, not root samba password.

If you want to start swat with no password required, (bad security), add the -a option to the swat command in your /etc/inetd.conf file. Joel
Last week I wrote about a problem when logging into Swat. Swat will not authenticate correctly. I ran swat with the -a option, but when I go to create a users it tells me it is not allowed to create users in demo mode. All I want the damn thing to do is authenticate my root account for admin purposes.... Thanks

On two alphas running Tru64 4.0F and 4.0G After upgrading from samba 2.0.x to 2.2.2 and to samba 2.2.3a I am on longer able to use swat to view globals and shares in the advanced view. I get authenticates fine, can change passwords, everything it seems except I cannot use the advanced view. Tried various browsers - all act the same way. The samba.gif is displayed, but no page beyond that ever appeared. The browser just sits trying to load the page. Occsionally I get a partial page with the advanced view for shares, but never in the globals section. It just sits saying "36K read" and nothing loads. Once the browser gave a quick someting about a javascript error, but it was so fast I couldn't get it. Swat worked perfectly at 2.0.x - no go with 2.2.2 ans 2.2.3a. Any ideas? Thanks - Mike

You didn't answer all of the other questions. And if you did do all of
the other steps I mentioned I have a couple of more questions. What
does "tail /var/log/messages" and "tail /var/log/secure" say
after
trying and failing to connect? Also, you didn't happen to mess with
your /etc/pam.d/* files did you? I had a buddy who had a similar
problem and I found out he was messing with winbind and incorrectly made
changes to /etc/pam.d/samba. Once I changed that file back to it's
original state, swat worked fine.

Having just gone through a bunch of documentation on this topic, and
actually having used a .src.rpm to good effect, this is not quite
correct.
kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm is the package you would use to rebuild the
various binary kernel-2.4.7-10.xxx.rpms. It puts the sources in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCE/... which is the work area for the rpm build
suite. If you play with them there, you mess up the rpm build area.
Normally, you do NOT want to drag in the .src.rpms!
kernel-source-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm and kernel-headers-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm
(note the .i386.) are the distributed sources that you can use to
build a custom kernel
NOTE: Red Hat has put out a number of kernel updates. The most recent
is 2.4.9-21. You can get them from ftp.redhat.com under
/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/* or from updates.redhat.com

Hi,
When I browse (konqueror) to http://localhost:901,
I always got the message:
"Could not connet to host localhost [port 901]"
Without the port number, I was able to display a
TestPage at localhost. Other browsers don't find the
port either.
I'm using Red Hat 7.2, Samba 2.2.1-3. I double checked
what I did:
/etc/services file lists:
swat 901/tcp
/etc/xinetd.d contains swat file
What else do I need for running swat? Help...

I could not get mine working until I placed the entry in. I am not sure if

I've been trying to get swat to work under rh7.3 and have had no luck. I've followed the instructions regarding the service file, xinet.d and etc. Yet, when I enter the http://server_ipaddress:901 I get nothing but can find http://server_ipaddress:901. I'm trying to access swat from an internal network. I have made the correct changes in the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files. Any ideas? Jon L. Miller MMT Networks Pty Ltd
Earlier I posted about the inetd.conf file not loading the services properly. I opened it up and figured out that it was because I copied the format that was already there. Each line had a # infront of it and I didn?t know that it was a comment. Duh! I removed it and up it came! However! swat still does not come up! The path is right. I verified it. Any ideas?

Maybe this isn't the place to ask but maybe it is. I upgraded one of my systems to 2.2.5 from 2.2.3 and swat quit working. It's not really critical, but it sure is convenient. I have checked the services file OK, the xinet.d directory has the swat script and it looks OK. I think I have PAM running OK but I am not 100% sure. Has anyone else seen or reported this. I used the 2.2.5 RPM from http://va.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/7.3/ Thank you. Tony McGrew WWW.Multicam.com
Joseph, Thank you for the answer. There is indeed no entry in the pam.d directory for swat. There is one for samba though. I have been trying to get it to go from these instructions http://samba.linuxbe.org/en/samba/learn/swat.html#installation I tried a copy of my currently working samba file called swat in the pam.d directory. I also tried putting exactly what these instructions said into a file called swat but I haven't had any luck. I have samba running on 5 boxes, and one time I had one of them running right with swat and was able to use swat from my windows box at the other end of the building. I have not been able to get any of the other boxes to run swat at all so if I can get it back on this one maybe I'll learn enough to get it on the other ones also. If you have any idea of what the swat file should be in the pam.d directory or any other direction I would appreciate it. Thanks.

For some reason, I can use swat no more with my Netscape browser. if I type the URL http://localhost:901 as I did before, I get an error "Server Error The following error occurred: Bad URL ... Please contact the administrator." In the /etc/services file I have a line "swat 901/tcp" and in the /etc/inetd.conf file I have a line "swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat". At this moment I was not able to find out what went wrong. Do you have any sugestions for me (I'm new to LINUX).

Just to get you running: You could circumvent the problem if it is just a
home network, and disable Swat authentication by adding the -a parameter to
you your swat file in /etc/xinetd.d:
"-a This option disables authentication and puts swat in demo mode. In
that
mode anyone will be able to modify the smb.conf file."
service swat
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
server_args = -a
log_on_failure += USERID
}

Hi All, Why Swat strips all comment lines from the smb.conf? I couldn't find any field or tab that deals with this, but when I edited the smb.conf with Swat, my smb.conf became 'nude', so to speak. Thanks in advance. Yousef -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
Yousef, SWAT stripped down your smb.conf file in order to optimize Samba. The smaller your smb.conf file, the better the performance you can get out of Samba. I understand that future versions of SWAT will most likely warn users of the impending changes to the smb.conf file that SWAT will make. Don't worry about the changes, they were made to speed up your Samba installation. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

As a user, I log into SWAT to change my password. I click on the password icon, enter the old password, enter the new password twice and click on "change password". I get this error: "machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change. Error was RAP86. The specified password is invalid. The passwd for "user1" has NOT been changed. Any idea what went wrong here?

You can access swat via webmin also check if you have it onto your linux
box, if you don't , install it from your distro CD, is very easy, once You
have installed it, check it as:
https://yourserverip:10000 , probe it if you have
trouble ask me no problem ok....

Sounds like you got something messed up in your dns settings. Check and make sure that you have localhost as one of your aliases. Add any other aliases you might need as well. As for telnet (obvious question) but is it started? Also does it work when you go to the ip address? -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+gmiller=eccbm.com@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+gmiller=eccbm.com@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of SoloCDM Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2003 2:46 PM To: Manuel_Casoluengo@cotyinc.com Cc: Samba (Request) Subject: [Samba] Re: SWAT On Tue, 29 Apr 2003 Manuel_Casoluengo@cotyinc.com wrote:> You can access swat via webmin also check if you have it onto > your linux box, if you don't , install it from your distro > CD, is very easy, once You have installed it, check it as: > https://yourserverip:10000 , probe it if you have trouble ask me no > problem ok....I didn't install webmin because it is too much of a security gap.

I have RedHat 8.0
I have swat enabled in my xinetd.d config file
like this
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = localhost
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
I have a firewall/router ...not to sure about firewalls but don't think its
the problem as it works for my windows boxes upstairs and I believe it accepts
all local area traffic
my hosts file is simple
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 linux8.puterland.ca linux8
tried changing the only_from line from localhost to 192.168.1.0/24
no work
it says
"the connection was refused when attempting to contact
192.168.1.1:901"
any ideas?
There might be a log called messages. This might be a firewall issue. What do you see with: iptables -L | less ? Try, as root, iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT This command is only safe if you have this machine behind a firewall or if it is not connected to the internet.

Flushing doesn't change policies. Maybe your INPUT policy is DROP.
