I started smbd nmbd then ran the command 'wbinfo -A DOAMIN+adm%passwd'
which gave this error:
could not obtain winbind separator!
As you can see the second error was fixed but I still get the winbind
separator error. Winbid crashed when I tried to start it after running
the command above.
Any other ideas?
Thanks for the reply.

SWAT provides the password change facility you are looking for. If you
prefer a command line tool, smbpasswd has the same functionality - check
the -U and -r options. The smbpasswd man page documents the password
change options.
If you need further help email me.

Well, you could start by running Samba V2.2.7, which is the current
production release. 2.0.7 is quite old now.
Please do not cross-post to the samba-technical and samba@samba.org lists.
These lists have separate purposes. The samba@samba.org list is for
community support, questions, answers, discussions about desired
improvements, etc. The samba-technical list is for developer technical
discussions; protocols, code details, etc.. It is very, very rare that a
message belongs on both lists. Yours is clearly a question for the
samba@samba.org list.

Hmm, offhand, I'll just ask that you verify you're running the wbinfo
that
you
think you are, and that the smb.conf is getting read from where you think it
is... If that doesn't work, crank up the debug level.

i don't really know how to do this but since nobody else has responded
i'll give you my guess...
i think you just rename the the ntuser.dat file to ntuser.man to
configure a mandatory profile.

huh - swat?
i think swat is for configuring smb.conf, etc from a web broswer.
You can change the unix and samba passwords from swat but i don't know
of any way to change a remote windows password with swat (unless winbind
is in play)

this is what i'm looking for - i expected the remote password changing
tools to part of smbclient but i guess it is just as logical for it to
be a part of smbpasswd.
smbpasswd -r may work for me...

Yes, it is - sort of. You need to obtain the MS Windows XP Resource Kit,

I believe the 13 character name was a non-unicode limit. smbclient
does not support unicode yet.

Subject: [Samba] Copied file becomes infinately large
I'm trying to back-up a set of windows machines onto a single Linux
machine, so that I can easily make a tape from there.
The Linux Machine (RedHat 7.3, running samba 2.2.6), is set to use
mount.smbfs to log in to each machine's Administrative share, and copy
several files from the hard drive.
One machine is giving me a great deal of difficulty, however.
Our last remaining window's fileserver (the rest have been converted),
makes a backup of it'self every night, and stores it on the F: drive.
This is easily completed in an hour or so.
On the Linux machine, it is set to try to log in to the fileserver, and
copy the file, every morning at 11:30am. The file (FullBackup.bcf) is
7.1 gig on the windows machine, but, left to it's own devices, Samba
never stops copying it.. The file grows until it fills the entire
filesystem!
mkdir /mnt/bkp/BackupServer >> /etc/sambalog 2>&1=20
mkdir /mnt/bkp/BackupServer/BackupDir >> \etc\sambalog 2>&1
cp -R -u /mnt/smb/folder /mnt/bkp/BackupServer/BackupDir=20
Does anyone have any suggestions to why this might be happening?
I'm really at a loss.. It happens no matter what filesystem I give the
destination disk, so I think it must be an issue during the copy..

Correct, but you also need to update the ACEs (Access Control Entries) on
the profile using the profile manager. To access the profile manager you
must log on as the Domain Administrator, Right-Click on "My Computer",
select "Properties". On Windows XP, click on "Advanced",
then click on
User Profiles "settings".
Now, select the profile you want to assign as a mandatory profile, click
on "Copy To". Enter into the box "Copy Profile To" A valid
destination
disk/share location and account name. eg: C:\temp\Fred
Now click on "Permitted to Use: Change", then click on
"Advanced", then
click on "Find Now". In the box that opens below, select ALL the user
accounts that should be able to use this profile.
Now select the "Locations" from which this profile may be used, and
also
edit the "Select this object type" info.
Now click "Ok", and in the next screen "Ok" again. The
profile will now be
copied over and the permissions will be set to allow the groups/users you
set to use it.
Now log on as that user and edit the environment to suit your needs. When
you are happy with it, rename NTUser.DAT to NTUser.Man.
You now have a shared mandatory profile.
It's all in the MS Windows NT/2K/SP resource kits.

2.0.x Samba has a hard coded limit to the number of open files.
If you want to continue using it, change the value in include/local.h
and recompile.
Samba 2.2.x makes this limit dynamic, you might want to upgrade.

Check the lower password change boxes in the SWAT password page. IT is
specifically to allow user passwords on remote machines to be changed.

This is a known limitation of the fact that samba-2.x does NOT support
true UniCode on the wire. This limitation should disappear in Samba-3.0.0
since it handles UniCode.

Subject: [Samba] SAMBA doesn't like me anymore :(
Hi All,
Okay, SAMBA officially doesn't like me or something.
Here's the poop:
- Brand-new FreeBSD 4.7 box
- SAMBA 2.2.6pre2 (built from the ports tree)
- I have dual NICs, one on 192.168.1 (students) the other on 192.168.2
(staff)
- I need two operational workgroups "STUDENTS" & "STAFF"
each tied to their
own interface.
- This machine needs to do all the authentication stuff, dunno if that
requires it to be a PDC (strictly Win9X machines), and if you can run
two PDC's...
Yesterday morning I had it launching two seperate instances of smbd and nmbd
at the same time, one for workgroup "STAFF" the other for
"STUDENTS". I
started adding more features to smb.conf.staff and smb.conf.students and
somewhere along the way I broke it. I can no longer start up two instances
anymore :(
This is now desperate for me, I need to swap out the old 2.0.* server this
weekend. One major reason for the upgrade is the dual workgroup setup as it
wasn't supported in 2.0.* .
I've even gone back to bare bones conf files, but apparently that wasn't
what caused it to stop working in the first place I guess.
The problem is that it seems to be ignoring the --pidfile directive :(
Here's my startsamba script:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/sbin/smbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.staff
/usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.staff
/usr/local/sbin/smbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.students --pidfile
/var/run2/smbd.pid
/usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.students --pidfile
/var/run2/smbd.pid
The first set places the .pid files in /var/run which has
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel
so I created /var/run2 with the same permissions.
Again, this worked for the better part of a day yesterday...
My (now) minimal conf files are:
> [global]
> workgroup = STAFF
> hosts allow = 192.168.2 127.
> interfaces = 192.168.2.200/24
>
> [homes]
> comment = "Home Directory of %u"
> guest ok = no
> read only = no
> browseable = no
> writeable = yes
Only difference is the workgroup = STUDENTS and the IP stuff for their .conf
file.
log.smbd reads:

log.nmbd reads:

So obviously for some reason it's now ignoring the --pidfile directive and
trying to dump it into the default locaction of /var/run ...
Again, I had these two running simultaneously yesterday, but when I was
stumped with the trust stuff (moving up from 2.0.* which as I recall didn't
have them) I must have done something stupid to break it :(
help?

I think you're missing acl-dev.
Furthermore you need to "activate" ACL in Debian's Samba-packages
by
hand.
I described what I did to get ACL with Samba (and XFS as the
filesystem) working here: http://homex.subnet.at/~max/comp-12_xfs.php
Hope this helps.
So long,

May be completely unrelated, but does anyone know if the latest
smbclient forks a child which returns the file list to stdout, and then
the parent writes the prompt to stdout? I was once in a situation where
multiple children took turns writing to stdout. The output was correct
if I ran the file by itself, or if I captured the output using 'script',
but piping stdout to a file caused the output to be all out of order.
It may be completely unrelated because this was in minix, but it may be
a place to start looking. CVS access is firewalled off here :(, so I
can't check the src myself.

I've written a python wrapper around the smbclient program, so that I

Using smbclient 2.0.9 or Version 2.2.5-2 for Debian, my wrapper works
well and is able to control the smbclient process via pipes well. With
both smbclient 2.999+3.0cvs20020723-1 and 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 (on a
Debian box) the smbclient responses appear to be not always BEFORE the
new smbclient command prompt. I expect this kind of behaviour:
smb: \> ls
Ranger D 0 Tue Nov 20 12:45:40
2001
telix D 0 Tue Nov 20 14:56:28
2001
DOS D 0 Tue Nov 20 14:57:32
2001
65526 blocks of size 32768. 65526 blocks available
smb: \>
But with the more recent smbclient versions I get this:
smb: \> ls
smb: \>
Ranger D 0 Tue Nov 20 12:45:40
2001
telix D 0 Tue Nov 20 14:56:28
2001
DOS D 0 Tue Nov 20 14:57:32
2001
65526 blocks of size 32768. 65526 blocks available
And once I saw this:
smb: \> ls
Ranger D 0 Tue Nov 20 12:45:40
2001
telix D 0 Tue Nov 20 14:56:28
2001 smb: \>
DOS D 0 Tue Nov 20 14:57:32
2001
65526 blocks of size 32768. 65526 blocks available
As I look for the command prompt to know smbclient has finished giving
me the reply, this messes things up.
I control smbclient via popen4() in python2.1. I've found this strange
placement in the prompt to be the reason my code isn't working, via
running smbclient like this:
c = popen2.Popen4("smbclient //machine/c -N | tee /tmp/smb_out.txt)
And watching smb_out.txt (Popen3() acts the same way).
Is this likely to be an issue with how python talks to the process ? I
have not included a test case in this mail because it would make it
longer than it already is, but can provide one.
Note that when I talk to the smbclient myself (via starting one from a
shell) it appears to act normally.
Is there anymore information I could provide to help find out why this
occurs ?
Thanks,
Nick

Colin,
I know that on Windows, when you copy and Immensely large single
file,
there are times when it will show something like 100 years in minutes to
complete the copy.
Your issue could be related to that issue with Windows. You say that
you
copy files over from several other systems without a problem. Are those
files on the other systems single small files or are they also in giant
back-up format?
One thing to test this would be to create a similarly large .zip or
.bcf
file on one of the other machines that your Samba system logs into. Then
run your copy routine. If it appears to also create an infinitely large
file, you will have more information to work with.
At this time, that is the only thing that I can suggest. If it does
appear to be simply related to the size of the .bcf file, you might want
to setup the Windows back-up to chop that 7.1 gigs into much smaller
chunks.
I hope that I have been a little helpful. Good luck.

Subject: [Samba] Copied file becomes infinately large
I'm trying to back-up a set of windows machines onto a single Linux
machine, so that I can easily make a tape from there.
The Linux Machine (RedHat 7.3, running samba 2.2.6), is set to use
mount.smbfs to log in to each machine's Administrative share, and copy
several files from the hard drive.
One machine is giving me a great deal of difficulty, however.
Our last remaining window's fileserver (the rest have been converted),
makes a backup of it'self every night, and stores it on the F: drive.
This is easily completed in an hour or so.
On the Linux machine, it is set to try to log in to the fileserver, and
copy the file, every morning at 11:30am. The file (FullBackup.bcf) is
7.1 gig on the windows machine, but, left to it's own devices, Samba
never stops copying it.. The file grows until it fills the entire
filesystem!
mkdir /mnt/bkp/BackupServer >> /etc/sambalog 2>&1
mkdir /mnt/bkp/BackupServer/BackupDir >> \etc\sambalog 2>&1
cp -R -u /mnt/smb/folder /mnt/bkp/BackupServer/BackupDir
Does anyone have any suggestions to why this might be happening?
I'm really at a loss.. It happens no matter what filesystem I give the
destination disk, so I think it must be an issue during the copy..
Colin
