Hello list,
Some days ago i sent an email to this ML about a problem im having with listing
users on winXP/2k+3 computers.
The thing is our samba PDC has +1600 users and, this time i counted, there only
appear on the "security advanced settings" list box (where we select
users that
can read/write/execute on a windows directory share), about 500/550 users.
There is no evident reason for it to happen! The first account that gets listed
starts with aa* and the last one which appears is "zmonteiro" (our
last user).
Now, after some more tests, i found out that this is only happening on winXP
professional SP2 and win2003 server.
I took some screenshots so anybody that is willing to help me can check out my
problem:
1? http://lms.ispgaya.pt/goodies/sambaXP/erro_XP_cant_find.JPG
2? http://lms.ispgaya.pt/goodies/sambaXP/jaam_windows_2000.jpg
on the first image we can see a logged in user on my domain (jaam) and,
allthough c:\documents and settings\jaam\Desktop got automatically assigned
ISPGAYA\jaam as its owner, that user cant be found when we look for it on the
domain! (which is pretty stupid and weird).
the second image shows us the user "jaam" being found on my domain!
(on a
windows 2000 professional).
I dont quite understand what is happening here! I assume this is a winXP/2k+3
related problem but that isnt quite a answer for our network (since we have
more then 100 winXP workstations and less then 15 win 2000 workstations)!
Can anybody share some info on this?
My smb.conf is available here:
http://lms.ispgaya.pt/goodies/sambaXP/smb.conf
I can list two different users on my MySQL database:
mysql> select * from user where nt_username='jaam';

PS2: if anybody needs more information please email me!!!
PS3: im currently using samba 3.0.0!
PS4: when i upgraded to samba 3.0.13, allthough the authentications work
correctly, i cant get any user listed on my domain! :o/ [that is why im still
using 3.0.0] (i obviously used the same exact configuration from 3.0.0 to
3.0.13...with the small difference that the mysql table changed (as you all
know, it has now two new fields (bad_password_count int(9),logon_count int(9))
Thanks in advance,

SOLVED! Re: [Samba] problem with listing users on winXP/2k+3
Hello all, I havent got any replies on this matter but, since this can interest any future users, i leave the solution for the problem i reported! After a *lot* of tests [which involved installing a winXP and win2k+3 without any patches], i came to find that the problem was related to Windows and *not* samba related! Allthough the users arent listed on windows [via the typical gui], i could list them all via the "net user /domain" command! I was also able to add a share to a specific user using rmtshare (from the NT resource kit) and cacls (for managing Access Lists). Hope this helps anybody! ;o) Best, Lu?s Silva Quoting Lu?s Miguel Silva <lms@ispgaya.pt>:> Hello list, > > Some days ago i sent an email to this ML about a problem im having > with listing > users on winXP/2k+3 computers. > > The thing is our samba PDC has +1600 users and, this time i counted, > there only > appear on the "security advanced settings" list box (where we select > users that > can read/write/execute on a windows directory share), about 500/550 users. > > There is no evident reason for it to happen!
