Hi All: I have problems with maintain tdb files. From samba doc, these files are classified into persistent and temporary. From the man page of smbd, these file are classified into persistent and not. However, there are some files no need to backup but need to be persistent (netsamlogon_cache.tdb), and some files need to backup but not need to be persisten (registry.tdb). There are also some .dat files also mentioned in samba FAQ that need to be deleted under particular case (change ip address). How can I maintain these tdb/dat files? Which file needed to be deleted when samba restarts? Which files should be ket and backup regularly?I believe some tdb files can't be kept because of size problem. I also noticed join domain would have problem if browse.dat and gencache.tdb keep wrong data. Please give me some advice. Thanks in advance, Latrell.From noop79 at gmail.com Fri Jul 7 04:36:51 2006 From: noop79 at gmail.com (Anoop Bhat) Date: Fri Jul 7 04:39:11 2006 Subject: [Samba] kerberos admin_server Message-ID: <b29aaeb50607062136g6ffa3f0re9b396b9afe9d821@mail.gmail.com> Hi, My krb5.conf has an admin_server value that is the domain controller in my win2k3 AD domain. However, the domain controller is not listening on port 749. Should that port value be something else? wbinfo -u or wbinfo -g fails as well and I'm wondering if the admin_server value has anything to do with it. or is it the kdc server value? ofcourse, I'm going to try and read up on this as well but any help is appreciated. :) thanks Anoop

My Problem is, I am running my samba server in a virtual xen domain which is running on a rootnfs filesystem. And the locking files should not reside on a nfs file system. :-( Now I am thinking about putting the lock files on a tmpfs ramdisk but I don't know which files have to be backed up and which not. Or does anybody has another solution for the locking files? What about the tdb files in the private directory? Do these files also have problems with nfs? Thanks in advance Florian
