Hi, Is it possible?, say I want to install a windows-based database MS SQL relational database application into a SAMBA via a Windows XP Pro workstation. Say, I have server-based database application which is normally installed DIRECTLY into Windows NT/200x server machine on a CD that is MS Windows formatted. I have this CD which has everything in it, simply follow the steps to normally install into a Windows NT/200X server. BUT the PCs I have is a SAMBA 3 server and one workstation running Windows XP Pro. Because I do not have an MS Windows server...

...refer people to page 28 of John Terpstra's excellent Samba 3 By Example (http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf), where he writes: Windows 9x/Me are unaffected by the parameter. However, this disables the ability to upload printer drivers to a Samba server via the Windows NT/200x Add Printer Wizard or by using the NT printer properties dialog window. It also disables the capability of Windows NT/200x clients to download print drivers from the Samba host on demand. Be extremely careful about setting this parameter. The alternate parameter use client driver applies only t...

Hi everyone This is a simple question by a person who knows nothing about windows. The solution is at http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS- printing.html#id2618536 Under the heading Print Options for All Users Can't Be Set on Windows 200x/XP My problem is step I. Open the Printers folder Where is this? the only thing I can find is "printers and faxes" in control panels. Am I missing something really obvious? why can't microsoft just use unix? tony

Hi all, I have been reading throught the manual that accompanied the Samba 3.0(beta) distribution. I am unable to understand ... "Samba-3 is capable of acting fully as a native member of a Windows 200x server Active Directory domain. However, please be aware that Samba-3 support the MS Windows 200x domain control protocols also. At this time any appearance that Samba-3 is capable of acting as an ADS Domain Controller is limited and experimental in nature." In a less protocol and more ap...

After changing from 2.x to 3.0 I get these messages: rpc_server/srv_util.c:get_domain_user_groups(376) get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [fred] is not a Domain group ! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that I understand why this is: fred's group needs to be mapped like so net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=<fred's

Am going thru the learning curve on using samba as a primary controller. Samba is up and running just fine. However, I'm a bit confused on the ntlogin.pol thing. I'm gathering, if all the workstations are winxp, I need to do this?? "Go to the Windows 200x/XP menu Start->Programs->Administrative Tools and select the MMC snap-in called Active Directory Users and Computers Select the domain or organizational unit" I don't see the mmc snap-in. Or should I still be using poledit on samba 3.1? If so, if someone has a source for the 3 co...

Hi! All: I'm working on add unicode support in samba. However, I meet a question = as the following description, please advise me.

Hi all, I've setup Samba 3.0.5 + OpenLDAP (ldapsam) and everything work correctly. However, while my Windows 200x workstation join the domain, I need to join it twice. Here is what I do: 1. Go to Computer properties -> Computer Name -> Change 2. Enter the new domain name 3. Enter Administrator and password then, it will return me that the user name cannot be found. I've checked the LDAP directory...

I have a Windows 200x AD Server and have a Linux box as a client connected to the Windows domain having modified the native Kerberos, smb.conf, and other files (not using Likewise). It logs in to the domain fine and everything is happy. There are NO local accounts in /etc/passwd except for the defaults out of the box....

You should see an initial listing of printers that matches the printer shares defined on your Samba host... * Running a GUI (Printer Properties and Add Printer Wizard) from any Windows NT/200x/XP client workstation. The latter option is probably the easier one (even if the process may seem a little bit weird at first).

Quoting from the documentation: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html#machine-trust-accounts "When the user elects to make the client a domain member, Windows 200x prompts for an account and password that has privileges to create machine accounts in the domain."

John, We previously corresponded on our testing of Samba 3.0.0 RC4. Since then, we have downloaded the Samba 3.0.0 Release version for testing with some interesting results. The Setup Major Networks: Solaris (NIS), Windows Native NT4 Domain Our Test Plan We are testing Samba 3.0 as a candidate for replacing the old NT4 Domain. Being a complex production networking environment, we replicated

Yo Zed, Just curious -- what do you think of the LiteSpeed server? Is it better than Lighty? Does it (gasp!) also serve Rails apps like Mongrel? I think I read that LiteSpeed doesn''t have proxying support. Thanks, Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

From: Feizhou > I know what a Kerberos authentication system is. > You mean a core component in Samba 3.0's functionality as an ADS client. You're still artificially limiting your understanding. Kerberos (with the MS extensions in the case of 200x/XP) is how objects authenticate each other and grant tickets for access in a Kerberos realm. Samba can use Kerberos how it sees fit. As a client/member server (with MS Extensions) to native MS ADS DCs, or to 200x/XP clients in the absence of native MS ADS DCs. The issue is when you have native MS...

Hi, The Samba documentation recommends that a Windows WINS server is used for WinNT/200x clients, i.e. http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/howto/NetworkBrowsing.html#id2531484 says "In a mixed NT/200x server and Samba environment on a Wide Area Network, it is recommended that you use the Microsoft WINS server capabilities." But there's no justification as to why Sam...

...just as easily be used to authenticate users for access to any PAM-enabled application." I understand the second part to this sentence. That is, Samba provides 'pam_winbind.so' which allows, through PAM, users for PAM-aware applications to be authenticated via WinBind to a Windows NT/200x box. What I don't quite grasp is why the module "allows Samba to obtain authentication information from any MS Windows Domain Controller". I searched the mailing list, and found a thread in which John Terpstra had said that "smbd can use winbind directly" (http://lists.sam...

...s (not root) who would be in Domain Admins group, and would have the permissions to add machine to domain. I can confirm that locally (I used sudo without password) as any of the users of ntadm group, and each and everyone of them can add a user to the passwd file. They are also local admins on NT/200X/XP machines when they log in on windows side, but neither of them can add a machine to domain via the windows GUI. The only user that can do that is the user root. I have googled a lot, and all I could find was the user has to be Domain Admin, and he has to have the unix rights to add the machine...
