We're using Samba 3.0.21a-1 on a CentOS 4.2 server (kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp); everything works more or less fine, it's functioning as the PDC with an OpenLDAP back end (setup essentially straight from the Idealx.org playbook), etc. We're trying to mount Windows shares to back them up, and getting "permission denied" errors when trying to read certain files from those

I have been working through the processes of getting my server up...( thanks to the help of John T. !!! I am now on page 167/168. It states...

Hi, I got samba 3.0.26a on my Fedora 7, and when i try to add users with smbpasswd -a username, it only works if the user exists as a linux user... i got a Centos 4.4 system with samba 3.0.10 and it works even if the user doesn't exists on the system. Can anyone explain me why this happens? is it from this new version (3.0.26a) or may be a problem of Fedora 7?

I'm setting up a new domain with Samba 3.0.30 as the PDC using the tdbsam backend. 'net group' yields an empty list, which is consistent with the cautious appoach that Samba takes: don't do anything automagically. But, a new Windows PDC will come online with several well-known domain users and groups. Did I miss the step where I run some stock script that creates these expected

...Fedora Core 1) running with Samba 3.0.21pre1. I have tried with older Samba versions without success. Using winbind should allow password changes from the Windows XP Pro -client using CTRL+ALT+DEL.

Sorry still unable to find documentation Hello I have set up a Samba 3 PDC on RHEL4 using the tdbsam backed. I can log in as a user who has been added to the tdbsam database from a workstation. When I try to add the workstation to the domain (after breaking user connections to the server) I get "The following error occurred while trying to joining the domain xyz.com. Access denied. I

Hello everyone, We are investigating migrating our Windows 2003 active directory domain to a purely Samba one. I am a relative novice to Samba. I have used it many times to do simple file and printer sharing on an individual or workgroup basis, but never in a domain environment. One of the things I need to find out how to do involves delivering Windows profiles. On our Windows network, some

I need help configuring Samba v3 to do file sharing with Windows 2000pro and XP through SWAT. I've listed my user groups in the read, write, and valid fields of my share's parameters page. My security level is set to USER, and read-only option is set to NO. From any Windows workstation I am able to successfully map a drive to the Samba share; however, I can not write to it ("Access

I am running Samba version 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE. I am a bit new to samba. I am running Samba version 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE with unix users as samba users (no AD). Is there a method of listing enabled samba users other than viewing the /etc/passwd file?

i'm trying to do something which i thought would be simple but i am having a hard time finding information on this. i already have a samba pdc running and managing 17 windows xp clients. i have one linux client that i need to join to the domain. i don't want this client to share anything, i just want it to be on the domain. what does my smb.conf file need to look like??

Hi List, It is simply not possible to create users and machines in an OU other than "ou=people,<ldab_base_dn>" Even when I change this in smb.conf, smbpasswd -a <user> or -a -m <machine> always fails with NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER. Is this a desired behaviour? Has anyone else created machine/user accounts in a different container? Thank you and best regards Ralf

My goal is to have a business with multiple locations, all have the same desktop for a certain user group. The quick Launch programs, Start Menu and Desktop icons should all be the same, and be 'read only' -- meaning they can't change them. I'm using ClearOS for the PDC, and I have it working already as the PDC, but I'm not quite sure how to setup the remote profiles and lock

In reading the documentation I havn't found anything that covers the use of winbindd when authenticating against one domain (lets call it 'A') while also allowing users from a domain trusted by A (lets call it 'B'). My linux box is a member server in domain A which is a new domain we are working on transitioning to. We are not renaming because 2k server doesn't have that

...f domain1 to authenticate against openldap. And here my big question: we want to consolidated domain2 and to create three extra PDCs for the rest of the windows PCs. Is it advisable to have 5 PDCs? or only 1 PDC and one BDC for building? (like showed in http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-ByExample/images/chap6-net.png). Can openldap include several SIDs? Could you please give us some advise for our successfull deployment of our Windows-Samba network? We don't have our LAN segmented. Also, we are in the process of buying a cheap NAS solution for all the users. thanks, Pablo Chamorr...

Hello, I'm trying to setup a PDC with Samba, but I have the known problem of the roaming profiles: big files. I think it's difficult to guarantee that a inexperienced user will copy is downloaded files, documents, or whatever, to a H:\ share instead of is handy desktop. Other problem is the files of Outlook or Thunderbird that can get big. The goal is to avoid email configuration each

Hi All, Can someone point me to a good reference on how to configure "tdbsam" ? Many thanks, -T

Back to square 1! I stripped out my unsuccessful attempts to get Samba working with LDAP on my Debian Sarge server and am back with a tdbsam backend. I actually tried to purge as much of the old Samba & LDAP as I could then reinstalled fresh. This included removing the Windows groups and users and even the old tdbsam data. Unfortunately, I'm back where I started - users can't
