Hello, I am new to Linux, Samba, and actually servers in general. I am attempting to set up a Linux file server and join it to a Windows 2000 domain. All I want to be able to do is get files from the linux file server and put files on it. I do not want it to be the domain controller. I join the domain using: net join -S 10.10.10.40 -UAdministrator%password It tells me that I have joined

Hello, I have random errors that I can not analyze nor fix: when several users connect to the same Samba share, they get sometimes error messages "the local drive name is already in use. This connection has not been restored", although the connection is still usable afterwards. This sometimes breaks a file operation. Clients are running Windows 2000, and the server is a Solaris 8

Attempting to get Winbind to authenticate against a Windows 2000 Domain, I am having one odd issue. Running: wbinfo -t returns a successful secret wbinfo -g returns the builtin groups wbinfo -u returns "Error looking up domain users" None of the documentation I've found points to anything where only -g or -u fails--its always both. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance -Matt

Hi everyone, I'm about to install a Samba PDC in a network that previously was working as a workgroup. All the users have been logging into their local machines as "administrator" and all with the same password. What I would really like to do is to move their profiles with them, but as they are all using the same username and the like I can see this is going to cause problems. So

Hello list I have been really wowed by samba 3 so far, i just have one last mission to complete... please help! I have samba 3.0.2a-SuSE installed on a SuSE 9.0 box. It uses winbind to authenticate against a win server 2003 box - this seems to work fine, users can own files and this is shown when getfacl is run on the shares (owned by DOMAIN\User). The last problem i have is adding printers...

Hello I am a bit lost with a problem here, I have samba 3.0.2a on a suse 9 i386 box, samba installed from suse rpm. It is (was) joined to a 2003 AD domain. I had a pdf printer that was working yesterday and not working this morning. Changes made between yesterday and this morning: added "Netbios name = filetest2" removed netbios name AD admin password changed (I dont think this will

Hello everyone, Has anyone here hosted sage data files from samba? Any tips tricks or bewares? I am about to move sage ACCDATA share from an SBS server to samba 3.0.3.

Hello everyone I have samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE running on SuSE 9.0 i386, this is from SuSE rpms not source. The box is joined to a 2k3 domain, wbinfo works fine, acls work and users are authenticated properly. I had a problem yesterday and cannot seem to find a solution: I have been copying data across from the old SBS server, this seems to work fine for about 5 minutes, then completely crashes

Hello I am having a very trippy time trying to get the [homes] share to work on my samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE (SuSE 9.0) server working. Users home folders have been copied from an old sbs server to /data1/fileroot/PersonalFiles. Here is the [homes] section of my smb.conf: [homes] path = /data1/fileroot/PersonalFiles/%S valid users = %S admin users = MYDOMAIN\administrator browseable

Hello everyone I am trying to use "hide unreadable = yes" in my [global] section and having some problems - I make a share and then add "valid users = @MYDOMAIN+group" - this works to protect access, but it is still visible to non-priveleged users (even though they cant get in) - is there something I need to do to make these shares hidden? Thanks, Hamish

Hello all I am looking for a good backup solution for samba shares, I do not mean to start a jihad between rival backup religions, but I would appreciate any suggestions. I have tried star and love it, unfortunately there does not seem to be a gui or any frontend that can be used with it (it needs to be available to a couple of GUI-only (read as windows admin) people). Thanks again, Hamish

Hello, I would like to rename my w3k AD domain (I am fine with this process) - one thing that worries me is how the samba 3.0.3pre2 Suse 9.0 server will handle it. Should I delete the computer account from AD? Is there an unjoin/rejoin domain procedure for samba? For the domain name change to work, the AD needs to be in native mode, can anyone see any problems with samba switching from mixed

Hello all Is there a way to make printers show up on a samba server for windows clients without restarting smbd and nmbd? Thanks, H

Hello all Is this possible?: samba3.0.3pre2 running as domain member with winbind, acls on reiser providing file security this is all on a seperate disk mounted as 'data1' Could I take this disk, put it in a new box, mount it again as data1, then copy the old smb.conf over to the new box? (I would also join the domain with the same name as the old box) Thanks in advance, H

I removed and reinstalled samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE on a SuSE 9.0 server in a failed attempt to upgrade to 3.0.5 (there were many cryptic dependancy errors, after a day with google, i gave up) Everything seemed to work ok after the install (from suse rpms) but the logs are full of: [datetime,0] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:create_policy_hnd(111) create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on

Hello Im not sure how to ask the question i need, but let me try: Background: SuSE 9.0 Samba from rpms: samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE Role: domain member server (winbind) I am having a lot of trouble upgrading samba and I'm thinking of moving to another server. I have found that if I move the winbindd_idmap.tdb across, the AD / UID mappings are saved but would like to know: a) Is this safe? (is

Hello all Just in case anyone has similar problems: We have a kixtart script which maps folders for users, I am not sure where it happened, but I made a mistake with users home directories. A couple of users were not copied from our old 2000 server during the move to samba and so were created manually. This worked fine with /homes/user, but since the upgrade to 3.0.6 some users have failed to

Hello all Sorry to post this hugely off-topic, but i have no clue where to start. We are looking to replace an Exchange server with something with less licencing issues, is there a way to use windbind (or winbind-ish behaviour) for an email server (ie users authenticate through winbind to log on to imap server etc). Once again, sorry for the mispost, even a push in the right direction will

Hello list Sorry if this has been answered before, I have had a look around and could not find any answers. I am running samba 3.0.3pre2 on suse 9.0 - installed from suse rpms. I have managed to join the 2k3 domain and users are authenticating perfectly and all seems to be working, (users have actually remarked about a speed increase!) although i get this strange message in the log.winbindd:

Hello I have been having problems with authentication on a suse 9 box with samba 3.0.3 installed from rpms. I have googled till my fingers bled, there is just the question, no answer, someone must have been able to solve it out of all the people who had the problem? I joined the domain with net join, this was successful I can list users/groups, authenticate and check the secret with wbinfo
