Hello All. Been trying without avail to make idmap work with my AD so I can get "real" UID/GID for SSH logins on a CentOS_6 box. Have heard from several sources that idmap has seen some serious changes since 3.5 and decided to roll back from the "stock" 3.5 that comes with CentOS_6 to 3.4.8. I'd like to see if it has the same problems. Installed a clean build of

Is it possible to have a share within a share, or to force group on directories within a share? What I am trying to do is set up departmental shares, but find that having them all in the root list of shares looks messy (too many shares :P ) What would be preferable, would be to have a [departments] share, then put a share for each department within that share. Just using directories within that share is not good enough, and I need to...

...-bounces. Oops. Once we get this Samba AD thing installed, we'd like to have users login and mount particular shares to drive letters based on their group, not their user. All I've read about this seems to use "user" scripts (along with the user variables). By doing this, all departmental users will have the same drive mappings and we won't need to create individual user login scripts. Is this a common practice? steve campbell

...had two separate OpenLDAP master servers (2.2.13-4) for two different Samba PDC servers (3.0.14a-2) with TLS support in different virtual networks (VLANs), and all worked fine. However, I decided that it would be nice (from an administrative point of view) to have all user/client data on same departmental master OpenLDAP server, which would work as a backend for division level Samba PDC servers in different VLANs via LDAP replicas (our department contains many subdepartments, or divisions, and most of them have their own VLANs). So, I read Samba documentation and I understood that it is possibl...

Hi, We would like to aggregate departmental servers on to a single samba share called "departments" and under departments would be a set of folders corresponding to the departments. Permissions need to be controlled by group memberships in active directory. When I go into folder properties on an XP with the departments share...

TSG (our support group) is going to set up a Wiki on zion so that access can be checked against a list of some sort. It should happen by early next week, perhaps sooner (not likely). They actually have a central departmental Wiki and created an LLVM space there already, but that cannot be made accessible to non-UIUC people without creating an account for each person. They have a policy of not setting up individual Wikis but had to make an exception for us. --Vikram http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~vadve http://llvm.cs...

I'm exploring the idea of using Linux as a workstation OS for some of the users where I work. Most of the issues I've looked at seem resolvable, but I keep running into one sticking point. We rely heavily on shared folders on our Samba server, using ACLs to restrict things on a departmental basis. What I'd need is a way to mount these folders with the permissions of the current logged-in user and honoring all the ACLs on the server. Basically I need it to act just like an NT workstation, client-wise. Winbind can do the authentication, but I've tried smbfs, and it looks like...

When I started considering Samba, the main objective was to have a way for our users to log into something and map the shares they required based on their group (departmental) needs. As I asked more questions, most recommended AD as this would allow the administrator to manage these users. Now that I find I'll probably need VMs to handle the AD/DC and the shares because I only have two servers to work with, I have to ask: Is there another way I can accomplish t...

good afternoon everyone, I have a problem that I can not solve I have installed a samba 4.9.0 in centos 7.5 using XFS. In the DPTO share I have the departmental folders, which I gave the rights to the groups. The problem: when a user creates a file within some sub-folders the group's rights do not arrive in the file is read-only. When the user accesses a website and downloads the file directly to the share, nobody in the group can access that...

...It acts like it is searching the database, but after three or four minutes I just CRTL + C it. Do you think this is winbind not working correctly, or is it because it is polling a trusted domain with anywhere between 1000 and 3000 user accounts? My Samba box is a domain member of an NT 4 domain (departmental domain) which has a two way trust relationship with a second NT domain for the company. -Dan Daniel J.

My departmental file server is on RHL6.2(i386) (Samba 2.0.6) and participates in the company's NT domain. If an NT user wants to see shares on this UNIX(Linux) box I have only to create a UNIX account for them where the UNIX username matches the NT username.

...called Station Level Billing and allows you to transmit your prefered originating number as part of the PRI NI-2 signalling for outbound calls. The CLID name is then presented based on the directory name for that particular number, rather than the default pilot number and name. Handy for sites with departmental DID numbers who want to maintain their individual identities however it's not cheap. Telus's service also causes your corporate long distance phone bill to come seperated out and grouped based on the originating number - hence Station Level Billing.

Greetings all, After migrating a few dozen people to our departmental mailserver, we've run into a problem with one user who makes extensive use of folders and nesting them. I've seen as many as 8 levels. The longest resulting folder name is 113 characters, which results in a total path length of 137 characters (/var/spool/mail/******). Their old mail serv...

Dear all, I am managing a departmental purchase of an Opteron based workstation/server for scientific computing on which we will be running R.
