It seems weird. On 75% of my machines, it creates accounts as: c:\documents and settings\username on 25% of the machines, it creates them as: c:\docments and settings\username.DOMAINNAME These are fresh machines, so it's unclear to me where this behavior stems from. We're not using roaming profiles. Does anyone have any idea as to why this happens? thanks Chris

I appreciate all the help I received from this Mailing List. However I am receiving work email to my cell phone now and I am being overwhelmed with the mailing list emails. Can some one let me know how to unsubscribe from this mailing list. Thank you -- Jose Mendez Computer Resource Specialist HNRC 619-543-8090

Hello, I've setup a PDC on Ubuntu Feisty with Samba 3 ... My users can join and use the domain but each time that open session the environment is reset to default parameters ... ! Note I don't want to use Roaming just local profiles ! In my smb.conf I've got these lines : ... logon path = logon drive = H: logon home = \\%N\%U logon script = logon.cmd ... [profiles] comment

Hello, Is there a way in logonscript.bat to start a website with some address. @start "my current default browser" "http://google.com" ? How would a script line for that look? Does anybody have one done already and if so could you sent it to me? Thank you, Lucas

Samba 3.0.26a OpenSuse 10.3 In samba.conf the default file creation mode is set to 775 (group write). This mode is not followed or established when a domain user creates a file. It is not group writable. -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies

It seems that people all across the net have had issues with the particular error of "Access Denied" when an XP user attempts to join a domain - but no readily available answers are given. What might be causing this error? I'm using an Ubuntu 8.04 server with all the defaults for the Samba server installation. -- _________________________________ Joshua S. Martin

Hello Is it possible to create a samba logoff script. I currently use netlogon for a logonscript. I also want a logoff scipt to allow me to back certain files up once a user logs off. Is this possible? If so how? -- REGARDS, Andy

Hi Everyone, I've setup file server for my client with these schemes : 1. Samba server is on CentOS box 2. Every user has their Unix accounts 3. Every Unix accounts have their mapped Samba users/accounts with same name 4. They can get access to some shares, eg : [Accounting] path = /public/accounting valid users = alexander, bernard, charlie, david, eugene admin users

Hi, I have a Windows Xp station where a network drive is mapped. The username and password for this network drive are the same as those of my Windows session. I want to access to another share on this server with another name and login than those of the mapped network drive. When I try to access to this share it tries with the username and password from my Windows session. I can see it in the

Hello, I have a samba server (3.05xx) over centOS running as a windows DC. I can join the XP machines to th domain without problem but when i shut the pc down it remains saving the configuration in the windows logo screen for almost 10 minutes and then it shuts down. I check in the server and it is copying the whole documents and settings folder content from the XP to the server... how can

We recently moved our Linux file servers from Debian Woody to Debian Etch (v4.0r3). We use the current stable Debian Samba package which is version 3.0.24. Since moving to this Samba version from 2.2.8a-0.1 we see that Windows clients are very slow to list the 5 network drives mapped by our domain login script in Explorer or "My Computer". It can take 10 seconds or so before the drives

Hi list, In my current organization, we aren't going to be using roaming profiles (for various reasons, it's not desired). I'm moving us from no domain controller to Samba as a PDC (with an OpenLDAP backend), and I'm trying to make the process as invisible as possible to the end users. Each XP user's local desktop exists at: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>

Hi all, I am trying hard to configure samba, but I can not achieve my goals. Other than standard man pages, I have seen also many posts/documents samba with multiple nics, but I couldn' find any relevant to me. So, please, let me explain my settings and what I am looking to set up. First of all, my desktop runs ubuntu 8.04 with samba 3.0.28a On the pc I have 2 nics, eth0 and eth1. eth1 has

On my network I have one Samba PDC (Version 3.0.28 running on FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE), one mail server (FreeBSD + Dovecot + Postfix) and a dozen or so WinXP/Win2K machines. The WinXP/Win2K machines all have static IP addresses. The Windows clients are configured to look up the Samba PDC machine for both DNS and WINS. The Windows clients seem to be able to find other machines as well as the PDC:

Well I have determined that everytime someone logs in/logs out of a windows box in our lab *ALL* of the files in "My Directory" are copied from/to the file server to the local client. Needless to say this is retarded and needs to stop. The local sys admin needs to perform some windows voodoo to redirect this directory. Still this brings the mystery as to why smbd would take up so much

I had Samba setup up on a debian box with three XP\2000 clients accessing the four samba shares but only allowing three users access to a couple of the folders. These 3 users had dummy accounts set up on the debian box (they never logged onto the debian box). The samba shares live on an external USB hard disk connected to the debian box (formatted as fat32). For non (samba) related reason I
