Hello again! Ok, I've gotten wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g working great Now I try to run getent passwd and getent group I get my local users/groups but not the ones on the Windows 2k Server Domain Controller and it just hangs after listing the local ones. I also tried authenticating a user and it worked I'm assuming wbinfo -a DOMAIN+ingless@DOMAIN%"password" (The usernames here

Hello, I've got Samba set up for domain logins and use winbind as well. What I'm wondering is if it's possible for the home directory to be automatically created when the user logs in if it doesn't already exist? If not, anyone have a relatively easy way to do this, in addition to giving the proper owner and group? Thanks, Scott

We're using Samba 2.2.5 and 2.2.7 in SECURITY=DOMAIN mode. This morning we lost contact with our PDC, and for about 2 hours, users were unable to logon. After chasing this down, we determined that we were also unable to contact the WINS server defined in smb.conf. Our backup WINS server was available, but it seems Samba only supports one WINS server in smb.conf, so this didn't help

I've experienced something like this, as well. Though I don't know if this will help, I would make sure that your NT username(s) are appropriately mapped to unix users. You may not be able to view the properties because the permissions/mapped user are mixed up. You can check this by doing a smbstatus - the user names listed as connected are the unix usernames that have been mapped to.

When I compile Samba, this is on SuSE 7.2, I keep getting a make failure, but it still completes to a prompt. Should I ignore or does anyone have a "fix"? When I configure, I use these options: ./configure --enable-cups --with-smbwrapper --with-automount --with-smbmount --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-winbind --with-winbind-auth-challenge When I run make, this is the error,

We have users who have their desktop folders on a Samba share. Some of them have been getting "Delayed Write Failure" messages recently on the "cookies/index.dat" file. At first I thought it was a fluke related to a network outage we experienced, but now I'm finding out it had been happening previously. This is Samba 2.2.5 on SuSE Linux SLES7 on S/390. Does anyone have

Sorry, forgot to change the subject on my first posting. I was reading a comment this morning about something Microsoft had published to the effect that there were vendors guaranteeing 99.9% uptime for NT. The guy who wrote the reply did the math for what that means, and the results are very interesting. Quote below: OK, now what does a 99.9% uptime guarantee mean? Well, it means that at

Hello Samba folks, I have recently begun seeing some disturbing behavior from winbind. Winbind will fail to look up users and groups. Examples: The machine is configured to use winbind as a nss module. "getent passwd <username>" will yield no results. "wbinfo -n <username>" will yield "Could not lookup name <username>" "wbinfo -g"

In preparation for upgrading my LAN 10 100base/T, I replaced the NE2000 card in my Linux box with a Realtek 10/100 PCI card. It wasn't my first choice, but there was a problem with the other card so I fell back to what I had on hand. It seems to work fine with everything but Samba. Suddenly the performance of that part of the server is abysmal. At one point I thought the server had

I've sent this before, but no response. Trying again. I'm trying to configure Winbindd on a Linux/390 system. I'm not getting any of the crashes or obvious errors, but I can't join the NT domain using the smbpasswd command. Included below is a portion of the -D 10 debug listing. I can ping the PDC under it's FQDN, and I've also added it's IP address to LMHOSTS, but
