Hello All: I have a situation where I have a Samba box (RH 7.3 w/samba 2.2.4) that I set up for a client. Another consultant came along and installed a VPN using SonicWalls between the main site and a remote site. So now they want the remote users to save files on my Samba box. No problem except that the remote users can't see my local workgroup or any of the local machines. Here's

All I will try to keep this short but I can't get any of my windows boxes to join the domain they include winXP, win2k, win9x. Server FreeBSD 4.5 Samba from Ports 2.2.2 Celery 400 with 512 meg of ram 120gig of Raid 5 U2W drives I added the machine names to samba in freebsd you must use vipw because there is no adduser plus it has a hard time with the $ at the end of the machine

...ybe: set the IsDomainMaster value to false on the win2k machines? Is it set to True in a local policy? Why aren't your win2k boxes seeing the samba server as the LMB? If they did, they wouldn't be forcing elections... Jim > -----Original Message----- > From: Savage, Elijah [mailto:elijah_savage@reyrey.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 11:27 AM > To: 'C. C.

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

Has anyone else seen this but I just came across this on google trying to research my problem. Hi, I've always found adding w2k workstations to a samba server a bit 'hit and miss'. A couple of things I did which helped around this problem when I had it: 1. Define root as a samba administrator 2. Created a user root (with same password) on the w2k machine - set as an

Good morning all and hope you all enjoyed the 4th. I have a FreeBSD box setup with Samba as a PDC for win9x win2k and winxp. Everything is working beautifully except for one thing, my win2k boxes and winxp boxes with profiles. Of course I had to have the profiles directory setup for win2k and xp clients to join the domain for some reason they were looking for that. Anyway on to the problem

I have installed samba on openbsd 3.1 with a pkg_add and everything went fine but for some reason it seems as if the executable to start samba is not there, what am I missing here is the install docs I followed but still can't get it started. Smbd and nmbd is under /usr/local/libexec but samba will not start. http://nomoa.com/bsd/samba.htm <http://nomoa.com/bsd/samba.htm>

Can someone look at my config and let me know why my home drive might not be mapping everything else is working, also can someone point me to some docs to say exactly what the best practice is for setting permissions on the profiles share. # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DIGITALRAGE netbios name = HARRIER encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted =

I hope this doc below helps out. But from what I have seen it looks like you created the machines accounts but did not create the smbpasswd for the machine accounts. See docs below Machine accounts: the manual approach As noted, Samba will not allow you to add an entry to the smbpasswd file (user or machine) unless there is a existing UNIX account for that user. So the first step is to create an
