...:-) Any suggestions for dealing with this setup would be most appreciated, particularly relating to policy management. I've read much of the Samba Book on this area, but it's a little confusing as to what options are actually available to me with this setup.

Hi All, I am unable to connect to my Linux samba shares from XP Home, I always get a grayed out login field with guest selected. I googled around for solutions but none helped. I would appreciate any help, thanks SG

Hello, I want to set the expiry date for passwords for all users with one command. As --pwd-must-change-time only works for a single user and policy settings are not applied after a change, I was wondering how to solve this. Is the only way to write a script which runs "pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time..." for every user? greets Jimmy -- Andreas "Jimmy"

...poster/thread at http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-December/159897.html resulted in a suggestion to set 'guest ok = yes' and 'browseable = yes' on the NETLOGON share, but this didn't make any difference in my case: same messages in the logs etc. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Ewart davee at ceu.ox.ac.uk Computing Manager, Cancer Epidemiology Unit University of Oxford / Cancer Research UK N 51.7516, W 1.2152 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, what are the minimum permissions for the attributes sambaLMPassword/sambaNTPassword for the the LDAP administrator account so that Samba is just enabled to use it for authentication with ldapsam backend. It seems like auth is not enough, is this true?! Thanks, Arokux

All, I am trying to work out if the current setup is possible: I would like to have Samba running to authenticate shares for /home directories running under FC6. All of my users are posixAccount's in an LDAP Directory. I would like to use this information to authenticate these shares but without making any changes to the LDAP Directory itself (so including no new objects or schema

I feel completely stupid for asking this question, but I have an essential problem of getting the syntax right for synchronizing multiple files. I am trying to use rsync to synchronize files generated in one directory with our public directory our web server. We have a number of files with the extension html so I have tried the following command line: rsync *.html

Is there any reason to believe that a samba server would be slower when serving up roaming profiles than a real Windows server? I know roaming profiles are slow by nature and that there are things you can do to help like configuring ffolder redirection.
