Is it possible to have 2000 windows machines reconize Domain Users under the local Power Users group? Right now I'm using samba 3beta3. Do I need kerberos support compiled in? Thanks for your help Jason

...and also have the user be a secondary member of pwruser, things don't work. The user never becomes a "Power User". I've installed samba on RH7.3 from a binary on the samba site.

Hi all, I have a machine running Ubuntu that I run Asterisk 1.4.x on and it runs very well. On that machine I have a SIP phone. I have configured a netgear wgt634u with asterisk and a SIP phone and linked the two systems together via IAX. Audio from Ubuntu to netgear is not bad, audio from netgear to ubuntu is unintelligible. Any clues as to whether this will work? Configuration suggestions?

...d an hour long search through the mail list but... Any help is appreciated. Basically to recap, I want to login to the samba server locally and connect to shares on the remote NT server that is in a different domain. -- ================================================================== George Farris farrisg@mala.bc.ca Computer Support Cowichan "For every vision - there is Malaspina University-College an equal and opposite revision"

You won't actually be able to have a password less than 7 but it confuses the hell out of our users. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi all, If I have a Samba server that is say a PDC for domain DOM-A can I have Samba join an ADS server that is DOM-B and have people authenticate against it without having an account on DOM-A? Does winbind provide this? -- George Farris farrisg@mala.bc.ca Malaspina University-College

...drives and roaming profiles redirected in AD to the local samba member server. Users that login are authenticated via winbind and AD. I'm wondering if it is possible to have local users on the Samba system in tdbsam or ldapsam. I did try but no luck so far.

Hi all, This is my first post to the list. I have searched the net far and wide but can't find an answer to this problem. When I have call forward working or use the voicemail from a SIP phone, the first part of the message is always cut off. So instead of hearing "call forward cancelled" I hear "l forward cancelled". Or in voicemail I hear "edian mail"

So has anyone been able to do this? I have a Samba member server joined to AD on Win2003 server. I have winXP workstations and one can login with their AD credentials but I also want to allow users with local accounts on the Samba machine to be able to login with winXP. Is it possible? If so I haven't been able to make it work and would appreciate some pointers. Ubuntu 7.04 server Samba

...create the folder with "root preexec", however, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the home mapped. In the log files it always points to /home/domain/username no matter what is set from ADS. Is it possible to have the home mapped differently? If so how?

Here at the College we have configured a Samba server as an ADS member server and have everything working nicely except one rather large detail. The people that setup the domain accounts have custom "profile" and home drive locations depending on the last two characters of the user name. For example a user with the id of 545238794 will have their profile pointed to

What is supposed to happen to the ownership of files/directories of user in Active Directory on a Samba (3.6.6) share after the user has been removed from Active Directory? I see the userid is set to the uid number but admins on the share (not root) cannot remove directories owned by the user. As a root user I can delete the files or changed ownership. I would expect there is some way to make

I have installed Samba 2.2.1.a. From windows it works allright. From Linux I can browse with smb://server. But I do not have write permissions. When I open a console and in this console enter the command smbclient //server/folder I do have write permissions.
