Hello All! I have Samba Version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-2. Just recently I tried to join the domain using the Win2k Wizard with no success. This functionality worked in the previous version of Samba V. 2.2.3a. If I'm on the same subnet though, it works like a charm. The error I receive is the following: "The following error occurred validating the name "mydomain" The specified

Hopefully a simple question. Does anyone know of .deb or .dsc files for Samba Version 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6, or 2.2.7? The only packages available from Debian are: 1. Stable - Samba 2.2.3 2. Testing - Samba 2.2.3 3. Unstable - Samba 30alpha20-4 I've looked on the debian website and in google with no luck. Any help much appreciated? IRV

As the list probably already knows I'm fairly new to Linux / Samba. Please bare with me. =) I've managed to compile Samba-2.2.4. The first compile went wrong using the "configure -with ldap" command (something like that). Anyway 2 days later after apt-get' ting any packages with "lib" and those that sound like they belong in the build =) I got it to compile

Is there anyone on the list that has been able to get Win2k SP3 working with the 3.0 alpha version? I'm able to join but I can NOT log in. I can see the machine account listed in pass.tdb (using pdbedit -l) and it is also in passwd & shadow. I HAVE ALSO APPLIED THE SIGN OR SEAL PATCH. The message I get is: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's

Hello All, I am setting up a samba backup UNIX box. It will periodically login onto a windoze box(with smbclient), pickup the files, and save them. The problem is that I couldn't make any error correction in case of power blackout or anything similar. That is, while backing up, if I shutdown the WIN machine, one I'm backing up, smbclient goes crazy, giving broken pipe error.

I have a project due at school and have chosen Samba servers to research. I am trying to find a source of information that discusses the corporate advantage to Samba. How much money can a company save in NT server licensing fees for example. Something that would help me write a fictitious business proposal. If anyone can quick point me in a direction here I would appreciate it.

Every time I try and add a user to samba using 'smbpasswd -a -m meuser' I get the following error messages: Bind failed: Inappropriate authentication Bind failed: Inappropriate authentication Failed to add entry for user meuser. Failed to modify password entry for user meuser These are the steps from the docs that I take to create a user: Step 1. /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d

Rookie Question When I try to add a client machine (Win2k) to the domain I receive the following error message. "Unknown user name or bad password." It is asking for a user and password of a user with permission to join the domain. So I use the following: Username: root Pass: secret. Is it impossible to add a user to the domain using only the GUI of the client pc? Any

Hello All! I'm trying to troubleshoot a domain admin problem and I'm stuck at a log error msg. The log says the following: get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [root] is not a Domain group ! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that My goal is so that anyone in the "Domain Admins" group (by default) have administrative access to all

Hello All, I think I touched on this subject on another thread when I was having problems joining a WIN2k SP3 machine to the domain. Anyway, does anyone know of a way to modify machine accounts in the new format .tdb. The old way was pretty simple as it only required one to modify a text file like smbpasswd. I'd like to know what machine accounts I have listed in this file and simply

Hello All! How can I change the "Password must change:" in pdbedit. We have a user whose password has expired and not letting him back in the system. I'm using tdbsam as the default backend. I've man'd pdbedit with no success. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks! Samba version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3

Hello All! Any of our workstations who try and log into the domain receive the following Windows error: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect". Ok, good enough... If I check the smbpasswd file I can see the machine account and it is also in passwd. So I

We have been able to successfully install / configure SAMBA on our LAN / WAN. Everything is working out just fine.. Just 1 little problem (And I'm sure it is something I screwed up or missed in the docs). When changing a computer name on the client PC (Win2k), I receive an "Access Denied" error. I've even tried using the root account to change the name with no avail.
