...#39; shares, but now that security=user, they are locked out. What can I do to let them have access again? Do I have to create user accounts for all of them on the Sun, or is there some other way around this (given that they won't ever use any authenticated shares). Thanks for the clues, David Landgren

List, I upgraded to 3.0.10 the other day, and completely missed the fact that the samba.schema for openldap had to be upgraded as well. I learnt that this was the case when passwords could no longer be changed... Searching the web revealed that the only thing to do was to "copy over samba.schema" and everything would be fine. So I backed up the previous copy of samba.schema, copied the

...ible? Or is there some basic deficiency in the SMB protocol that means that I can't actually do this? The idea is set up a slew of VPNs to a large number of regional offices over cheap DSL lines, and have everyone authenticate in a single central location.

List, I am deploying a number of Samba servers across a WAN. To date I have manually uploaded printer drivers from an XP client to the Samba server. But it's slow, and I systematically upload the same drivers over and over again. I'm not quite sure of the recipe, but I'm sure there must be a way of replicating all the drivers, from a central point, out to the remote servers. Copying

List, I have a client PC that is able to connect to my network via a VPN tunnel. When the client PC comes back to the mother ship, it acquires an ordinary network address via DHCP. In this situation, the PC is currently having problems viewing Samba printers... the printer folder takes several minutes to open all the printers, and requesting a print from an application takes a couple of minutes

...lt;00> Is this normal? I sort of expected to see an IP address 10.x.x.x and not the loopback. Can anyone give me a clue? I'll be happy to provide more information, but I don't really know what would be the most helpful. /etc/smbusers and /etc/smbpasswd seem to be normal. Thanks, David Landgren

List, I have a weird problem on a 3.0.20 PDC. My users can log on correctly (user credentials is in LDAP) to the domain but the login.bat file is not always run. For some people, it is always run. For other people, it is never run. For a final group, sometimes it runs, sometimes it doesn't. There aren't any real differences in the LDAP entry for the account. The relevant line in

Hello list, I am encountering a problem with Excel 2003 on Samba shares. If I open an Excel file, edit a cell and then try to save it, I get a dialog box with a "file may have been modified by another user since" message, with the option to save a new copy, or overwrite the current file. Subsequent saves don't exhibit this behaviour, it occurs only on the first save after opening a

Can anyone suggest any apps/scripts for bulk generating passwords from real names (e.g. jsmith from John Smith) that would check for duplicated in an existing smbpasswd or passwd file and append a number to the username (e.g. jsmith1, jsmith2).

hi list, I'm a bit of an old skool Samba user, have started using it back in the dark 0.9-ish days. To that end, the ports 137, 138 and 139 and burned deep into my neurons. I've just recently upgraded everything to 3.0.10 (the oldest Samba installation running was 2.2.3). I've seen a lot of garbage disappear from the Network Neighborhood, which is a good thing. One thing, however,

List, I am encountering some really strange behaviour with Samba 3.0.20 and OpenLDAP 2.2.28. Everything in terms of PAM and NSS has been working correctly for a long time and have not been changed in months. This week it has started playing up, with NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE type errors. The local ldap server is replicated from a master. In syslog, I see things like Jun 16 16:06:14 s-sophia smbd:

List, I have a printer on a BDC at the other end of a VPN tunnel, and updating the printer properties (such as loading additional driver files or configuring the paper size) of a printer that is installed on it is very slow, on the order of half an hour for basic operations. Just opening the properties dialog box results in all the driver files for the printer being read. Many times. Very slowly.

List, I asked a while back about problems with very slow openings of printer properties windows. This afternoon our main internet link was upgraded to 6Mb (symmetric) and so I thought I might see some improvements in response. But no change. I really don't think it's the pipe that's at fault, there's something wrong with my samba configuration. When I open the properties of a
