I use samba 3.0.9 as a pdc with ldapsam. In the ldap entries, for every user there is a logon script sambaLogonScript. I only use two different scripts for 1000 users and 100 computers. The scripts lehrer.bat and schueler.bat reside in the netlogon share and provide more shares with the net use command. >From the user's perspective, this often works well. sometimes, however, the script is

I have the following situation: Windows XP (SP2) clients connected to a Samba 3 PDC (3.0.7-2.FC2) on the domain "MNET". Also a separate Windows 2003 AD domain "SCH" (using Native Mode). I want to allow users in the AD domain "SCH" to logon to that domain from the XP clients by using their existing credentials and simply choosing the SCH domain in the XP logon

Config: Samba 3 trusts a win2003 domain. XP workstations joined to Samba PDC domain. When a user in the 2003 domain tries to login using an XP workstation and choosing the 2003 domain in the "log onto" box this fails unless the user also has a Linux user account. Is there a way around this? Is this just the way it works? Thanks Lee Baker

I have a samba server that intermittently broadcasts netbios name queries for *<00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00> for around 3 seconds, taking out virtually all other network communication. Here is one of the packets: No. Time Source Destination

Using Samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 When I try to add XP workstation to the domain using Network ID wizard (from XP) it fails. add machine script is: /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 500 -s /bin/false -M %u What happens is a unix account (in passwd file) is created with LOWER-CASE username. Account is added to smbpasswd in UPPER-CASE. XP reports error "A device attached to the system is not

I've had to set up an iptables filter to drop packets originating from ports 32944, 33169 and 33171 on a samba 3 server as broadcast 'storms' lasting ~3seconds have intermittently been taking down all net communication. Can anyone shed any light on this? The packet capured in ethereal is below. Lee Baker Sorry for not trimming - not sure what's important: No. Time

I am trying to resolve a problem with NetBIOS wildcard broadcast queries being relayed/repeated by around 50 US Robotics wireless access points. The APs only re-broadcast wildcard queries from our samba3 server - our numerous windows 2003 servers do not appear to use wildcard broadcast queries (if they do, they are not causing the same problems). Any help would be appreciate as this problem is
