Hi all, Disregard my previous posts, I've consolidated everything here. I'm having terrible performance issues with samba over a WAN (point-to-point T1 link). Doing a copy of a 2MB file from a samba server to a linux client running smbclient takes over 5 minutes. SCPing the same file takes seconds. The server is running samba version 3.0.25c with kernel 2.6.16.18. I've put up a set

Hi, I have a very old version of samba on one of the boxes I'm not allowed to update. I have a request from a user group that all the group be allowed to edit a set of file. At the command line I 'chmod 666 $file' and all is well. I can edit and save the file. The permissions return to 744. I want the file permissions to not be changed when someone saves a file. What parameter can I

Morning, I have a user that keeps getting a temporary profile. The user is logging into the machine so the authentication through samba to ldap is working. The only item that looks odd to me in the machine log (/var/log/samba/$MACHINE.log) is 'Re-using invalid record'. I've had the user boot the machine and I've restarted samba (# service smb restart) and the user is still getting

Morning, This is somewhat off topic. I've not thought of a better place to ask than here. I have a user on a Macbook (Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard) with Microsoft Office 2008 for the mac and Parallels running an image of Microsoft Windows XP Pro with Microsoft Office 2007. Inside Parallels and XP Pro the user can open a spreadsheet shared from a Windows Server 2003 box, and yet the user gets an

I recently setup a new server with CentOS 5.2. Everything works great on the server except when I try to join the domain it simply tells me: "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "Domain": The user name could not be found. I have researched this error and attempted a number of fixes but have been unable to resolve the issue. I am able to connect to

Sometimes a user logging in takes a while. I suspect the time delay is due to the size of a user's profile. Where is the profile data kept and how can this data be scrubbed or compressed? Mike

We have a user who purchased a Mac Book Pro with OSX 10.6.2. Everyday he has a problem with one or another Samba Server. One day it's FileShare1 , the next day it's ProductionData Server. I use Windows and Linux and neither has a problem connecting to these servers. He has XP in VMWare Fusion and that works fine. But about every other day he comes and says some server won't allow

I'm trying to use smbclient to look at a Vista box but I keep getting: # smbclient -L user-pc -U Kellie Password: <Kellie's password> session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I know the user/password combination is good. I googled around and got the impression that Vista didn't play well with Samba because of some authentication protocol that Vista uses but I also got the

I have hundreds of the 'smb -D' processes over several days running on my primary samba box that serves home directories, shared directories, etc. This is a Fedora Core 5 box with the latest OS patches. Glancing through the smb.conf file I didn't see anything that looked like it would allow hundreds of processes. I ran a strace on one of the early processes and it seemed to be in a

Hi, In the past I have created an LDAP group 'Accounting' and used that group to set permissions on shares coming from a Windows 2003 server. I am now trying to create a group 'Marketing' for the same purpose. I have created the group in phpLdapAdmin and created the group using smbldap-groupadd. Oh, and I copied the 'Accounting' group to 'Marketing'. Each time I

Hi, I have an issue with how I have setup one of my shares. I have a file system on one of my boxes that sync's to a cygwin repository on the net. I eventually will have my internal windows workstations do a weekly (or some frequency) sync to my internal cygwin repository. When at a workstation I often do this cygwin sync by hand to make sure the user has the latest cygwin files. When I run

Morning, I'm using the samba that came with my Fedora Core 5. I'm starting to get core dumps in the smbd process and think I need to recompile the latest samba code specifically for my samba box. Is there a way to get a list of compiler flags from the daemons so I can compile the same way? The biggest thing I am concerned about is LDAP (OpenLDAP). I think everything else is vanilla. Mike

Morning, I am working on enabling the ssl portion of several of my services (https, imaps, ftps, etc). I am using a free certification authorithy (CA) for my certificates. I need to get this CA's root certificate installed in my several windows workstations. All these workstations are part of my samba PDC domain. Is there a way I can use samba, or maybe the logon.bat file, to install this

Hi, I have a share I'm trying to lock down to a specific group and I'm not hold my mouth right. I want this share available to a single group. I want this share to have directory permissions 0770 when a directory is created and file permissions 0660. I want the users accessing this share to never be able to change these permissions. When a file or directory is created, I want the group to

Morning, Well I ordered a Windows Server 2008 Standard for a need around here and after just spending an hour with Dell support (nice fellow, not his fault) I find that now the 2008 Server is too *new* for the Samba NT4 PDC model. I got this box joined fine with my domain, but any time I try to log into it over RDP, and the new box authenticates with samba (and samba talks to OpenLDAP) the box

I have a samba 3 domain running for a while and have noticed that desktop.ini is displayed often on login and that my personal desktop is not being sync'd with my repository. Last week I was building a new box for a user and am converting this same user to a domain profile at the same time. I have found that the user's romaining profile is not being created on the samba server. The user

Morning, I like samba, but I'm tired of what I feel is fighting battles. I want to move the PDC portion of samba to an Active Directory server (I've been told AD is a part of Server 2008?). Would someone please list the steps for doing this? My rough idea so far is: - take an LDIF from OpenLDAP - install the server 2008 box - load the LDIF into AD - join the AD box to the samba domain -

Morning, This weekend I attempted an upgrade of my primary samba server from 3.0.24 to 3.3.3. When testing this primary server after the upgrade I had a few issues, so rolled back the upgrade until I can find solutions. This server also has the OpenLDAP server local to and co-located with samba. The two things that initially didn't seem right are that each time I logged into a windows XP box
