Greetings- I have not found discussed / documented what to do with machine accounts when moving a Samba PDC to new hardware. I have seen that uid/gid numbers must match between the old/new system. I am thinking to use adduser to accomplish that, then make the numbers on the new server match, using a text editor. After that, can I simply enter the machine account entries by hand with a text

I found the solution, or at least a work around, for my posting: "Can not grant SeMachineAccountPrivilege on Debian Etch" I ended up: 1) ssh to Debian Etch as root 2) smbpasswd -a root 3) issue the "net rpc rights grant ..." command SUCCESS!!! So, that raises the question that what MUST be executed as user root verses a member of ntgroup="Domain Admins"? I suspect

man smb.conf does not specifically say admin users supports @groupname syntax. Google turns up lots of examples of it being used, but everyone hanging their smb.conf's up to air does not mean they are 100% accurate either. Here, Samba 3.0.4 in PDC mode, I can not get it to accept the name of a group in /etc/group, user ID's only. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper

Greetings- I am wondering if anyone from the Samba team would happen to have interest in creating official builds for Ubuntu? To add a twist, unfortunately I would not be fishing for 7.10 packages, but rather 7.04 as we ran into too many issues with 7.10 whereas 7.04 seems rock solid stable. Or, are there packages built of Samba releases for Ubuntu external to samba.org? Thanks, -- Michael

Hi, Is there a locking problem with version 3.0.2a? We have been running this version over the past several weeks with no problems, but over the past few days have been experiencing horrendous apparently random problems with Outlook, Printing and Excel. Outlook fails with the error "folder being modified by another workstation" Excel gives "disk full" errors Printing stops

Is there a trick to append an additional directory level onto the defauly behavior of a [homes] share looking in /etc/passwd to find the users Linux home dir? It would offer a bit of protection if Windows clients ended up in say the WinHome directory within their Linux home directory when logging in from Windows so they are not tempted to tamper with their desktop settings files for Linux from

I'm in the process of setting up a domain controller (moving from a workgroup configuration). I've installed the latest version of Samba (3.0.5), and have configured it to work as a PDC. However, when I try and connect to the domain, I get an 'Access Denied' message after entering my userid and password. Here's the snip from the client system log: [2004/07/06 12:01:15,

I downloaded the drivers from: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=pdrv&platform=win 7.4MB Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer 1.0.6 - English 5/23/2002 And installed the Generic Driver, shared the printer and went the the print$ share - none of the expected files were in there ... any ideas???

The Ubuntu security updates this week have killed the ability to log on to the Samba NT4 style domain from back level Windows clients. Our configuration does not have any LDAP, we run with the smbpasswd passdb backend. Just very simple. Anyway, here is

Greetings, We migrated to new hardware our very first Samba PDC we built back in 2004 this past weekend. Now that Samba PDC is on its third set of hardware since being built. Bravo Samba team for all the hard work you do so our lives may be vastly simplified! The last server started out being loaded with Ubuntu 9.04, and we had upgraded it all the way to Ubuntu 16.04. Now this third set of

See example: Seems the root of the difficulty is that the Windows clients are only partially joined to the new server PDC. Plugging them into the former PDC server

I'm trying to locate the list of registry values to adjust how Win2K clients handle the user profile with the Win2K boxes joined to a Samba PDC and logging in with domain accounts. Specifically I would like to DISABLE roaming profiles!!! Many moons ago, the WarpServer Win2K client from IBM came with very good documentation on how to adjust that client to not create roaming profiles, etc...

I am now getting around to setting up a test printer. CUPS is installed in RAW mode and a test print work A-OK. I also set the CUPS printer que as default. Below are my printer related smb.conf lines for this PDC. [global] ... ########## NT Domain Related ########## admin users = pianoman ldsinst ... ########## Printing ########## printcap name = CUPS printing = CUPS [printers]

I'm still working on this Access Denied with CUPS, etc... I have a little command line utility written which uses the AddPrinterA function of WinSpool.drv to add a printer instance for a driver which has already been installed on the system. If I add the port to the UNC of the printer and restart the spooler task I no longer get the Access Denied error. However, trying to have AddPrinterA

Hey Samba team... I'll still buy you pizza! Anyway, trying to be good security folks, we had tossed in a global setting in smb.conf that root was an invalid user. No Windows client will ever have an account named that which they need to touch Samba with, and everyone knows it is bad bad bad to logon to your Linux box with root... but anyway, Samba sure seems to have an opinion about doing

Single 100MB switched subnet. 500MHz Samba 3.0.4 PDC (test server) and 3Ghz Win2K clients. I have three Spoolless printers defined on the client via the APW and downloading the driver. Open notepad, type some trash, file, print, and there is a 6 second delay until the print dialog comes up. Canceling out and doing so again from the same instance of notepad is just as slow, so not even notepad

nmbd comes up fine, says he is listening on the main interface of the server. Client side, try to use Network Neighborhood to get to the server, bang, browser not available. log.nmbd shows it has tried to access the master browser on two ip addresses which were installed temporally to copy files onto this server, etc... Nothing in the configs point to these IP's any longer. Where is nmbd

Is there a different group building the Debian packages which are at samba.org than debian.org? I see debian.org in unstable has rebuild the 3.0.6 three times now, samba.org is still showing an initial build. Also, the directory structure lables the deb files as "stable" but debian.org still has Samba 2.x in stable. This all is just "slightly" confusing. I am running the
