...f them. Can anyone shed some light on what this error means and what I can do to rectify it? On a related subject, is there a way to create a second user account that local building people can use to join machines to the domain without giving out the server root password? Thanks. -- Mike Rambo mrambo@lsd.k12.mi.us

...the workstations at login. I'm using a netlogon script I found at http://www.0x0a.com/netlogon.php that I've modified to handle multiple groups based upon group membership in /etc/group as I need. If I run the script from a command line supplying just a username it works ok. ./netlogon.pl mrambo #This results in a good script. When I put in a root preexec like...

I'm going to experiment in a little while with converting to tdbsam first but it occured to me that someone out there might be able to cut down on the time I have to spend experimenting if I just ask.

I hope this isn't too confusing, but I'm confused so... We have four boxes on our network (at least that I'm primarily concerned with). A Samba v2.2.5 PDC (linuxts1), one windows 98 workstation (kmorris), and two Samba workstations (jvan v2.2.3a & mrambo v.2.2.2). We're having browse problems on the network. The server is set up to be a domain & local master, the wins server on the network, and has an os level of 64. Yet I have seen log messages on my workstation saying that its the local master - it has an OS level of 33. All of the machin...

Can anyone point me to a doc or a script that shows how to generate netlogon script on the fly and supports users having multiple groups? I tried the Perl script referenced at <http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/AdvancedNetworkManagement.html> but I believe it only supports the user being a member of one group. -- Andrew Gaffney

...script is right in the smb.conf man page I'd certainly expect that to work. As one final shot at this I'll post my smb.conf for some of you to examine. I've removed all the comments in an effor to minimize size. The preexec statement is in the netlogon section.

I am trying to mount a Windows share on my Linux machine at boot time. I tried using the same syntax in /etc/fstab that is in /etc/mtab, but this did not work. Here is the mtab entry: //DELL-4400/linux /root/mnt/DELL-4400/linux smbfs 0 0 Barry

Please make windows go away. I am enjoying(even the frustrations)learning linux for the first time. So many packages and features, it's crazy. I like crazy but have a request for you guys. Is it possible to provide me with some documentation as to how to configure my server to be a PDC compared to Windows 2000 Advanced Server? I am having a hard time understanding samba because of how easy it

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, We are discussing removing the capability to chaining passdb backends. It's a decent idea but overly complicates things IMO and unless it has wide spread use, we'll probably axe it soon (voting is starting up on the samba-tecnnical ml now). To give you an example of what I mean, is anyone using something like: passdb backend =

Sorry but I've posted an incomplete message before that: I've got a big problem with my PDC (Mandrake 8.2 with samba 2.2.5): when I try to join the domain from a W2KPRO (sp3) workstation the procedure goes on well until it require to create a local account for a Domain user ... the system let me browse all the user account on the domain controller but when I try to add it reports this

I'm attempting to configure Samba with CUPS as a centralized print server. I've done this in the past - my current production server is running Samba 3.2.14. On my current production server, I have several users set up as either "admin users" or "print admin" users so that they can manage the drivers, etc., on the Samba server. In setting up my new server, I'm

We have been changing stand alone servers at remote buildings from being PDCs in their own domain to being members of an AD domain. After some initial hiccups I think we are most of the way there. The boxes are joining the domain and users are mostly able to access their files. The last remaining issue (so far) is that we find we are unable to manage permissions via the windows security tab.

Hello, A few weeks ago we started joining some remote servers to our AD domain as member servers. Several times now we have come back to them and found ownership settings missing like the following.
