Hi I hope someone can help We currently have Windows XP Professional PCs that logon to an old Novell Netware 3.12 server. We?re just using the standard Windows Netware client, and each user has a Windows XP User account and password that matches their Novell one. When they logon to Windows, they are automatically authenticated to Novell. However, we are now in the final stages of

Hi I'm set up Samba on a UnixWare 7.1.3 server, and had configured the printer shares. They're all global in the [printers] section. When I log in at a Windows XP PC as root, I'm able to print to all the printers. However, when I try to add a new printer or look at the print queue on the Windows client side as a different user, I see 'Access denied, unable to connect'

We?ve been running Samba 2.2.8 on a couple of UnixWare 7.1.3 boxes for a couple of years. One is acting as a PDC, and supplies things like login scripts and print queues etc. The workstations are all running Windows XP Pro, and login to the domain. However, we now have a requirement to install a new application that runs on Microsoft SQL server. This will require a new additional server

Hi I?ve been carrying out some upgrades to our SCO Unixware 7 server. I?ve updated from 7.1.3 to 7.1.4, and then installed maintenance pack2. On the Samba side, this means that Samba has been upgraded from 2.2.8a (with UnxWare 7.1.3) to 3.0.0 (with UnixWare 7.1.4). Everything seemed to be working fine at this point. Samba was then upgraded to 3.0.10 (with maintenance pack 2), and I

I carried out a Unix/Samba upgrade at the weekend, and upgraded Samba from 2.2.8 to 3.0.10. The server is acting as a PDC, and WINS server. Our PCs are running Windows XP Pro SP1. I didn't make any changes to the PCs. One PC has an old LaserJet4 attached to a parallel port, and it shares this printer so that four other users can print to it. This morning, no-one can print to this

Hi I hope I've posted this to the correct place. I've installed Samba 2.2.4 on a Caldera Open Unix 8 server, and created a basic smbd.conf file. When I launch smbd as a daemon, I'm getting the following in the log file: passdb/secrets.c: (43) failed to open /usr/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb passdb/machine_sid.c: (163) pdb_generate_sam_sid: Failed to store generated machine SID

I?ve upgraded from Samba 2 to version 3, and am having some problems. I think they?re related to SIDs, which I?ve not really been aware of before! Currently I only have the Samba server which is acting as PDC for Win XP Pro machines. My smb.conf looks like: ------------------------------------------- [global] netbios name = scofp1 workgroup = SCODOMAIN server string = Samba
