From what I have read, oplocks are good because they increase connection speeds, but they are bad because they don't really work, but they actually do work, but they only work in some cases, etc etc. so, here's my problem and my question together: I get tons of these messages every day (over a thousand a

Hi, today I tried to migrate an old NT4 PDC to Samba 3 as described in http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NT4Migration.html but with the Samba databases on LDAP: Whenever I tried that net rpc vampire -S NT4PDC -U administrator%passwd I received error messages that the users cannot be created. When I set debugging to level 2, it told me about Found bogus group member: ... Unfortunately, error messages a...

I am wondering if anyone has ever answered the question of group policy operability under Windows 9x. That is, I am _not_ looking for a work-around but the real thing--one config.pol file to service several groups. I have done my homework, hopefully well, but found nothing. To prove this, I will quickly summarize my findings below. Either I have found: 1. a list of unresolved (mostly

Hi all, I'm trying to migrate NT PDC server to Samba PDC. and now i use samba 3.0.0beta2.

Hello everyone. Well, I have a couple of questions regarding roaming profiles. I have been assigned the task of setting up a Samba PDC on our network. Lately, I have been doing a lot of research and reading to find out the best way I setup my system. I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask here, in hopes of getting some feedback. First, some details: The server will be Red Hat 8.0 with

hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

I have posted this question twice without any response. We are running samba on an OpenUnix 8 machine, then we are mapping the samba share on a Windows 2000 machine. If we run our process from the Windows command line..(copying files to the share) everything runs great. The problem is if someone telnets to the Windows 2000 machine and runs the same process they get "The specific network

At my office there's talk of moving from a "WorkGroup" currently hosted through samba to a Domain, possibly hosted through samba. Anyone got a definitive "why we should or should not rip out the existing, working workgroup to put in a domain?" :wq! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.

Is there any doccumentation on using the ldapsam_nua backend?? I would like to setup my server in that fashion, and have looked all through the docs tree I downloaded with the cvs sources without sucess. The LDAP howto in the docs tree is completly useless as it was written for 2.2.3

Can somebody explain to me how the whole Local Master Browser thing works? I'm running samba across 3 subnets, and all the docs tell you to set up a Local Master Browser on each subnet. I couldn't find any documentation on how to actually do that so I used the remote announce option in smb.conf, and it's working great, but now there are two machines (one for each subnet outside of the

Good day, We have set up a Samba 2.x domain. So far so good. We want to lock down the workstations. For example, we don't want users to have access to the run command from the start menu and we don't want them to access control panel. >From what I have read NT 4.0 system policies seem to be the way to go. Is this correct? If so, what utility can I use to create the policies? Are
