Hi all, has anyone had any experience with samba3 on a X86_64 system. Are there any significant performance benefits ? cheers Stephan

I have Samba 3.014a running. If I use the standard profiles definition: [profiles] path = /opt/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 then everything works fine. But changing just the path to path = /home/%U/profiles breaks it completely. I can curious why this doesn't work. The user that is logging in owns their

... as in they dont appear to be forcing anymore anymore ? =) I've tried on two seperate machines, slightly different configs but same statements in the stanza I was testing... Trying to force 750/640 and it appeared to work quite nicely in the past.. No other mode statements around, and according to docs, force does a bitwire OR on the mode, no AND or masking. Still, with 750/640 forced,

Hello Sir, Can u help me to provide useful information about the samba. I want to ask few question which are 1)what security does samba provides from sever side and client side. 2)What auditing features does samba provides and finally 3) Is it possible to detect brute forcing attacks (such as NAT) against a SAMBA server I will be very grateful if can give me information on these.

Hi, I'm a busy sysadmin locking and unlocking user accounts. I'd like to be able to do it from my linux -kerberos enabled samba workstation. I can easily use net commands to see if a user's account is locked in the ADS. How do I actually lock it from within samba. I've written a user management system at the school that does lots of things, I'd like it to be able to do

I am using Samba 3.0.20pre1 as a DC and I want to know if there is something similar to Deep Freeze www.faronics.com (except open source) for Linux. Deep Freeze automatically compares the software installation on a client machine to an image on a server. If the client machine differs, the client is automatically synced with the server. I want to achieve this with Samba and a linux tool if

One question and a comment--- Is it possible to setup a G4 X Server into a duplicating server for my k12 LDAP Server? If not, what are the steps to creating a duplication server for my LDAP server using a PC. I am fairly new to LDAP, and as I play around with it more I am understanding the way it functions. But I am a bit confused about duplication server. As I understand it, a duplication

Hey all, We're having some trouble saving Excel documents on our Samba Fileserver. We are moving people over to our Samba box, and have moved most of our documents over. Now, we have people opening their Excel documents, but are unable to save them. When something is saved, we see this message: Your changes could not be saved to 'document.xls', but were saved to a temporary document

Subject isn't exactly samba, but samba people usually know a lot about windows bat scripting. Here's my problem: Currently our domain login script is doing this (among other things): ifmember.exe "WINDOWS-DOMAIN\Projects" if errorlevel 1 ( net use p: \\server1\projects ) This works fine. The problem is I'm moving the projects storage to a different server called server 2

Hey everybody; I've got a problem with a Windows 98 machine on my network. I use Samba as a storage server with a folder for every user. To create network drives I use a script that will be copied to the client and then executed whenever a machine logs on to the domain. So far everything works fine. The script is being executed on logon. However, the network drive can never be found

I have a customer that is using 250 gig drives for his business data. I have been using rsync to keep mirror copies of his data on a second machine. In the last 3 months I have lost 2 of four drives, the last one being the system drive. I have been doing a manual switchover. Each time rsync runs, I copy my samba conf files, passwd, shadow and group files from etc. Has anyone setup a HA

I'm trying to decide on a linux distro to use for our enterprise Samba server. I like that there is a deb repo for Debian from samba.org, but I'm more comfortable with CentOS (Redhat). I just want to be sure I have a well supported Samba server and I need at least the 3.0.20 version so I can use the "inherit owner" property. I also want automatic updates for bugfixes and

for some strange reason, our wins servers occasionally drop samba servers out of there name space. to deal with this, I cron'ed a restart of samba at midnight everynight. This was a quick solution, but a lousy one. I would rather have some way to have samba regularly send name registration requests to wins. Is there a way to do this? barring that, is there some interface I can query on samba
