Hi All, I have a problem with a growing network. I inherited the network at about 200 machines and it's now reached 300 at which point the cracks are starting to show. I have no budget to speak of but need to up the bandwitdh so I'm looking at sticking an extra Gigabit NIC into my PDC and splitting the network into two subnets. I have two kinds of data, static and dynamic. Static files

Hi all, I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandrake 10.2 (LE2005) and have mounted the shares on an NT4 server to rsync the files over to the Samba box. The only thing is that Linux sees the dual Xeons in the server as four CPUs and the first core on CPU1 hits 100% while the files are copying over. Every so often, CPU1, core 2 takes over (at 100%) for a short period and then core 1 goes back to

Hi All, I'm having a problem with cross subnet browsing and name resolution across an openvpn tunnel. i've found quite a few people who've had the same on mail lists but none of their fixes have worked. The spec of the setups at both ends of the tunnel are as follows: OS - CentOS 5.5 Samba Version 3.5.4 OpenVPN Version 2.0.9-1 Each server is configured in gateway mode with two NICS,

Hi All, I'm trying to run a school CAD app called Prodesktop in wine 0.9.46 and have a problem with the detection of colour depth. X is set to run at 1024x768 which is fine as far as the app goes and the colour depth is set to 24 bit. When the app runs, it complains that it requires 16 bit colour, or greater and then shuts down. Is this a problem anyone else has run into possibly with a

Hi all, I have a script that I wish to implement for adding users and samba users in bulk. I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandriva LE2005 although the script dates back to samba 2 days. The script works by reading the user's name, password and group from a text file, first generating Unix user accounts and then running: /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a -s $user $pwd > /dev/null to add the smb

Hi All, I have a query regarding the interaction between Samba, LDAP and vampire. The situation is as follows. I have five NT4 servers serving 1000 users 700 of which have 4-digit numeric logins. I have a Samba PDC that I'd like to transfer all the accounts and data to, Vampire being the obvious method. I can't transfer the logins to POSIX accounts due to the numeric uid/gid system

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC running OpenLDAP 2.3.6 and Samba 3.0.20. I've followed the scheme laid down in the smb/ldap document at www.idealx.org and have used the smbldap-tools from the same site to configure the Samba groups and base accounts. Using smbldap-useradd -a <user> I've set up 700 user accounts (300 max active at a time) and have the home directories on the PDC and

Hi all, For the last fortnight I've had a Samba PDC running OpenLDAP 2.3.6 and Samba 3.0.20 running without problem on a 700 user network. Today however, we were setting up mandatory profiles when the whole thing ground to halt. I suspect hardware failure and plan to work tonight to restore the network for the morning. I backed up the LDAP database using Slapcat > backup.ldif and have

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC running on OpenSuSe 10 with LDAP as the backend and am running Mandriva 2006 as a member server with a few shares for users. The PDC seems OK and I've added the member using the instructions in the Samba example documents and I'm at the following point: OpenLDAP is running on the PDC itself. I can login to Linux as any LDAP user account suggesting that NSS

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. Yesterday, I tried to add a new machine to the network and received the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: The password of this user has expired Not a problem I thought, and then ran smbldap-usermod -e "2010-12-30 00:00:00" root to extend the password date. If I now try to connect a

Hi all, I'm currently migrating from tdbsam to LDAP and want to restructure my setup at the same time. I can get the SIDs for the user and machine accounts using pdbedit -Lv | grep SID but I have 800 users so I don't want to reset their passwords. So far, I've dumped the contents of the tdbsam database into an smbpasswd backup file and am running john-the-ripper across it.

Hi All, I have samba 3.0.23 running on Ubuntu and have a problem with ID maps. When viewing file permissions on the PDC (Samba 3.0.20/Redhat EL4) Win XP resolves the SID/RID to NT user and group names. With the Ubuntu mamber server however, it shows only the SID. I checked that the user and group idmaps in Samba's Winbind setting were matching ranges and even deleted the contents of

Hi All, I have a problem with permissions following a migration from tdbsam to LDAP. As I understand it from the documentation, each member server on the domain needs to have 2 SIDs, a domain SID and a local machine SID. After migrating the server to ldap, users can still login and desktops and servers can still connect so the machine accounts are fine but I've lost access to shares on

Hi all, I have a problem that I stumbled across a solution for on a list while searching for something else but can't find again. It's down to permissions propogating from a Samba PDC across member servers. I'm using 3.0.28c which according to the release notes uses the +Domain\group notation for declaring permissions in smb.conf. I am at the following position: LDAP/Samba on

Hi all, I have an HP Proliant 115 (Dual Core Opteron) server with 4GB of RAM set up as a PDC with an identical machine acting as BDC. The PDC has an LDAP backend and I'm planning to add an LDAP slave on the BDC. Both are running Redhat EL5 with Samba 3.0.28. The problem I have though is that after a period of time, samba seems to stall. Initially, I put it down to the Opteron dual

Hi all, I have a question regarding the seperation of domain and local permissions. I have a Samba PDC and BDC setup with three member servers authenticating from them. I've set all the boxes up to use nss_ldap for the Posix side so that all the groupmapping between domain and unix groups across the servers is consistent. All seems to be fine but I can't find any info about setting

Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

Hi all, I'm trying to add printers with cupsaddsmb on Samba 3.0.20 (Mandrake Linux) with an LDAP backend. I've followed the howto on the samba page and have the error: result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME generated when I run it. So far I've Googled for the solution but nothing listed has helped. The full set of errors are as follows: Cupsaddsmb returns:

Hi All, I have the following setup. Samba/LDAP PDC, Samba BDC, Samba member server, Win2K member server, 300 Win XP Client PCs. I can access the shares on the PDC from all Win XP clients. I can access the shares on the Win2K member server from all XP clients, I can't however access any of the shares on the Samba BDC or Samba member server from the XP clients. LDAP is working fine and
