Hi, Host: CentOS 5.5 Guest: Ubuntu maverick I am having a horrid time trying to create a guest on my xen machine. I have tried several method. The method that I have had the most success with is `xm create`. The problem I have is that once the I have run: xm create -c myconfig.cfg install=true install-mirror=http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/ubuntu/ install-suite=maverick and go all the way

Hi, I am not using roaming profiles, but there is a feature in NT 4 where you store a 'Default User' profile under the C:\winnt\system32\repel\import\scripts\. When a user logins into the Doman for the first time, they get a copy of that profile. I have tried having a copy of the same profile to both the netlogon share and the profiles share on my Samba PDC but the profile does not get

Hi, Sorry if this is slightly OT. I have just moved from a WindowNT domain to a Samba3x PDC. What I'd really like now is some tools to help me manage users. Some of the things on my wish list are to be able to edit a remote registry (the user's profiles are local) and Remote desktop access so I do not have to run over their desks every time there is a message they don't understand.

Hi, I have a strange problem with a domain member server. The Samba3 domain master/wins server can not lookup the host. Workstations that are trying to connect to the server appear to be having trouble finding it (network path not found). nmblookup problemserver querying problemserver on 192.168.0.255 name_query failed to find name problemserver rigel:/var/lib/samba# nmblookup otherserver

Hi, HP DL 385 G2. CentOS 5.1 Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 I have a newly installed server that was running x. It told me there were updates to install. I accepted that all, except sysreport as I always seem to have problems installing. I rebooted, having set the default run level to 3. I then got a red screen with an "illegal OpCode" error message. I have used my CD to boot into rescue

Hi, I have Samba 3.5.6 that is running as a PDC for testing purposes. In my production environment I still use a NT4 domain and all the samba member server use domain security. One of the irritations I have with the Samba members set-up is that I have to add the users to the local server so that files created by a domain user are owned by them and not the guest account. Ideally I would like to

Found it. It turns out that the config file for libnss-ldap is /etc/libnss-ldap.conf on my distro (Debian). So NSS was ignoring the config that I had been in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and taking it from /etc/libnss-ldap.conf. The former had this "nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?sub" and the latter this nss_base_group ou=group,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?one. Once I edited group to

Hi, I am in the process of attempting a NT4 Domain to Samba migration (3.2.5). I have been following the instructions at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.html. I am using an ldap backend. I am not convinced everything is set-up correctly. Before I began I removed all /var/lib/samba/*tdb and shutdown smb and ldap. At point 13 where you do `getent group` the Domain

Hi, I recently migrated to a Samba3x domain. One issue that has been reported to me is that XP users cannot change their password from their PC. I have done some searching and I haven't seen a straight forward answer to this. My config is ldap primary + Samba PDC on host A ldap slave + samba BDC on host B I see this error in the machine log when someone attempts to change their password:

Hello folks. We've got a wierd Problem at a customer server. The Server was running fine until tomorrow morning... My problem is that i have no idea where to begin my search for a solution. The Server is used as a Primary Domain Controller and worked just fine. here you see what cat /var/log/message | grep smbd is trying to tell me: First i have a lot of lines like this: Nov 20 04:04:12 dc

Hi, I'm am in the process of migrating my old NT4 PDC to a Samba 3.2.5 with an Ldap backend. I have been following the instructions from http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.html At point 16 is says to try pdbedit -Lw This is the output I get: sid S-1-5-21-1979685110-1467996072-351907979-500 does not belong to our domain sid

Hi, I am having problems with winbindd on a BDC but I am not sure where the problem lies. If I run `winbindd -n -i` on the BDC and watch the output from pdbdeit -Lv I see: winbindd version 3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1 started.

Hi, I have been testing out a samba installation and am slowly getting to a point where I am ready to push the project live. I have been playing with a domain member server that uses winbindd. I have created a share in /tmp called public to see what happens with user and group permissions. I created the directory as follows: mkdir /tmp/public; chgrp users /tmp/public; chmod 2777 /tmp/public.

Hi, I have an existing WinNT domain and, after some labour, a new Samba3x domain. I created the Samba domain with a different name because the WinNT domain name wasn't appropriate. I have about 40 users. Their accounts have been added to the new domain. I'm almost ready to shift everyone to the new domain but I am a bit concerned about the user's profiles. These are local profiles. I

Hi, I created a new user on our Samba domain master yesterday but the user was unable to login from WinXP to the domain. I think they got an error that a device connected to the system wasn't working. The user was created using smbldap-useradd. The logs showed this for the user workstation: _netr_LogonSamLogon: user FOO\efields has user sid S-1-5-21-908662176-1457135431-1537874043-3288

Hi, OS: CentOS 6.3 Samba: 3.5.10-125.el6 winbindd: 3.5.10-125.el6 I have a standalone server with the above. I would like my Windows 7 users to have access to the shares but not have to create local accounts for them. I'm assuming winbindd does this for me. So far the samba set-up appears to work. I have joined the ADS domain. I can use wbinfo to authenticate users. wbinfo -a auser%321

Hi, I have 2 servers running CentOS 6.3. Each has four 1gb Ethernet ports. I have bonded all four ports on each server and patched them to the same switch (following the instructions at http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BondingInterfaces). I have created aggregated trunks for the servers respective ports on the switch. The switch reports that the ports are up and that the Link Aggregation is

Hi, I migrated from an MS NT Domain to a samba3 domain some time back. I forgot about a couple of machines and am trying to add them. These are Buffalo NAS workstations so are basically *nix machines with a web interface. I have not had to add any machines to the domain from the samba PDC before. This is what I've done. I tried to add the machine using it's web interface but it failed and

Hi, Suddenly when I add a new workstation to out Samba3 (LDAP backend) domain, I have to give the root username and password. When I set-up the samba3 domain initially, I could use domain\admin user and their password but that has started to give me "unknown user or bad password". This last error is from a Windows7 machine I am currently trying to add. I have merged the registry fix

Hi, I have noticed that the Windows 7 machines that I have recently installed and joined to our domain take about 40 seconds on average to go from sign in to the desktop displaying. I can't find any explanation for the delay. When the machine are in a work group they login very quickly and the XP machines login at a normal rate. I have searched and not found any articles that are relevant.
