Could I get some opinions on which type of Samba based printing is easier, CUPS or LPRNG, or just bybass Samba altogether. I'm looking at the Printing HOWTO by Kurt Pfeifle (Printing Support in Samba 3.0) and both look really complex. Anyone out there have any experience with printing services in Samba? Should I just stay away from samba printing and go direct to Network printers? What

I can't seem to get an answer to this question... Should I use winbind if my Domain Controller is a samba machine? Or is it only useful if my DC is a real MS DC and I have other unix/linux client machines? I'm strictly wanting to provide file and domain logon services to Win2000 machines via a samba DC. There are no other DC's involved. After reading the 3.0 HowTo on winbind

I have the Official Samba 3 and Samba-3 by example books, although not the second edition copies. But I can't seem to find out how to push out patches and hotfixes with Samba. Is this not possible at this time? I don't have a lot of experience with Windows but I am going to have to deal with this issue soon. I think I understand that pushing out policies is possible. Is Microsoft

I'm really struggling with ACL's and permissions. I have a share owned by a user (douglas). Douglas can read, write and create to the share: [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/samba/pub nt acl support = yes public = yes admin users = douglas write list = douglas I'm logged in to Win2000 as douglas. Through the security tab on Win2000 I add read and

I would like to enforce a policy for a user being only able to login once anywhere in the Domain. When you use roaming profiles, the system gets confused and leaves the local profile on the client PC if the same user logs in on a second machine while they are still loggewd in on the first one. This then causes the Samba profile to NOT get updated on logout. If a user is currently logged on

Winbind seems to have broke my roaming profiles. I have a 3.0.1Pre1 DC on RH AS 3.0 running with Win2000 SP4 clients logging in. Remote profiles worked well and then I added: winbind separator = + idmap uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /home/win2000/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash Added it to nsswitch.conf and

With Samba v3.x and WinXP, if there is a local profile on the users PC when the user logs on while hooked to a Samba DC, should the PC check for the DC profiles password prior to checking the local profiles password? I have a client PC, originally with no local profile, the user logs in to the Samba domain, his profile is downloaded to the PC. I have his group policy set so it won't

Being that you SAMBA developers had to work so hard to reverse engineer the AD protocols. Will there soon be improvements and more full featured functionality in SAMBA now that you have access to more documentation? Is anything on the order of a fully feature AD clone in the works. Also, how do you dance around patented protocols? Can you still implement them? Do you have to avoid them?

Can a samba domain user login successfully to a PC in the domain if the PC is not connected to the network? This assumes the user has logged on at some point in the past to get their credentials on the local PC of course. Is this a "Standard" feature of SAMBA (allowing Cached credentials) or do you have to some how trick samba to allow this? I've looked in the Official

I'm having trouble with ACL's and wonder how many others are too. I see conflicting answers and comments about different aspects of ACL's from many prople on the list. I was wondering if ANYONE is successfully using ACL's with Samba 3.0 or above. Questions I have that I'm sure many are asking are: Was your Samba server configured as the DC? What client OS were you

After realizing my CUPS printername in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf must be the same as my samba printer sharename (I don't think it says that anywhere in any HOWTO, correct me if I'm wrong though) I am now getting to the printer resource but... Using Samba 3.0.1 and attempting to connect to a samba cups printer with Win2000 I am getting the following samba error: Returning domain sid for

Since I get so much from this list I thought I would share a project I've been working on and how it works with samba (3.0.1). It is Samba related so I hope it's not off topic. I've set up a HA solution with redundant Samba Domain Controllers throuth the "Heartbeat" package at: http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/heartbeat/1.1.3/redhat_9/ I have two "Redhat

I have ACL's enabled and am getting a new error, in the Samba log (V 3.0.1Pre1, when attempting to set permissions on a file through Win2000: get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [terry] is not a Domain group ! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that Do I need to create a group on the windows(2000) side?

I have the Win2000 client(s) in a Samba domain. Domain authentication works fine, my "homes" share works fine, remote profiles work fine. Using 3.0.1Pre1 I would like to add people to "someshare" through the Security tab, and control their access through windows ACL's. How should I setup a share as a basis for doing this? The share below (someshare) in this email

I'm running Samba 2.27 on RH8 system. I've got samba as the print spooler for Windows XP clients and using winbind as the user validation against my Win2K DC. Permissions on the spool directory are root root with the sticky bit on. Clients can delete their own jobs from the que, but the spool directory is not being expunged of print jobs and the last job constantly displays in the client

I'm trying to establish a two way non-transitive trust between a W2003 A/D box and our SAMBA domain. We are using smbldap so we can log in on any of the linux boxes with the same passwd. Samba is version 3.0.33 on Redhat Enterprise. It's easy to create the trust on the Windows side with AD Domains and Trusts but on the Linux side I'm not sure if I need to put the machine account

I'm trying to config Samba PDC using: The Unofficial Samba HOWTO but error apeared: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain MYDOMAIN: The specified network password is not correct I tried: Use Window's Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to make the following changes in the Local Computer Policy\ Computer Configuration\ Windows Settings\ Security Settings\ Local

I'm sorry for asking a really newbie question here. But I'm just missing something I guess. I've read the HOWTO for 3.0.0 and either I missed it or I just didn't understand it. I have 3.0.1Pre1 on RH 9 "Machine A" working as a domain controller with a win2000 SP4 box. I made a USB local CUPS printer on RH 9 "Machine B". I made a remote CUPS printer on

I have a samba based domain controller with a CUPS printer working fine. When I try to connect to a samba printer from Win2000 I get the following in the samba log: 2003/11/04 20:38:02, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_queue_get(889) Unable to get jobs for ipp://localhost/printers/goucho - client-error-not-found [2003/11/04 20:38:02, 0] smbd/service.c:set_admin_user(321) root logged in
