Hi, i have a minor Problen with Samba 1.9.16p11 under RedHat 4.2 and samba 1.9.18 under RedHat 5.0. Getting the shares from NT or w95 are ok but in the messages log file i got tons of these messages: Feb 2 06:49:54 bell PAM_pwdb[3520]: get passwd; pwdb: structure is no longer valid Feb 2 06:49:59 bell last message repeated 93 times Feb 2 06:49:59 bell PAM_pwdb[3520]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> wbr for samba service Feb 2 06:50:05 bell last message repeated 93 times Feb 2 06:50:05 bell PAM_pwdb[3520]: 1 a...

hi, i'd like to seperate the password file for seperate virtual domains into seperate files. i tried specifying: passdb = passwd-file /etc/exim_incoming/local/accounts/pwdb/%d but i get an error message that it couldn't open the particular file, and then Dovecot shuts down. is there a way to do lazy-lookups? or, would i be required to write a little helper program and have Dovecot connect to its socket to do auth? leon

...I've just migrated NT domain to samba+ldap - works great, but there is one thing I don't quite understand: What is the reason to have a 'computer account' on host UNIX serving samba? I know, that NT PDC needs ID+password for each computer within its domain. But samba TDB or LDAP pwdb backend look quite sufficient. I don't see a reason to have those exposed (shadowed) as UNIX accounts - are there any? In other words, I don't see any activity, that NT domain computer does *on*its*own*account* - e.g. as UNIX process - on samba server. Is there any? Is there any other reas...

Hi Everyone I am wondering if many people are using software that acts as a password safe. And if so can you recommend any software in particular? I know many people will disagree with this idea, and I myself have always followed the printed list stored in a secure location. But in our particular situation keeping this single list current and correct while ensuring that regular password

..., and in the examples of those the /usr/local/samba/bin/add_user script is listed, while no such utility is shipped with the samba3-alpha22 source. What is the samba designated utility (if there is one) for adding groups to the *authentication database* that is independent of what that database is (pwdb/LDAP) ? Thanks, Kristis

I am about to start a small business together with two colleagues. We are all located in different parts of the country and is in need of good remote collaboration (we will do major software development). We will use VPN tunnels (over internet) between our computers. Ideally I would like to set up one PDC at one site and backup DC at the two others. All three machines could act as file servers

I just went through upgrading from 2.0.7 on Redhat 7.0 using the binary RPM provided by samba.org and noticed a problem with the swat install. It seems that the swat binary in the RPM is built to look for it's supporting files in /usr/share/samba/swat whereas the RPM installs said files in /usr/share/swat. This results in the following error message when you try to access swat: 400 Server

Hi, I have to say that Dovecot is certainly the most challenging piece of software I've ever had the pleasure of setting up (due mainly to the reams of largely unhelpful documentation). After 36 almost non-stop hours reading and trying, I finally end up here. :-) I really would appreciate your help - and many thanks in advance!

I am having a problem similar to the one that Jason Gerrity is having with authentication. Sometimes people are unable to access drives on one of our unix servers from an NT machine. They are prompted for their password and when they enter it they get the message "Incorrect password or unknown username." These are people that have permissions on unix and can usually access these
