What about this: How can I set a parameter (valid user) in the shared folder (smb.conf) in order to it can authenticate the users in the PDC? because I can only do this with the Linux users. Thanks in advance Leonardo

Hi all Got a couple of errors in the logs wondering what they mean??? Google does not come up with too much on these NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE, NT_STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION, NT_STATUS_INVALID_LEVEL and NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND. Four clips illustrating the above are below... I have am wondering how I sort this out. I am particularly worried about the NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE. All the

Hello I have a problem with setting up Samba as a AD member server. Environment: Linux tux 2.2.20-idepci (Debian Woody) samba 2.2.8-1.woody samba-common 2.2.8-1.woody smbclient 2.2.8-1.woody (samba from people.samba.org/~peloy/samba) Smb.conf: ---cut--- [global] printer driver file = /etc/samba/printers.def encrypt passwords

Hello Everyone, I have a few users that are complaining about the "slowness" of copying files to and saving files directly to the Samba server. From my own recollections, the speed is rather identical to the speed we experienced on our old Windows NT 4.0 fileserver. One thing that could be the impetus of this issue is that Samba is serving up files, for opening and copying from the

Hi, I wanna Samba to work as a PDC.... Many people told me that the administration is a pain in the ass.... If I use LDAP as a user repository should I improve the administration??? I could not find good articles / howtos / tutorials about Samba as a PDC..... can you provide me some good links?? Sorry about my english!! ( I'm from Brasil) "Bombing for peace is like fucking for

We replaced our Win2k PDC with a Samba PDC and have all Windows clients are connecting. But we are having difficulty logging on with the Linux and Unix servers to this domain. Is there something that must be done differently for them to connect?

Hello Johan, I'm having the same problems with DFS and WinXP clients since I upgraded to 2.2.8. I tried to clear the cache on the client side with dfsutil.exe that comes with the Win2000 SP2 but to no avail. Can anyone else confirm this problem? It's also strange that on the WinXP clients the version of the samba server is still registered as a previous version (2.2.6 or 2.2.7).

I am starting to receive a lot of unsolicited email at work. I did a web search on my name to see if my email address is accessible on any web sites. I got a hit on this site http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba/Dec2000/00720.html which is a message I sent to your list server a couple of years ago. Please remove my email address from the web page. Thanks. Lloyd Baldwin Computer Systems

Hello, today i deleted the user "nobody" (entry "nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin" in /etc/passwd) on my samba-server. As result, no user could log in to domain anymore. Does anybody know, what the user "nobody" plays for a role in samba? Gerd M?ller, St. Petersburg -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Situation -- Samba 2.2.5, RedHat Linux 8.0 Domain -- W2K AD After boot, I can go into Network Neighborhood, and I can see the name of the computer. When I double click on it it's unaccessible. Also, I can't see the network from the Linux box, I can ping it all, but I can't see it. Where is the "network neighborhood" in Linux? Also, the big question... I need, (upon

Hi, I wounder if someone else had this same problem that I have, and solved it. So here it goes... I have 15 WinXP Pro workstations, on a Domain controlled by a Samba 2.2.8. The domain has 36 users, each with an independent roaming profile, on the PDC. Every machine have Adobe Premiere installed. However Premiere's configuration is saved on each user's registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.

problem: migrating from one server to another . . .physical and software migration. copied all profiles and am in the process of adding a new automated system for domain management (mysql backend, blah balh) so the uid's changed for each user. this is what how i THOUGHT things would work: 1. everyone logs out 2. shutdown samba on old server 3. add new users to new server 4. transfer ALL

Hello Everyone, I have a slight issue with configuring a PDF printer on my Samba servers. I have input the following into my smb.conf file and it does create the printer as well as work to create PDF files, except that it only functions when "printing" to that printer via Excel 2002. If I attempt it with anything else, even the Windows Test print, it fails. Now, in the Windows

Hi Robert and List, As you told me I upgrated to Samba 2.2.5 because I'm doing the test with a machine which has RedHat 8.0 and this RedHat version comes with it.... Anyway..... So I made the procedure step by step but I haven't found how to make my Windows 2000 users (PDC) can access the Linux shared folder and this is what I've done: My smb.conf looks like this: [global]

Hello, Please forgive my ignorance if this is a old topic or is a easy, I am rather new to these stuffs. I have Samba running and authenticating properly in our Organization as a PDC. Now if I wanted a Windows 2000 server as a BDC for that domain, it that possible (samba 2.2 or 3). I know the 3 alpha supports active directory. The Windows 2000 server will be a BDC for the Samba PDC. If

Hello All, I have been doing some research to find a method to increase the performance of writes to the hard drives in my servers. I am running Samba and all writes to the server hard drives are taking at least 3 to 10 times (It varies) the amount of time it took to write such files on our older Windows NT 4.0 File Server. The following information is provided to keep this issue on track...

I've been reading this list for a few weeks now and I've given advice on questions that look challenging but I've deleted MANY questions like these: "How do I (easy question found in the documents)?" Though I don't count myself an expert, I've known enough experts to see that they _HATE_ it when you don't invest some time before asking a question. I too have

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that

I am very new to SAMBA and new to unix as well, which makes trying to set this up very fun. I am trying to get 3.0.2 setup on our UNIX station and I have it up and running. I am able to set a location and get to it from win2k, so I'm about half way to what I want. My question: Is there a way to setup samba so that only users I allow can access the files? I want to do it in such a way that
