It is my understanding that roving profiles cannot be implemented without using encrypted passwords. It is also my understanding that encrypted passwords cannot be implemented without pointing smb.conf to a windows password server. I'm trying to set up a samba server on a Linux (RedHat 7.3) to act as a PDC and a provider for roving profiles - when I do things with cleartext (encryption

Hi All, Well, despite my general idiocy I've managed to get PDC and roving profiles working perfectly in my test situation. Obviously, this isn't good enough since computers are the devil, so I've run into some more problems. Fortunately for the Samba team, this isn't a problem with Samba - I think it's more a problem with how our network is set up here. Basically,

Hi, One for the archives: Problem: Microsoft Outlook Express client takes a woefully gruesomely long time to start when using roving profiles on a Samba share. Fix: Turn off oplocks on the share. Eg: [netlogon] writeable = yes browseable = yes oplocks = no ... ... Eddie. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hello, I am so close!!! So far I have a Samba PDC that machines and users can log into, but here's the deal: I would like to find out how to allow them to log on and receive their login script, but not use a roving profile. Here are my relevant settings as they are set right now: ; logon drive = x: ; logon home = "\\Gluon\Gluon G" ; logon path = \\Jupiter\Profile\%U encrypt

I was using Samba 2.0.4 and I've upgraded to 2.0.6. I'm running on FreeBSD 3.3. Since I've upgraded, roaming profiles seem to be the default, and it's causing me some grief. I'm not ready to introduce them, and what happens is that when a user logs onto a machine with office 97, the office 97 policies get stored in their home directories. That's okay until they log onto

Hello, I just upgraded from Samba 2.2.7 to Samba 3.0.0 on RedHat 9. I did this by uninstalling the 2.2.7 samba RPM's and then applying the Samba 3.0.0 RPM from samba.org, then putting my local changes back into smb.conf. I have also migrated my smb users from smbpasswd to tdbsam with the pdbedit utility as discussed in the HOWTO. It seems I have to rejoin my client boxes (windows 2000 pro)

Hi Again, I figured out what my problem was with the encrypted passwords - it's sufficient to say that it was an error on my part, not the software. Oops. However, now I'm completely baffled. I can login to the domain perfectly (encryption is on, by the way), my home drive maps correctly, the login script runs as it is supposed to, but I'm getting an error about my remote

Hi! Sorry, if this question is stupid, but... How to configure samba server (as PDC) to store user profiles locally on the client machines (9x,NTws,2000)? Thanks. With best regards, Dmitry Gurevitch

Hi All, This is an update/question about the new beta release of Samba. I installed it onto a test bay. One machine is Redhat 7.3, one is XP. For our purposes, the clients need to have encryption turned off (IE: we enabled cleartext passwords). With Samba 2.2.7, I had PDC support, including roving profiles and login scripts working when ecryption was turned on, both server-side and

Hi, probably an ignorant question, maybe I'm missing something ... Is there a way for a sshd server to be able to enforce both client host key authentication as well as user authentication, say for roving user-administered laptops. So a sysadmin can restrict access to allow only client hosts which can pass the HostbasedAuthentication tests, whatever the current IP name/address, but still

Hi Everyone, I have a strange network design problem and I suspect that Samba may be part of the solution. Any suggestions welcome. :-) Here goes: Two organisations are sharing a single network of 30 Win95/98 clients with a few XP workstations. The network is owned and managed by a third organisation and the Internet connection is not too hot. So far so good :-). Org-1 wants to pay for their own

Hi all, I was investigating the SMB signing problems between Win2k clients and Windows XP servers and thought I'd take a look to see if there were any hotfix patches for Win2k that were post service pack 2. I discovered this list.... : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com/support/ServicePacks/Windows/2000/Win2000_Post-SP2_Hotfixes.asp of *amazing*

Hi all, I've been working on setting up samba for a small home network, 3 win98se machines, and RH9 with samba 2.2.7 Roving profiles are working, with domain logins, just fine. The problem I'm having is that although I _think_ I've set it up properly, the profile items get copied into the users home directory, not the the directory I've set up. I've gone through all the faqs

Hello: I have a Redhat 7.3 samba server acting as a PDC and running samba 2.2.3a-13. I have a few computers with extensive existing profiles and I want to know if anyone knows of a good way to get the COMPLETE profile to the roaming profile on the samba server. Every manual copy way that I have tried thus far has failed miserably. Thanks, A Cline

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a registry hack to disable the caching of user's profiles workstation hard disks. We run Win 95/98 on workstations. Samba on the server. Eddie.

As I mentioned in a previous note, I'm a new Samba administrator. I'm trying to set up both roving profiles and system policies on the Win 95 machines in our computer lab here. I have used the policy editor (POLEDIT.EXE) to define a CONFIG.POL, which I have placed in the [netlogon] share. I also used a newly-installed Win 95 machine to create the exact *initial* configuration of desktop,
