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 Again, Same old same old. Here's a different spin on the question, though. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to run login scripts automatically on a 2000 machine. I've got Samba set up properly (I think). It's running as a PDC, without password encryption (due to the way the rest of our network is set up - as of now it's not going to change, so I have to find a

Hi All, I'm attempting to set up print-sharing on a Samba 2.2.7 running on Redhat 7.3. Both 98 and 2000 clients can print fine and dandy if I install the drivers I downloaded from HP (I'm using a LaserJet 5MP for reference). What I want to do is install the drivers to the Linux box so future clients can download the drivers painlessly. I believe I've followed the instructions in

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

I'm thinking about moving from a Samba server that currently has encrypted passwords off to a server with encryption that hits up an LDAP server for login information. I know that there is an option in smb.conf called "update encrypted" that you can use to migrate a server from unencrypted to encrypted passwords, but when I specify "encrypted passwords = no" and

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
