Hi, I've got a question, mostly out of curiosity, because my Mandrake Linux 9.0 + Samba 2.2.8a is actually working fine. Whenever I (re)start Samba by issuing "service smb start", I get the following output: [root@localhost marco]# service smb start Avvio servizi SMB: [ OK ] Avvio servizi NMB:

Hi, as I saw someone today pointing to a solution for protected directories in the recycle dir (thanks Ben!), I wanted to compile the modified recycle.c. I'm using Mandrake 9.0, I have kernel-source, kernel-header and all basic development tools installed, including the libtool package; I downloaded the Samba 2.2.7a sources, applied the patch, but I cannot compile the library. Following

Hi, I'm using Samba as a PDC with roaming profiles on a Debian Etch machine, the clients are Windows XP/2000 machines. I just installed security upgrades with aptitude, and this upgraded all samba 3.0.24-6etch4 packages to 3.0.24-6etch6 (except for samba-doc which was upgraded to 3.0.24-6etch7). Immediately after the upgrade, my users could not load their profiles at login anymore. Errors

Folks, Given recent discussion on this list I have just updated the master Samba-Docs information regarding the Debug Class (Log Level) settings and the audit information each causes to be logged. This will appear in on-line versions of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection within 24 hours. To obtain an updated version point your browser at: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

Hi, I configured Samba as fileserver+PDC for a network populated by Win2000 clients, starting from a smb.conf I found in a guide and editing it to suit my needs. For example, I removed the [homes] section, because I don't need users to be able to access their Linux home directories, and having that section active caused the home shares to appear in the network neighbourhood tree. Below

Hi, I'm on a network with a Samba 2.2.8a fileserver + PDC (Mandrake Linux 9.0) and various Win2000 Pro clients. Very often, when I log off from one client and log on a different one soon after, I get an error message telling me that the remote profile cannot be loaded, and the local one will be used, as if the profile was still locked by the previous session. One peculiar thing to notice is

Hi, I'm using Samba 2.2.8a as PDC + file server in a LAN containing many Win2000 Pro clients and one WinXP Pro client. In a share I have some directories which are set to read-only by a script on the Linux side, but any user can open up the folder properties on the Windows client and remove the read-only attribute; this is ok, it's what I want, and works perfectly on Win2000 clients. On

Hi, I posted this some time ago but it remained unanswered; sorry for the repost, but I hope to receive at least some confirmations or otherwise by other people using WinXP Pro. Using Samba 2.2.8a, I have a problem on a WinXP Pro client regarding the read-only attribute on folders; the problem does not appear on Win2000 Pro clients. Here it is: setting and unsetting the read-only attribute on

Hello, I'm configuring Samba 3.0.6 on Debian stable, after using version 2.2.8a for a while. I have some questions on VFS modules, which could be summed up into a single big question: is there any documentation about them, other than the few paragaphs in the official howto? Now for the single questions: 1. audit: its output goes into syslog, no options to change this, right? And also no

Hi, I quote from the smb.conf man page: ------------------------------------ log level (G) The value of the parameter (a astring) allows the debug level (logging level) to be specified in the smb.conf file. This parameter has been extended since the 2.2.x series, now it allow to specify the debug level for multiple debug classes. [...] Example: log level = 3 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2

Hello, on my Samba 3.0.14a PDC (Debian Woody) I created a local unix group named "gpusers". Then I mapped it to a new NT domain group named "GPPower": # net groupmap add rid=1005 ntgroup="GPPower" unixgroup=gpusers Then added a user "mdv", who already had its own initial group "mdv", to the new gpusers group: # usermod -g mdv -G gpusers mdv

Hello, I'm using Samba 3.0.21a on Debian Sarge, tdbsam account backend. I was playing around with pdbedit and the account control flags, and noticed a different behaviour from what I expected: if the password for a user has expired, and I set the "X" account flag for him (pdbedit -c "[X]" username), I'd expect the system to never tell him about his expired

Hi, I'm using Samba 3.0.24 in a LAN with Windows-only clients (Win2000/WinXP), and I've set it up to store DOS flags in extended attributes to make users happy: ea support = yes map archive = no map system = no map hidden = no store dos attributes = yes Now I was having a look at the current attributes in all my shared files, and was

Hi, I'm running Samba as a PDC on a Debian Etch machine (3.0.24-6etch9). It's been some time (months, maybe 1 year) since I last added a new machine to the domain, but I'd need to do it today and I'm getting an error: #>pdbedit -a -m Woodstock-VMXP tdb_update_sam: struct samu (woodstock-vmxp$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) The machine does NOT

Hi, I'm using Samba 3.2.5 on Debian Lenny, and I need to set the password for a certain user to expire on a specific date (not "now", it's a date in the future). When I was on Debian Etch I could use this: pdbedit -r -u user --time-format=%d-%m-%Y --pwd-must-change-time=<date> But it seems this option for pdbedit is not available anymore in the Samba version included

Hi, I just upgraded a Debian Samba server (PDC+shares) from Etch to Lenny, thus upgrading Samba from version 3.0.24 to version 3.2.5. After the upgrade most users, on WinXP SP3 clients, encountered problems connecting to SOME of their mapped network drives, access was denied as if the server was not available. Some others still worked, without a clear pattern. By looking into that I

Hello, I'm using Samba 3.0.10 as file server and PDC for some Win2000 Pro clients, and I'd like to get detailed and clear logs of file/dir creation/open/save/deletion on some shares. The standard logs are a bit "too much" for me. The ideal would be a well balanced setting of the extd_audit VFS module, but when trying, some months ago, I discovered it behaved differently than

Hi, I've got a Samba 3.0.24 Debian server which I'm currently moving to a new hardware. It uses tdbsam as password backend. So, while looking at configuration files, I was thinking: is there a way I could change the Unix UIDs for some users, without breaking anything? The problem is that, since migrating from a different Linux distribution a long time ago, I still have some UIDs and
