Hi there.. during an installation of Samba (don't recall the version, maybe 2.2.6) on RH 7.2 recently it automatically created the smb.conf file and this contained basic [global] and [homes] shares. I've just installed the latest Samba 2.2.7 and it does not create smb.conf (it says in the instructions that it won't so I'm not surprised) but... the [homes] entry in the smb.conf

...e are some things you could forward to the Samba developers that could also make for a much easier to operate Samba/(Open)LDAP experience.

I am in the process of authoring a Samba-LDAP-PDC HOWTO for Mandrake users that will allow cross platform ( Linux / M$ ) network user authentication. Lastnight I ran rpm --rebuild --with ldap samba-2.2.7a-2mdk.src.rpm and it produced a list of packages that I needed to install in order to compile this version of samba. I did so but I neglected to write down the list. I did the install of

Anyone who is smart enough to be on this list is smart enough to get some proper virus protection. However it may be the case that some cannot afford commercial liscenses and/or are not aware of the free virus checkers that are available. Since this *is* a list issue, I don't feel that it is off topic to ask for folks to publish various means for such. I did notice that some were

Parameters are: Samba 2.2.7a PDC setup with LDAP includeing posix authentication for Linux. OK, the tutorial I've based my setup on is the Mandrake tutorial found at http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/ldap-auth.php Works great for autenticateing Linux from LDAP but it is really sparse on the Samba side of things. Esepcially when it comes to adding machine trust accounts. So anyway I

I've not been able to get Samba to print to a Lexmark Z53. If I call it a Z52, the driver uploads (to where, I have no idea so I can't check it) but I still can't get anything out of the printer.

I am having a problem getting the system to automagically add a machine account to the LDAP database. add user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd.pl -w -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Account' -s /bin/false %u Now the above works fine from the command line but will not execute from the server. When it is added from the command line I can join the domain with no

Specifically what I am asking is, if I have a computer named ralph$ who is uidNumber 678 in ou=Computers and I have a user who is uidNumber 678 in ou=People, will this cause problems? Must the different sets of uidNumbers be disjoint acrossed different ou's?

OK, here is the deal. My system spins like a top with one exception. I would like to store Computer accounts in ou=Computers and get them out of ou=People. I've tried simply makeing this the ou that Computers are added to but then the XP clients cannot seem to see them. Changeing this is likley to be easy to do and incredibly hard to find the specific details of how to do it. I know

I know this is a well known problem but I would dearly love to know what causes it. I mess with the ldap (I'm using an ldap backend) settings and I wind up without any user directories. Anybody?

Just to be sure, will setting 'ldap ssl = off' affect anything other than the communications between the samba and ldap servers? Jim C.

In the course of correcting directory references for Mandrake in smbldap-tools I came acrossed the following: samba-2.2.7a/examples/LDAP/ldapsync.pl on line 72 we have: > $ntpwd = `/usr/local/sbin/smbencrypt '$oldpass'`; On Mandrake this would be: > $ntpwd = `/usr/sbin/smbencrypt '$oldpass'`; Except that I can't find anything by that name (i.e.

These scripts should function much the same as the binarys shouldn't they? 1. If you add a user, the users group must pre-exist. No adding users and groups simultaneously. 2. If you do add a user the gidNumber is set to the default specified in /etc/samba/smbldap_conf.pm NOT the users group as specified on the command line with "-g". This HAS to be a bug. 3. The option to leave

OK, I've finally got my Samba-LDAP PDC operational. Everything seems to work fine but it takes an age to save settings when logging off. What can I do (i.e. what would one normally do) to speed things up? I do have a huge volume of files under ~/profile/My Documents Will this affect the logoff time? Jim C.

I've got my Samba-LDAP PDC set up but I need to know how to redirect the My Documents and Application Data. I have figured out how to redirect My Documents on the client side but it really needs to be done from the server, if possible. Can someone point the way to this information? Thanks, Jim C.

I could use some help figureing out what specifically the differences are between Samba 3.0a and 2.2.X in regards to LDAP. Partucularly when it comes to the schemata. After I've got it figured out I will see that the MandrakeSecure HOWTOs are updated to include this info to help Mandrake users who want to try a Samba 3.0 DC. Note that as yet the beta version is not available in an RPM

I've not be able to find in the docs where it describes the differences between ldapsam ldapsam_nua etc. etc. I don't have access to the man pages and I've checked the online documentation also. Something has been going wrong in my config and I think a better understanding of these may help. I do know that ldapsam_compat is supposed to be backward compatible with the old LDAP

Why is it that when I use "/usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userad.pl -a Administrator -g dadm" that the group doesn't get changed to dadm? Instead it stays set to the value specified in $_defaultUserGid. Also, I must say that I find the default of *not* adding a group for the user very counter-intuitive. What exactly is the difference between gidNumber and primaryGroupID in a

2.2.7a It seems that samba-ldap is still to immature for any kind of production environment. The provided Perl scripts simply do not work with the 'add user script' setting or if they do, then there is an an undocumented bug, issue, etc. The scripts work fine from the command line but aparently samba won't execute them properly. Since I cannot expect my users to understand
