UNOFFICIAL Hi, I am running an old SAMBA DC (Bilbo) that I want to upgrade. I installed the latest version of SAMBA 4 on an old PC (jimbo) and joined the domain. I intend to transfer the FSMO roles, upgrade Bilbo and transfer the roles back. I have transferred all roles except domaindns and forestdns. Jimbo says that these roles have no owner but Bilbo thinks it is the owner. Is there some way

Hi everybody - I'm trying to write a Perl wrapper for some rsync tasks that need doing. Problem is, there's some sort of odd interaction going on between Perl and the daemon mode communication for the rsync client, and I'm at my wit's end in trying to figure it out. Here's the Perl script: #####################################################

Hello. I'm trying to convert a Samba server from 2.2.8.0 on AIX 4.3.3 to Samba Version 3.0.4.0 on AIX version 5.2.0. I have listed my smb.conf file from the old version below and was hoping someone could point to the changes I'll need to make on the newer version. Thanks so much Right now, the users are verified against an NT Domain and I'd like to keep it that way. I really

I know this question has been asked quite a few times from the archive, but nothing in the previous posts seems to help my setup. I currently have samba 3.0.21c running on Slackware with CUPS as the printing conduit. It's setup as a PDC as can be seen from the smb.conf file below. I cannot, no matter what I've tried, get the server to allow me to add printer drivers to a printer

UNCLASSIFIED Hi, I can successfully setup an IPv6 Reverse Lookup Zone (Samba 4.8.0 Internal DNS) and add valid PTR entries using samba-tool and/or RSAT DNS. However I cannot view the PTR records with samba-tool or RSAT. [root at bilbo user]# samba-tool dns add localhost 4.e.7.c.9.3.0.b.4.7.6.0.7.8.d.f.ip6.arpa 5.5.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 PTR brutus.dev.local Password for [administrator at

I'm having an issue with the --suffix and -b flags - I've tried the following commands: rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup rsynctest user@server.com::module rsync -avbr --backup-dir=/rsyncbackup --suffix="" rsynctest user@server.com::module and either way, I wind up with a tilde as a suffix on all the files moved into the backup directory at time of synchronization.

Hi list - I've been using Samba since 2.x in the early 2000's, and a papercut I had eight years ago still plagues me today - when anyone on a Windows client right-clicks a folder on a Samba share and tries to view or change its permissions, it doesn't work right. The folder appears to have no permissions enabled for owner, group, or world (regardless of what the permissions

Rsync counts directories as files when it's creating the file list, but does not count them as files in the "files transferred" statistic. Example output from my backup logs, when initializing a new backup volume (rsyncing a set of data to a completely empty filesystem): [2004-07-09 03:03:37] - Number of files: 75007 [2004-07-09 03:03:37] - Number of files transferred:

It occurs to me that it would probably avoid a LOT of newbie confusion if instead of "bytes written" and "bytes read", the stats said "bytes sent" and "bytes received". Anybody who doesn't know better intutively tends to grasp "bytes written" as what got written *to the hard drive* rather than what got sent over the pipe. Jim Salter JRS

A couple of ideas about things that would be nice to see in rsync: 1. a "0.5v" option - something that would just show a progress either by file or by megabyte, ie "processing file 1,048 of 9,032" or "processing: 832 of 3,459 MB". The standard "verbose" is good for troubleshooting, but it's not very useful for gauging how much has been done and how

Hiya, I''ve recently been looking at removing the dependency in our CRM/CMS on MSIE XML Databinding so that it''ll run properly in Firefox.. The solution I''ve created uses the prototype.js lib so I thought I might share my efforts here if that''s ok? It''s still _very_ early days but there''s the beginnings of a writeup here:

Hello, After researching the subject on the internet I concluded that Samba should take into account Unix file acls. During my tests I found the opposite. Only Unix file mode bits are respected, and file acls are ignored. If my initial assumption is correct and Samba do respect Unix file acls, then I am doing something wrong. Please see the setup below and point to what I am doing wrong.

Hi, We are running Samba 4.0.9 running on centos 6.5 (64bit) with SecureLinux disabled. Having some share access issues, what are we missing to solve this puzzle? We are attempting to get the MSDFS share working. Until we can fix this we cannot continue. This is the Domain provision and dns, and reverse zone setup. Dhcp server set point all clients at samba as primary dns server. Nslookup

Hello, I have a general administrative question concerning Samba shares. I have a large amount of data that about 25 users have limited access to. I only want these users to have access to a sub-set of this data, but I also only want the users to see that which they have access to. So, for example, suppose that the share looks like thus: /smbshare /smbshare/dir1 /smbshare/dir2

Hi, I am using redhat 5.1 and want to print to an hp722c on a NT 4.0 box with service pack 3 installed. The printer works fine locally. I have created a win-printer spooler on the redhat machine as a SMB printer to a share on the NT machine called //bob/hp720. I created a printer on the NT machine called hp720 and shared it off as hp720 with the permissions everyone full control. The printer
