Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

Hello, I'm running samba 2.2 on FreeBSD 4.4. I was wondering if there was a way to sync up the samba and FreeBSD user passwords so that when either via the unix passwd or samba's smbpasswd program a user changes a password it is changed through both systems? If anyone is dong this successfully please let me know. Thanks. Dave.

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped. (mostly) Connecting to shares still works. Navigating the tree till works. Changing (DOS) attributes still works. But actually opening files and reading the contents doesn't work. The client just times out (Win 3.11, and

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Hi all, Can you use Samba to store an XP Pro profile? I'm running Samba 3.0.2a (compiled from source) on Solaris 9. Compiled it against OpenLDAP 2.1.30 and MIT Kerberos 1.3.3 (both compiled from source from fresh downloads today). Am now trying to get Windows XP Pro to store profiles on to this box. The smbd and nmbd seem to run fine. Every time XP Pro goes to create a user's

Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

Hi all, Looking for a solution to the following:- # smbpasswd -x jh--- build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username jh--- with uid 1774 is not in unix passwd database!

Hi all, I'm trying to get a Samba server (which is a member of a Samba controlled domain) to store WinXP Pro user's profiles. The XP user is authenticating against a 2003 Active Directory server, which then tells it to store it's profile on my Samba server. The 'profiles' share exists and is writeable and under some circumstances we can get profiles to be stored there,

Hi, Am I right I thinking that if I turn on 'dns proxy', I can do '\\smb.x.org' (if it fits into 15) letters? I'd like to use 'dns proxy' but only for local addresses in my domain. Would it be possible to do add a 'dns proxy local only = yes' or something (new option) which won't use DNS to resolve names which have a '.' in? (Alternatively, if

I have tried hunting through docs/lists/Google but no joy. I am sure I saw something about running multiple Samba's on different ports but I want to use different interfaces all on port 139. So: Can I run multiple s/nmbd's on the same machine? I have nine main VLANs and somewher in the region of 30 odd worgroups (don't ask !) of which 10 are of interest. 3,500 odd PCs. I have a

Hello, I am wondering if Samba cares what types of files you are putting onto the server and if this effects the performance of the server. Attempts to copy various file types to my Samba 2.2.5 RH7.3 server have given mixed results. I appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you. Sincerely, Robert Dempsey Atlantic Dominion Solutions

Hi Maybe this is a common stupid problem, but when I try to login to Samba server from Win311 (right after its start) Windows exits very quickly to DOS prompt without error messages. If I enter Windows without loginning to Samba server, and try to login then it hangs (mouse is still active) showing me its watch. I have a couple of Win311 hosts and this happends with all of them. What could it

While looking further into our load problems with Samba, and specifically with logins, I bumped up our debug level to 10. This has me really worried: in log.smb, I now see that *every other* chdir logged is to *my* home directory. Why? It's not in the source, that I can see. It's not in smb.conf or in our logon script. It looks like each and every user that logs on "passes

Hi folks, we're running Samba 2.0 on a SuSE 5.3 based System and I have two questions about an authentication issue: 1: I cannot connect to SWAT as user root because of authentication failure ("invalid password"). We're using shadow password and I compiled the Samba-suite with "-Wshadow". 2. We've a share to which every user connects as himself. File permissions

My name is Angelica Nunes and I work at TV Globo Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. I need some help about the SAMBA software. Our system is based on Silicon Graphics' machines, models: Indy, Impact, Onyx and Indigo using Operational System Irix 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4. We must upgrade all these systems to Irix 6.5 version. We would like to know which samba version is compatible with Irix 6.5? Where do I can

I'm running Samba 2.2.3 with winbind for authentication. Much to my surprise, I found I had a need to connect an MS-DOS system to the network. I'm using MSCLIENT to do so. I can successfully log into the domain and map drives on Windows NT servers, but I'm having trouble mapping Samba shares. Examining the log shows that the DOS machine is apparently trying to connect with a username

Dear Sirs, is there a tool which performs check between /etc/passwd and PREFIX/private/smbpasswd ? (I mean different UID when username is the same, missing entries, duplicate entries, etc....) Regards, Ilia Chipitsine
