ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites. finally resolved some of the niggling issues that have kept tng from working: in particular, thanks to karl denninger for helping track down "invalid users = root" in the [global] section which stops root from being able to access anything, including being able to add user accounts! tng is now back where it was about 6 weeks ago: -

when an nt 4.0 workstation or backup domain controller is joined to a domain, the trust account password is set to a well-known initial value. if you are concerned about internal network security, this is not really an acceptable risk: any captured network traffic can be decoded simply from knowing the name of the workstation, which is contained in the network traffic itself. the initial value

Hello all. There is some strange thing going on with our OS X clients. We have created a package which is run via SystemStarter. What it does? It parses /etc/fstab and mounts the NFS directories mentioned there. This is needed since we want to have static mounts and the NetInfo-automounter combination does not do static mounts (even with ttl=0 set for the mount, which is supposed to do a

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know what apple has done to samba on mac os x server? reading through the docs, it sounds like they have modified it to authenticate via netinfo. At the very least, they've done something so that rather than having an smbpasswd file, it stores the windows encrypted passwords in netinfo, and it authenticates incoming requests via netinfo rather

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites mainly a maintenance update: all bzeros replaced, as was done in cvs main / 2.0. readline detection added. if someone wants to add an autoconf test to detect -lcurses being needed by solaris readline, please create and send one. usrmgr user-account changing is now accepted (on systems compiled with the default, --with-sam-pwdb=passdb, this means

Due to the exploit in samba <2.2.8, we can no longer run the samba supplied by apple. Apple has not released any updates for OSX server 1.1.5 -- instead wanting us to upgrade to OSX server 10.2 for $900. I have been able to build the latest version of samba on max osX , but authentication is not working. What are the hooks needed to talk to the netinfo database for password information?

Hello folks, I''m new to the Rails framework and don''t know where to look to find my answer. Here is the question, Is there a way to set multiple domain name for *a* rails application, and base on the URL do the work in the app. Imagine I have a user based document management system, each user want to access to her docs using her domain, but I don''t like to have many

Hi, I'm using PXELinux (on Windows NT5.x, with Windows NT5.x tftpd and the PXE server included in the "Windows XP Embedded Remote Boot Server"). This works well here since more than 10 years now. Recently I created a subdirectory "syslinux" in my "tftpboot" ... and PXELINUX failed with the message "unable to locate configuration file". Renaming that

Hi, I have a problems and I hope somebody can help me.

hee hee, jean francois is going to be annoyed. this code is still under "definite alpha" status, but i really, really wanted to get it in there asap. so, the latest cvs checkin adds the ability to use an ldap schema for the passwords, not that i know what one of those actually is (only kidding: i've just never set one up yet). here it is: Subject: LDAP schema objectclass

Thanks for the replies.... I am stuck on the second step of your list... I do not have a smbpasswd file, so I am not sure how I can create on... also, when I run smbpasswd (the executable) as root, I get the

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

Hi, I was at the Puppet talk at Oscon and I would like to try using Puppet for PXE on RHEL machines and I was wondering if there are standard minimal Kickstart recipes from which Puppet can then take over. Thanks, Jason van Zyl jason at maven.org

Hi all, I know this has probably been spoke about before, but I'm looking for some documentation or other info on setting up NIS+ with samba.... I currently have samba running on the NIS+ master, but am having trouble setting up authentication again the NIS+ passwd tables. I'm also not exactly sure where smbpasswd comes into play with NIS+ and if I actually need to run that everytime I

So, just wanting to verify - since I *think* I understand but am not sure. [The Wiki article might be clarified re: rfc2037 - and avoid questions like this.] 2037 only comes into play if you're interested in controlling local access for *nix users on the local file system. Thus, if you are, for example, setting up a [or a pair, or more] DC only, which won't have local users - than 2037

I'm a little less new to samba now - but having a heck of a time getting authentication to work. I'm running NIS+, configured samba with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. Does anyone have some good nis/samba references? I'm striking out. The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for samba to work. I first created the smbpasswd file using

Hello, I'm new to samba. Trying to get it running on Solaris on Intel using NIS+. I configured it with the --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. I don't seem to be able to get authentication to work. I've created the smbpasswd file from my nis+ tables, set the perms per the docs (encryption.txt to name one) and when I try to run smbpasswd to set a password for
