similar to: NT Domains and Workgroups

I've got a moderate network with several subnets, a number of domains and workgroups. I have a central WINS server, each domain has its own PDC. My problem is transient users. We have occasional users who plug a laptop into the network. Once they leave, they hang around in Network Neighborhood forever. Then I have users who curiously click on their icon in NN and their machine just

Hi, I've been following some of the posts (never received a reply to mine but found one similiar). I have a question that I hope you can clarify. Original question: I can see the server from my Windows XP machine using network neighbors, but when I double click on it I get: Path not found One reply: If you're using NT domains (not simple "workgroups")... What is the

James: (Again someone correct me if I'm wrong) PAM allows local access to the Samba machine as well as authenticating Samba users. Winbind *only* allows for Samba access. This is why I chose *not* to use PAM in my setup. I don't want normal users to have local logon access to *MY* servers. <evil grin> With Winbind, you don't need PAM at all. If you're planning on

The interesting part is that PAM nor the SMB auth plugin for Apache requires you to be a member of the domain. However, the caveat with pam_smb_auth is that you have to have a unix account for every windows user you want to authenticate. I guess the behavior I'm trying to achieve is the one achieved with the Apache plugin: 1) Doesn't require you to be a member of the domain 2)

James: I use Winnind to authenticate users from the Windows PDC - I have no UNIX users. Have you looked at this? I've got an informal HOWTO if you'd like it. Thanks, Kevin L.

In the headquarter of my Institution we have some 300 windows PCs, distributed like this: domain1: 100 clients in a consolidated samba 3.0.5-2 domain (RH 9.0) domain2: 20 clients in an incipient samba 3.0.14a-2 domain (FC4) 80 clients to be joined to domain2 without domain: 150 clients beloging to some three workgroups We outsourced the deployment of a LDAP server and we are in the

Hi, I'm trying to set up browsing across subnets to provide an 'enterprise'-wide (sorry for the MS term ;-) browse list / Network Neighbourhood. I've read BROWSING.TXT, but I can't see how machines on different subnets in different domains/workgroups sync up (using Samba, anyway). On my local subnet, I've set up a clunky old Linux 386 (Samba 1.9.18p8) as the browse

Hi, I have the following situation: 192.168.64.0/24 is my local network. .1 is my PDC (samba 2.2.6) workgroup is vanheusden 192.168.97.0/24 is an intranet somewhere else to which I'm connected through a vpn. workgroup is enderman ip-forwarding is enabled on 192.168.64.1 (my default gateway and endpoint for the vpn) on 192.168.64.1 I've set hosts allow to 192.168. and 127. hosts allow =

I'm having some problems with (I think) WINS here and am hoping for some pointers to tools that will help me track down what's going on. Really, I'd like to be able to get a big dump of all of the names registered on a WINS server. (The WINS server in question is a NT box to which I don't have direct access. Ideally, I'd like to be able to see a nmblookup-style dump showing

I have Samba running without a PDC and I have some questions about the advantages for implementing one with Samba vs. the problems and disadvantages. Perhaps some kind souls can help me determine whether I should do this or not. We have three offices connected by a Checkpoint VPN, plus people "on the road" using their SecureClient tool. We want everyone to be able to get to all the

I apologize if this has been addressed in a past posting, but I couldn't find anything that answered my question in the archives. I'm looking to do a migration from WinNT4.0 Domain controllers to Samba 3.0 servers as Domain Controllers with LDAP. We have 3 NT domains (Red, Black, Green) in 3 separate sites with 2-way trusts between each Domain. We currently don't have LDAP in place

Hello, I have a few questions. I have network like this: (A)---------(MS)--------(SS)-------(B) | | inet (C) Ms and SS are linux servers with samba. others are workstations with WinMe. Can I make all subnets and all computers to see all computers on all subnets without using WINS? So A should see SS, B and C. Because between MS and SS is very long network

Hello, At my school, the Domain logons are handled for all students through a collection of Domain Controllers. Our WebTeam maintains a Linux server, and in the past has had it set up as a Samba PDC through which they can log in and access their files on the webserver through shares. The webteam no longer uses Windows 98 computers, and has moved to XP computers. The problem here is that XP joins a

Hi all, I got a new assignment today. My task is to install LDAP instead of NIS in our network, consisting of Solaris, Linux and W2k. Our actual setup is like this: Accounts are kept on a Solaris-server and served with samba and NFS. Two PCs serve as PDCs, running NOT samba on unix but a real W2k. Special MS-PAM-modules on the Solaris-server are used to synchronise accounts and passwords with

Hi - I have been attempting to set up Samba to do authentication against a Windows 2K Domain Controller as well as NT PDCs. I have installed Winbindd, Samba, and compiled with PAM and updated my smb.conf, pam.conf file and the other stuff in the installation guide. The objective of all of this is to allow an application running on top of Solaris to authenticate the users logging into the

Hi, This may be a dumb question (I'm new with this), but is it possible to use SAMBA in combination with LDAP in a Workgroup? All the manuals and examples I can find, are talking about Domains and PDCs. I have to set up a new Samba server and checkout LDAP but I'm not allowed to change the Workgroup settings... Now we use smbpasswd... Is LDAP worth the effort and time? Kind

Hi, I have a samba 2.2.1a (cvs-06.08.2001) running as PDC for my domain, and it is doing fine. But in the broadcast domain there are severeal other workgroups (no domains) with their own Domain Master Browsers. Additionaly there are always a lot of unconfigured computers not under my control, which build their own workgroups (e.g. mdkhome, workgroup...). My problem is now, how do I prevent all

Hi, Has anybody come across a situation where they were unable to register with Asterisk through a SIP stateless proxy server? I'm getting an error: "403 Authentication user name does not match account name" As far as I can tell the requests reaching Asterisk with and without the proxy are identical excepting the IP address the REGISTER request is coming from and the Via header
