Howdy: Can anybody explain why /var/log/messages is filled with the following? Aug 18 09:37:53 rama PAM_pwdb[28483]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> arnold for samba service Aug 18 09:38:25 rama PAM_pwdb[28494]: (login) session opened for user arnold by arnold(uid=0) The first one happens every time I browse to rama from win95 Explorer; the second one is from a telnet login

Greetings all, I'm running a RedHat 5.0 (kernel 2.0.32) Linux box with samba 1.9.18p7 and I'm having a problem with my netlogon share. NT domain logons are working just fine, but I keep getting the following message in /var/log/messages, repeated every day for every user logging in: May 26 09:08:09 gromit PAM_pwdb[23002]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> [username] for samba

Hello, I don't know much about Samba so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm currently working on a project for a client that relies on Unix machines for their main applications. Access to Unix applications is done through terminal emulation (vt 100) on Windows PCs. We are implementing a Windows NT network for file an print sharing and to support SMS. One of the goals of the

Hi, Please help me resolve this problem. While compiling samba-1.9.18p8, I got this message: cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6 make: *** [smbpass.o] Error 1 I have re-edited the Makefile, and recompiled several times. Each time I got the same error message, at exactly this same spot. Is this a problem with my gcc compiler? which the message seems to imply. But I have

>>"foobar." Win95 keeps sending over it's username as the person who logged >>in to that computer, or as the computer's machine name... and samba uses >>that. I'd rather if they just typed in "foobar" they'd be in foobar's >>account. Can this be done? >Establish a group foobar in /etc/group with all the users that shall be

Hiya Everyone I'm having a lot of trouble with the MS TCPIP client for DOS and Samba (all versions) running on Linux v2.1.9[789]. I think this is more of a kernel problem than a Samba problem, but better to cover all bases. When running any kernel up to 2.1.85, the DOS client runs at a sensible speed reading off a Samba shared drive, however from 2.1.97 onwards (I didn't run anything in

Running samba 1.9.16p11 on Digital Unix 3.2c. We currently access unix shares from W95 without problems but now since we had our network overhauled, 2 MSDOS harddriveless PC's need to be able to access the unix system for it's hard drive. They have Intel Express cards . How do I setup the MSDOS computer to map a drive to SAMBA. One question is these computers do not have IP addresses, how

I have looked and lurked among windows users, but no one seems to know the answer -- so I thought I'd ask the UNIX users :) What exactly is going on when a W95 machine "Logs into the network" if there are no PDC's, BDC, or NT domains at all? I have a pc that I'm trying to dial into the home office with (Samba server on sunOS, WINS support, the whole deal) it will log in

Hi all, stupid question time but when encryption is turned on. does that mean the entire connection is encrypted or just the passwords? -sv

Novice question: I'm trying to use MKS Source Integrity, which is a (mostly) windows based source code control system to access a bunch of code stored in an MKS repository on an NT box and deposit the checked out files on a Unix box via a Samba share. (It's come to this, I'm porting Windows code to Unix, how depressing.) Anyway, the problem I'm having is that the Windows box

This is a REAL problem on the way to world domination ;-) PROBLEM: since we moved a MS-Access MDB (16 Meg) to samba, it ist killing queries more than twice a day, loosing records, ... It seems the application has no chance to recognice locked records and inform the user. with smbstatus I get one locking entry for the first user accessing the database (like: DENY_NONE RDWR), the second is not

Hi all, I have a network with Win95 clients and a samba-server 1.9.18p3 on Linux 2.033. Linux is only used as serversystem, clientusers are nonfamiliar with Linux. Sometimes it would be usefull, to start a program or script on the server from the client. This can be done via telnet, but I'd like to know if there is some sort of call implemented in samba to start a script on the server

I have a problem with __extremely__ slow performance using the Eudora mailtool. Both the executables and the mailbox are on (different) Samba servers. I have played with all the combinations of placements for executables and mailbox, and what it amounts to is that the slowness happens with the mailbox on a SunOS 4.1.4 Samba server. It doesn't happen on a Solaris based Samba server. As an

Hi, I have an application under Access that is running dead slow. I've done some testing and it appears that Access really likes to use OPLOCKS which of course Samba does not support. Is there any work underway to get Samba to support OPLOCKS? I know they are difficult to implement but I'm faced with a decisions now to buy an NT box (Ugh!) or do a lot of messing around to get this

Hi all. I know this has probably been asked before, but I need a quick answer, and didn't find anything on the net. Has anyone done any benchmark comparisons of server speed from Win95 clients, accessing files on a Samba 1.9.17p1 server share, as compared to an NT Server, running on the same server hardware? If so, how did Samba 1.9.17 measure up to the NT server? I need an answer to this,

Hi, please imagine the following scenario: We have 4 local samba networks consisting of multiple samba machines and Win95 and NT machines as well. They all talk to each other and all works well. We have one central (samba) WINS server for all 4 nets. These 4 nets are connected together and communicate to the outside world through a firewall. Now I want to connect to exactly one share on the

I read in the Samba docs that there is a problem with "utime()" when a user updates another users file the modified time cannot be updated. According to the docs, even if it the file has write permissions set for the non-owner. When I attempt to do a test on a files that is mode 777, I create the file as one user, wait a minute, edit it again as another user, and it changes the modified

We have a few win9x workstations, that have spurious login problems. They get the message: No domain server was available to validate your password you may not be able to gain access to some network resources. The passwords are definetly correct and the problem will sometimes disappear after 5 - 10 retries, but almost always after a full restart of the win9x PC, very occasionally it takes as

I much regret in many ways having to ask this question below. But our business needs now demand more than we think we can deliver using open source software exclusively. What is the best way to 'suck up' all of the domain group and user data from a current samba 3.0.21a PDC into a microsoft windows 2003 server? We have two basic needs that demand we now introduce active directory servers

Does the following setup have any chance of ever working without to many problems? Our mix of ~ 40 workstations (win98se & xp pro) get the home drive mapped in the netlogon script when connecting into the domain for win9x net use h: \\linux\homes for win xp net use h: \\linux\homes /persistent:no relevant sections of our redhat 7.3 w/ samba 2.2.8 smb.conf are: [global] ;; server name
