similar to: New installation

I had just sent this whine out when I discovered the ENCRYPTION.txt file in the docs directory. Thanks to Bill Knox (no relation that I know of) for confirming what I had begun to suspect when I finally RTFM. My samba installation is now working like a champ. I'm now wondering about an enhancement to smbpasswd that will allow UNIX-like password expiration and forced changes. And of course,

I've succeeded in making my samba server visible around the net, however I can't convince the thing to appear in the browse lists on remote subnets. I've read John Terpstra's article on configuring a browser at http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/ftp/docs/BROWSING-Config.txt however my (admittedly willful) ignorance of Microsoft networking is making this article seem rather

Has anyone seen this yet? I am having a problem with the my WINS entry for my Samba server disappearing from the WINS database. After this takes place I am no longer able to access my Samba server so I am forced to restart NMBD and a new entry is placed in the WINS database. Although over time this entry will vanish again and I have to repeat the restart process. I am aware that I can add a

Hi all, As I'm dumb, last time I played to update Samba version I forgot to keep a copy Policies directory in $samba_dir/sysvol/$samba_domain_name/. Is there any command to rebuild that directory with default policies? If there is not, are the IDs of default policies are always the same or samba generates this IDs? If they are always the same I would be able to copy them from another

While we do sync our /etc/passwd whenever /etc/smbpasswd is changed via the Samba sync option that does not seem to be possible the other way round: I just want a /etc/smbpasswd generated from my /etc/passwd with the correct passwords as used for the UniX login... Is that possible ? Regards, -- /(__ __|\ Lars Steinke, Research Student @ ( \/ __)_

Does anyone Know the procedure for Windows 2000 workstation, in order to not encrypt passwords. What I needed is something similar to the transcription I make below that works for windows nt4 and 98.

Dear all, I recently upgraded to Samba 2.0.3 and read the doc files about NT machines because I cannot connect to the Samba server. In the WinNT.txt file there is the following proposal: [ --- Start of pasted text --- ] The following registry entry change will re-enable clear text password handling: Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:

Hello, If you don?t want (Who wants ?) to save roaming profiles under Winnt\Profiles, than you have to change, or create (if not exist) a registry string: Run regedt32.exe and locate the key entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Add (or change) the following string: DeleteRoamingCache Standard value is 0, it has to be 1 All the Best. --

Hello, Is there a way in Linux to read Windows registry files? I have only ssh access to the Linux/Samba server, and would like to be able to check settings in user profiles (in their ntuser.dat files). Best would be if I could even edit settings in there. For now, it seems the only thing I can do is scp the files to a Windows machine, and manually load the hives in regedt32. Very

Hi, all, I can connect to the 'registry' of our Samba server using regedt32; I can't however change/add entries even though I start the program as Domain Admin. I get the message "Cannot create key.

I have my profdata folder setup and shared, I have my NETLOGON/Default User folder created and populated with the Default Profile I created from the Hive using regedt32 in windows XP. I created a new user for Samba and attempted to log on to the domain to test the default

FYI... If anyone is interested, i just finished implementing supporting for exporting printer & printer driver information stored in the various tdb's via the registry RPC routines. This code has been checked into HEAD already. I'm not planning on including it in any 2.2 bug fix releases, but thought some people might be curious to try it out. My main intent for implementing this

Heyho. I'm trying to add registry entries to my workstations remotely from my server. I can currently do this remotely from any other workstation, using the standard Windows regedt32, but I'd like to do it form the server. .. The server is Samba 3.0.22-r3 on a Gentoo server. I've been digging around for a while now, and have managed to find docs for samba-tng which seem to
