As I mentioned in a previous note, I'm a new Samba administrator. I'm trying to set up both roving profiles and system policies on the Win 95 machines in our computer lab here. I have used the policy editor (POLEDIT.EXE) to define a CONFIG.POL, which I have placed in the [netlogon] share. I also used a newly-installed Win 95 machine to create the exact *initial* configuration of desktop,

The Samba set up we're using to support 25 or so Win 95 clients is working well, but my users are usually not up to complicated tasks. Has anyone found a way to get logging out down to a single action (like, Start/Logout), instead of Start/Shutdown/Close all programs and log in as another user/Yes? I'm tired of explaining this already! :) Daryl Daryl Biberdorf darylb@superserve.com

We're running Samba 1.9.18p10 under Linux (kernel 2.0.35) to provide services to 25 or so Win95 clients (Win 95 OSR 2). We currently have the users telnet to our Linux server to change their passwords. If the user puts any uppercase characters in their password, Win 95 will not log them in. Mail (via IMAP) works fine, so the UNIX passwd database appears to be OK. I looked over the

According to the Samba docs, there's really no good way to have Windows stop asking "You haven't logged on here before. Would you like your settings saved?" or whatever nonsense it actually says. However, due to headaches getting profiles COPIED and not merged with local copies as well as privacy concerns, I'd like to blast the profiles subdirectory constantly. But that

I have been using Samba 1.9.18p8 in a Solaris 2.6 machine for months but suddenly this week there is a problem. Nothing's changed. I have some persistent connection of my NTSP3 client to the samba share. When I login as usual, it fails to mount the drive. It either prompt for password but whatever password the samba rejects, or give a "Access is Denied" when you try to access the

We have been looking for a way to notify our users when they are running low on disk quota, without sending them mail. WinPopup actually seemed like the best way, so my partner began looking at feeding quota output into smbclient -M when quota was getting tight. The only problem is that smbclient -M frequently fails to find the client's host name. The -I parameter will often fix it, but I am

Hi, I've got a Samba server here that runs great! I've got an NT machine on my laptop and I can interface with the Samba server directly in any way I want, except for one thing: When I try to install a program (Visio) as a network shared app, the installation always tells me "I've determined that the target drive doesn't support long file names" after I choose to

Are there plans to support ACL in Samba? -- Fong Vang SysAdmin

Hi, I think I have two questions - one which is samba and one which is windows policy files. I'll try to limit this question to the samba side but will give the full picture for completeness. I'm trying to implement a simple policy to redirect a few simple folders (for starters). I have a policy file called NTConfig.POL that is available on my share \\wilson\netlogon (wilson is the

Hello everybody!! I have a big network here with many machines with different operating systems (Linux, Windows 9x/2000/XP and FreeBSD). Currently all of them are authenticated by a Debian GNU/Linux server running SAMBA with LDAP. It works perfectly but I have some problems to block some features from Windows users. I'm looking for some tool to control the user rights around his own station

Has anyone looked into creating custom templates for Microsoft's System Policy editor ? I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated. Does anyone know if it would be worth-while to take the time and create an updated Template to add policies to manage newer features of Windows 2000/XP through the NTConfig.POL

Dear CentOS community Greetings, i was waiting for few days before sending this email message, i thought some server may have problem. That might causing the issue, will resolve its own. but since a week now i am getting this message. because i have not come across this error before, is anyone have across what is it? why my server is unable to download the file ERROR: http: GET

Hi you Latin-American dansers, Does anyone has experience with the Policy Editor and Win95/Samba 2.0.6? I'd like to secure as much as possible for my users. The helpfile says something like put a .pol file in the netlogon share... but that didn't work. Or did I something wrong? Well, I don't want to invent the wheel again so I ask all of you... Can it be done and how? Paul Rijke

Hello all, I am a new user of samba, that's look pretty cool. I use samba 3.x. There are only windows 2000 client(and 1 XP) in french language. I don't have any license of some server version like windows NT4 server, 2000 or 2003 server. One think i would like to do is setting the time of the windows 2000 client. I write in the "logon script" : net time /domain:mydomain

Talking to myself again ;-) Samba-tool is working a little bit different then the silo/policy management on a Windows-DC. On a Windows-DC after assigning the user and host to the silo you have to assign the silo to the user and the host. When assigning the user and host to the silo with samba-tool, the assignment to the user and the host will be done at the same time. So now my policy looks
