similar to: nis homedir troubles

We are (only just) upgrading from Samba 1.9.18p10 to the latest 2.2.7a. We run Eudora 5.1 on our PC clients, which pick up their mail boxes from home directories on Solaris machines using samba shares. When we install the new Samba, all our Samba clients slow down incredibly. I suspect here is a change in the Samba config file requirements between the versions? Has anyone else already solved

Greetings, I'm using 2.0.0-alpha13 on Solaris (compiling with gcc 2.8.1 on Solaris 2.5, running on 2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.6). I see this in the smb.conf.5 man page: nis homedir (G) Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on a workstation on demand from a remote

I would be grateful if anybody could supply some more information on the 'nis homedir' option (Samba 1.9.17a4). We have home directories spread over several Samba hosts. Although they can be accessed via 'amd' from any other server it would be a great benefit to be able to guarantee that all connections were made directly to the correct server. The man page looks promising but I

maybe there is a bug regarding the use of nis to mount the user's home directory at the login or my misconfiguration. After the CentOS 6.4 (64bit) installation I checked for the latest samba version on the official repository using yum: the latest version (that was already installed) is samba- 3.6.9-151.el6. >From "man smb.conf" I have seen that "nis homedir" is not yet

Hi I use NIS om my network (CentOS4.6). When an update on a map occurs (home directory changed in /etc/passwd for instance), I run make -C /var/yp/ and check the result on a client. On the client I use "ypcat passwd" and find indeed that the update has propagated (the clients run ypbind service). On the client I have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf with : passwd: files nis shadow:

To ANYONE that can help :), we where using samba version 2.0.7 and everything worked great. we just upgraded to version 2.2.7a. and now we get this weird/wicked problem. sometimes when a user logs out and then trys to log back in it says "//servername/.ntprofile/share/file" cannot be copied over. i can delete the file and then another file cant be copied over. i at times cant delete

I'm running Samba 2.0.0 on Solaris 2.5 and 2.6. I've had a report that a user on a Wincenter machine (NT4 + Windows Terminal Server + Citrix Metaframe + NCD stuff) dragged a Word document from his NT fileserver onto one of my Samba servers and the result was filled with zeros. We have been able to reproduce the problem from annother account on the Wincenter machine, but cannot make it

Hello, I have following setup: User homedir are on server B and I have samba running on server A and B (B is dec/osf1, A is HPUX). In Luke's reply to "Spiros B" (tue 12 aug 97) he said: > because (and this is the bit about the home.map support that i don't > exactly understand, and don't quite follow) when you do a domain logon > to server A, the home.map support

Our domain controller is running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8. We have XP laptops. We swap between a builtin network card, docking port and wireless card. All of these have separate IP addresses. If I say, boot up with the wireless card, then remove it and use the builtin network card, the IP address in wins.dat on the server doesn't change. It still has the IP address of the wireless card.

Hi, I have a problem with the followig configuration. If anyone can shed some light on it I would be very grateful! Solaris 8 Samba 2.2.4 running via inetd NT 4.0 users access data and their own home directories stored on Unix from, mainly, NT PCs Not all, but some users end up with multiple smbd processes. Every now and again, one smbd process (normally belonging to one of about 3 users)

I am working in an environment with an HP-UX NIS that my Red Hat ES 4.x system is using for Unix access controls. My Red Hat system is serving as an NFS server for the HP-UX users who also could be Windows users coming from a Windows Server 2003 active directory. I have tested some configurations of SAMBA using winbind, but I don't get the results I want. What happens when using winbind

Ran into a major issue with my setup overnight: We have a Win2K AD domain running SFU with a master and 1 slave NIS server. Our mail server is a FC1 box that runs dovecot and a MailScanner/sendmail config. The mail server is configured as a NIS client. The problem is that we lost power overnight and all of the boxes shutdown after the UPS's ran out of battery. After the power came back on,

I have the following nis map (auto.facvs) * -vers=3 &:/disk1 Which allows hosts that have /disk1 exported to be mounted to /facvs/$hostname It works fine, but on Centos4, it allows me to cd /facvs/foo (where foo isn't a real host out there) I find it has mounted my local /disk1 as /facvs/foo. It seems to be ignoring the key in the map pertaining to the host if it's not a valid

I seem to have this very odd issue with CentOS 6 WRT NIS. I have taken the package selection that I used with CentOS 5 and basically plopped it into my C6 kickstart file (see below). On C5 this works just fine and I'm able to log in with NIS credentials just fine. However, it looks like on C6 if you use a package selection like this, you also need to specify the yp-tools package as part of

The company where I work is mostly a Windows shop, but I run a few CentOS servers and desktops.

I am currently using Mssfu, nss_ldap, and pam_ldap to enable my linux boxes to auth against MsA.D. and get all their user info from MsA.D. I recently discovered that winbind can accomplish the same without Mssfu, as long as I'm content to be limitted by the winbind config directives 'template shell' and 'template homedir'. I'd like to drop sfu if I can. The 'template

Howdy, I setup a test NIS domain that i'd like to test the home automounting feature so basically i done this; -Setup the NIS server and domain, make changes on Makefile to include auto.master, auto.home -had the client successfully connected to new NIS domain. on NIS/NFS server i added this on /etc/auto.master file; /home /etc/auto.home on /etc/auto.home i have this; *
