similar to: findsmb on Linux different than on SGI?

Hi, How does one configure NT 4 workstation so that it will take the username/password pair typed in by the user on the console, and pass it to a PDC (in this case, Samba) for workstation/Domain login verification? Further details: The server (1.9.19, yes, I know that's alpha) is configured to be a PDC. We have several hundred Unix accounts, for which both the username and password are

I tried building the 2.0.x alpha from the CVS site on our new Linux box - but no joy. It allowed WNT 4sp3 boxes to mount a share using the domain username/password, but it wouldn't let users log onto the consoles of the WNT boxes using the same domain username/password combinations. (The log file from the interaction was not very useful - it was created for each machine which tried, but had

Ok, I'm stumped. I've got what appear to be 5 identical WNT workstation 4 sp3 machines. All have been configured to run off the primary domain controller (Samba 1.9.19). On one of these ONLY the domain logins generates a single popup window which says: Incorrect password or unknown username for \\machinename\C$ and presents them with a username/password dialog box. The users can

A samba server (2.0.2 linux/intel) is the primary domain server for "SAF". 5 workstations (nt 4sp3 intel) belong to this domain. In order to trash the event viewer, do the following: As administrator: 1. select any file (on C:, this has nothing to do with samba file sharing) 2. properties 3. audit 4. add at this point it tries to look up the users in SAF, fails, and Dr. Watson

Can the "tar" function in SMBCLIENT be used to successfully backup and restore a remote WNT 4 sp3 system disk? I'm guessing no, because: 1. active registry files, so restored disk may not be bootable 2. loss of ACLs and other "extra" file properties in tar format Anybody tried it? This is for machines with SCSI adapters, so even if we have to replace the system disk

Hi, I'm running the Alpha of 1.9.19 (we needed Samba as a domain controller) and want to know the best way to set it up so that the first login for a new user on an WNT workstation in that domain creates the profile we want for the user, rather than the one NT seems to want. 1. The profile created is about .5 Mb in size. The parts that we want in there are maybe 20% of that. How does

In 2.2.8a days, findsmb would print the OS and Server version of the machines it found, like this: *=DMB +=LMB IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION --------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.168.49.247 WINQA1 [QATEST] [Windows 5.0] [Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 192.168.49.250 WINQA2

I have a samba server 3.0.28a set up on ubuntu 8.04, which is accessed by a windows xp client. The windows machine can see and download all the shared folders from the linux machine, and the linux machine can download from the windows machine with smbclient. However, when I issue "findsmb" the linux machine only reports itself, not the windows machine. The man pages show it

Hello Herb, all. I recently played a bit harder with Samba, as I'm working on getting it set up for my sister (remotely). I came across Herb's old 'findsmb' perl script which got me a lot further along than I had been. I wanted to note a small patch I made in order for the script to deal with 'bad' characters in the machine names: --- /usr/bin/findsmb Mon Oct 12

Hi, Re: http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/samba/findsmb.1.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pb/NSLU2/NSLU2.html#S0500 Could you please advise whether or not "findsmb" should work on a WindowsXP machine?. *'findsmb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.* ** I'm trying to set-up a Linksys NSLU2 to run Apache, php and MySQL and am

In hope and all googled out, have used the basic samba functions for some time. Have now installed a few RH ES3 & 4 machines and in the majority of cases, just have PC's access directories on the Linux servers and mount points from Linux to PC's. Have noticed, after the fact, that findsmd only finds itself. On the same network have two Linux machines Redhat 7.2 findsmb gets all

Hi, findsmb doesnt list the only xp machine in the network... smbclient -NL 192.168.10.10 shows: Anonymous login successful Domain=[ARBEITSGRUPPE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED session request to 192.168.10.10 failed (Called name not

I've tried building it on a server that I know has pretty much every library possible for a program to need, but I'm still not getting a good samba install. I'm on white-dwarf linux (kernel 2.4.25), gcc 3.3.2, Samba 3.0.2a White-dwarf is home-grown, very much like slackware. When I configure and make and make install, I don't get any errors, but I when I look for some files

Howdy people, How can i resolv a little thing that i have here. Why findsmb doesn't show me the computer if it is using the SP2 (win xp) ? I use findsmb alot. Jorge Bastos

What am I missing? Samba 3.0.23b using Mandriva 2007 and an Iomega NAS drive on which I can read and write files using ftp, I can mount it on /mnt/share with the appropriate smbmount command. But findsmb shows the form in which the IP ADDRESS and NETBIOS NAME should be listed but never finds the drive. Why not?

This is a resend. I'm seeing this odd system with an IP from a different subnet again. Again ideas why this happens? Does anyone know why I might see the following output from 'findsmb'? Notice the unknown system on a completely different subnet. Would this normally be seen if someone brought in a system with a static IP on a different subnet and connected it to the network? IP

What does it mean if a windows XP consistently doesn't show up in findsmb even when it does show up in smbstatus? Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but the same machine sometimes shows up in smbstatus with two different PIDs. We've seen this with two different machines, both running XP. Here's smbstatus output (the machine in question is accountingiii): Samba

I recently ran into a situation where a Samba upgrade apparently broke the machine records in the smbpasswd file, with the resulting symptom that domain logons on those computers would fail about 95% of the time. (A very strange symptom, how it worked sometimes is still a mystery to me.) Similarly, this would fail: % smbclient -L saf01 -U 'saf/mathog%(password)' session setup failed:

After update from 3.0 to 3.4.7 roaming profiles were not being saved on XP. Disabled ipv6 on our Samba server (some update must have re-enabled it) and rebooted. Now profiles on XP seem to be working OK again. Not so for Windows 7. This is a newly set up Windows 7 machine, registry fixes were applied as indicated here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 was able to join domain, and
