Okay leave it to me to screw crap up! This worked before i started to play with some machine's ip addresses. Now im screwed and its not working at all. I will go through everything i have done from start and hopefully someone can tell me what I need to do to fix it. Please make two notes before you read this, i am not the person who setup the samba server on this linux box(running Debian)

Dear all, I'm trying to set up Samba as a PDC, and try as I might I can't get that magical "Welcome to the DOMAIN domain" message. V. frustrating! I'm running 2.0.3. I've run through all the DIAGNOSE.txt messages without problems and can access all the shares fine. I've set everything up as in the NT domain FAQ, but still I can't get my box to be part of that

I have been working on loggin onto my linux server from my win2K box and get this error in the log.smb file passdb/smbpassfile.c:trust_password_lock(119) trust_password_lock: cannot open file /etc/NEFF.LINUX.mac - Error was no such file or directory passdb/smbpasssfile.c:trust_get_passwd(288) domain_client_validate: unable to open the machine account password file for machine LINUX in domain Neff

i changed ip to my server and then i cant connect anymore using _NT authentication this the error i got from the log file: [root@server samba]# tail -f log.luca [1999/08/27 19:07:05, 0] passdb/smbpassfile.c:trust_get_passwd(294) domain_client_validate: unable to read the machine account password for machine SERVER in domain SATORI.

Using Samba v2.0.10 on a RedHat v7.1 box, I see that the Win98 clients on our network are making sporatic requests for user "nobody" (as shown below). Anyone know what's going on here? My network has both Linux and Win98 clients, but only the Win98 clients are showing this behavior. Both the Linux and Win98 clients access the same shared drives, but only the Win98 clients use

Hello everyone, we try to use a server running linux in an NT-domain and get the error message given in the subject-line. More details from the logfile and smb.conf are given below. Can anyone give us a hint what the problem is? (Of course...) The problem is very urgent for us. Thanks a lot in advance. Helmut Rickel ================= smb.conf ======================== [global]

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

Hi! We're using Samba as PDC, and recently had a strange crash on the system (none of the NT-machines authenticated anymore). I re-created the user database and passwords on the server (TurboLinux 2.2.14-5, with Samba 2.0.6 & 2.1alpha for auth.) and also re-newed the profiles making 'em local on the NT-workstations. Sometimes when the NT-PC gets rebooted, I can't authenticate it

The problem: Strangely, the PDC rejects user password challenges from Samba. The user account gets locked. After unlocking the account, everything is back to normal. This happens several times a day to different users and from different Samba servers. All Samba servers have the same [global] configuration. Is this a Samba problem? Is samba perhaps not passing along the correct password? If I add

Hi, Recently i moved from samba 2.0.5a to Samba 2.0.6 on 4 machines. Samba 2.0.5a ran quite smooth except for oplocking problems, so i decided to upgrade. I compiled both releases myself and used the same ./configure options both times (but i compiled on different machines: v 2.0.5a was compiled on a HP 9000/715/50, 2.0.6 was compiled on a HP 9000/800/K360) I used binutils 2.9.1 and gcc 2.8.1 on

I have been running RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.3 for the past week or so. My network is made up of NT servers and 95/98 clients. So far Samba has been running beautifully - I can use my Samba shares just like they are NT shares. My only problem is from time to time my Win98 machine "goes to sleep" and asks me for either a password or an IPC$ password. Generally this happens after a

I was looking through my logs this morning and noticed this error. Looks like it's been happening quite a bit on my home network of win 98 boxes. I looked through some of the last months' archives but didn't see anything... apologies in advance if i missed it.... here are the errors: [2000/12/30 15:54:28, 0] passdb/smbpassfile.c:get_trust_account_password(202)

My systems: rh61, 2.2.14 + smbfs-nls.patch. === 1) Samba seems to override unix permissions in a particular case. I get the very same behavior of: http://us1.samba.org/listproc/samba-technical/February2000/0476.html === 2) browsing behavior: anonymous login There is a different behavior doing smbclient -L -U% if the server is samba or nt/w2k nt wants a correct user/pass pair if guest account

Hi folks, I'am using Samba 2.0.0 on a Linux and a Sun box and i have the following problem: I can log in from a smbclient but not from an NT Client using Security=Domain. 1.) Doubleclick on the machine opens the password dialouge (which should'n appear, beacuse i'am already logged in the domain) Enter my domainusername and password. Window dissapears and appears again and forces me

Every once in a while a user cannot connect to one of two samba servers. Most of the time (but not always), if he waits 15 minutes to an hour, he can connect successfully. Sometimes he can connect to one server, but not the other, which have the same configuration. We are using authentication from the NT server. Samba version 2.0.3 The messages in the log file are are shown below. In this

Hi, I?ve setup a Samba 2.0.5a on a SuSe 6.2 based Linux 2.2.10. I?m trying to integrate the server into our NT domain SF-DOM as described in samba/textdocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt . The described procedures work, but access as domain user is impossible. In the logfile I get: [1999/09/14 11:18:31, 2] smbd/server.c:main(716) Changed root to / [1999/09/14 11:18:31, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(96)

Samba 2.0.3-8 installed via rpm RH5.2 I've set up security = domain. I have 2 errors: 1. I cannot map to a share on the linux PC via name. 2.

A couple of days ago I posted a problem I was having with the smbapasswd command for users (not root). Here is the original post: I have Samba installed on a HP-UX 11.00 system using NIS for UID/password resolution. The smbpasswd file hasbeen initilized and as root I can add a user's password and the user can "attach" the "share". But when the user tries to do the

Hello, I have a fairly large problem mounting a samba share from within linux. The samba server, running Solaris 7 with Samba pre-2.0.7, has a bunch of shares on it, one of which I can mount from Windows, while logged into the ACADIA domain, but I cannot mount that share using smbmount in linux. When I log into windows, I log in with the username 033197m and my password. In smb.conf I have my
