similar to: NT 4 sp3 audit + samba = total mess

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

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

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, 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

We're running an older version of Samba on an Irix machine, and just got 2.0.2 working (finally!) on our Intel/Linux box. The odd thing, is that findsmb gives different results on the two systms. On Irix it lists the NetBIOS names with OS descriptions, but on Linux it lists the IP name and no OS description. I went through it line by line and found the first difference at: ../nmblookup -r

Thanks to Drew Vonada-Smith the roaming profiles are working again. The problem was that information stored in

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:

Help please, a file server was upgraded from: Mandriva 2007.1, Samba 3.0.24-2.7mdv2007.1 to Mandriva 2008.1, Samba 3.0.28a-2.1mdv2008.1 and it broke something badly. After the upgrade logins from all XP workstations broke - some of the time. For an existing account (one with a profile already in the home directory) sometimes it will login normally. Well, almost normally, it never seems

Just in case anybody else ever needs these, here are my semi-automated powershell cloning scripts for Windows domain clients for Samba domain servers. ftp://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/windows/Cloning.zip They are not very polished, but do what I need, and could serve as a starting point for other sites. These have been tested only on XP SP3. These scripts do not use sysprep, so the

Our XP SP1 (patched with everything but SP2) workstations are logging events like: "Windows has detected that offline caching is enabled on the roaming profile share - to avoid profile corruption (etc.)" Following some goodle threads this was added to smb.conf (attached) csc policy = disable but the event still occurs, although only when something has been saved to the profile before

I am trying to automate W7 joining to our Samba domain. It works fine through the Windows GUI from the W7 workstations. However, for a script one would have to store password used for domain access, and since that is the server's root password, I really don't want to hard code that into a file. Is there a way to set (temporarily) a Samba server so that it will accept (admin/anything) as

I recently took over maintenance of a linux computer which is drawing power from a "Maruson Power Net 1500" UPS. However, there is currently no monitoring or control of the UPS by this (or any other) computer. Can nut control this device? There are serial, usb, and EPO connectors on the back of the unit. (There may be a manual but I'm going to have to hunt for it.) Thanks, David

I was hoping that someone may be able to shed some light on some issues I'm having on trying to get an Asterisk test server up and running. At the moment I have the basics, two Polycom hard phones (301 & 601 with expansion unit (which oddly will not power up)) that can call each other, log into voicemail (one touch) and have custom directories & buddy lists. Unfortunately some of the

I am using this code to calculate the moving average mean.It worked fine but when I wanted to also calculate based on sd(stander deviation) I got the error shown below. I read this documentation of R movingFun and found that sd was mentioned at http://hosho.ees.hokudai.ac.jp/~kubo/Rdoc/library/raster/html/movingFun.html I wonder if needs any other things to conseder or sd is not at all supplied

Setting up nut on a system where an LVM volume holds the root filesystem.. What is the appropriate device form to use with "mdadm --readonly" in halt? This is on a CentOS 5 system. So far I have found three possibilities, but I do not know which one (if any) will still be valid that late in the halt procedure: 1. /dev/md0 (from posts on the net) 2.

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

Well this is even more interesting. Parts of the profile are not being saved back to the server, at least for existing users. For instance, 1. login 2. change the start menu to "classic view" 3. rearrange the desktop 4. logout 5. login again start menu is back as it was and it isn't classic view any more. Very strange. Wipe the test profile on the server and the copy on the

Yesterday I migrated a Samba server from one machine running Samba 3.0.13 (on Mandrake 10.0) to another running 3.0.20-3 (on Mandriva 2006). The contents of: /etc/samba/* (all the .conf files) /usr/local/samba/private/* (secrets.pdb, smbpasswd) were moved intact from one machine to the other, as was all of the user data. I even checked md5sums - no changes to any of the samba files. Then
