similar to: PDC/BDC && "domain logons = yes"

I have run into a problem recently which is driving me crazy. :) Our current setup is as follows: FreeBSD 2.2.8 server running Samba 2.0.5a The Samba server auths against an NT 4.0 Server (SP5). Certain NT machines in our network (NT 4.0 Server SP4), have problems accessing shares on the samba server. After a clean boot, they will be able to successfully access the shares for about 1/2 hour,

I am setting up samba as a print server on a FreeBSD machine. I would like the users to be able to control the print queue by using the Pause option in Windows NT. It seems that I have a permission problem doing this though. -- Portion of smb.conf -- [global] lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j queuepause command =

You can do the later in (most?) Unixes by turning on setgid for the directory (ie. you don't do it within

I have set up several shares which our staff will have access to. They are central repositories where we will be storing things like documents and drivers, etc. I would like to allow staff to add items into the shares, but to now be able to remove anything (Except maybe what they put in..) I have created a share called drivers: [drivers] comment = General Hardware

Is it possible to have a share within a share, or to force group on directories within a share? What I am trying to do is set up departmental shares, but find that having them all in the root list of shares looks messy (too many shares :P ) What would be preferable, would be to have a [departments] share, then put a share for each department within that share. Just using directories within

Hey all, might be a tad bit off topic to samba, but not entirely unlrelated. Anyhow, as I understand it, the task of a BDC is to process most if not all of the domain logons before a PDC does so is it not? It has been my understanding that the BDC generally accepts and processes domain logons before the PDC does on a network to keep the load down on the PDC until such time as the BDC cannot

I'm trying to set up Samba on RHEL4 as a BDC for subnet 10.6.0.0/16. The PDC is located at another site and on another network. Its IP address is 10.2.0.2. There are other BDCs on subnets 10.1.0.0/16, 10.3.0.0/16, and 10.4.0.0/16 that all function fine. This is the only one on RHEL and this is the only one on a 64 bit box. We are using ldapsam for the passdb. The important config lines

If I have a PDC and 3 BDCs on separate networks, with no clients on either of these networks, should the BDCs still be the preferred logon servers or do the have to be on the same network segment? Does where the wins server is (on the PDC) make a difference to which responds first? I've got 95% of my clients using the PDC and would like to spread the load a little. Samba 3.0.21c on Solaris

Hello all, We have Samba (2.2.5) running on three servers, each in a different subnet. One of them is a PDC (domain master = yes). The Samba PDC is also the NIS master. The smbpasswd is replicated using rsync to the other machines that act as Samba BDCs (domain master = no). They are also NIS slave servers. The smbpasswd synchronization takes place automatically every time smbpasswd is updated,

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

Hi, My doubt is about Idmap + LDAP + winbind, related do BDC + PDC. We are using Samba 3.0.33 (Slackware 12.0.0). Our layout is almost like this one http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/images/chap6-net.png, but we have more BLDGn than this example. Actually, we are taking ideas from http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html and from

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

Hi there, I would like to know how Samba / Windows determines which domain controller should handle a logon request, and whether there is a way I can affect the process. Here's the situation: I have a school installation running a Samba domain, with a PDC (1.1GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM) and one BDC (much smaller, 366 with 64 MB RAM), both with RedHat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.5. There are about 80

Hi!. I've already read that really useful notebook. Thanks for it. Sadly, I couldn't find any differences. All seems work OK without "username map" but as soon as I map OURDOM\Administrator to root v?a "username map",? I lost "Sessions" and "Open files" in RSAT, so I would like to know if I miss something without that mapping. Does RSAT

Hi, people. I hope you are doing well Could you help me please?. I've a question about "username map" in SAMBA File Servers We have DCs and File Servers based on Samba? 4.19.6?

Hi, I had a working enviroment of one PDC and several BDCs. The PDC is Samba version 3.6.6. After replacing of one BDC, I've started to get the following error in LDAP master server: Aug 22 13:44:59 gw slapd[28598]: conn=46129 op=51 do_search: invalid dn (sambaDomainName=Administrator,(null)) and on the PDC: root@:~# net getlocalsid smbldap_search_domain_info: Adding domain info for XXX

Hola Iv?n, Good that you use MJT repo, but you probably don?t need it, bookworm back ports provides the same version these days. http://samba.bigbird.es/doku.php?id=samba:installing-from-backports https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=samba&suite=bookworm-backports Regarding your member server, may I suggest you check out my notes, based on official samba wiki:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Sorry for this general question, but I'd like to hear your opinion on this subject, but I'd like to set up a really working backup solution for my PDC, currently it uses NFS, so there are lots of issues: No ACLs, When NFS server goes down, everything fails. What method would you recommend for replicating folders, keeping existing ACLs

How to configure smb.conf of a samba BDC server to allow that all changes (user's passwords changing, joining computers) was written to local LDAP. I?ve set remotes LDAP's (BDCs) with multimaster configuration via syncrepl.
