similar to: samba 2.0.6 breaks domain validation (for me)

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

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

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. When I use IP address to map a share, I get the following errors in the log.<machine> [1999/05/14 14:44:24, 0] smbd/uid.c:become_gid(105) Couldn't set effective gid to 99 currently set to (real=0,eff=0) [1999/05/14 14:44:24, 0]

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

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

We are seeing erratic behaviour from Samba for connecting Unix drives to an NT terminal Server. Samba version 2.0.6 Solaris 2.6 NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition with service pack 4 running WinCenter NIS Logon Utility. The NT server is not part of a domain and uses the WinCenter Logon Utility to authenticate username and passwords from my Unix NIS server. Samba is set up for server level

We recently upgraded one of our AIX servers (AIX 4.3.3 on new hardware), on which we share documents via a SAMBA share, the samba version is at 2.0.6. Since that upgrade I have been getting calls from clients on multiple subnets having difficulty connecting, slow download/upload speeds, and getting their Microsoft domain accounts locked up. Upon review the log files for those complaining, I see

I'd like to change Samba passwords from win95 and NT4 clients. I use security=user. I don't give shell access to every user, so they can't use smbpasswd. I've tested from a win95 client with the precompiled samba-2.0.4b.i386.rpm: net pass \\greg greg test1 test2 I'd used smbpasswd to change greg's password to test1 on host greg prior to this. Here's the smbpasswd

Hi! I know this is about the most asked question on these lists. I've been searching the archives looking for an answer, but all I can find is the same question over and over... I'm trying to get the Unix Password Sync option to work on my server. I'm running RH 6.0, with MD5 and shadowed passwords enabled, and Samba 2.0.5a (the RPM version). When I try to change passwords using

Could somebody please help me with the following problem. I am running samba 2.0.6 on redhat 6.1. I want to change passwords from my win9X clients with the 'net password \\server user' command or the password dialog in the system setting. My globals are as followed.. security = user encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd passwd

Fellow Samba Users: This is my first attempt at running Samba. I recently came into possession of an older Sun Sparc 2 with a 4.6G drive, so I thought to myself ... great! I can run RH 6.0 and Samba on it and use it as a file server. Seemed like a good idea. I installed Redhat, and went right to work configuring Samba. After a few hours I noticed that there was a newer version of Samba than

Hi all, We are having some problems getting a solaris 9(sparc) file server running samba 2.2.2 to authenticate aginst a windows NT 4 PDC. Let me say first that this was all working at one time, then we had some data corrumption on our NFS mounted /usr/local, and had to restore from tape. Due to some issues with solaris ufsdump and ufsrestore, stuff was not quite put back properly. We do

Hi all, We use samba here at our site as an interop solution for use with ClearCase. I'm afraid I'm just a lowly ClearCase administrator not a Unix administrator. All our solaris servers are running Solaris 8 and we're using Samba version 2.2.2 First Question : Our Unix Admin guy has said that we can't upgrade our version of Samba as 2.2.2 is the latest version that Sun have

Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 7/SPARC. Windows 2000 SP2 domain controller (native mode). Joined samba to domain as per htmldocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.html. [global] workgroup = DOM security = domain password server = charon However, connecting to shares as non-guest fails due to authentication problems (below). As htmldocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.html indicates this does work, is there some other magic that needs

This problem was somewhat irregular in the past, but is becoming a major nuisance now... On connecting a drive, users (all W95) have their NT domain accounts locked out. In the logs, I see things like: [2000/02/09 07:24:49, 1] smbd/password.c:(1131) password server <PDC> rejected the password [2000/02/09 07:24:49, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:(50) startsmbfilepwent: unable to open file

Hi, Samba guru; I need your help. I am using samba 2.0.6. security = server and password server = NT PDC; nt acl support = yes. I am trying to change permission using the NT security dialogs but failed. In the log file I found that apparently when I connect to the samba directory, I get authenticate correctly. But when try to change permission, samba does not try to authenticate through password

Hi there, I ran into a weird problem. 2 machines, one with an NE2000 clone (W95) card and the other with an Etherworks203 (linux with Samba). Samba: from W95 client file shares ok, home shares ok, can read and write files. Printing: I *can* configure a printer up to the printing of the testpage, that fails. At starting of W95 it succesfully connect to the printer share. Printing something fails,

Hi all, I recently loaded Samba 2.0.3 on AIX 4.3.2, everything seem to be working fine except that every now and then a user will be prompted that the username/password was incorrect. After trying to enter the username and password their domain accounts are locked. Up until this point they were connecting with out any problems. They will have their account reset and everything is ok again for a

Hi all I am sure that there is some mention of this error in the docs somewhere but I could not find it. So, sorry for repeating it here.

Hello, all.. I'm running into some weird password problems with Samba 2.0.5a. Here's what I'm *trying* to do. I have several Linux & Sun boxes that I'd like to share their resources with various DOS/Win9x PCs. I don't want to have to maintain password files on each of the these. Currently, the Unix passwords are shared via NIS, with a SunOS box as the master. What I
