ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites mainly a maintenance update: all bzeros replaced, as was done in cvs main / 2.0. readline detection added. if someone wants to add an autoconf test to detect -lcurses being needed by solaris readline, please create and send one. usrmgr user-account changing is now accepted (on systems compiled with the default, --with-sam-pwdb=passdb, this means

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites rpcclient and samedit etc. on sun ultras were failing because getopt cannot be reused. evidence of this is by doing a samedit "createuser username -p password" and the reported password on-screen is total garbage. this was fixed by using the GNU getopt and getopt_long functions (hooray!) in the same way that rsync does. i have access

what you've all been waiting for: a merge of smbd from cvs main to SAMBA_TNG. please help test this one lots, i may have missed something from the code i pulled over from cvs main (70,000 lines of code pretty much copy and diff style!) i spent some time last night getting the security file/dir tab working, and lo and behold, you can view and change unix file perms (i am very impressed,

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha or mirror sites. this version has security = domain tested and, shock-horror, working. it is possible to do SMB connections with WORKSTATIONNAME\username (wow) and actually, this is _necessary_, because otherwise, how are you going to join it to a domain? :-) :-) as root: samedit -S . -U root% -l log [] createuser root -p rootpassword [] exit samedit -S thepdc

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites. when using domain user map, when logging in and then accessing the samba server, i re-enabled map_nt_and_unix_username() to allow the nt username to be remapped to the unix username / share. i think i also now have the GETDC request with enough correct rules in it to allow all the various spurious combinations to be supported. NT 5 wks now can

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirrors. due to some confusion about how to use samedit's createuser command, i put a warning / security message in whenever createuser hostname$ is used. it basically says, now you can join the workstation to the domain because you have just set the trust account to the insecure, well-known initial value, and you had best join the workstation to the

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and all mirror sites. plenty of alpha releases have got to be good for the soul. - fixed security = domain. i had some nice recursion problems, i love filling up my process table with samrd and lsarpcd calling each other (...only kidding). - fixed up netlogond so that pam_ntdom can contact it on a domain loopback _even_ for domain logons, and netlogond will

yes, there's a .gz, too. there's also always patch files (diff.gz) for those people with really slow links [in russia, hi there, thanks for wanting to keep up with this stuff!] this release may be a bit dodgy, it contains three separate sets of changes: - andrew's simplified the file-opening. however, it doesn't deal with the shared NFS / SMB case, so jeremy is investigating

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirrors went to minor release numbers on 2.4 because of instability. also, if you are running into problems at high debug log levels, try reducing them to more reasonable levels (between 5 and 10 or even just 1) and see if it works. i ran into timeouts because of too much debug output! andrew and i have been using insure (a proprietary, *excellent*

ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites 1) i fixed a problem with nmbd's GETDC response, it is responding better but still not perfectly (and 2.0.x and cvs main need to be fixed, as well) as there exists no explanation for the correct response to locate a Domain Controller using GETDC. the upshot of fixing this is that joining an nt workstation to a TNG domain is now _extremely_

ok, people, i _really_ need help with this. i estimate that if i work on this full-time it's going to take about... two weeks. i have one volunteer for the samr functions. it's been two days, already, and i'm only half-way through samr. that means, nothing else gets done, and samba-tng current cvs is broken because the _samr_lookup_rids() function goes into an infinite loop on that

when an nt 4.0 workstation or backup domain controller is joined to a domain, the trust account password is set to a well-known initial value. if you are concerned about internal network security, this is not really an acceptable risk: any captured network traffic can be decoded simply from knowing the name of the workstation, which is contained in the network traffic itself. the initial value

rpcclient sound cool. I am running 2.0.6 Samba. 'rpcclient' exists with it but a call to 'man rpcclient' gets no results. Could it be that the man pages are in a later release?

update: - fixed smbd for win95-style profile-locating (it now works, thank you to everyone who sent in log files to get this fixed) - various modes tested and confirmed as working: * ROLE_STANDALONE security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain master = no domain logons = no * ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain master = yes

recently, netect / bindview posted a review of the syskey system and how the RC4 cypher stream was reset each time. standard RC4 attack analysis shows that XORing two obfuscated passwords together results in the XOR cypher stream dropping out, and you have the two XORed password. further attack analysis can decrypt the passwords. i am looking to implement an equivalent mechanism to SYSKEY,

Greetings, Is there any way to get Samba to interact with MS-DOS? I am attempting to turn a Linux box into a VPN router for DOS clients. What I need to know is, can I get a CIFS protocol stack for MS-DOS, is a TCP/IP stack sufficient, are there any other solutions anyone knows about? Thank You.

It's weird to see money-grubbing on an open-source mailing list. -----Original Message----- From: Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton [mailto:lkcl@samba-tng.org] so you'll be putting some of the money that is earned from such recognition and increased reputation of samba my way, then, yes, to fund TNG development, yes, without which such an award would not have been possible at this time,

i've been examining the DCE/RPC over SMB Trans pipes, and i have to say that i'm quite impressed with the design: my compliments to the NT team. i find it quite an agreeable challenge working out the bits that are (and are not) decoded by NETMON.EXE. there are a couple of niggling things, about which absolutely nothing can be done, but i thought i'd mention them anyway: - the

Hi, well, I guess that this is something that I need to plan to do :-). I'm developing a plan for a group of updated docs for TNG (and Samba, compared to TNG). Quickly, you're asking for 1) A bulleted list? 2) A Kvivio flowchart? 3) Some other comparison? Could you tell me in general terms: do you need to "sell" TNG to the boss or something? I can't give it to you now.
