Hello, I have defined 20.000 users on a Samba-server. The samba-server takes care of domain logons. When several users try to authenticate at THE SAME time the server can't follow: only the first users can succesfully logon. When they don't logon simultaneously there's no problem. For example: 20 users log on at exactly the same time. This situation occurs in our pc-rooms when

Hello, I had a similar problem with login scripts. I tracked the problem down to any entries in the login script which change directory. Taking 'cd' out of the login script solved the problem. Looking at M$ technet confirmed that this was a problem with Windows. I hope this helps. Regards, Dave -----Original Message----- From: Werner Maes [mailto:werner.maes@cc.kuleuven.ac.be] Sent: 02

Hello, Can anyone give me arguments that could convince someone to choose for Samba for file and print sharing instead of setting up a NT-server? Performance ? Stability ? Benchmarks ? Tests that someone has done? Things like: "It's free" or "You don't need a powerful machine" are irrelevant to our administrators. I'm looking for answers on questions like:

Hello, I think (in fact I'm quite sure) I have found the following bug in Swat. In my configuration I use the global option "invalid users=@class". When I set this option using SWAT, all works fine after "commit changes". Users who belong to the "class" group cannot access the server. But when I erase this value using SWAT and do "commit changes",

This (see below) is what I found in the Samba Introduction Document. Can anyone tell me where I can find the Ziff-Davis benchmark tests? Thanks a lot, Werner Maes KULeuven "The Present Samba 2.0 was released in January 1999. One of the most significant and cool features of the 2.0 release was improved speed. Ziff-Davis Publishing used their Netbench software to benchmark Samba 2.0 on

Hello, I wanted to let you know that I'm able to succesfully work with 20000 users and several concurrent logon sessions. Instead of using /etc/smbpasswd or /etc/passwd, I chose to use /var/db/password.db. I created this file using the makefile which is located in the /var/db directory. I suppose this is an indexed version of /etc/passwd and works a lot faster than the regular flat file. Also

Hello all, I receive some errors which I cannot explain : Hopefully there's someone who can help me.

Hello, Concerning the upcoming 2.2.3 release of Samba with LDAP support. Question 1: Is it possible that you define multiple ldap servers in the option "ldap server ="? In the event that one LDAP server is down, the next LDAP server defined can take over. If not, no authentication is possible if the LDAP server is not available? Question 2: Is there any fallback possible to a

Hello, I need an answer to the following problem: I have a Samba server with domain logons enabled and with encrypt passwords=no. So I don't use the smbpasswd file, only the Unix password files. When I try to logon with a Win95 client (client for Microsoft Networks, logging on to a domain), people with mixed-case passwords cannot logon to the Samba logon server. Those with a password in

hello I've been reading the thread (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113286376900001&r=1&w=2) and I have the same limitation with WINS in a PDC/BDC. That's why I have the following (experimental) setup: PDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: master ldap BDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: slave ldap I configured some of my XP clients to use both WINS servers

Hello, Im using Samba and LDAP together and if I use the scriptPath attribute for a user defined in LDAP, it seems that variable substitions no longer work like they did when you're using the global logon script parameter in smb.conf. example: scriptPath = scripts\%m.bat ==> %m.bat is NOT substituted to machinename.bat Because the "logon scripts" directive of smb.conf will

Hello, When I open a text file on a Samba fileserver using LDAP for authentication, Samba always makes these LDAP calls (see below).
