Hi.. I'm running Samba 2.0.7 on a RH 6.0 box... Now, this box is using NIS for authentication, such that I have no entry in the passwd file, but show up with a `ypcat passwd`. I have made a group called 'swat' and have added myself to it, such that doing a `groups wkim` lists swat as one of my groups. I then `chgrp swat smb.conf` and `chmod 664 smb.conf`. Yet, if I try to access

What's the deal with SWAT authentication? I have a Freebsd 4-Stable box running SWAT from the Samba 2.0.7 port and I can log into SWAT as a regular user (ie, not root but has a smbpasswd entry) and make any changes I want to the smb.conf file -- which is 0644 root.wheel. I'm presuming this is because my inetd.conf entry for SWAT has it running as root as per the example. Is this how

Hi, I'm using Samba 2.0.7 and I'm experimenting with shares at the moment. I created a share on my SuSE 6.4 box and accessed it from a Win2000 machine. Than I deleted this share entirely, and expected that I wouldn't be able to see it anymore from the win2000 box (after refreshing the view in windows explorer) but the opposite happened. What could be the explanation and the

I have a RH 6.0 server setup with accounts for about 1500 users (school), I use encrypted passwords. I would like users to be able to change their samba ('Windows networking') passwords and at the same time change their unix passwords (used for E-mail). I have the following in my smb.conf file as per the given example: unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd

Hello all, When I execute "smbclient -L SAZZLE -N", I get back a three part response: Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- software Disk Network Software Server Comment --------- ------- SAZZLE Samba PDC Server 2.0.3 CRACKLE FACULTY

Hello, I have this big problem which bothers me for past week(s). I have setup a simple samba network on win95 only net and it worked fine. This time I try to setup a samba on a network having win98 WinNT 4.0 sp4 and WinNT4.0 WS SP 5. I believe all machines are on the same local net. I have tried both samba 2.0.5a (RH6.1 default) as well as samba 2.0.7. I can use 'smbclient'

Hi group, I have a Linux server running 2.0.5a and setup as workgroup ADMIN. It's set to do domain logins, local, preferred and domain master are on and security is set to user level. We have the local workgroup ADMIN here on x.x.3.x subnet and on x.x.4.x there is an NT PDC that controls the MSHIP domain. The local 98 users login to ADMIN and can browse the servers across the subnet in

Greets, I have two samba servers setup on linux machines (Machine A, Machine B). I would like one (Machine A) to authenticate for itself and Machine B. So far, setting Machine B up as a client pointed to Machine A as a password server seems to work somewhat but Machine B still requires the uid/gid to exist locally in order to work properly. Is there a way around this? Regards, Deryk Robosson

Hello, I'm using samba 2.05a on my slackware linux box and have just noticed something very weird. When I copy a file via network neighborhood in 98 to my home directory on the linux box the file is converted to all uppercase. Under windows even though it isn't case sensitive the first letter of each word is capitalized, but when I look at the files under linux they're all in

can someone with more samba knowledge then me tell me what this means in my log file? [2000/06/28 16:37:31, 1] lib/util_sock.c:client_name(997) Gethostbyaddr failed for 192.168.0.1 It doesn't appear to be a problem with samba itself but rather the way I have my network setup? any help would be appreciated.. the reason being I am having random connection problems with my cleint windows2000

Hi, I was wondering if samba provides a means to start a programme on an NT server, specifically a service? This is equivalent to the 'net start' command, but I wish to start a service from my Linux server. Thanks Rob --

Hello, I'm using redhat linux 6.2, and freebsd 4.0-release, both of which are running samba 2.06. I'd like to sync up the nt and unix password files, I've added unix password sync = yes but that has no effect. Any ideas?

Hello, is there a way to keep my (fine running, yes!!) samba machines out of our browse list? I know you people have been working hard to get it going, but our policy is that NO machine should be seen just by clicking into "Netzwerkumgebung" as German NT calls it... NT has a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\hidden=1 for this

Hello, we use the SGID bit on Solaris for directories to force setting the given group from the directories above (not the primary group). If we create directories with Samba 2.0.7, the SGID bit will not set on the new directory. With Samba 2.0.6 and below all worked fine. Is there a work around or a bug fix available? Thx Sincerly yours Jochen Duemmel PS: we use Samba for a server

Hi I'am standing hopeless in the desert. I spent a long time to run the move of your windows nt shit to windows 2000. On microsofts side all worked fine.

I am currently using samba 2.0.5a as a file server on Redhat 6.1 with a NT controlled domain. I am trying to use the NT server manager to look at the shared directories on the samba server and the RPC call is failing. I have tried various smb.conf implementations with different security levels, protocols and announce as, but it never succeeds. I have also tried the 2.0.7 release with basically

Greetings. Is there a quick and easy way to find out what the %a substitution string returns for a given computer? We were having some problems that I though might be due to it, and I'd like to know how to find out if it is the problem. I tried putting it in the server string, but looking at it in network neighborhood always gives me "UNKNOWN". The computers I tried looking

Hi, I wonder if you could tell me or point me in the direction of a document that would explain the differences between user level and share level security and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each one. Especially reasons for using user mode over share mode. Thanks for your help, Tim James.
