Hi, > I want a shared directory to be visible only to the members of a group, and > to no one else. Instead, a shared directory is either visible to everyone I tried to realize this by using include like: #include smb.conf.%G But it did not work correctly.

I have a problem of shares that "disappear" or are inaccessible. This only happens with Win2k and only for some users. My Samba is version 2.2.2 running on Solaris 2.6. Here's the sequence: 1) The user logs into PC (not using PDC). 2) He connects to Samba server via "Run..." and typing \\spike. 3) The user is prompted for "connect as" and "password".

Does anyone have any idea how Solaris PC-Netlink compares to Samba? It seems to support ACLs (does Samba?) Also, how do they both do on the subject of being a domain controller? What I am looking for is ACL support (I am getting tired of making every possible combination of groups to deal with user needs). I also want LDAP support whereby changing the passwd from an NT system changes both the

We're running Samba 2.0.6 on AIX 4.3.2.0 Is there a home page for SWAT or somewhere else that I can look to see what smb.conf parameters SWAT supports? I prefer editing the smb.conf file with vi, but some of the administrators here like to use SWAT. A while back, I put an include line into the smb.conf file to get around differences between our WinNT and Win95/98 machines. A couple

If I want to make two servers use the same encrypted passwords can I share the smbpasswd file via NFS? Will updates/locking work correctly? Is there an alternative?

Is there any way to prevent users from mapping drive letters to Samba shares? We are constantly getting user problems like: "I can't find my files on my F: drive. Please restore it". They expect us to know where their F: drive was mapped. We try to show users how to use UNCs and shortcuts, but I would like to prevent mapped drives. There is another reason to prevent them:

Hello All: I have a Samba server (running 3.0.11) that uses an LDAP SAM for authentication. We now have AD (native mode) running in house. Since everyone has a login there, I would like to use the AD credentials for authentication. However, I would like to continue to use the Unix user ids and group ids, etc. All the documentation for AD authentication talks about ID mapping, etc. I don't

I am trying to upgrade a samba installation from 2.2.7 to 3.0.9 and I have statements like: include = /etc/samba/special/%U This works fine with 2.2.7, but fails with 3.0.[4679]. When I first connect I see the user-specific shares defined in the config file. However, if I try to access it, I get an error: \\carp\sharename The network name cannot be found. If I browse into

Hi: I am haviong problems with Landscape mode on our HP printers (many models). I am running 2.2.7a on two different servers. One is using the "old style" printing (using "printer driver file" parameter). The other is using the newer printing system. It is the same code on both. Both are Solaris systems. For the old one, the drivers are installed on the client, for the

I am trying to run multiple instances of samba on the same unix host. This is being done so that I can functionally breakdown the usage into, for example, a "finance" server and an "engineering" server. This is not based upon the client or the user, but based upon the virtual server. My first attempts were a real problem in that, though the config file could be specified on

Hello, I am running Samba 3.0.2 with Cups support. Recently I set this up on a new server, shut down the old Samba 2.* server, changed the name and brought up the new server as our new print server. Everyone automatically had all their drivers "upgraded", even when they previously had special local drivers installed. They did not need to delete and re-double-click the printer icon on

I think pam_smbpass it is not initializing all the parameters from smb.conf. This exhibits itself as "Cannot access samba password database" messages in the syslog. I ran my test code using "truss" and there are some interesting open() calls: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20247: open64("/secrets.tdb", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600)

I can't get "security = domain" to work. Environment: Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 2.6 and 8 I have a Samba PDC setup. I can get my Win2k desktops to login and access the PDC just fine.

I am trying to get a Samba PDC and a Samba member server to work together. I can't. The documentation describes how to make a Samba PDC work. I got that working. My Win2k desktop can join just fine. The documentation describes how to make a Samba server be a member of an NT domain. It does not tell how to make Samba trust Samba. That's my problem. I have the PDC setup to

I have Samba running without a PDC and I have some questions about the advantages for implementing one with Samba vs. the problems and disadvantages. Perhaps some kind souls can help me determine whether I should do this or not. We have three offices connected by a Checkpoint VPN, plus people "on the road" using their SecureClient tool. We want everyone to be able to get to all the

I am trying to switch over to the new "style" of printing, but when I do, I loose the ability to print duplex. I have two servers. The old one (spike) is setup as a file server, etc. and the print services date back to the early 2.0 days. It is currently running 2.2.2 with the original printer setup. The printing works ok with this server. People can print using features of the
