Hello I have this problem with printing to a HP Laser Jet 4L set up on my linux box which is the local samba server for the intranet. I can only print as root or as a user admin user = thatuser. I need to be able to set a password for the printer and only those users to use the printer who know the password. Or a similar solution. As ordinary user Windows98 says:

I have a Redhat 7.3 system running Samba server for Windows98 networked users. These users are registered users on the Linux box, using encrypted passwords mirrored in Samba's password list. These users need to have file ownership for existing and new files edited on their Windows PC's. To allow this, I've made the following mods: in etc/profile: umask 002 in each user's data

Hi All, Can somebody help me set this up. I'm trying to set up a public folder on my SAMBA server which will let my users create their own folders to store their files. And not let everyone delete them. Following are the problems I'm having: 1) If I set the directory rights to 755 on /exports and share the /exports/public directory with ~/public set to 755 Users can't create

G'day, I'm in the process of fixing a long broken rsync backup on a couple of servers. The old system rsync'd a Linux (CentOS 5) server onto a Opensolaris/OpenIndiana server but didn't worry about ownership or permissions, across an expensive WAN link. All the ownerships and permissions are different to the original box on the OI box. I now have a virtual CentOS 5 box that I

I've been at this for a few weeks, and have read quite a bit on the subject. I try to follow "Samba-3 by Example" as much as I can. I'll apologize in advance if my problems should be discussed elsewhere. Samba's involvement is integral, but I have no reason to suspect Samba is at fault. I'll start by describing what is working. DHCP and DNS look fine. Samba

Hi I have posted this message twice already I really need to know if this can be done with samba and winbind. Please can anyone help? I have a Redhat 8 server running samba 2.2.8a and have configured samba to use winbind so that I can control access to the samba file shares using user and group accounts that have been set up in our windows NT domain. This all works fine on the shares I set up

I'm having a problem with Roaming profiles in Windows XP with Samba as PDC. I've googled and trolled the mailing lists and read the Samba documentation. Problem: User logs onto domain from WinXP client and profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a long time and lights on hub are lit up). However, unless that user is in the admin group locally, all/some of the profile

Hi everyone, I have a Redhat 8 server running samba 2.2.8a and have configured samba to use winbind so that I can control access to the file shares using user and group accounts that have been set up in our windows NT domain. This all works fine on the shares I set up from within the smb.conf file. Windows 2000 users can access the shares just by logging into our domain. But what I would

Hello All, Could someone tell me why I can't see my linux box (nermal) in network neighborhood on my NT Workstation or 95/8 machines here is my smb.conf: #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] # netbios name = How machine will appear in network neighborhood netbios name = nermal # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg:

Running rsync 2.4.7pre1, using the --backup-dir option, I just realized today that file ownerships and permissions of backed up files are not preserved. In other words, if rsync moves an obsolete file to the backup dir, it's ownership seems to revert to root:root, and permissions change, as well. We are also using the -a (archive) option, by the way, which should mean "preserve

As I mentioned in a previous note, I'm a new Samba administrator. I'm trying to set up both roving profiles and system policies on the Win 95 machines in our computer lab here. I have used the policy editor (POLEDIT.EXE) to define a CONFIG.POL, which I have placed in the [netlogon] share. I also used a newly-installed Win 95 machine to create the exact *initial* configuration of desktop,

I am having a hell of a time getting a group of Samba servers working together as a domain. My desired setup is to have one Samba PDC (LION) in control of the ANIMALS domain and then have the other Samba file server (HYDRA) join ANIMALS. Simple enough. My smb.conf files are attached. I have added a HYDRA$ machine account to LION per the usual directions. I then follow the simple directions

Hello, I've got a samba/win98 problem. This occurs with samba 2.05a and slackware linux 7.0 and freebsd 3.4-release and samba 2.06. I've got two machines, one a pure 98 machine, the other split 50-50 linux and freebsd. All is looking well, samba is my local master, will always win elections etc. Both machines show up and all is good until I restart samba. At that point no matter which

I'm trying to setup a share on my samba server that will allow me to write to the disk on my windows 98 box. It seems quite simple but I get the access denied error messages whenever I try to create or write to the file. I created the disk on my samba server as a DOS 16 bit file system. Here is my smb.conf file: [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup =

Just setup Fedora 7, Samba is sharing files for Windows XP users, Samba is sharing printers too - the user's can add new printers to their XP machines, but when they try to print they get various messages, (Including no message at all) and no printouts. Remote printing can be done by a Mac, using lpr printing. Also local users can print using lpr. Have included my smb.conf file.

Hello! I work at a school in Norway, and am experimenting with a Linux box as a server for our Win95 network. Most things seem to work like they should, except one important thing: The user profiles are _only_ stored on the local machine... I am running Internet Explorer 4.01 with the Users function enabled. The network setup is as follows: Samba box as WINS server. "Log on to Windows NT
