Hello list members, I'm slightly confused as to the status of the samba project(s), and was wondering if someone here could give an authoritative answer to what the situation is. Is it correct that the current latest stable version 2.0.7 is being developed into 2.2 by a continuation of the "original" team? And samba TNG is working on a different approach which will be version

Is there anyway to expire password for windows clients with a Samba (in my case recent alpha version)? I found a post the TNG parameter "password expire time = 10" but a "strings smbd | grep expire" didn't turn in up in the binary. Anyone have any ideas if this is possble (I see it posted frequently to the archives, but no answers). Systems and Network Administrator

After reading through the Samba 2.2 PDC Howto, I have a couple questions: 1) In Chapter 3. User and Machine Accounts: Is this section out of date? If so, what is the status of machine and user accounts? Do we still need to follow the instructions here for "add user script" entries, etc? 2) In the old (Sept. version) of samba-tng, there was an option to specify "local"

Hello everybody, Is it possible to use ACL with Samba 2.0.7 ? Thanks

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 --

Dear all, This is an embedded firmware engineer Honey from China, and I am studying the samba and samba-tng, because the size of samba is too large to my development. I want to port the samba-tng to embedded ARM Linux system, use the kernel version is 2.6.35, but I found the samba-tng can't be compiled by cross compiler(arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc). And I can't

Hi, I posted this problem before in more detail (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=104756899022766&w=2) but received no response. At the current state of Smaba 3.0 and Samba-TNG these two seem to be incomaptible. Samba 3.0 can't join a TNG controlled domain. I think this should affect a lot of installations as TNG as a controller and "stable" as file/printserver seem

OK: First, please respond to me directly, as I'm not on the TNG list. Here's the situation: I will be setting up a "computer lab" for 30-40 PC's with various users (students). Here are my needs: 1) One Touch (point) User administration (the simpler the better) 2) Simplest set of LINUX SW possible 3) NO NT PDC 4) All clients are W2K. 5) Want

Hello, We recently undertook to migrate our domain from samba-TNG to samba-2.2.2. However, it did not go smoothly. One of the main reasons is that even if you start 2.2.2 with the domain SID from the TNG installation, you find that the users' RIDs are different. This is because samba-TNG calculates the RID from the unix UID using the formula UID*4 + 1000 where as 2.2.2 uses UID*2 +1000. At

Dear list I haven't been able to track down the cause of the following problems and hope someone can shed some light... We have been running samba-tng successfully on our school FreeBSD 4.5RELENG server for 18 months or so, but now need the facility of downloadable printer drivers for our W2k clients. I have installed samba 2.2.7a alongside our running samba-tng (2.6.1cvs) in a dual head

Would like to know if it is possible to switch to the latest production release of samba (2.2.3a) from samba-tng 2.6alpha and maintain the same configuration, password, mapping files, security identifiers, etc as tng. If not how would I convert my setup from tng to main with minimal effort? thank you __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Got something to say? Say

Hello, I've got a potentially major problem: I've recently changed from samba-TNG (vintage last February) which was working tolerably well in our environment barring a few locking problems and the ever increasing tdb files and memory footprint. As our number of clients has passed 150, the amount of memory used on our Solaris server became unsustainable and I took the decision to migrate

Dear Sir I been reading through your (?) samba-doc folder on Debian 2.2. The document DOMAIN-CONTROL.txt is dated 1996 and updated 1998. It mentions that SAMBA cannot be a PDC. This is not the case anymore isn't it? Thank you Warwick Chapman (Glenwood 1999) http://www.boatrace.co.za Assistant IT Manager Glenwood High School, Durban, South Africa 031 2055241 083 7797094

For help, type NET USE /? at the command prompt. Yet running the same script one the machine as soon after login as possible results in he

Hello! I have a query regarding the use of "encrypt passwords = yes" and is wondering if anyone can help me with it. If I recall correctly, when using "encrypt passwords = no" , Samba will lookup the username/password via the UNIX /etc/passwd file or equivalent. And as the password can have mixed-case passwords, the "password level = x" parameter is used to

Hi list, as a result of horrible error logs and no sleep I would be able to throw my smb2.2.4 out of the window and take a phone call to dell for a nt box ... but I'll try once again. I know, this is the wrong list, but maybe here I get more Developers. My simple question is: If my PDC (WinS -> named, system is SuSE 7.3 but newest versions of all relevant software) won't run as smooth

Hello, I am trying to migrate an NT domain from an NT PDC to a samba3.0 PDC without disrupting users or requiring them to change passwords, etc. The complication is that there are NT fileservers in the domain already, so it's important that the users be transferred to the samba machine with SID's and RID's intact (so they can access these shares with the same permissions).

I am having a problem with the Samba server that I run. Simply, new users added to the system cannot log on to the PC's that are controlled from the Samba server's domain. Users that are already on the system and have been working for some time seem to be unaffected. I suspect that the problem may well be related to the 'minor' problem we experienced with the server the other

Hello, I have inherited a samba-tng PDC (without ldap) that I am to upgrade to samba 3. My first attempt failed miserably. I copied over the smbpasswd and the domain SID, users were able to log in, but most were not able to load their profiles. I think I have to copy over machine IDs, but I'm not sure how to proceed. The migration section of the the howto doesn't seem to apply to
