I have a Samba 2.2.0 PDC set up running Linux and I have a Windows 2000 client computer. The Win2k computer can join the domain, but no one can log in. Everytime I try to logon with the Win2k computer, it says that the account is disabled. I can use the account to browse shares and mount the home directory from the PDC. I have added the account to a group on the Win2k computer. I found the

Hello all, I used to have share modes = no on all my application shares as they were accessed for read-only. I particularly put this on my netlogon share after someone got an exclusive lock on part of the login script! I find with 2.2.2 that share modes is no longer allowed and I get smbstatus lock entries for loads of application stuff which people should be locking. What is the 2.2.2

Hello all, I'm currently trying out samba-3.0alpha24 and moving to samba-3.0.0beta1 since we're getting into XP and encrypted passwords etc. I was hoping to set everyone (about 13,000 users) up on an LDAP (openLDAP) server with just the Unix crypt passwords for now and run with encrypt passwords = no update encrypted = yes for a while to populate the NT/LM password hashes before

Hi, I have just upgraded a server from Samba 2 to Samba 3 and some of the Windows clients are taking a long time to authenticate shares (1 or 2 minutes). Eventually the username/password box appears and then when you enter a correct password, all is fine - it is just the initial authentication. This is a simple UNIX password Samba server (with NIS) and I have set it to not use encrypted

Hi there I'm running a samba cvs server in a windows domain with a W2K PDC. I want to authenticate windows users through ssh.

Hello, I just wasted several hours trying to figure out why I could not change Samba passwords from Windows XP computers. I'm posting here so that there is some form of documentation about this on the web. My setup is basically this: - Samba 3.3.2 (running under Ubuntu 9.04) - OpenLDAP user database - Full O.S. support for OpenLDAP auth, using nsswitch and PAM. (My client

The winbind now works...my getent passwd & groups returns the domain users/groups What should be the next step? my clients (Win2K & Win9x) are still prompting for a password and I cannot login to my linux box using DOMAIN*domainuser.

Hello everyone! After running Samba on several machines for some years, I just came accross a rather strange problem. The short story is that the special user home shares are readable, but not writeable. Here's the long story: The system is a freshly set-up Debian Squeeze, right out of the box. This is the Samba config: -------------------------------- 8<

Hi all, I'm having a problem with an upgrade of Samba running on a Redhat4 Update 4 system. The default installation provides only 3.0.10 which doesn't include the privilege model or a number of fixes including some in 3.0.21a and 3.0.23 which it looks like we'll need.

I tried upgrading from samba 1.9 to 2.0 on two seperate RedHat servers, and after both upgrades nobody could get authenticated. The windows boxes had the registry hacks to turn off encrypted passwords, and I'm authenticating out of passwd+shadow. I found many similiar posts on DejaNews and in the samba mailing list archives.
