Ok, here's a simple question, (I just rejoined this list so apologies if it has been asked a million times before). Our Company runs SAMBA 1.9-18p1 from a USS (Unix System Services) on an IBM Mainframe. I used to have WinNT 4.0, and I could access Files on Windows Explorer through SAMBA with no problems. Now I updated one of my workstations to WinXP Pro., and - no access to the Samba

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? Can LDAP/PAM use encrypted passwords? -- Gary Algier, WB2FWZ gaa@@ulticom.com +1 856 787 2758 Ulticom Inc., 1020 Briggs Rd, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054 Fax:+1 856 866 2033 A self-addressed envelope

Hi, My name is Tom Faulhaber. I am the network administrator at a small company in Providence,RI. I am running Samba 2.2.2 on a Redhat 6.1 machine on a Novell 4.21 network. The workstations are Win98SE. The Linux box is being used for the company intranet (Apache 1.3.22). Everything runs fine, however I am completely stumped on one issue (so far). That issue is: network connectivity. If I

Greetings, I was reading over the documentation online for using SAMBA as a PDC, and in the section about creating machine trust accounts is talks about having to add machine accounts to the /etc/passwd file. The text also mentions that future versions of SAMBA will remove this requirement: "Because Samba requires machine accounts to possess a UNIX uid from which an Windows NT SID can

Hi, I was using samba 2.0.7 veersion for a while without any problem. This morning, suddenly, many windows (nt/98) cannot connect the samba server on our Linux (RedHat 6.2) server. Then, I downloaded the version 2.2.4, extracted, configure it, make, make install according to the document. Then I test it by running ./testparm it lists all of shared folders. Then, I run ./smbclient -L

Hi everybody, I posted the following on 'comp.protocols.smb' newsgroup but got no answer. I'm now trying this way. On one side, I have a Solaris 7 box running Samba 2.2.0 and on the other, a W2K machine sharing to everyone in full access mode the contents of its C:\Public directory. Is there a way to run a UNIX script or command on this Windows share? I tried using

OK, so I looked through all the archives and still can't find a solution. My server is running RedHat 7.2 with all the latest patches, Samba is also latest 2.2.3a with domain masters set as "yes" and passwords NOT set as encrypt, because when I do turn it on, none of the Win98 boxes can log on (even when I tried to create non-blank password account). All Win98 boxes login

Is it possible to have the users password on the Unix end to be different to that of the Windows client user. Example: I have a Windows 2000 user who logs onto his PC as "fredblogs" with a password of "password1". On the Unix Samba end I have the user "fredblogs" setup with a password of "password2". I am then unable to access the Unix server, if I reset

Hi, I would like to ask, will the roaming profile directory in C:\Documents and Settings\username, will be deleted once the user logs out? Mine isn't. I'm worried that, for a thousand users, one workstation would have a thousand directories? I believe those are not local profiles, since it is saved into the server every time the user logs out.

I want my Windows account to interact with my Linux user account. My usernames on both machines used to be the same, but now corporate is changing our name format (oh boy!). Now that the usernames no longer sync, Samba is refusing me access to my Linux box. When I check the logs, it claims that it can't find my new Windows username in the UNIX passwddb. When I manually add my new Windows

Greetings ... In the smbpasswd file, does the uid, uid number and password have to match the Linux equivalint? The reason I ask, is that I am hoping that I can have a different password for Samba and Linux, because I don't wish to give out my root password for domain joining. I once tried to setup a admin account with the same uid number as root but with a different password and

ive got several hundred user accounts in NIS that i need to get into the smbpasswd file. since samba doesn't actually use NIS, but can only be in sync with it, what is the best way to get all these passwords into smbpaswd? I'd hate to have to have all users re-enter their passwords... anyone done this before? thanks in advance, alex ---

Hello, this is my first time writing to this mailing list. The language which is spoken in the list is english? I'm german. So please correct me. I try to install Samba 2.2.2 on a Linux Mandrake8 machine. Compiling the source and installing it worked well. at the moment the file smbpasswd is missing. How can I create this file? Shouldn't the install routine create that file? Thanks for

if I set "inherit permissions = Yes" on my share, samba shuld set permisions for new files like uper directory - true? I'am asking because, I've set this parameter and nothing is going good. When I make new file in this share the groupID is set to user groupID whose create this file, but not the guid of the uper directory. The userID is set corectly. smb.conf: .... [test]

I'm trying to run Samba on a gigabit network. On the server side I've got Samba 2.2.1 running on an sgi Origin200 with a gigabit ethernet card plugged into a gigabit switch, and the files are being served off a fibrechannel raid array. On the client side I have a windows 2k box with a gigabit card plugged into the same switch. Both machines and the switch claim that everything is

Hi! The problem is that W98 doesn't ask user for username when connecting to SMB-share. This is not a problem when sharing between W98-computers, since those only require password for connecting - username is not taken into account. Problems start when connecting to NT/Samba-servers, which only seem to support two options: - username and password - no username, no password (guest) I have
