similar to: msdfs

I've set up a dfs share according to instructions. There is one part of the instructions that I don't understand. I've checked the forum archives but can't find any examples which might help. In the Instructions section (4.1 of the HTML Samba Project Documentation), is shows how to set up the symbolic links in a DFS share, as shown below. I have 2 Samba servers (SMB1 and SMB2).

We did some tests with msdfs on HP/UX with samba version 2.2.1.a and we found a strange problem. We create a msdfs root on a HP/UX system with samba version 2.2.1.a and create a link in it to an HP/UX system with samba version 2.0.7. We mapped the link in the msdfs root on a NT4 system to drive F. The share contains the source of samba and in explorer we went to :

We are running samba on a number of HP systems running HP/UX 11.00. We moved from samba version 2.0.7. to samba version 2.2.3a. We have about 200-400 smbd's running on one host. Samba version 2.2.3a was running without any problems for about two weeks. But now on two different servers indepent of each other, the file table was full. We found out that ONE smbd used about 5000 !!

Hi Harry, sadmin and tadmin are both admin logins. I was trying to domain join with both. sadmin is in ldap The olcdbindex.ldif gave this error SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 modifying entry "olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config" ldap_modify: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80) additional

For some reason, I'm unable to transfer *sometimes*, *some* files from a Windows server running rsyncd. 1. First, a try that succeeds - I want to copy "backup" directory, which is in "share": $ rsync --partial --dry-run -a -v --progress rsync://user@server/share/backup /tmp Password: receiving file list ... 30 files to consider backup/ backup/acls-c.bat.txt

We are running samba 2.2.3a ( for about 3000 users ) on HP/UX 11.11 fileservers.

Hi Harry, When I install slapd , I didn't get the option to use MDB, so used hdb I went through your suggestions and cleaned up the smb.conf. Also added the unixidpool ldif dn: sambaDomainName=mydomain,dc=mydomain sambaDomainName: mydomain sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3936576374-1604348213-1812434911 sambaAlgorithmicRidBase: 1000 objectClass: sambaDomain objectClass: sambaUnixIdPool

Yes please for the notes. I re-ran the tests without the smbldap-tools. I installed phpldapadmin and am able to login to the apache page using the cn=admin, dn=mydomain and create entries. This kind of tells me that LDAP is working Then I run the pdbedit -Lv and it lists all the users. The following happens when I add the LDAP bits to smb.conf and restart samba.The issue seems to be with samba

Hi Gruss, At this stage there is only one server, running 3.6.25 on Ubuntu12.04. The plan to get LDAP to work on this one. Then add the second server 4.x and the promote it to BDC and then demote this one. Just a side info, we didn't want to go tdbsam in both as I read it breaks the domain trust. The domain names are real ones. I ran the commands you suggested, nothing in reply. I tried

Why is that when you create a share, the default is 'msdfs root = yes'? Also, why is that a share that is set 'msdfs root = yes' -- or, rather, a share that does /not/ set 'msdfs root = no' -- advertises that it is a DFS root to the Linux CIFS client, /even /when 'host msdfs = no'? This sounds like A) a bug (ignoring 'host msdfs', and B) a misfeature (msdfs

Hello, i got a msdfs share running and now i want to hide folders from users who got no access to them anyway. For example: List of shares: test1 test2 User sees only: test1 Is something like that possible mit samba itself or does someone know a workaround to get it running like that ? Thanks for any ideas.

Hi, I'm new on Samba... I'm trying to set a samba server with a DFS share. I have found this example: # The smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = SAMBA host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /export/dfsroot msdfs root = yes then I must create some link into /export/dfsroot: root# cd /export/dfsroot root# chown root /export/dfsroot root# chmod 755 /export/dfsroot root# ln -s

Hi List, I am struggling a little bit with the msdfs proxy parameter. I want the samba server as a kind of a bridge between two networks, that the samba server only shares some of the shares provided by our file server to a second network. I don't want the samba srv to be a gw or give the clients a route to the internal network, because it is a total different user group. I first tried to

Hello, everyone, I'm seeing some inconsistent behavior across SMB clients when configuring shares using the "msdfs proxy" parameter, and was hoping to get some advice from the community on this. My issue is that various SMB clients seem to behave differently when this parameter is pointed as a path that includes a sub-folder under the root share. So, given the following share

Hi, After some experiment with MSDFS on Samba I have seen this problems and I don't know if this are caused by my possible wrong configuration or if are "feature" of MSDFS: -as described into the documentation I compiled a Samba version with --with-msdfs and this smb.conf (server 172.26.11.236). The configuration file is: [Global] host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /mnt/disk

Hello list, we have two samba servers on two localities with bigger distance between them. On both localities there are organizational staff working. And I am trying to configure homedirectories for all of staff in this way: - all users will have same beginning part of URL path where is their homedir located (i.e. \\files.example.com\loginname) for unification and central acces - but because
