I set up winbind on one box successfully. Now a friend told me that it might be better to use ActiveDirectoriy (the PDC and all other servers are win2000). What is the difference in both approaches? which is 'better'? I feel that ldap is the more general and cleaner solution. Is that true? My windows-admins will get rid of wins soon. does winbind rely on wins? can libnss-ldap also create

Suddenly my samba printers ceased working. Trying to print 'manually' through smbclient yields this: smbclient \\\\host\\pcprinter -P -N -U guest Added interface ip=xxx.xyz.yy.zzz bcast=xxx.xyz.yy.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[IPHY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.1a] smb: \> print /etc/printcap putting file /etc/printcap as printcap-2385 Error writing file: ERRHRD - 39 (0 kb/s)

I don't know if samba will allow this but. I want to set user permissions on directories and files using the accesslist in the properties menu under Windows NT. I don't know if this is possible with Samba. I read something about ACL support but I can't seem to be able to compile it into samba. ./configure --with-acl-support Not sure if the string is correct. Any pointers would be

Hello all, Either the docs or the value in smb.conf.default is wrong. (Or at least confusing).

How does samba handle NT usernames that contains spaces. Also NT can have long usernames while Linux can only have 8-10 character long usernames. Is there anyway you can map those long usernames to Linux? Thanks MattB

Hey, Would anyone be able to point me to info on ACL_REVISION3 specifications? My lowly MSDN and SDK seem to only know about ACL_REVISION2. A file on Win 2000 share has revision 2, same file copied to samba share has revision 3. Context: I am looking at the security descriptor for files under Windows 2000.

Is there a way to get information on a print job from the command line? For example: > smb_print_query smbprn.00002.a12345 jobid = pr1000-555 filename = Notepad - sample.txt owner = dan_thibadeau machine = mylaptop size = 1234 bytes or something like that? Thanks, Dan Thibadeau

Dear all, as you already know, it is possible to send short winpopup messages to Win boxes using the command smbclient -M host. If a Win user wants to reply, it should be possible to use the Windows' WinPopUp GUI to reply, but the message gets lost somewhere. For example: smbclient -M winbox Added interface ip=192.1.1.125 bcast=192.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Connected. Type your message,

Recently, a problem developed in storing IE5's Temporary Internet Files on our samba exported network scratch space. In tracking it down, I found that the Win2k client attempts to set the ACL of the file "Content.IE5/index.dat". However, the this call ends up setting the mode of index.dat to 0407 (-r-----rwx), thus making the file unmodifiable to the user who created it. (This in

I am running Samba with Winbind to authenticate against an NT 4.0 domain. Everything appears to be working fine. Problem is when I do response time comparison between file services on NT vs Samba, NT is twice as fast. The testing was a simple program that created 200 directories then deleted them, copied a 145 meg file then deleted it and then copied 779 files and then deleted them. Timestamps

Hail SAMBA folks, I'm having a little difficulty trying to share files and directories that contain a colon in the filename. With a fairly simple configuration, everything works as expected sans the colon problem. On the client end (in my case, Windows 2000 SP2) I get somewhat unpredictable behaviour. In every case the file (or directory) name gets mangled in an unfriendly way. For

The installation of the eFax veiwer worked fine. No glitches. But when running the eFaxViewer it allows me to open the document and it displays it. But after a minute or so my xterm window get filled with the message err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 0207 for 20 bytes err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000 And the only way to stops this is to open up a new xterm and kill

I know in some ways the answer is RTFM, but I'm not even sure which docs to read or where they are. I've posted about my printing problem before (Win2k SP2 won't print to my Linux server printer), and even though I've had some suggestions, nothing has worked (after a solid week of trying combinations in smb.conf, I'm close to having to drop Linux and go to a complete

I keep getting "Windows cannot copy file \\ssp1\profiles ... to C:\Documents And Settings\..." when trying to log into a Samba PDC using a Windows 2000 SP2 client.
