Hi all, We are having some problems getting a solaris 9(sparc) file server running samba 2.2.2 to authenticate aginst a windows NT 4 PDC. Let me say first that this was all working at one time, then we had some data corrumption on our NFS mounted /usr/local, and had to restore from tape. Due to some issues with solaris ufsdump and ufsrestore, stuff was not quite put back properly. We do

I really think this is a Windows problem, but since my very good friend Bill refuses to return my calls ... The client is WinXP Professional The server is RedHat 7.1 with SAMBA 2.2.2-8 I have rtfm several times both the ENCRYPTION and PDC-Howto, and I think I have implemented all of the requisite registry and passwd/smbpasswd/smb.conf settings. The client will happily JOIN the domain, but my

what is the 'passwd chat' line for Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian Woody that enables password synchronisation with Windows 2000 clients in a domain? I currently have this in smb.conf but it doesn't work: unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n I get the Windows message

I'm running FreeBSD 4.4, with Samba 2.2.2 freshly installed, with the FreeBSD Ports package to install files in correct places. I've a Win2k system tring to join the domain "FREESIDE" It will authenticate ok from the win2k command line. "net use x: \\crypton\homes /USER:FREESIDE\jerry" It seems to work ok during the first part of joining a domain, i.e. password

Hi I have Win2k servers connecting to the samba server by mapping a windows user to unix user. We never had any problems with thsi connectivity but for past 2 weeks we have an erratic problem which causes the windows account to lock thus making samba unfunctional. When I get the windows account unlocked then samba starts functioning properly again. I do not have a scenario to reproduce the

I get next error while trying to join a Samba PDC: [2001/12/03 23:51:03, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:startsmbfilepwent(170) startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd.

I have gotten samba to allow an xp client to logon to the domain server before, my problem now is doing exactly that on a different machine. I can browse files, but I get an access is denied error upon join.

I've got 2.2.5 running on a test server (RH Linux 6.2), and I'm trying to get a Win2k box to join the domain, but I'm getting the following errors: (at log level 3) [2002/07/18 12:26:25, 2] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:startsmbfilepwent(170) startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /etc/smbpasswd.

A couple weeks ago I upgraded my servers from 3.0.14a to 3.0.24. My main server generally has about 800 to 1200 people connected to it at any given time. Its a Solaris 8/Sparc system, samba is configured as security = domain . Everything seems to be functioning fine, I haven't noticed any odd behavior, haven't had any complaints. But, a few weird errors have got me concerned. 1) I

I am looking to setup a domain server. I have tried and tried and this is the closest I have gotten so far. The main problem I have is in the user authentication. I am getting an error that the user or password is wrong. Currently it looks like Samba can not access the passwd file. What is this file? My log for the client give this error: [2003/06/05 15:35:35, 0]

I have a win2k domain ... 2 of the client machines are Red Hat (7.3 and 8.0). I set everything up to use the DC to authenticate ID/PW. Everything worked perfectly until a week or so ago ... Samba would automatically create a home folder and the whole nine yards. Now I can see the shares on the Samba machines, but I can't access them ... just prompts for the ID/PW over and over. I can mount

Hi all, I seem to be having some weird problems while trying to add a workstation to an existing domain. Samba 2.2.8a is running on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p17 and all the clients have Windows 2000 Professional with SP4 installed. This particular workstaion was part of the domain until its hard drive went under. The drive had to be replaced with a new one, the OS was installed and now when I try to

Dear Listmembers, I am using a SPARC ULTRA 60 / running SuSE sparc linux 7.3 as server for our M$-Network. I recently installed samba-2.2.8a from SuSE (compiled src-rpm), since then I am facing problems when attaching to the server for certain users given specific conditions. When saying reconnect at login, the reconnect at login fails, whereas the connect during normal operation (by using

Hi. Today we had a prob on one of our servers. Dunno if this is something new or has been there for long. The prob is that system logs has been filled with the same error message from samba (more than 25Gig of them): Jan 10 16:05:03 host smbd[2828042]: [2024/01/10 16:05:03.982719, 0, pid=2828042] ../../source3/passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:333(startsmbfilepwent) Jan 10 16:05:03 host smbd[2828042]:

Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

Hello! I have a samba fileserver (Debian Woody, Samba 2.2.3a) that I am trying to join into an NT domain (smbpasswd -j ...); the command says that it joined the domain successfully. Then I setup security=domain, workgroup name etc. as outlined in the samba howtos. However whenever I try to access a share on the Samba server I am prompted for a password (even though I already logged in through

I'm having problems accessing Samba shares from my XP Pro machine. Samba 2.2.7 is installed on two Redhat 8.0 machines and configured using SWAT. I have user level security and encrypted passwords setup. I have a printer shared on both servers as well as home directories and one restricted access share. My printers are setup for guest access so all machines will always be able to print.

Folks: I've got several systems attached to a 2003 domain where we use kerberos to authenticate. When I upgraded a system to the latest greatest samba things stopped working. Just to find where it happened in the different versions of samba I downloaded, built, & ran 3.0.23d to 3.0.25c using the same smb.conf file. Turns out the 2.0.23d and 3.0.24 works but from 3.0.25 on it fails.
