Hello, We recently undertook to migrate our domain from samba-TNG to samba-2.2.2. However, it did not go smoothly. One of the main reasons is that even if you start 2.2.2 with the domain SID from the TNG installation, you find that the users' RIDs are different. This is because samba-TNG calculates the RID from the unix UID using the formula UID*4 + 1000 where as 2.2.2 uses UID*2 +1000. At

Hello, Has anyone got netgroups working with Samba 3.0.14a where the netgroups are stored in the LDAP directory? I'm using Solaris 9 and SUN's directory server v5.2. What I'm seeing is that samba goes through the motions of looking up a host in a netgroup, but no query is seen by the LDAP server or on the network and the host is never found in the netgroup. Any help would be

Hello, We have just migrated a server from sun solaris 8 to sun solaris 10. In the old machine we had a Samba 3.0.20b and in the new one, we have samba 3.0.21, both compiled like this with no problems: env LD_FLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure --with-ldapsam --without-pam --with-quotas --with-ldap --with-included-popt --with-acl-support --with-libsmbclient We share user's

Hello, Environment: Samba-3.0.23c on Solaris 9 using LDAP (Sun DS 5.2) I'm trying to follow the procedure in the Samba 3 HOWTO in Chapter 21 to install printer drivers to the print$ share on the samba server. I've got as far as extracting the drivers from a Windows machine and am trying to register them with Samba using the rpcclient adddriver command. The command I'm using:

With all this DMCA crud, is samba a target for a IP case from MS Jason Adams

I have upgraded our sun server from samba 3.0.20b to version 3.2.4. If I type "smb -V" on the sun, I get the proper version number of "Version 3.2.4". When I map a network drive from my PC to a share named "home1" on the sun, the PC mount point is named "home1 on 'Samba 3.0.20b (server)'. I have unmapped all drives and re-mapped them with the same result.

Hello, I may be missing something, but it seems that there has been a change between 3.0.14a and 3.0.20 which means that a user's primary UNIX group HAS to be mapped to a valid NT group (i.e. the primary UNIX group in the LDAP DB has to have the sambagroupmapping attribute and a SID). Can anyone confirm this as a new requirement or am I being a bit stupid? I'm using an LDAP backend with

Hello, When attempting to build samba-4.0.0beta2 on Solaris 10 update 9, the following error is produced: [ 530/3371] Compiling lib/tdb/test/external-agent.c ../lib/tdb/test/external-agent.c:7:17: error: err.h: No such file or directory Waf: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/samba-4.0.0beta2/bin' Build failed: -> task failed (err #1): {task: cc external-agent.c ->

Hi, is there a HOWTO about migrating from Samba TNG to Samba 2.2? I have problems with the user profiles on the Windows client machines, they are recreated on login on the new Samba (2.2.5) machine. I copied the SID (with smbpasswd), /etc/passwd and smbpasswd to the new machine, and everything works fine, except for the user profiles. Currently we are not using server-saved profile, but we will

Hello, I am trying to migrate an NT domain from an NT PDC to a samba3.0 PDC without disrupting users or requiring them to change passwords, etc. The complication is that there are NT fileservers in the domain already, so it's important that the users be transferred to the samba machine with SID's and RID's intact (so they can access these shares with the same permissions).

Has the driver for this printer been installed on the samba server? If it has, it may have to be reinstalled. If the 4550 can't be installed on the server, you can create a printer share for [picasso] and use: use client driver = yes path = /var/spool/public create mode = 0700 printable = yes public = yes browseable = yes Then the Win2k/XP clients will install the driver locally,

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating from Samba 2.2.8a to 3.0.14a and also changing from NIS to LDAP. I've installed and populated SUN's Directory Server v5.2 and added the required schema extensions and imported some accounts for testing with Samba. Previously I used a NIS netgroup in the hosts allow clause, of the form @hosts_smb and this worked when the samba server system was

Hello, Samba version 3.0.23c on Solaris 9. I can't seem to register printer driver files with samba using rpcclient. The problem is that NEWLINEs are not escaped, so I can't specify all the files I need to for a particular printer. Also, I can't use a Windows box with the add printer wizard as the printer insists on using it's own installer. In essence this is a bug, either

Hello, My environment is Solaris 10 with samba 3.3.5 compiled with gcc 4.1 using OpenLDAP libraries 2.4. I use netgroups in the allow hosts directive to enable access to my samba server. This worked in our production version of samba (3.0.28c) but does not in 3.3.5. I've done some debugging and it seems the problem occurs in get_peer_name in lib/util_sock.c This routine always returns

Dear all, This is an embedded firmware engineer Honey from China, and I am studying the samba and samba-tng, because the size of samba is too large to my development. I want to port the samba-tng to embedded ARM Linux system, use the kernel version is 2.6.35, but I found the samba-tng can't be compiled by cross compiler(arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc). And I can't

Hi, I posted this problem before in more detail (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=104756899022766&w=2) but received no response. At the current state of Smaba 3.0 and Samba-TNG these two seem to be incomaptible. Samba 3.0 can't join a TNG controlled domain. I think this should affect a lot of installations as TNG as a controller and "stable" as file/printserver seem

OK: First, please respond to me directly, as I'm not on the TNG list. Here's the situation: I will be setting up a "computer lab" for 30-40 PC's with various users (students). Here are my needs: 1) One Touch (point) User administration (the simpler the better) 2) Simplest set of LINUX SW possible 3) NO NT PDC 4) All clients are W2K. 5) Want
