So now that I'm looking at Linux as an alternative people tell me to use Samba. It seems to be that Samba is so Windows can see *nix servers. I need for my Linux desktops to access Windows servers. What are my options? Thanks, Jerry V. Way IS/IT Mgr. Kenra, LLC Indianapolis, IN

Oops I forgot to add: (with w2k client) does samba 2.2.3a work as a PDC with a w2k machine connecting to it???? Thanks again John -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hi, currently I am running Solaris 8 and I am trying to install Samba so that I can run smbsh to access a Windows server. I do the following: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba --with-smbwrapper make make install All the documentation I have seen says what I am doing is correct. Neither the configure nor any of the make commands fail. And once the installation is complete everything else

Setup: samba 2.2.2 Solaris 8 Trying to print to a printer attached to an NT4/sp6a machine. Printer passes 'test print page' test on NT and is shared. Problem: An error occurs when the smbclient command is used: cat afile | smbclient \\\\tech223\\testprn -U username%password -P -c "translate;print -" The error reported is "ERRDOS - ERRbadaccess (Invalid open mode.)

After you compile and install it (./configure --enable-smbwrapper ; make ; make install does it) you simply run it - it'll give you a login/pw and your usual shell prompt. You then can

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?

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

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

All, I have been working on a component that is included with samba called SMBSH. The binary allows you to automount your NT shares by accessing your profile . I have been working on this for the last few days and have been unsuccesful at getting it work. Now I am not much of a programmer, but I did my best to try and troubleshoot this. However it just does not want to work in Linux. I

I've just upgraded our little network here to 2.0 beta 5. The server is a Data General Intel box running DGUX R4.20. Compile and install went incredibly well and things have just about working straight off. However, we experienced a little 'funny' this afternoon. A user was creating and deleting a postscipt file in a Unix directory. She then used Ghostview on the PC client to

Samba, I work for DIA which is located on Bolling Air Force Base in Washington D.C. We are currently using Samba 2.0.10 on our SUN UNIX servers which are running Solaris 2.5.1. Our customers are experincing a problem when saving/creating documents via notepad within their home directory. Once the document is saved and the user/customer attempts to open the document, we get the follwing

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
