Hi, I have just set up samba on my FreeBSD 4.5 stable box, and have it integrating quite nicely with windows 2000 server ( not set up as a PDC ), however the FreeBSD server keeps dialing out approx every 10 minutes or so. The FreeBSD Server is also acting as a DNS Server ( IPv4 ) and the dial up is handled through the tunneling device. This has been working fine until I have installed samba and

Hi, I have a problem with logon script. I will at first disconnect all connected drives from last Windows run, and the connect home dir.

I have a home network with my dial up connection on the windows 98 machine. Since I have installed SAMBA and configured the computers to see each other, I can no longer pull up a website on the windows 98 machine. The problem is that I have assigned a permanent IP address for the Intranet. I have to use DHCP for the dail up connection. Therefore the IP address that I assign to Windows machine

Hi all ! I'm using Samba 2.2.3a on a Redhat Linux 7.2 as a Primary Domain Controller ! My users are mostly use win2000 and the profile directory can be really large after some month, so in this case I need a lot of Extra storage to store them on the PDC ! We don't need this feature basically, so is it possible somehow to switch of this feature ? Best Regards ! Viktor Posta

I am running Samba on a debian box. I have recently installed Ext3 in order to allow for large files. I am also running samba 2.2.2-2 on the box. I am able to create a file natively on linux that is about 5 gigs or so. Yet I seem to be running into a problem when I try to create a file larger then 4 gigs from my Win2k box. Is this a know issue? Is there a work around for it. The file is a

I've gotten 4 e-mails from this list today from people who were sending out this virus. It appears to be spreading rather quickly. I would urge all of you to update your virus software and get rid of this bug quickly. Thanks, James Simons

Hello, ** Please CC replies to ian@ichilton.co.uk as I am not subscribed ** I have a Brother laser printer connected to a linux box running Samba. It is working fine from Win98 workstations, but now I have Win2K on my laptop, I am unable to print. This is because the linux box obviously doesn't have the win2k driver so I tried to install it as a local printer and then change it to a network

Folks -- I've read the FAQ at samba.org/samba/docs/FAQ, I've searched the mailing list archives for "unexpected network error", I've searched Google for "samba unexpected network error", and been unable to find anything. If there's another source of information that I should check, I'd greatly appreciate a pointer. I'm trying to copy files to Samba

Hi all, I'm trying to set up my "passwd chat", then I was adviced to use: passwd chat debug = yes debug level = 103 encryp passwords = no But I can't find the "chat" inside log.smbd What am I doing wrong? Cheers, -- Benilton Carvalho DE / IMECC / UNICAMP Red Hat Linux i18n Team

Hi ! I have a problem using an external script to change password : in smb.conf, i have : => passwd chat = "Changing password for*\nNew password*" %n\n "\nRetype new password*" %n\n => passwd chat debug = Yes => log level = 100 => unix password sync = Yes => passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd %u The script is called normally, and logs show that the

I have just installed the IRIX binary version (2.2.2) on an SGI Indy called "indy2" which is running IRIX 6.5.10. I then started to work through the tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt documents and all was well until test 8. To try to get things going I reduced the smb.conf file to the following: [global] workgroup = indy2grp [homes] guest ok = no read only = no [tmp]

Hi, Following an upgrade to 3.0.23, it appears that my UNIX password sync/chat is no longer working (although I can't confirm it wasn't broken in 3.0.21, it was working before). The XP clients throw up a "no permission to change password" error when the users attempt to renew passwords. I've carefully checked my password chat script and it appears to be OK. The logs

I can't get my Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7,0-BETA3) changing UNIX passwords from Windows clients (Ctrl-Alt-Del). I now have the password chat debug active and I have loglevel 100. I am not certain about the syntax in the password chat. But if I from a console try to change the password of a given user (here testuser1), I see these lines: mflserver3# /usr/bin/passwd testuser1 Changing local password

Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

Hello, Sorry to have posted in the wrong thread, resending the email. We have a samba domain and now some of the users from WINDOWS 2000 Pro are unable to change their password, below is the error : They are able to login without any problems. pdb_free_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT was NULL [2004/06/07 13:52:29, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(817) check_oem_password: incorrect password length

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

The %o passwd chat parameter (current password) doesn't seem to be working in this release. I'm running a Redhat 9 system that seems to require it. Changing the %o to the current password allows everything to work so I'm pretty sure it is something related to that parameter. Is this a bug or am I just reading the log wrong? from smb.conf: unix password sync = Yes passwd program
