Dear list, last friday I had a frustrating experience during the update of my samba server. I've been running samba since 1998, now there are 50 users with win2k-boxes attached - the samba server acting as PDC. Becauce of a swap of the old server I finally decided to update to 2.2.8a. What I did (in general): - installed the new server with suse 8.2 prof - Installed the suse-rpms for

I'm having problems getting "Secret is bad" with the command "wbinfo -t". I get good results with "wbinfo -u", "wbinfo -g", and "wbinfo -m". I also have positive results with all the samba tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt. I've tried deleting the computer account and recreating many times on my Windows 2000 Domain Controller (everything is native

Hi, I've recently started at a new company that doesn't have a system in place to map my Linux home directory within Windows. I have my own Linux box (a recent Redhat install), and my own Windows XP PC. I will get no help from a system admin here, so my only option is to try installing Samba myself on my Linux box. To my surprise, I've found little or no information on installing

I have Samba 2.2.8 running on Debian Woody for S390. I am trying to connect via the wins server list that is on a win 2000 wins server, but I don't see my linux server in the list. I can ping and search and find the server by name. I looked in the log.nmdb for messages, but the file is not being created. Following is my smb.conf file # Samba config file created using SWAT # from

I've set up my Samba PDC to act as a WINS server, because I need remote access to it (through a VPN connection). I put "wins support = Yes" into the smb.conf file. As far as I know, WINS doesn't use a unique port number, so enabling the usual NetBIOS ports (137/udp, 138/udp, 139/tcp) on the firewall should be enough to make WINS work. I did this already. I tried to connect to a

hi all, i've spent an incredible amount of time trying to get samba working between linux (satan, debian testing, samba 3.0.0) and win2k (lucifer) and i'm at wit's end. i'm begging for help. i spent most of the morning reading samba docs, and have gone from knowing zilch about MS networking to, well, a little something about MS networking. my ultimate goal is to be able to

Dear all, I've tried to setup a directory share with SAMBA using the option security=domain. Infact I want that all the users' authentication is forwarded to an NT PDC without making UNIX users or mapping such users to NT domain ones. Anyway I had my Linux machine in the domain (through the PDC), then I used smbpasswd -j <DOM> -r <PDC>. After all, starting nmdb and smdb, I

Hi everyone, I'm new at this, been through all of the troubleshooting guides without any luck. So here I am. smb.conf looks like this: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SuSE # Date: 2003-09-23 [global] workgroup = CORBIN netbios name = CORBIN1 [data] comment =

Sorry to bother those of you who are faced with issues probably not as trivial my concern, but I am hitting a brick wall. I am upgrading from Samba 2.2.5 to 3.0.14a on a Solaris 8 box. I have configured, run make, makepkg and installed using pkgadd. I am using the same smbpasswd file and smb.conf file I used with 2.2.5. However, these files are now in the /etc/samba directory rather than the

either 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x networks? Don't forget to use a full stop after them like: hosts allow 192.168.1. 192.168.2. or you could write it like: hosts allow 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 > =A0 =A0 Okay, let me ask one basic question at a time. > > =A0 =A0 I "was thinking" that I didn't have to actually mount samba > (smbmount) in the past, back years

Greetings! Tonight is unfortunately the first small bit of time I've had to even try to get Samba configured between my Vista and my Linux FC4. (My mother as well as my extremely limited home time dealing with important things are my main delays.) It's not going well. :-) I have added hosts allow with 192.168.1 and 192.168.2. I have experimented with a few things. I

Hi folks, I have Samba 2.2.1a running as our PDC, and I go to make a share on my Win 2000 dev box (ie. this is NOT a smb share; my box is just querying the pdc for a list of domain users and groups). When it lists the specific users and groups, I only see user names, not any groups that exist on PDC. 1. How do I get groups to show up (for instance, let's say the PDC's /etc/group has a

Thanks for the replys... Just a basic samba server...being accessed by windows 7 to the gc and tmr shares with \\10.10.171.9\gc and \\10.10.171.9\tmr This has been running for a year without any issues...till the update yesterday afternoon :-( The file server is Ubuntu 18.04 and there was an update to Ubuntu 18.04.1, which I thought would be a mild step. The current version of samba is...

Hello, I have a samba 1.9.18p4 server running as a domain master browser on a subnet, with some clients distributed on other subnets. If there are only Win 95 clients on a subnet, browse sync works - but not if there are Win NT 4.0 SP3 machines on that subnet. Error from nmdb (at log level 3): sync_with_lmb: Initiating sync with local master browser MAILHEIDELBERG<0x20> at IP

Hello, I have an issue with a german application that generates files with iso-8859-15 encoded filenames. I have 2 Linux Suse servers, both connected to the same NAS filesystem, and sharing it via Samba. "unix charset" in smb.conf set to default utf-8 LC_CTYPE & LANG locale are set to en_US.UTF-8 - First server is Samba-3.6.3 (SLES11 SP4, kernel 3.0.101-107-default) : those

On a (vampired) samba NT4 domain, the client workstations could not browse the domain, although they could connect directly to open shares. The most common reasons for this failure are: 1) guest account is not properly configured 2) interfaces, (in smb.conf) are not properly configured. To which I would like to add: 3) smb ports option in smb.conf does not include port 139. Which is

Hi folks, It seems that the setting acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes reduces Windows compatibility when defined for a share. In all attempts I have used Windows tools (except editing smb.conf) Assume there is a share, where the files and folders in the share root should at least be readable by anybody having access to the share. For the sake of simplicity the following permissions apply on
