similar to: windows desktop redirection -> samba has problems

Hi, We are considering samba 3.0.1 as a replacement for our old-hag Windows NT4.0 Server PDC. However, we do want some policy control, and from the samba 3.0.0 documentation (23.3), it says the only current functional policy is the password expirey. Is this still true in samba 3.0.1? Can an NT4.0 server be a backup domain controller to samba 3.0.1 PDC? That way we can keep the NT4 machine

Has anyone on this list been able to configure samba in such a way so that it will authenticate to windows 2K acitve directory. What I want to do is this: install samba 2.2.7 onto a Redhat linux 7.3 system, then configure samba (I think using something called smb_pam) so that it will join the windows active directory domain. Is such a thing possible? Has anyone here done it? I can't find

ive got several hundred user accounts in NIS that i need to get into the smbpasswd file. since samba doesn't actually use NIS, but can only be in sync with it, what is the best way to get all these passwords into smbpaswd? I'd hate to have to have all users re-enter their passwords... anyone done this before? thanks in advance, alex ---

We have a network with Windows NT/2000, SGI's, Linux, Macintosh, AIX. Our user account/passwords for all our machines is handled by NIS on an AIX machine. Our unix machines autheticate through NIS. Our windows machines authenticate by loging on to an NT server acting as the PDC, and that PDC has a service installed on it called "WinDD NIS" (made by Tektronix I think) which contacts

I've got a 3.3TB ext3 on a FC3 64-bit system, running kernel 2.6.10-1.766FC3smp. I create the partition with parted 1.6.21, and I make the fs via: mkfs.ext3 -m1 -b 4096 -T largefile4 /dev/sda1 Works fine. bonnie++ running on it multiple times for days on end, no problems. However, I do the exact same setup on a RHEL4-AS i686 system, 32-bit, and the fs is totally hosed, get all kinds of

Yes, I get more than 30MB/s performance. The benchmark I use (NetBench) is essentially CPU bound, such that a faster processor = faster performance. With a very fast hardware config (dual 3.2GHz processors), I've been able to hit around 100MB/s. Changing the RAM or other attributes does not buy me much, it seems that processor power is the bottleneck (at least in my case). When doing your

Does anyone know where i can find out how powerful a machine has to be to handle a certain amount of call volume? Eg, 2Ghz is enough processing power to maintain 100 calls at a time. 4Ghz is engouh to process 250 calls etc etc. Thanks Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hai, ?

Hello again, Thanks James for your replies. In regards to the slow read/write, the software vendor is aware of the problem, at some stage they will buffer the read/write, but it won't happen overnight, the binary file is quite complicated. So there are no updates available for this particular issue and I don't expect any for a couple of months. The software in question can generate

I try to admin Samba 3.0.0 and 3.0.1pre3 (tried both versions) NT4.0 PDC with NT4.0 machine and NT4.0 USRMGR.EXE and get persistent error message 1) The group name could not be found 2) The user name could not be found 3) The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Loggin into domain under name: root I can see the user and group listing. When I click on a user to see his

Subject isn't exactly samba, but samba people usually know a lot about windows bat scripting. Here's my problem: Currently our domain login script is doing this (among other things): ifmember.exe "WINDOWS-DOMAIN\Projects" if errorlevel 1 ( net use p: \\server1\projects ) This works fine. The problem is I'm moving the projects storage to a different server called server 2

Hi, Ive got winbind and samba working great (version 2.2.3) on our RH 7.1 box's. But as we have about 200 users on our domain, we want to restrict ssh access on our linux box's. So I created a group on the NT PDC called: Winbind In this group, Ive only put our developers and us, the sy admins. In the /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I entered the line: AllowGroups MMEBS+Winbind. Thus, allowing

Hi All, When I copied one file from NT4.0 to Linux through samba with 'copy' command in NT4.0, the file was always corrupted. Size of the file copied into Linux was always about 4G. If I copied it through Windows Explorer, it was OK. It seems samba cannot process the "Write Raw" request sent by 'copy' command correctly when file size is larger than 4G bytes. Thanks

Printing from NT4.0 clients to Samba 2.2.3a using the NT4.0 drivers from HP works fine for me, my only problem has been with W2K clients using the W2K drivers from HP. The drivers from www.hp.com appear to be level 3 drivers, that is where they install, and they are downloaded by W2K drivers if they are available when the NT4.0 drivers are also available. Now, whether these drivers from HP are

Good evening, On the bottom of page 53, section 4.1.2.2 in the SNIA spec (http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/CIFS/CIFS-TR-1p00_FINAL.pdf), it states if the dialect is NT LM 0.12 and extended security is off (I.e., use "traditional" NTLMv2/NTLMv2 authentication w/o SecurityBlobs), the SessionSetupAndX response is as shown in section 4.1.2.2 with a word count = 4. However, what I have

I'm sure there is a more general way to ask this question but how do you use the elements of a character vector as names of objects in an expression? For example, say you have: a = c(1,3,5,7) b = c(2,4,6,8) n=c("a","b") and you want to use the names a and b in a function (e.g. sum) sum(eval(as.name(n[1])),eval(as.name(n[2]))) works but what is a simpler way to

Hi guys, I was wondering how do you look for clients for your Rails companies? I know there are places like project4hire.com but these are more suitable for individuals I think than companies. I was supprised to find there is no such "project market" for Rails projects out there - anyone interested in developing one? Do you think it might be useful / got interest of both developers and
