similar to: Samba-Clearcase: users are seen as nobody user

I have a SAMBA Server utilizing an LDAP backend for user authentication and it works great unless I use ClearCase. When ClearCase is used the compilation time for our code is slowed down to a crawl and the ClearCase application is rendered nearly useless. As a test fix my boss wants me to create a second SAMBA server to be used for only the ClearCase server. I don't know if this will work,

We're trying to use samba to let our PC's mount view extended pathnames used by clearcase but they show up as empty. If anyone's used samba and Clear Case (by Pure Atria) and gotten it to work I'd love to hear how. thanks, Bill -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

Is there anyone out there successfully using Rational Clearcase with SAMBA? Was there any special changes you had to make to get it to work? We were told by Rational specifically not to use SAMBA and wanted to get the other side.

Andrew, Thank you for your suggestions. The real problem is Rational Technical support. When you pay someone 100k+ they tend to look for any excuse to deem you "unsupported". If you don't have your default group set to the clearcase user group, then technical support will decide that thats where your problem is! I am sure you know how that goes... I have solved problems

This falls under the 'getting clearcase to work with samba' category. Does anybody know if the clearcase albd server actually uses samba to access files (or anything else) on the unix side? I am having 'discussions' with rational (the clearcase people). The nt user running clearcase to access some unix-side views connects to the unix side using a set of credentials that have

Hi all -- I recently temporarily deployed an upgraded Clearcase server (7.1.2.3) on 64 bit RHEL 5.6. With it I was using Redhat's release of Samba for that version of the OS -- 3.0.33. The system has 32 GB of memory and within 12 hours, it would be down into swap. Maximum active licenses used is 36 but a more typical load is 18-25 users having a Clearcase license at once. Clearcase

Hello Samba, We tried to use samba-2.2.4-1 with Rational ClearCase and had a problem using WinBind. ClearCase requires the primary group id to be set to the clearcase users group. WinBind sets the primary group to something like DOMAIN_GROUP_RID_USERS. I am including the patch we made to samba-2.2.4 to get things working. I have added two new smb.conf options: winbind primary group //

FYI: I'm using samba 2.0.6 for clearcase interoperation between Unix and NT, and while it works great 99% of the time, I run into a problem whenever I do a complete build on an NT system, which involves compiling ~1500 files. The first 1100 or so are compiled correctly, but then the following errors show up on the NT box: The system cannot open the device or file specified. And the

We are having some problems in our company's test group that did not exist when our Clearcase 2003.06 server existed on a Solaris 8 machine. Now we are running on RHEL 5.2 with Clearcase 7.0.1.3 with Samba 3.0.28 (despite the fact that IBM has only blessed up to 3.0.24) and running into some file locking issues with some scripts our test group runs. I am hoping that someone might have some

Gerald, No worries. This patch is required if your using Rational ClearCase and you don't want everyone to have access to it. It's to fix a brokenness (IMO) within ClearCase, and maybe other programs. Our windows primary group has 10k+ users... I will shoot it off to Rational, so they can provide it to there customers. I was hoping it could be applied to the main tree so I could just

Hello, We are using Samba to connect our ClearCase server to the Windows environment. Our original configuration was one server hosting all our VOBs and Views. We have Samba configured to allow mapping of shares to our ClearCase Windows Clients. Everything was working fine. Now we have set up a second server to host all our Views separate from the VOBs. So we have a View server and a separate VOB

I'm hoping this turns into another case of 'knowing it works makes it happen.' I am involved with a unix clearcase installation which now needs to work with nt. We have clearcase 3.2.1 running on both the unix and nt side. Because we have checkin/checkout triggers hooked to some unix-side stuff, we need the unix views to be accessible from nt. Does anyone have direct experience

FYI:, I'm fairly new to samba (a couple of months now), and have experimented - unsuccessfully - with getting it to work with clearcase. Does anyone have a how-to, or a list of gotcha's for setting up clearcase with samba? Thanks in advance for any information you can send me. Ozzie,

Hi, Due to a security reason, I can't set up mutual trust domains, however need to use SAMBA for multiple MS NT domains access Unix ClearCase. Please help..... 1. Can SANMA be configured to work with two domain controller (Active directory) password servers? Or just one PDC per SAMBA? 2. Can one ClearCase server authenticate users through two SANMA processes which are configured with

Hi all, Just a novice in this world of Samba. I got a question, probably too simple. No problem to access share file systems and mount ClearCase vobs. Log shows access granted to NT userid belonging to the right UNIX group. Then, editing a file ( using a view thru Explorer), log shows another non authenticate user called clearcase_albd trying to be validated. I guess due to

Dear all, I have a SUN server running as ClearCase view-server and am using Samba for Interop. Today I updated Samba from 3.0.21c to 3.0.24 and now I cannot mount/start my views from windows!! MVFS error log on my windows client gives "{8 pid/tid 49800000c58/85fdf178} MvfsFsNotification: Unsupported filesystem type (6)" Samba logs don't show any error... Trying other

Hello, I am Shashidhar SR Working for Siemens Communication Software in Bangalore, INDIA as a Configuration Manager for Clearcase. I need some help regarding the samba configuration at our site. First Let me Explain our Environment: - We are Using samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 9. - We are using samba as an interop from Solaris 9 box to winnt/w2k/win-xp clients. - On Solaris we have installed IBM

Hi All, Users at our site are using SAMBA (Version 2.0.8 and 1.9.15p8) to map their Home Directories and their Clearcase Vobs/Views on their Windows 2000 desktops. Home directories are being mapped without any issues but while mapping their views/vobs we are getting the error stated below: Network path \\server name\share could not be found and The mapped network drive could not

Dear all I currently have samba running with ClearCase 2003 and all works well except I cant make views from the windows PCs. I need to make them from the Unix box and then synchronise them. Has any one ever managed to got this functionality to work. Apart from that samba works perfectly. I can read/write via ClearCase perfectly IBM can't seem to make their mind up if this is possible or

One of the benefits of living in Silicon Valley is the SVLUG Linux users group. You meet the most interesting people there :-). I met someone from Rational software who has the ability to contact the product manager for Clearcase. I told him about the number of Clearcase customers who would like Rational to support Clearcase running against a Samba fileserver (as they've asked the Samba Team
