Hi all, I'm trying to get a Samba server (which is a member of a Samba controlled domain) to store WinXP Pro user's profiles. The XP user is authenticating against a 2003 Active Directory server, which then tells it to store it's profile on my Samba server. The 'profiles' share exists and is writeable and under some circumstances we can get profiles to be stored there,

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Hi all, There seems to be a conflict in the online documentation as to the 'security =' level and the 'add user script'. http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN1146 says that you have to have 'security = user' in order to have Samba behave as a PDC. Further on :- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN1231 it says

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped. (mostly) Connecting to shares still works. Navigating the tree till works. Changing (DOS) attributes still works. But actually opening files and reading the contents doesn't work. The client just times out (Win 3.11, and

Hi all, Can you use Samba to store an XP Pro profile? I'm running Samba 3.0.2a (compiled from source) on Solaris 9. Compiled it against OpenLDAP 2.1.30 and MIT Kerberos 1.3.3 (both compiled from source from fresh downloads today). Am now trying to get Windows XP Pro to store profiles on to this box. The smbd and nmbd seem to run fine. Every time XP Pro goes to create a user's

Sorry if this is an FAQ...I have seen reports of this problem on several mailing lists, but never a solution. I have used Samba on Solaris for years, currently 2.2.1 on Solaris 9. Trying to upgrade to 3.0.6, with no luck on 2 different Solaris 9 systems. It compiles and installs OK, but clients can't connect. Not only Win2k and XP PC's, but smbclient -L on the same machine

Hi Samba people I saw this as a problem in the archives about a month ago but no solution ? I'm running samba 2.2.10 on Solaris 8. We have a script to replace /usr/bin/passwd which changes the NIS passwd and then uses smbpasswd to change the user's smb password to the same thing. Some users are getting : NIS password changed for diane on cauchy machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password

I have samba 3.0.4 set up as a PDC and have a problem with using "force user" with thie following share: [shared] path = /usr/local/samba/shared write list = usera, userb, userc force user = usera guest ok = true If I try to write a file from an XP system as usera I get an "Access is denied" failure. If I take out the "force user" line there is no

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

Hi all Reference: http://support.zresearch.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Installing_GlusterFS_on_OpenSolaris I have found this guide to be too brief/terse, and have endeavoured to improve it via more of a recipie/howto approach - and possibly misunderstood the intent of the brief directions in the process. Please advise if there are any errors? Once the procedure is

Hello, I'm running samba 2.2 on FreeBSD 4.4. I was wondering if there was a way to sync up the samba and FreeBSD user passwords so that when either via the unix passwd or samba's smbpasswd program a user changes a password it is changed through both systems? If anyone is dong this successfully please let me know. Thanks. Dave.

Thank you very much, it was the setting on the RS6000. Whoever originally setup our box didn't specify the BST time offset correctly. The system was reading TZ=GMT0BST0,M3.5.0,M10.5.0 Thanks to everyone that contributed to solving a simple and obvious error !!!! :) Mike ________________________________________________________________________________________ >From "John Ryan"

Dear Sirs, is there a tool which performs check between /etc/passwd and PREFIX/private/smbpasswd ? (I mean different UID when username is the same, missing entries, duplicate entries, etc....) Regards, Ilia Chipitsine

Hi all, I've been working (hard) on password sync (with NIS) here and it's now ready to roll. However, there's a problem. If I use '% smbpasswd -r nnpdc' from the UNIX command line, then the password change program runs as root and the NIS gets updated. If I use 'c:\> net password \\nnpdc' (from an Win98 box) then the password change program runs as the user

Hi all, We're at the preliminary stages of investigating this, but I can't find any references to it on a Google etc. Anyway. We've just moved from 3.0.6 to 3.0.13 and users report a file being missing. On investigation it turns out that (as far as we could tell in a 5 minute minor panic) the last file in a directory is not included in a wildcard search. (last file is defined

Fellow Samba Folks, I am trying to setup Samba version 2.2.8a. I would like to authenticate the users with their NIS password and not use a smbpasswd file on the Samba Server. I also want to use the encrypt password feature. The clients will be using XP or Win2K os. Is this possible or do I have to find a Windows Domain Server.
