similar to: smbpasswd encryption (2.2.3a - RH 7.2 - kernel 2.4.7-10) Win2k

Hey geeks, I have been reading several faqs and howtos now and haven't come very far with what I really wanted to accomplish: I have installed samba from the RH 7.2 distro rpm. I have set it up so I can access my windows shares on the linux mashine. I can "ping athlon" (which is the netbios-name for the win2k mashine) I can "ping linux" (which is obviously my

Hi LUs, I dont have much time at the moment to read tons of documentation. So, I would like to ask a hopefully easy to answer question. Samba is running alright with me, smbclient works fine, but I would like to print from my Linux box over LAN to a printer (HP 560C) connected to a win2k box. Because I can't afford a better or second printer & I also havent got enough room for it

Hi there, first of all I want to thank everybody who gave me good advise so far ;-). Now it's the first time I can give advise, and I'm quite glad that I can start giving insted of only taking now :-) ! Hi Petr, Yes, I have solved my general problems as follows: First of all you have to check your firewall settings, because that was the major problem on my system. On RH 7.2 the

Hello Does anyone know why normal users can set a blank samba password with the smbpasswd kommand by inserting <CR> twice after inserting the old passwd: ben@amo:% /opt/samba/bin/smbpasswd Old SMB password:<oldpasswd> New SMB password:<CR> Retype new SMB password:<CR> Password changed for user ben After that the user can map the samba shares with a blank password even

Hi everyone, I am new to the list and new to Linux as well as to Samba. I've read quite a few howtos, man-pages and other docs on samba now. I configured my own SMB-server with smbd and nmbd. Of course I generated a smb.conf file and my server is accessible and running on the Linux mashine. I can connect with smbclient to the Linux-mashine and to the win2k-mashine (hostname and service

I have played around with samba now for quite a while but couldnt print on my win2k box with koffice. with the command line smbclient it works: smbclient //server/hpdeskje -N -P -U user -c 'print hello' prints a text (from the file hello) "Hello World" Also a print to file file off my win2k box would print fine with smbclient. Only, I cant quite find out how the printcap

This morning, I had just booted my laptop and gone off to do something else. When I came back, the console was being filled with errors like this: Oct 17 08:05:53 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Oct 17 08:05:53 kernel: 03:03: rw=0, want=702921096, limit=9237375 Oct 17 08:05:53 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,3)): ext3_readdir: directory #165601 contains a hole at offset 0

I have a MacOS X server and I am trying to get it to connect to the Samba Services that is now bundled in X server. I can see the machine in My Network Places but I can not get a user to log in. Guest works but nothing else. Keeps stating user/pass incorrect. I don't know if there are any Users out there can point me in the correct place or not. One suggestion I was given was to change the win

If I want to make two servers use the same encrypted passwords can I share the smbpasswd file via NFS? Will updates/locking work correctly? Is there an alternative? Can LDAP/PAM use encrypted passwords? -- Gary Algier, WB2FWZ gaa@@ulticom.com +1 856 787 2758 Ulticom Inc., 1020 Briggs Rd, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054 Fax:+1 856 866 2033 A self-addressed envelope

Just a quick question, I am trying to get samba reconfigured on my system to support ACLs. I was hoping to use the same scheme that the RedHat binary uses when placing my files (bins, mans, libs, etc...), I think I've got most of them sorted out (by referencing a bin installed system). I was hoping to use the flag --prefix= when configuring samba. (I think) I want to set / as the prefix.

Greetings ... In the smbpasswd file, does the uid, uid number and password have to match the Linux equivalint? The reason I ask, is that I am hoping that I can have a different password for Samba and Linux, because I don't wish to give out my root password for domain joining. I once tried to setup a admin account with the same uid number as root but with a different password and

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 ---

Hello, this is my first time writing to this mailing list. The language which is spoken in the list is english? I'm german. So please correct me. I try to install Samba 2.2.2 on a Linux Mandrake8 machine. Compiling the source and installing it worked well. at the moment the file smbpasswd is missing. How can I create this file? Shouldn't the install routine create that file? Thanks for

Greetings, I was reading over the documentation online for using SAMBA as a PDC, and in the section about creating machine trust accounts is talks about having to add machine accounts to the /etc/passwd file. The text also mentions that future versions of SAMBA will remove this requirement: "Because Samba requires machine accounts to possess a UNIX uid from which an Windows NT SID can

Since there is a lot of discussion of having problems when upgrading from 2.0.7 to 2.2.3a, would someone please share what steps to possibly take, to ensure this goes smoothly? Mike

OK, so I looked through all the archives and still can't find a solution. My server is running RedHat 7.2 with all the latest patches, Samba is also latest 2.2.3a with domain masters set as "yes" and passwords NOT set as encrypt, because when I do turn it on, none of the Win98 boxes can log on (even when I tried to create non-blank password account). All Win98 boxes login

Hi folks I'm new to this list, fresh into linux and samba. Simply love it :-) I have a customer that have about 10 XP pro machines connected to a linux samba server. Since there are a quite few documents that only two of the users are going to see, I use groups and different shares. This setup have been working for a while. Today everyone got access to everything - not good. Actualy very

Also sometimes after a reboot it hangs on "Uniform CD Driver Revision 3.12". This is the main error I am getting now. I dont seem to get the loader problem anymore but now I get a hang on "Uniform CD Driver Revision 3.12" when

Hello, This might be a bit off-topic, and I apologize. But I think this might be a FS problem I'm having with ext3 (but I'm not sure). I finally got RH 7.2 to install on my new box. The box looks like: Epox 8KHA+ motherboard (KT 266A chipset) 512 Meg DDR DRAM WD 200BB HD S3 Savage 2000 64 Meg card (set at AGP 4x) NEC 5FGp monitor Intel NIC CD floppy I partitioned the HD to look
