Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

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, 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

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

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.

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, 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

Hi, Any user (besides root) cannot execute smbpasswd, neither for command line nor from the WinNT "Change password dialog". Samba works as a PDC for the domain.

Hello, I am trying to change my passwd via windows password utility.

Auth works and the pdc stuff all works

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

Hi. I have for a while been trying to get my samba 2.2.1a PDC to be a NIS master and still maintain the password sync feature, without any luck. Now I made something that seems to work - but I would like to get your input to see if what I do is ok or it is something I should'nt do. 1: Samba uses passwd to sync the password (not yppasswd) 2: cron runs make in /var/yp every 15 minutes to

I have tried hunting through docs/lists/Google but no joy. I am sure I saw something about running multiple Samba's on different ports but I want to use different interfaces all on port 139. So: Can I run multiple s/nmbd's on the same machine? I have nine main VLANs and somewher in the region of 30 odd worgroups (don't ask !) of which 10 are of interest. 3,500 odd PCs. I have a

Anyone know of a brief overview of the expected limitations on an IRIX system running Samba 2.2.3a +Winbind? Everything seems to least work, but I still find some odd permissions things going on. The IRIX machine is authenticating NT users from my NT domain OK and I can specify user rights to files, but when you do a long listing under IRIX it list the file as being owned by DOMAIN-NAME with

Hello, I am wondering if Samba cares what types of files you are putting onto the server and if this effects the performance of the server. Attempts to copy various file types to my Samba 2.2.5 RH7.3 server have given mixed results. I appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you. Sincerely, Robert Dempsey Atlantic Dominion Solutions

My name is Angelica Nunes and I work at TV Globo Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. I need some help about the SAMBA software. Our system is based on Silicon Graphics' machines, models: Indy, Impact, Onyx and Indigo using Operational System Irix 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4. We must upgrade all these systems to Irix 6.5 version. We would like to know which samba version is compatible with Irix 6.5? Where do I can

I'm running Samba 2.2.3 with winbind for authentication. Much to my surprise, I found I had a need to connect an MS-DOS system to the network. I'm using MSCLIENT to do so. I can successfully log into the domain and map drives on Windows NT servers, but I'm having trouble mapping Samba shares. Examining the log shows that the DOS machine is apparently trying to connect with a username
