you could use the "veto files =" option in [global] set a list of files/folders to be invisible to the users like this: veto files = /*.vbs/*.eml/Desktop/Cookies/ ...and on and on and on...

Hello, I am trying to get the archive bit to behave under Samba 2.2.2 on a Linux box (Slackware 8.0) serving NT and Win2K clients. I have "map archive = yes" and "dos filemode = yes". If I have "force create mode = 0100", creating new files sets the archive bit (good) and "attrib +a filename" will turn on the archive bit if it was off (good) but

I first start smbd -D and nmbd -D Then I start winbindd Then I join the domain (smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r DOMAINCONTROLLER -U Administrator) It works Then I check my Secret (wbinfo -t) and it's good Then I list users and groups (wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g) and it works fine However I still cannot get "getent passwd" and "getent group" working, it just lists the local users

I'm running Samba 2.2.3a on NetBSD. I've been having an annoying problem with winbindd dying inexplicably. I finally found a test that seems to (eventually) kill it: while wbinfo -t > /dev/null; do /usr/bin/true; done The problem is a memory leak in winbindd.

Is password aging/expiration a functional feature in Samba 3? I have compiled and installed the alpha 12 release and while I can set password aging in the account policies via NT's account manager, Samba 3 does not seem to be honoring it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I can't find the thread but someone last week was having trouble with 'getent passwd' not returning the Windows domain users as well as the local users. 'wbinfo -u' worked but not 'getent passwd'.
