i'm running samba-3.0.2 on a redhat 9 box with windows 2003. I've got a samba pdc up and running. I want a user to have domain admin privilidges. With samba 2.2.8a and windows 2000 this was easily accomplished with the following entry in [global] domain admin group = garvald this had the effect that garvald had full administrator rights upon logging into windows2000 through the samba

Hi All, The interface manual says - grant tables provide a generic mechanism sharing between domains. Subsequent lines suggest mechanism sharing between only unpriviliged domains. Can grant tables be used for this capability based shared memory communication between dom0 and domUs?

Hi I'm using dovecot on a LAN server. I sometimes read mail from the server itself locally with mutt and sometimes remotely with mutt or mozilla . I would like to avoid typing my password whenever necessary but without writing a plain-text equivalent copy of it locally. It feels quite silly to have to type the password locally becase the imapd does not know that the process is indeed a

I have been trying to get a straight answer on this and hoping that someone can help me out. This is my current configuration (simplified) and what I need. We have 4 directories. Call them directory "a, b, c, and d". We also have 4 groups. Lets call them "admin, user, exec, db." We would want "amdin" group full control over all directories. Next we want group

I'm stumped. When trying to connect to Oracle using the RODBC package I get an error: *[RODBC] Data source name not found and no default driver specified. ODBC connect failed.* I've read over all the posts and documentation manuals. The system is Windows Server 2003 with R 2.81. and the latest downloadable RODBC package. The Oracle SID/DSN is mfopdw. I made sure to add it to Control

Hi all! I have configured a Samba PDC (3.0.7) on a Fedora Core 2 machine with LDAP authentication (conform http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html). I have about 180 Windows XP Pro clients using this PDC to log onto the domain, which works great! However I seem to have trouble synchronizing the time on the clients to the time on the server. The users (in group Domain Users) do not have

Installation of my app gets as far as a message from SetupMgr that reads: > You do not have administrator priviledges on this machine. > Setup cannot continue. I know that running Wine (1.1.0 in my case) as root is not recommended. :) I'm running an Ubunut 8.04 derivative, so I know I'm not running as root. :D Any suggestions of a work around ? I tried sudoing everything

I am receiving an error when trying to connect to the Oracle Database using RODBC on a 64-bit Windows Server OS. The version of R is 2.10.0-win32.exe Is this the wrong version. Does RODBC only work with 32-bit ODBC drivers? 've read over all the posts and documentation manuals. The system is Windows Server 2003 with R 2.81. and the latest downloadable RODBC package.

For some reason i can't change the permissions on /var/spool/postfix/ dovecot.index.log from postfix to dovecot, or anything else. I changed all the files in /var/spool/postfix to be owner postfix so that postfix wouldn't complain about insufficient priviledges. I'm running MacOS X 10.4.7. I can change it all I want, but the owner and group changes do not 'stick' - they

Hi, Recently there have been advisories and patches for SuSE and RedHat (and probably a few others) regarding a vulnerability in Vixie Cron. The details say that there's insufficient checking of the return value of setuid, which can lead to priviledge escalation and lets users run cron jobs with root priviledges. As far as I know, FreBSD also uses Vixie Cron (at least the cron(8) manpage

I've read the achives, but I'm not finding anything. On XP, I can give a local user admin priviledges on his/her local machine when they are logged in to that machine and not the domain. How do I do this when they are logged in to the domain, with Samba as a PDC? Some programs need to create tmp files that they can not if the the user does not have admin privs on his/her machine.

Hi list, hi John, having seen last week a post (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?m=107341768923846) that remind me some quirks I encountered, I'd like to see a preamble added to the chapter 12 of the howto. It concerns the diffent types of admin you will need in a PDC setup. I say preamble, but it could be found anywhere else, as long as it could be found (I have lost long hours

Hello everyone. I'm using SAMBA version 3.0.9-2.3-SUSE as a PDC and internal mail server (few users in user list) for quite some time and so far so good for what i wanted (Domain logins, shares, users files and backups). My problem is when i need to install software or hardware on a machine (client of the domain - Windows XP Pro). As the users don't have administrator priviledges on their

Hello, I have recently had 'Broadband' (Cable) Internet installed in my house and I have setup the my Linux PC to do Network Address Translation for my Windows PC. This system has worked well with the PPP modem, and I know that a full Proxy server would be better, but at the moment I haven't got the time to set one up etc. This setup worked fine: Modem[ppp0

OK... I have set samba up as a primary domain controller for my internal network. everything is working perfectly, almost. although I have machines that have joined the domain, and my shares are working properly, I have been unable to set any of the accounds with administrative priviledges. I am unable to find any documention on doing so. how (prefferable using smbpasswd) can I set a user as

Hi ! I'm desperately looking for an answer here... I've been fighting all week-end with samba-3.0 and there's still something I can't do...
