similar to: Samba 2.2.3a and password expiration?

So far, so good with 1.9.18p1 on HPUX 10.20 (kudos to the Samba team!). However, I've got a question.... I'd like to be able to restrict access to some of our services, and can certainly do so with the "hosts allow = " entry in smb.conf - it does exactly what I want. But... I plan on bringing Samba up on a few campus hosts, some of which have more extensive listings of PCs I

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book

All, I currently have a problem where the default user profile is not being picked up - Windows simply ingores it and creates one based on local settings. I understand samba supports default user profiles, and one can be put into the profiles share like this: /export/profiles/Default User/ This directory contains a copy of a working profile from a proper user. The relevant smb.conf sections

Hiya, I have recently upgrade samba to 3.0.1pre1 from alpha3-19. The upgrade went well with no real problems, except ..... I have noticed today that the load on the LDAP server is extremely high. CPU usage on slapd is anywhere between 10%-80%. At one point to day everything came to a grinding halt. The only difference between I can think of is the samba upgrade. This is with an average load of

Hi, You can use the command net rpc shutdown -S <machine name> to remotly shutdown a PC.

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ? Other solutions ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski perl -e '$_=q#: 13_2: 12/o{>: 8_4) (_4: 6/2^-2; 3;-2^\2: 5/7\_/\7: 12m m::#;

Hi, A weird problem ... My PDC is running samba 3.0 cvs from a couple of weeks ago. the os level is set to 65 and that machine has been the master for my domain for ages, until last night.

I have cranked the os level to 80, however I'm pretty sure that is not supported/a bad idea/not to be

Hi all, I'm here again ith a non-strictly samba related problem, but I hope someone in the list has already faced and perhaps solved it... I've got a 60 clients network (most Windows 200 and XP) organized in a domain. The pdc and bdc run on Fedora 2 + samba 3.0.7-2.FC2 + openldap-2.1.29-1, and everything works fine. To limit the use of internet bandwidth I installed a Windows 2003
