Is there anyone on the list that has been able to get Win2k SP3 working with the 3.0 alpha version? I'm able to join but I can NOT log in. I can see the machine account listed in pass.tdb (using pdbedit -l) and it is also in passwd & shadow. I HAVE ALSO APPLIED THE SIGN OR SEAL PATCH. The message I get is: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's

Hello All, I am setting up a samba backup UNIX box. It will periodically login onto a windoze box(with smbclient), pickup the files, and save them. The problem is that I couldn't make any error correction in case of power blackout or anything similar. That is, while backing up, if I shutdown the WIN machine, one I'm backing up, smbclient goes crazy, giving broken pipe error.

Morning everyone. I have a question about something i've been thinking about lately. I recently rolled out a samba server running 2.2.8a with OpenLDAP 2.0.27 on the backend to hold the user account info. My question is, how many people out there are running samba as their PDC and have implemented a BDC as well? I'm starting to consider about putting up a BDC for safeties sake. Does

Hello All! I have Samba Version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-2. Just recently I tried to join the domain using the Win2k Wizard with no success. This functionality worked in the previous version of Samba V. 2.2.3a. If I'm on the same subnet though, it works like a charm. The error I receive is the following: "The following error occurred validating the name "mydomain" The specified

After parsing through the various bits of available documentation, I'm forced to bow before the group and ask the following Silly User Question: While I can create and set NT ACLs on files/folder, anything in the root of the share can be deleted by any user who has access to that share.

Hello there, I have a samba PDC 3.0.0 running ok, but I had turned on the option "Time Server" in smb.conf, to synchronize the workstations time with server. But the workstations synchronize 1 hour less than it is. I think that the workstations isn?t considering the daylight saving time.

I have had this problem before. Never really got to the bottom of it but if you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable authentication. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Myers [mailto:myersjj@us.ibm.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 21:08 To: SAMBA@SAMBA.ORG Subject: RE: [Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate I had already done that, so it must be

Has anyone ever written a script to remove individual shares from the smb.conf file? I am trying to put together a script that will add & remove multiple shares at once by giving a <sharelist as input to the script. Adding shares is easy because I can just append the shares to the smb.conf file, but removing individual share entries within the smb.conf file without messing up the

As the list probably already knows I'm fairly new to Linux / Samba. Please bare with me. =) I've managed to compile Samba-2.2.4. The first compile went wrong using the "configure -with ldap" command (something like that). Anyway 2 days later after apt-get' ting any packages with "lib" and those that sound like they belong in the build =) I got it to compile

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin

We have been able to successfully install / configure SAMBA on our LAN / WAN. Everything is working out just fine.. Just 1 little problem (And I'm sure it is something I screwed up or missed in the docs). When changing a computer name on the client PC (Win2k), I receive an "Access Denied" error. I've even tried using the root account to change the name with no avail.

Hi there I can't add a w2k Machine to my existing samba domain. I did configure samba as a pdc, did create all accounts and when I wanna trust my box to the pdc it tells me in a faboulous window: " The domain name "DOMAIN" is either invalid or does not exist. Any Ideas? Best Rgds Jochen
