Hi everybody, I posted the following on 'comp.protocols.smb' newsgroup but got no answer. I'm now trying this way. On one side, I have a Solaris 7 box running Samba 2.2.0 and on the other, a W2K machine sharing to everyone in full access mode the contents of its C:\Public directory. Is there a way to run a UNIX script or command on this Windows share? I tried using

Ok, here's a simple question, (I just rejoined this list so apologies if it has been asked a million times before). Our Company runs SAMBA 1.9-18p1 from a USS (Unix System Services) on an IBM Mainframe. I used to have WinNT 4.0, and I could access Files on Windows Explorer through SAMBA with no problems. Now I updated one of my workstations to WinXP Pro., and - no access to the Samba

Hello, I need help - 1. What should be the configuration of nsswitch.conf file when I want to make a Unix box both PDC (by configuring Samba as PDC) as well a NIS server. 2. what should be the value of following parameters in nsswitch.conf file? a) passwd = nis files group = nis files or b) passwd = nis [NOTFOUND=return] files group = nis [NOTFOUND=return]

If I want to make two servers use the same encrypted passwords can I share the smbpasswd file via NFS? Will updates/locking work correctly? Is there an alternative?

Hi, My name is Tom Faulhaber. I am the network administrator at a small company in Providence,RI. I am running Samba 2.2.2 on a Redhat 6.1 machine on a Novell 4.21 network. The workstations are Win98SE. The Linux box is being used for the company intranet (Apache 1.3.22). Everything runs fine, however I am completely stumped on one issue (so far). That issue is: network connectivity. If I

Greetings, I was reading over the documentation online for using SAMBA as a PDC, and in the section about creating machine trust accounts is talks about having to add machine accounts to the /etc/passwd file. The text also mentions that future versions of SAMBA will remove this requirement: "Because Samba requires machine accounts to possess a UNIX uid from which an Windows NT SID can

Hi everyone, I have set up two seperate AIX4.2.1 samba servers, and due to this, every time a user changes his Novell password, they (or more likely, I) have to change their passwords on both seperate samba servers (login is duplicating the novel/NT login password combination so that the filesystems are mapped automatically when they boot up). My question is :- Is it possible to synchronise two

Hi, I was using samba 2.0.7 veersion for a while without any problem. This morning, suddenly, many windows (nt/98) cannot connect the samba server on our Linux (RedHat 6.2) server. Then, I downloaded the version 2.2.4, extracted, configure it, make, make install according to the document. Then I test it by running ./testparm it lists all of shared folders. Then, I run ./smbclient -L

I have some new information concerning this issue. I am now able to change both the samba and unix passwords as anyone but root. If I try as root I only am able to change the samba password but not the unix password. I can do this at the unix prompt as well as in swat. So it works but why root can't change both of them makes no sense to me. root can't even change both for root,

OK, so I looked through all the archives and still can't find a solution. My server is running RedHat 7.2 with all the latest patches, Samba is also latest 2.2.3a with domain masters set as "yes" and passwords NOT set as encrypt, because when I do turn it on, none of the Win98 boxes can log on (even when I tried to create non-blank password account). All Win98 boxes login

Samba, I work for DIA which is located on Bolling Air Force Base in Washington D.C. We are currently using Samba 2.0.10 on our SUN UNIX servers which are running Solaris 2.5.1.

Is it possible to have the users password on the Unix end to be different to that of the Windows client user. Example: I have a Windows 2000 user who logs onto his PC as "fredblogs" with a password of "password1". On the Unix Samba end I have the user "fredblogs" setup with a password of "password2". I am then unable to access the Unix server, if I reset

Hi, I would like to ask, will the roaming profile directory in C:\Documents and Settings\username, will be deleted once the user logs out? Mine isn't. I'm worried that, for a thousand users, one workstation would have a thousand directories? I believe those are not local profiles, since it is saved into the server every time the user logs out.

Greetings ... In the smbpasswd file, does the uid, uid number and password have to match the Linux equivalint? The reason I ask, is that I am hoping that I can have a different password for Samba and Linux, because I don't wish to give out my root password for domain joining. I once tried to setup a admin account with the same uid number as root but with a different password and

ive got several hundred user accounts in NIS that i need to get into the smbpasswd file. since samba doesn't actually use NIS, but can only be in sync with it, what is the best way to get all these passwords into smbpaswd? I'd hate to have to have all users re-enter their passwords... anyone done this before? thanks in advance, alex ---
