similar to: samba 2.4 and win2k clients doesn't work

Hi... I wanna use samba 3.0.28 (on FreeBSD 7.0) machine just to serve some shares with different content. We have several users, and access to a share should be managed by the unix group a user is in. so if the user is a member of the group 'business' he has access to a share called business. Every users has his primary group set to 'users'. I implemented that for several groups:

I have Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 8 acting as a PDC. I have written a script that checks to see if a user is already logged in on the PDC and if so, sends the user a message (via the SMB message stuff) telling them they need to log off. I run this script using "preexec close" under the netlogon share. So, the user authenticates against the PDC, but then gets a desktop that is mostly

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a user who is running a Samba server to store data files for his ArcView 3.3 application. Client operating system is Windows XP professional. With Samba2 (2.2.8a) this was working quite fine, it usually took less than a few seconds to load and render one of the GIS presentations with ArcView. We then did an upgrade to Samba3 (3.0.20b)

Hello, So I just setup samba and swat on one machine here in my office. I can see the work group that this machine has created from all my windows based machines and I can see my windows domain from the linux box. This made me happy since I am a nubie to this Linux stuff. But that's where the joy stopped. When I double click on the linux box from my windows box network places I get an

Greetz all, I am setting up a comain controller for a windows 2000 network and I think I have everything squared away. The problem that I am having right now is that all of the documentation/howtos that I have thusfar seen assume that a user wishes to implement roaming profiles in Samba. We want to preserve local profiles (local on the client.) I had seen a posting suggesting to set the

hi all, I have a problem with some windows 7 pro (64) clients navigating on samba shares. The user wants to open a folder and then it takes a long time until it opens. Looking into the samba log of the PC it is filled with this entries (seems to check for every ldap user): [2013/03/18 10:10:54.224428, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:572(init_sam_from_ldap) init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user:

Greetings, all: I'm having trouble working out a printing problem between my Samba box, and my Windows 2000 client. Here's the background: Network: Home network with a Slackware 8 box running Samba, 1 Windows 2000 client, 1 Windows 98 client, and a LEAF Project firewall providing Internet access. The Samba server should only be available to local clients. Systems: Slackware box:

I am using Samba 2.0.9 on S1 SuSE box and Samba 2.2.5 on S2 Suse box. S1 is acting as PDC for 98, NT clients. (logon script, shares from S1, and S2). Users's passwords are stored on S1, S2 uses security = server and password server = S1 options in smb.conf. I have upgraded both to Samba 2.2.8, but the logon script wants to connect to share from S2, it is prompted for a password. I have

First, I want to thank Mark Clement and Steve Litt for their comments. But as the subject indicates, i'm still not having any luck printing. Mark, I can't even get output to a test file. Below is a printout of testparm. One thing that *is* odd, is the reference to a "printers.def" file in /etc. There wasn't any such file there. The contents are a duplicate of the

I plead complete ignorance. I have 2 Win98 boxes and a Win2K box trying to access a Samba 2.08 server running on OpenBSD 2.8. All IP addresses are hard coded with the IP of the Samba box as the Wins server (see the smb.conf) The Win2K box can resolve the name of the Samba machine but cannot map to it. The other boxes can't resolve the name. All are set to the same workgroup. [global]

I've got a 2.2.3a-12 (Debian Stable) Samba server running on a small network with 98, 2000, and XP machines. The server is a domain controller and the computers are members of the domain. We are using login scripts to map the drives. I have one computer that is having a weird issue. When the user first logs on, you can go to My Computer and see the drive fine. Double-clicking on the drive

Hey folks. I have samba 2.0.7 running just fine on a freebsd server. I have file shares that work just fine for my windows clients. I have set up a deskjet 842C on the freebsd box and I can print to it just fine. Im using apsfilter with it. I have the printer set up and I can see it from my windows clients, but print jobs submitted to the queue never get printed. Im not sure wether to use bsd mode

All users on the network are part of the same group and the files they work on our in that group. So how come they cant clear the archive bits? Can any one help Ive pasted the global parameters from the conf file: Cheers.

I'm having some difficulties joining a Win2k workstation to a Samba domain. This particular workstation is my work laptop (DRUMMSW01) which normally operates as a member of a standard Win2k domain called BIZ. At windows startup/logon, BIZ is specified as the domain. At home, my Samba PDC's workgroup/domain is HOME.LAN When I try to browse shares on HOME.LAN with the Win2k laptop, I

Dear samba, i am experiencing a problem when i was setting my redhat 9 to become a domain server for windows, there is no problem for windows 2000 (i have no problem with join domain and domain logins), but with windows XP it's a different story, there's no problem with join domain, but when i try to do domain logins i encountered the following message : "windows cannot connect to the

Hi everyone, I have a question about the logon script command. I've read and read and read the man page for smb.conf. In essence, I've duplicated the settings on the PDC how-to document to create a PDC with a logon script. However, when I log in, the scrips doesn't run. The only thing I don't have enabled, like the how-to, is roaming profiles. I'll include my smb.conf for
