Hi ! I'm runing a linux redhat 7.2 box with samba 2.2.4. I've downloaded the samba source in order to install it with the needed compilation options (--with-smbwrapper --with-automount --with-smbmount --with-pam ...). Samba is now up and running but I would like to build an rpm with this compiled version. Any idea of how to transform this samba compiled version to a rpm package ?

Hi ! The O'Reilly "Using Samba" book, recommend not to include smbmount support as it is for Linux only: "This feature wasn't being maintained at the time the book was written, so the Samba team made it an optional feature and provided smbwrapper instead. The smbwrapper feature works on more Unix platforms than smbmount, so you'll usually want to use --with-smbwrapper

All, For a bunch of good reasons ;), my company thinks of getting rid of our win2k DC and replacing it with a linux RH 7.3 box with samba 2.2.4 or 2.2.5. Before starting working on that, I would like to gather some basic informations. We've got solaris 2.8, linux and win2k clients machines. LDAP: I understand that I need to setup an LDAP server which will replace the win2k Active Directory

Hi list, I've installed samba 2.2.3a on my Linux box. I have to join into an NT4 domain and all works fine. I've got only a question: Now I'm able to mount the NT share with the command: mount -t smbfs -o username=morgan,password=morgan //SERVERNT/DISC /mnt and it works only if I am root. Is there any possibility of mounting it automatically on boot? I've tough about /etc/fstab but

Hi ! I'm having trouble trying to mount a win2k share from my linux box with the mount command. My linux box is a RH 7.2 and samba version is 2.2.4. It is part of the windows domain 'VALBONE' and the smb.conf option "winbind use default domain" is set to yes. So when the user slautier log into the machine, it does it without specifying the domain name. slautier is a member

Hi! I'm running a RedHat 7.2 server with Samba 2.2.3a - but recently I have a problem that mapped drives on Windows 2000 workstations get disconnected and have problems reconnecting (error message is something like "local device name already in use" when I try to browse the drive in Windows Explorer). Any idea what causes this problem ? Regards, /Brian

Hi, I'm running a linux RedHat 7.2 box with samba 2.2.4. I want to use winbind for authentification. The samba server is a member server in a W2K domain. I followed the steps in the winbind help which comes with the samba distribution (http://localhost:901/swat/help/winbind.html). Joining the domain was successfull: $ smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U toto | INFO: Debug class all level = 100

Apologies if this has been covered already, I can't find any helpful hints after 2 hours searching.... Testparm refuses to work on my e250 box - says it can't find the file? Any pointers to useful docs will be greatly appreciated (other than SAMS books and O'Rielly - been there, done that!), especially any relating to Solaris 8 and SAMBA! TIA Jo

Hello I'm searching some docs for klibc binaries. Is there any man (or doc) for these commands? I tried to use them, but didn't manage to do it. I want to use it for mounting root over nfs. Thanks Eurolines : Voyagez au meilleur prix : http://www.alinto.com/pub/

Hello, is there a way to extract an initramfs from a running kernel? and from a kernel lying on a disk? If yes, how? Thanks Eurolines : Voyagez au meilleur prix : http://www.alinto.com/pub/

I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific stuff split out into separate configs. I've tried this configuration... [root at archive kickstart]# cat

Hello what is the difference between busybox and klibc? Say, I want to use an initramfs in order to mount root over nfs, I can choose to use klibc with ipconfig and nfsmount? But I can also choose to use busybox with ifconfig and mount. So what's the difference, and why and in which case one is preferable to the other? If it's a FAQ, I'm sorry, just give me the link Thanks

I've got a home network with using win2k pro. Do I need to set Samba up as a pdc for the w2k machines to connect? Currently I've got my w2k machines set up as a workgroup and simply set up Samba as a member of that workgroup. My problem is that I cannot connect to it. I see my samba box in my network neighborhood, however, I cannot browse it. I'm running Samba 2.2.2 that came with

I have installed Samba 2.2.3a on a Solaris 2.6 box, and it has been configured with a small smb.conf that sets security = domain, workgroup = GFMNET, password server = GFMNET01, I have succesfully joined domain GFMNET (controlled by GFMNET01). I can attach to resources anywhere in the domain from this new box(E250), but any attempt to connect to its resources results in failed authentication. I

Hi, PDC works fine, but Samba BDC doesn't make its job. In srvmgr.exe PDC, BDC appear, but when I kill smb PDC's process, normaly BDC may give a response to smb request. My problem...
