similar to: Synchronizing 2 samba linux servers

hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

Ok, here's my setup: I've had a samba file server going for about a year now. It's Samba v2.05a on a RH6.0 sys. Currently we have a printer server running on a Winblows NT box. This NT box has the following printers: HP5si, (4) HP4000, and a few HP4s. All of those printers have Jet Direct ports on them. What I want to do is, move all the printers over to the Samba box and KILL the NT

I am looking at putting the medisoft application on a samba share. I was wondering if there is currently anyone using this configuration and if so then what are some of the problems that I might encounter. The app is currently being hosted on a Winxp pro machine and I need to move it to a server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Scott Swaim

Hi all I am working on a heavy engineering project. And the requirement is that I needto do a lot of process before I store the data to the db. Now the question is that I want to do the process that I am doing but I want to do it in the background. What I actually mean to say is that..I just want the user to get a msg that Records Saved. But in real I want the process to go on in background.

Hello all. First, a little background... I recently downloaded samba-*-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk , installed on Mandrake 8.2 and got everything working fine. I have LDAP installed for "single sign-on" support. I can use LDAP to authenticate other Linux boxes, and have Samba as a PDC for some Win2000 boxes - all working fine. Linux users are the same as PDC users, except for their passwords

Hi, I'm trying to set up a single sign-on system across both linux and windows with a Samba3 PDC and OpenLDAP backend. I've been trying to follow the documentation included with Samba3 but I don't seem to be having much success. So I have few questions. #1: What services are necessary for this to work? I know smbd, nmbd and slapd are for sure required. But I can't figure

If this question has been asked and answered, I am sorry but I searched and could not find it. Is it possible to have a samba PDC on the same server as a winbindd pointing to that samba PDC. The reason I want to do this is that I want the capability winbindd provides for a single sign on for things UNIX and the samba PDC for all things Windows. I don't want to have to run two boxes (if I

Anyone else having problems with inbound Broadvoice this morning? -- Chris Tooley / Network and Development Services Networking Technologies Resource Center, LLC (NTRC) 8650 Spicewood Springs Road, Suite 105 Austin TX 78759 512-250-8985 / Fax 512-250-5909 www.ntrc.net / www.ntrcstore.com

We're trying to set up linux based workstations that use a win2k AD/DC for authentication, and pam_mount to mount a share as the user's home directory. It looks like winbind isn't passing on the credentials (although it is getting us logged in). If anyone has made this work, I'd love the details. It looks like winbind isn't passing the auth information thanks jim

I have been following the development ot Samba 3.0 with great interest. There is something that still confuses me. Can Samba 3.0 join a Windows 2000 network as a domain controller and replicate Active Directory information with existing Windows 2000 domain controllers? If Samba 3.0 is the only domain controller on a network with Windows 2000/XP clients, will the clients see it as a domain

I have Samba 3.0.0rc1 installed on a linux server DC-01 and it's configured as a PDC. The only share it has is netlogon. Users are stored in an LDAP passdb. All our users' home directories are on a second linux server, FS-01. It's been joined to the domain (command "sudo net join -U Administrator", which is the name of the "root" account). And here's a

Hi Everybody, maybe we are just too stupid, but for me it seems that there is some problem with holding passwords completely sync between *NIX-world and WIN-world when I use LDAP & Samba. If a user changes a password under Windows, with "passwd chat" the *NIX-Password (attribute: userPassword) can be changend very well besides the both Samba-LDAP-attributes lmPassword and

Well, after some other pretty horrible issues with sessionid.tdb (which I think are fixed by upgrading the version of Samba on the client to 2.2.2 as well), I have some other fun. I am now getting these messages (starting the day before yesterday): Dec 11 15:29:48 filecabinet smbd[12498]: [2001/12/11 09:29:48, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(40) Dec 11 15:29:48 filecabinet smbd[12498]:

That's pretty much the question. I've got Symantec NAVCE running on my NT server protecting itself, the Windows clients and the Exchange server, but what do i do about my Linux based Samba server? Will a linux based AV app search for Win32 based viruses? Thanks, VeKTeReX

I have a single AD domain with 4 domain controllers (win2k-not native mode). I want all users to login to AD (clients from 98 to XP - no linux clients yet). This is a school network with 4 campuses connected by wireless links (hence the 4 domain controllers) and I would like to put a samba server at each location for student home directories (basically a NAS setup to start with). There will

Hi All, Can anybody point me to a site where there is good up to date documentation on how to use Win2000 authentication for a samba server? Thanks, Craig

hi, i've setup a LDAP server with account information, and compiled samba with ldap support. everything works great, except for the password changes i still have to run two seprate commands ( passwd, smbpasswd ) to change a users password. i've tried to put the pam_smbpasswd.so module into system-auth, but that does work? any pointers? thanks adriaan putter

I just installed samba 2.2.7 on Mandrake 9 with OpenLDAP support. I have set up OpenLDAP and everything is cool. When I try to add a user I get: [root@luna openldap]# smbpasswd -a jim New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Connect error Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Connect error Failed to add entry for user jim. Failed to modify password

I installed the RPMS from samba web site for Mandrake 9.1. Configuration is weird as things are labeled smbd3 or winbind3... Testparm runs against /etc/samba/smb.conf yet swat configures the smb.conf in a different location...hmm.... But really my problem is joining the AD domain as a member server. I can't locate the net tool. How is this done? How does testparm know to test against

Hello all, So I am trying to get a qemu guest to use a custom patched seabios image rather than the default /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin I have tried changing the domain config file to include either: <os> --SNIP-- <loader readonly='yes' type='rom'>/home/telemin/qemu/seabios_patched.bin</loader> </os> OR domain type='kvm'
