similar to: Is Samba running on a Dual boot system while using w2k ?

Hi list, as a result of horrible error logs and no sleep I would be able to throw my smb2.2.4 out of the window and take a phone call to dell for a nt box ... but I'll try once again. I know, this is the wrong list, but maybe here I get more Developers. My simple question is: If my PDC (WinS -> named, system is SuSE 7.3 but newest versions of all relevant software) won't run as smooth

Hello, I'd like to see if I can get some clarification on what is the preferred method of starting the Samba daemons (note that we are using Solaris, not Linux). This is something that I'm not able to find any explanation of in any of the Samba 3 documentation that I've looked at so far. In Samba 2 I would have the Samba daemons started up by the following in my /etc/inetd.conf:

Hi I wonder if you can help me. I'm currently studying Networking as a college course and one of the challenges we have been set is to research, then put into practice the mapping of a linux server onto a Windows NT server. I'll be honest with you, I'm very new to all this so I hope I explain this correctly. I have successfully created my own smb.conf file, usernames, areas and a

Hi, (sorry for my english I'm a telecomunications student from spain) I'm building a PDC with samba from a ldapbackend which was created without samba attributes...it's a very big database...does someone know how can I add the samba attributes to all users..? and what attributes I have to add so that the pdc have the next characteristics: - backend openldap(replica-server,it's

Hello. I'm trying to implement a single-sign-on system with MIT-Kerberos and OpenLDAP. These two are currently working pretty well, but now I'm trying to add samba to this system. I've found a lot of tutorials about samba PDC with LDAP backend, but this is of course not quite what I want. My passwords are stored in the kerberos database and userdata is stored in LDAP. Is there a way to

I was told recently that Kerberos authentication won't work against a non-windows KDC. Is that accurate? So for instance, it is not possible for Samba running on say RHEL, to authenticate against a Linux server running MIT Kerberos? Additionally, many people said that setting this up was well-documented. Any suggestions of particularly good docs / how-to's?' And lastly, is

I am trying, after login that samba will go directly to thei users home directory. But it doesn't happen. Please help. Here is my setup: logon home = \\%N\%U [homes] comment = %U's Home Directory valid users = %S read only = Yes browseable = no ## path = %H create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 guest ok = no printable = no

Hi everybody. I attended the Samba conference at the FOSDEM yesterday. Jeremy Allison was great, and explained very clearly the problems faced by implementing an Active Directory controller. The CIFS protocol is required in heterogenous environments. Jeremy made it pretty clear that even in pure Unix environments, CIFS is quite superior to NFSv4. Samba is thus a required component of pretty

My apologies, I'm terribly sorry to belabor these PDC issues to the point where everyone is undoubtedly tired of hearing about them, but I have become absolutely obsessed with trying to solve this PDC problem. Here is what is happening now. I'm trying to connect to the Samba server which is set up as the PDC (domain PLAB) from windows client "venus". Windows prompts me to

The subject's a little misleading really, but I was looking for some clarification of my thoughts... In Windows, one can use both share permissions and NTFS permissions to control access to files. I would normally use share permissions to control a connection (allow/deny), and use NTFS to control access. I would never use share permissions to control access whilst NTFS was capable of

Dear List, We have just bought: * Dual AMD CPU, 8TB NAS, 4GB RAM (DNUK.COM) - SUSE 9.3 * Two Dell 2850, 3GB RAM, Dual Xeon 3.2GHz, 300GB Raid 5 - Fedora Core 4 Now obviously we want to use the Storage ;-) How would you guys recommend we proceed? Samba PDC on one 2850, LDAP Directory on second, and somehow mount the storage for the shares? Or run the PDC on the NAS, and keep the LDAP

Hello, Sorry to be a pest, but I need to try to get some clarification of how the machine name works when setting up a machine account on the Samba server. The Samba How-To page http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html#id2536400 talks about the "common error" of including the $ in the machine name on the server machine. However, all of the

Hello, is anyone successfully sharing a ext3 partition between windows and linux? Which software do you use under (which) windows? Was it easy to setup? TIA and Regards, Helge

Hi: The home directory isn't being maped to a letter (as in netuse h: /home). After the user chooses the machine the user must login, he then sees in the window a folder with the same name as his userid. The user must then choose this folder to enter his home directory. I want him to go directly into the folder without having to choose it. Regards,

Does anyone have any examples of using realtime database driven call parking lots.

I also need to be able to use the same parking extension pool for each tenant but sand box them into sperate lots. We have been able to do this for every

hi, Are there any alternative authentication methods for Samba? Other thank the smbpasswd file? I'd like to do PostgreSQL or mySQL. Why? Because I can do Exim/IMAP/POP3 Apache/Zope with SQL, if I could do Samba it would wrap it up into one nice DB for authentication. It does not have to be much, just the ability to get the data from a SQL query rather than a flat file query. Anyone

Hi all, I apologize if I am getting into a subject that has been hashed and rehashed endlessly on this list, but I am just not finding exactly what I am looking for in terms of a response. At the moment, I have Linux and Solaris servers happily authenticating to my MIT Kerberos KDC, and fetching user information via an OpenLDAP server with a StartTLS connection (and authenticating to the LDAP
