Hi We've noticed that we get zero length files left behind on Samba shares after printing to a Samba printer, of the form NExx: (appears as NExx~yy) from Windows due to name mangling. This only occurs in specific circumstances: Client running NT4 (SP6a) and Printing file on a Samba share and Printing to a Samba printer and Running particular applications (e.g. Word and Acrobat, but not

(each a few hundred Mb) onto different Samba shares. From a W2000 workstation, started another copy of similar directory onto another Samba share. Everything runs fine for 5-10 minutes, then one of the NT4 copies hangs with "Unable to copy file ... Session cancelled" or "Unexpected network error occurred". Typically one or other of the other NT4 copies also then fails. The

Hi I've run into a problem when simultaneously copying directories onto our Samba server (RH7.1, Samba 2.2.2, 10Mb ethernet):

Hi Haven't seen any responses to my earlier post (Transferring PDC duties to Samba) so here's a slightly different approach I'm trying which someone can hopefully shed some light on. Is it possible to transfer domain-specific data from an NT4 PDC to a Samba 2.2.2 server, switch off the NT4 machine, set up smb.conf, switch on the Samba box such that the attached NT4/Win2000

Hello. I'd like to advertise the LLVM back end I developed in the last 2 years for the research Connex wide SIMD processor, which can have up to 4096 lanes. The Connex SIMD processor is designed to run efficiently BLAS routins, is an easily reconfigurable low-power processor with scratchpad memory, a shift register for inter-lane communication, a hardware sum-reduction tree and

Hi, I have a smbpasswd file from a Samba-2.0.x, generated with pwdump2 [1] . I'm in a NT-PDC to Samba-PDC migration. The documentation says that it generates Samba-2.0 style smbpasswd file [2]. But I would like to use the smbpasswd on a Samba-2.2.x machine. I've read that smbpasswd format changed . Is there a tool to convert smbpasswd from 2.0 to 2.2 ? I cannot find one. Any URL or

Hi, I want to switch from our Windows NT server ( which works as our PDC ) to Linux - Samba. Could you advice a step-by-step guide about this process, or is that possible, at all? Can I use Samba as a BDC, convert the user DB and than promote it to PDC? Thanks in advance! Regards; Istvan

There appear to be significant hurdles to migrating from a Microsoft to Samba PDC environment, something which I've been trying to do now for many months. The difficulties arise in moving user's accounts over to Samba 1. Local profiles. It does not seem to be possible to move from an NT4 PDC to a Samba PDC while retaining local profiles. NT4/W2k machines consider logons to the Samba PDC

Hello, I'm finding migration Windows 2003 AD to Samba + LDAP solution. I seen there can use pwdump2 to dump all accounts information in Windows 2003. I tried it but only can dump local account not AD accounts, cound anyone share some experience to me ?

I am so stoked I just had to share this with y'all. I just "SEAMLESSLY" migrated all of my machines and users over to my new Gentoo Linux Server. I even kept the same: domain name and old PDC NetBios name. The trickiest part was getting all of the users to keep their same profile, but I managed that by cloning the RID and Lanman/NT hashes for the user accounts. Free at last! #

Using samba 3.05 and the point and print features how does one setup tcp/ip ports for printing. After having loaded the print drivers using the APW all the printer ports show a local port on the samba server and all of my printers use a 192.168.10.X address. Is there anyway this can automatically happen without user intervention. I wasn't able to locate this info in the how to's.

I am having nearly the EXACT same problem as http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2003-December/033315.html I have samba 3.0.1-1 rpms and fedora core 1. Samba is set as a WINS server, which the win2k machines, who use DHCP from router, are pointed to by the WINS server address specified in router(each of the win2k machines, via ipconfig /all reveal they do in fact use the wins server).

I am having trouble getting the cupsaddsmb script to work to add the drivers. Everything seems to work (it copies the drivers to the correct directories), but I keep getting the result NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL error message on the rpcclient setdriver command. When trying to connect to the printer from a 2K client, I see a client-error-not-found error in the log. I can't seem to find

Hi list, hi John, having seen last week a post (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?m=107341768923846) that remind me some quirks I encountered, I'd like to see a preamble added to the chapter 12 of the howto. It concerns the diffent types of admin you will need in a PDC setup. I say preamble, but it could be found anywhere else, as long as it could be found (I have lost long hours

Hi all, I can add my W2K machines to the Samba 3.0.5pre1 with no problems, but I can not add my XP machines. Existing XP machines work fine, but when I try to add new XP machine it does not work.

When doing simple: net rpc file -Untadmin With ntadmin being a user belonging to properly groupmapped domain admins, (with rid 512), including cases with ntadmin being rid=500 itself, I always get: [2010/06/30 15:06:46.272578, 2] auth/auth.c:304(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [ntadmin] -> [ntadmin] -> [ntadmin] succeeded [2010/06/30

Hi list, After reading a lot in the mailing list and the official Samba 3 howto, i am still unable to give domain admin rights to a user, so that he gets admin rights on all workstations in the domain. Here is what i have: - Samba 3.08 PDC, config: [global] workgroup = ANT netbios name = ANTSRV netbios aliases = RUN KITS HOMES LIB PRINTERS server string = ANT Samba

I'm running samba 2.2.2-6 on a redhat 7.2 box running 2.4.9-7 kernel... I'm trying to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client. I've followed the instructions in the samba howto collection. I've created the print$ share, created the printer directory and subdirs, and made sure they are writeable by me. I put myself in the write list and the printer admin list.

This weekend, we're replacing a customer's Windows 2003 server with a Samba box. They lost their Windows media and we can't reset the administrator password, so we can't even login to the server to examine it. The best we can do is to boot Knoppix and copy the filesystem onto an external USB drive, to recover their files. We're not sure how we will recover their Exchange mail
