similar to: Strange crashes and disconnection from PDC?

No big surprise there. :) I'm still trying to figure exactly what goes on with the machine password changing around. Who initiates this? nmbd? The PDC? Who's notified of this change, and what's going on there. Perhaps someone can shed some light? -- Nir Soffer -=- Software Engineer, Exanet Inc. -=- "Father, why are all the children weeping? / They are merely crying son O, are

I might be missing obvious here, but here goes: Samba 2.2.4. Using "winbind use default domain = <DOMAIN>" option usernames map correctly, however, when logging on from an W2K machine I still get the autogenerated UID instead of my NIS (Or /etc/passwd) UID. Both nis and files precede winbind in /etc/nsswitch.conf Commenting out winbind from /etc/nsswitch.conf works, which

All, I am having trouble with the getent passwd and getent group command. I am using 2.2.4-4 version of Samba on a redhat system with 2.4.18-SMP kernel. This issue seems to be intermittent. Sometimes is works and others it doesnt. More often than not, it failes. I can do a wbinfo -g and -u and get the info so I am connected to the doamin, but not getent. This will affect my users from loging

Hi there, i'd like to use NIS (AIX based) to authenticate the samba-users (to implement samba enterprise wide) in "using samba" is an option which should be configured (--with-nis) (NOT the --with-nisplus option) now i got 2.2.5 (source) - but in "configure" this option is missing Was this dropped in version 2.2.5 ? Which was the last version that's able to work

Hi, Most of the samba-commands takes a option for smb.conf file exept for wbinfo. It should be nice to have that functionallity in wbinfo also. /Patrik -- "In a world without fences who needs Gates" Patrik Gustavsson, Senior Technical Consultant patrik.gustavsson@sun.com Telephone: +46 60 671540 http://glen.sweden Mobile: +46 70 3551040 SUN MICROSYSTEMS

I believe that I've found a bug on Samba 2.2.3a. Sure, there is the 2.2.5 version out there, but reading the changelog I couldn't find something that looked like what I've found. Problem is: Some files (very few of them, about 0,5%) are created, with 2 another copies. The file witch would be the real one is perfect. And we got "for free" 2 corrupted copies of it, with

Looks like inet_aton has cropped up again, in libsmbclient.c: if (!inet_aton(server, &rem_ip)) { DEBUG(4, ("Could not convert IP address %s to struct in_addr\n", server)); errno = ENOENT; return NULL; } This function doesn't exist in Solaris, and causes this shared library to fail to link, when called by other programs (notably KDE 3): Undefined

Hi all, i had everything samba working PERFECT a few days ago, meantime something has changed or something i've changed, i know not what, is causing me to not be able to authenticate domain users... it just plain doesn't work. i haven't changed anything in /etc/pam.d/, but i checked on it and everything there is still ok.... wbinfo -u lists all the users just swell. One wierd thing

Hello All, I am having a problem with samba's ability to interpret certain files with windows 2k clients. Setup Details: Linux ( RedHat 7.3 ) File Server Win 2k Clients Samba v2.2.3a Kernel 2.4.18 statically compiled. Problem Description: When copying jpegs from a Win2k client which is displaying the JPEGS in thumbnail mode, to the Linux / Samba file server, 3 files are copied as

Hi there! I appear to be having problems with trusted domains using 3.0a21. Using Samba as a member server, as user "nirs" on domain "Exanet-il" I am unable to log on to a member server ("snow") who is a member of the "Exanet-qa" domain. The "exanet-qa" is supposed to trust "exanet-il", and it all worked with 2.2 . This is the relevant

Hi Folks, I'm trying out some ideas for loadbalancing Samba servers with some replication underneath. Right now, we're trying to use DNS round robin, just to see if it works, but it isn't. Our basic config is that we have the same share and NMB server name on every node. Each node has a different IP hostname, which are all round-robin'ed to a single hostname. When we try to

Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently init_domain_list blocks until it finds something, and process_loop is only called afterwards. Am I right? I can patch up wbinfo to accept a command line argument for where to read smb.conf, while this will _still_ be an ugly hack, it'll be less ugly, and at least more usable. Will you accept it for 2_2?

Hye, we use a samba 2.2.3a which works fine most time. now i found that one client has some strange problems. when the user copies files to the smb-share some of them will be created with very strange filenames. For example let's say the original file is named: my_nicetestfile.txt then on the server the file will be created as my_nic~1.txt and also a file will be created called

I am having a hard time understanding just what 'sweep' does. The documentation states: Return an array obtained from an input array by sweeping out a summary statistic. So what does it mean "weeping out a summary statistic"? Thank you. Kevin

Hi all, Occasionally, DIDs from different providers stop working for some reason. I would like to be able to monitor situations like that and react before any of my clients start going ballistic on me. Any ideas? Scripts you know of or wrote and willing to share? Any info?would be greatly appreciated. ? Robert ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I use ext3 over RAID1+0 LUN. When I disconnect my fiber cable to the RAID (in order to force a migration to a failover node) I expect to see I/O errors and then a failure to write/read to the filesystem, but in addition I get an Assertion failure. The end result is of course an unusable system which needs to be rebooted. (I reboot the system via machine_restart which works okay but I guess

Hello, I have read over all of the FAQ's I could find, read all of the documnetation that I could find and still I cannot find an answer to the following problem. When I use the smbclient to check to see if Samba is working correctly I get the following response. This is running on Solaris 7 on a Sun box. If you need any other info please let me know. Any help would be very much

Hello, which .tdb files in /var/lib/samba are safe to remove (rebuilt automatically)? Long story: I have posted a couple of times lately regarding some mysterious freeze effects we've been having on the clients. We have now tried 2.2.4, 2.2.7a (this one makes it even worse) and 2.999 (3.0 pre-X) and have the same trouble on all. It seems the same configuration does NOT cause this

I have set up Samba so that all users on my small network can read from my one of my Linux shares as well as write to that share. However, when user A saves a file to that share, user B can't open it -- and vice versa. How can I set up samba so that all files written to that share can be read, modified, and deleted by all users? Thanks in advance for an answer to this question.
