Hi everybody, I set up Samba 3.0alpha1.9 on a RH7.2 and I want to configure it as a Primary Domain Controller.

I have had this problem before. Never really got to the bottom of it but if you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable authentication. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Myers [mailto:myersjj@us.ibm.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 21:08 To: SAMBA@SAMBA.ORG Subject: RE: [Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate I had already done that, so it must be

Did you make sure localhost resolves? Also, depending on your /etc/resolv.conf, you may have to fully qualify the host's name including the DNS domain. I seem to rember having problems with this, and some combination of using localhost or hostname.domain.edu or using the actual IP address of the host cleared up the problem.

Hello All! I have Samba Version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-2. Just recently I tried to join the domain using the Win2k Wizard with no success. This functionality worked in the previous version of Samba V. 2.2.3a. If I'm on the same subnet though, it works like a charm. The error I receive is the following: "The following error occurred validating the name "mydomain" The specified

Hi guys, I'm been following samba for six or seven odd months now in preparation for moving our organisation over to a file server which is a little more cost effective than the Micro$oft alternative. We are currently running with about 30 users on a Windows 2000 Small Business Server. Do you see any problems in replacing this server with a linux box running Samba? Is the file

As the list probably already knows I'm fairly new to Linux / Samba. Please bare with me. =) I've managed to compile Samba-2.2.4.

Hello All, I am setting up a samba backup UNIX box. It will periodically login onto a windoze box(with smbclient), pickup the files, and save them. The problem is that I couldn't make any error correction in case of power blackout or anything similar. That is, while backing up, if I shutdown the WIN machine, one I'm backing up, smbclient goes crazy, giving broken pipe error.

Hi, I would like to know, what's the importance of sid and rid, for: 1) a win2k to samba migration, with roaming profiles 2) brand new domain on samba, with roaming profiles If rid and sid need to be migrated to a samba+ldap how do I do it? Another thing is, I've read in ldap-smb-HEAD-howto.html that the builtin accounts are implemented internally in the samba server. Does this mean I

Hi ! I installed a SNF 7.20 firewall and a Samba/Debian PDC. I wonder if it's possible to restrict web/ftp/mail access according to user's group ... (the only way I now would be to restrict access according to IP adresses but I'm not interrested in this solution). Is there a way to do it with Samba (I guess no but any idea would help ...)

Hi I've just built a Debian 3.0 Woody Samba server with version 2.23a. Using stable rather than unstable. After putting it into a network with another Samba server I find that the Win98 client machines can't connect to it but they can connect to the other server. The other server is set to OS level 65 and the new one is somewhere below that. I've run all the usual tests and they
