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

Hello, I am having a lot of difficulty setting up samba (2.2.6-1) on linux (REDHAT 7.2), and accessing from Win2k. I have been able to get the share working for smbclient, while on the LINUX box, but have not been able to get anything working from a Windows box. I have done the following after scouring the network for solutions. I have modified the register settings on windows to allow none

I am using samba 2.2.6pre2 from mandrake 9.0, I've set it up as PDC, When I share directories, their properties are read-only, even if I have the read/write permissions on the files. I'm able to rename/delete/create... It's a probleme for certain programs who check the file permission before some actions, Thanks for your help, here is my config file: # Samba config file created

Hi! Why don't you check up the neat utility changepassword from http://sourceforge.net. It works just wonderfully for me and also is an Open Source package which can be modified for your needs. Users at my place didn't even know they were taking their files from a Linux system until I changed to name to Linuxserver... ;-) If any help is required on this or installation you can

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 there I can't add a w2k Machine to my existing samba domain. I did configure samba as a pdc, did create all accounts and when I wanna trust my box to the pdc it tells me in a faboulous window: " The domain name "DOMAIN" is either invalid or does not exist. Any Ideas? Best Rgds Jochen

I've just upgraded my Linux (RedHat v7.2 + v2.4.17 kernel) box to Samba v2.2.3a. Now I'm ready to set up winbindd so that this box may act as a PDC. First, a little background. I have previously been using Samba 2.2.2 as a master workgroup server for Linux and Win98 clients. Now I want to add support for use as a PDC with Win2K clients. I've set up my /etc/nsswitch.conf per the

Hello, We have just migrated our large dev file server on linux+samba (Mandrake8.2+samba2.2.3a). It works almost fine but here are some question asked by some users I can't answer, after reading the manuals, the FAQs...and reading this list for a while : 1. Why can't NT clients do several levels mkdir ? I mean doing a mkdir toto/titi would create first a toto directory and then a

I am attempting to integrate a Linux Samba Server with an NT 4.0 PDC. Ideally I am looking to authenticate the users on the PDC, and then permit access to the Samba Shares on the Linux Box. I have several issues, but the one which is presenting itself currently is when I attempt to Browse the PDC using smbclient. I get the following: smbclient -L dumbo added interface ip=192.168.0.11

Good evening all, I'm running samba 2.2.2a on RedHat 7.2 as a PDC and until today all was well. One of my users upgraded their workstation to Windows Xp pro and although they received a message "Welcome to the domain" when they try to log on they receive the message that the domain comptroller cannot be located to validate their account. The workstation show up in the browse list.

Hi all, As promised, I have started a howto document on setting up Samba with NT ACL support, based on experiences in my workplace, as documentation for this seems to be on the short side at the moment. It is available at the following address: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto I have yet to convert it to proper DocBook format, and it needs more material (probably

Hi. I'm not subscribed to the list, so if you can help, please e-mail me or CC me in the response. I've been using Samba for quite a while, and just set up a 2.2.2 server with winbind support. Console logins and SMB access work fine, wbinfo -t reports "Secret is good", and wbinfo -r domain+ntuser shows the right group number. In fact, the UID/GIDs are translated properly when

Hello-- I'm working my way through setting up an email server for faculty and staff use at the school my wife teaches at, and while not a Linux whiz, am making good progress so far.
