Did anybody get to work password change enforcement with Samba PDC running LDAP ? It looks like it is "semi-working". I was able to enforce password change with USRMGR, but now it keeps asking me for the password change every time. I checked the pwdMustChange attribute and it is still set to 0 for some reason (hence checkbox for the password change enforcement in USRMGR is still checked

Hi all, I've compiled samba --with-quotas, turned on user and group quotas on ext3, assigned quotas, BUT it does not seem to be working. Windows client always shows all available space instead of showing the quota. Do I miss something ? P.S. I run Debian with 2.4.19 kernel patched for ext3 ACL support (from acl.bestbits.at). -- Yuri Pismerov, Sr. System Administrator, TUCOWS.COM INC.

A stupid question. With new printing system (spoolss) how people restrict access to the printers ? It was clear with the old system when each printer was in a separate share. I could assign a list of valid users for each printer share. TIA. -- Yuri Pismerov, Sr. System Administrator, TUCOWS.COM INC. (416) 535-0123 ext. 1352

I've noticed the list has pretty low answer:question ratio. I tend to think that many replies go directly to people who post the questions and those people never bother to share the answers with the community. I don't think this is fair so we may want to do something in this regard. We either need certain rules that will imply posting of summaries (as {SUN,LINUX}managers lists do), or the

Hi, I've been unable to get samba to work with ldap over ssl or tls on a solaris 9 machine. I thought that the ldap in solaris 9 supports tls natively now. However I still get the error in my log file : > [2002/09/02 16:35:10, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_open_connection(202) > ldap_open_connection: Secure connection not supported by LDAP client > libraries! > [2002/09/02

We've applied SP1 for WinXP on several machines and now roaming profiles don't work them.

I've connected a BSD machine to a WinME machine in the office to begin experimenting with samba. I've been messing about with it but I can't get a print of samba files to the WinME printer. My /var/spool/lpd/canon directory contains .config, .seq, status and lock files and a whole bunch of files that aren't getting printed to the remote printer. my .config file has: server=ICE1

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old

Hi folks, I'm trying to use a custom dfree command to have my Samba share reports accurate disk usage, here my dfree script (I pretty much copied it right off the smb.conf man page) #!/bin/sh /bin/df -k $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2" "$4}' In smb.conf, I included this line: dfree command = /usr/local/admin/samba-2.2.4/bin/dfree This dfree command is root owned,

Hi All, I am sure that you have all read this email a thousand times before, but I am having problems getting the information together and checking that what I think I can do, can be done :) At the moment, we currently have 3 or 4 sources of authentication.

Hello there, I'm running 2.2.5 compiled with ACL and LDAP auth. The PDC used to work flawlessly using smbpasswd but I want to dual boot the workstations to Linux so I need a centralized LDAP authentication repository. Once I reinstalled the LDAPized samba I started populating the directory with the "well-known" identities using the smbldap tools (bear in mind I'm more of a

Correct me if I'm wrong. With Samba 2.2.5, there is no way to get a group of users to manage printers so they be able to select/deselect duplex mode, tray, etc. Although I'm able to add a group with the Security tab and give them appropriate permissions, it doe not work from the user side - all the settings are still grayed out. P.S. I use LDAP backend if that matters. -- Yuri

We are unable to call certain 800 numbers through Teliax but I thought I would post this here and see if anyone else had the same problem with either Teliax or other carriers. The 800 numbers causing problems pick-up the call right away and are in the US - American Airlines (8004337300) and Staples (800-378-2753) - we can call many other 800 numbers just fine.
