Hi, A weird problem ... My PDC is running samba 3.0 cvs from a couple of weeks ago. the os level is set to 65 and that machine has been the master for my domain for ages, until last night. A win2k client machine stoll the domain and made itself the master for the domain, hence a few problems. I have cranked the os level to 80, however I'm pretty sure that is not supported/a bad idea/not to be

I'm using samba head cvs from 01/08/02 with ldap support. I have set some global groups up, however when i run the command (from win2k client) net group it /DOMAIN i get system error 5 access is denied.

Hi, I have a samba 3.0 current CVS from 01/08 running with ldap as the backend. It been working fine for the past few week until late last week. I can join a machine to the domain and I get an entry in ldap one in ou=computers and one in ou=users (as normal). Everything looks fine until you try to login to the win2k box. When you hit enter after typing in username + passwd you get an error

I went to download samba 2.2.2 but to my shock and horror and couldn't find the old directory on the us2 ftp site.

Hiya, I have recently upgrade samba to 3.0.1pre1 from alpha3-19. The upgrade went well with no real problems, except ..... I have noticed today that the load on the LDAP server is extremely high. CPU usage on slapd is anywhere between 10%-80%. At one point to day everything came to a grinding halt. The only difference between I can think of is the samba upgrade. This is with an average load of

Hi, After a successful upgrade from samba3alpha19 to samba3.0.1pre1 I am now doing the group mapping stage. The problem I am having is modifying a group in the LDAP directory.

Hi all, Last week we were infected with the Nimda virus. Our machines are clear now but I was wondering if there was a way in samba to stop .eml files being created on shares. As this virus spreads through shares on machines samba shares are vulnerable. Any ideas?? P.S. All of our e-mail is virused scanned, so no problem there ------------- Kristyan Osborne IT Technician Longhill High School

The only difference is in the students file it

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has played with Microsoft's SMS 2003? I've got a Samba 3 PDC using an LDAP backend, and a Windows 2003 server running SMS 2003. The SMS 2003 setup moans that it cannot verify the service account in the domain. Its reasons are it cannot connect to the domain as either the user account does not have access to the domain or the domain controller is down. I know

Hi, I've looked though the archives but i've only found stuff on smbfs. What is the deal with the 2GB limit. I have a NT box do a backup though windows backup to a samba share (samba 2.2.5 on SUSE 7.1 kernel 2.4.18). When it gets to 2GB it stops and won't go any further. Is this a problem with samba, windows or the kernel??. Cheers -------------- Kristyan Osborne - IT

Hi, You can use the command net rpc shutdown -S <machine name> to remotly shutdown a PC. Is it possible to, or could it possibly be a future upgrade to have a comma separated list of machines so that you can shutdown several machines at one time. Ie at the end of the day to shutdown PC's in a particular classroom? What are your thoughts?? Cheers ----------------- Kristyan

few day ago, i've asked about mapping unix-windows groups under samba 2.2.7a. now, i know that it is impossible. so i've changed samba on my PDC to 3.0 version (smbgroupedit). but still i've got problems with groups. before - from another machine when i've used 'wbinfo -g'i've got response from my PDC: Domain Admins Domain Users after change to samaba 3.0 with the

I dont think its a OS problem, Im using suse 8.1. If you log into the windows box as root you can see the groups and the users in the groups. Any other user including domain admins can not. This would indicate that there is a problem with samba, either with ACLs accessing group information or passing group/user information from the system to a smbd process owned by a user other than root.

One of my users complained that his Win2kSP2 complains that his password Is going to expire in 8 days. A while ago we changed from Win2k domain to a Samba 2.2.3a controlled domain. How do I disable the password expiration? I read the man pages and searched Google but couldn't find any hints about the issue. It almos seems like this expiration thing should not be happening at all...?
