Which was the last version that's able to work

I sent this twice, but since nobody answered, I guess its not a "quick question" anymore. ;) Version 2.2.5 on 2.4.18-6mdk ive got the following in my smb.conf [global] add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Account' -s /bin/false -M %u workgroup = ARCHANGEL netbios aliases = CYBERCENTER PARISHCENTER netbios

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

Hi, I'm new on Samba... I'm trying to set a samba server with a DFS share. I have found this example: # The smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = SAMBA host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /export/dfsroot msdfs root = yes then I must create some link into /export/dfsroot: root# cd /export/dfsroot root# chown root /export/dfsroot root# chmod 755 /export/dfsroot root# ln -s

What is msdfs? What can you do with it that you could not do without it? David

Hello, I'm running samba 2.2 on FreeBSD 4.4. I was wondering if there was a way to sync up the samba and FreeBSD user passwords so that when either via the unix passwd or samba's smbpasswd program a user changes a password it is changed through both systems? If anyone is dong this successfully please let me know. Thanks. Dave.

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped. (mostly) Connecting to shares still works. Navigating the tree till works. Changing (DOS) attributes still works. But actually opening files and reading the contents doesn't work. The client just times out (Win 3.11, and

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Hello, I am wondering if Samba cares what types of files you are putting onto the server and if this effects the performance of the server. Attempts to copy various file types to my Samba 2.2.5 RH7.3 server have given mixed results. I appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you. Sincerely, Robert Dempsey Atlantic Dominion Solutions

Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

I have had this problem for more than one year and have asked this same question twice on this list without any answears for past two years. So I assume that this question is quite difficult unless I really missed something, :-). We are using Samba 2.2.0 on RedHat 7.2 with domain authentication on NT 4.0 server. We are using NTbackup on a NT BDC to backup samba shares via mapped drives. The

While looking further into our load problems with Samba, and specifically with logins, I bumped up our debug level to 10. This has me really worried: in log.smb, I now see that *every other* chdir logged is to *my* home directory. Why? It's not in the source, that I can see. It's not in smb.conf or in our logon script. It looks like each and every user that logs on "passes

Hi folks, we're running Samba 2.0 on a SuSE 5.3 based System and I have two questions about an authentication issue: 1: I cannot connect to SWAT as user root because of authentication failure ("invalid password"). We're using shadow password and I compiled the Samba-suite with "-Wshadow". 2. We've a share to which every user connects as himself. File permissions

My name is Angelica Nunes and I work at TV Globo Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. I need some help about the SAMBA software. Our system is based on Silicon Graphics' machines, models: Indy, Impact, Onyx and Indigo using Operational System Irix 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4. We must upgrade all these systems to Irix 6.5 version. We would like to know which samba version is compatible with Irix 6.5? Where do I can

I'm running Samba 2.2.3 with winbind for authentication. Much to my surprise, I found I had a need to connect an MS-DOS system to the network. I'm using MSCLIENT to do so. I can successfully log into the domain and map drives on Windows NT servers, but I'm having trouble mapping Samba shares. Examining the log shows that the DOS machine is apparently trying to connect with a username

Dear Sirs, is there a tool which performs check between /etc/passwd and PREFIX/private/smbpasswd ? (I mean different UID when username is the same, missing entries, duplicate entries, etc....) Regards, Ilia Chipitsine

Hello, I am trying to change my passwd via windows password utility.
