similar to: Weekly machine password changes (RE: RE: odd: everything SHOULD work... winbind)

Hi all, i had everything samba working PERFECT a few days ago, meantime something has changed or something i've changed, i know not what, is causing me to not be able to authenticate domain users... it just plain doesn't work. i haven't changed anything in /etc/pam.d/, but i checked on it and everything there is still ok.... wbinfo -u lists all the users just swell. One wierd thing

Has anyone out there successfully gotten pam_mount and winbind working together successfully? --thanks ________________________________________ David M. Leuser, II Assistant Network Administrator New Hampton School (603) 744-3182 x121 dleuser@newhampton.org

Hi all, I'm a new samba junkie. I just installed samba and tried to configure winbind so that I can share my NT domain users on a Linux terminal system-- I'm not quite finished yet, however, i noticed that since I installed and configured my smb.conf, started the winbindd, etc., my terminals stopped working. Nobody on the LTSP list has replied yet, and I'm on a deadline to get this

****** The problem ****** (Finally) I have my red hat 7.2 (LTSP) system authenticating users from an NT4.0 domain using winbind... BUT after it authenticates... the screen goes blank, where it would normally load the window manager and instead of having my desktop come up, the login dialogue comes back. ******What I THINK is happening...(?)****** PLEASE HELP! I'm trying to run ICEwm and/or

G'day All Thank you to every one who has helped me get pam_mount and winbind working. I can now use winbind to use the passwords from a samba HEAD PDC to do authentications and pam_mount to mount the users home directory. YAY Does any one know what the option is to change the permissions on a mounted directory in pam_mount? at present it gives me rwxr-xr-x, which is fine. But I run startx

I might be missing obvious here, but here goes: Samba 2.2.4. Using "winbind use default domain = <DOMAIN>" option usernames map correctly, however, when logging on from an W2K machine I still get the autogenerated UID instead of my NIS (Or /etc/passwd) UID. Both nis and files precede winbind in /etc/nsswitch.conf Commenting out winbind from /etc/nsswitch.conf works, which

Hi! Samba 2.2.4, Linux. smbd loses connection to the PDC - although rest of organization feels fine...

Hi, I'm going to scream. I have a "dell-installed" red hat 7.2 build and I have been attempting to get it to join my NT4.0 domain with samba... after getting past the old version of samba that shipped with it and updating to the latest samba from the samba web site, i still can't join my domain.... Here's the kicker: I CAN JOIN a test domain I set up a few weeks ago, NT4.0

Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently init_domain_list blocks until it finds something, and process_loop is only called afterwards. Am I right? I can patch up wbinfo to accept a command line argument for where to read smb.conf, while this will _still_ be an ugly hack, it'll be less ugly, and at least more usable. Will you accept it for 2_2?

All, I am having trouble with the getent passwd and getent group command. I am using 2.2.4-4 version of Samba on a redhat system with 2.4.18-SMP kernel. This issue seems to be intermittent. Sometimes is works and others it doesnt. More often than not, it failes. I can do a wbinfo -g and -u and get the info so I am connected to the doamin, but not getent. This will affect my users from loging

SERIOUSLY.... does ANYONE have ANY ideas??? I'm stumped silly.

Hi there, i'd like to use NIS (AIX based) to authenticate the samba-users (to implement samba enterprise wide) in "using samba" is an option which should be configured (--with-nis) (NOT the --with-nisplus option) now i got 2.2.5 (source) - but in "configure" this option is missing Was this dropped in version 2.2.5 ? Which was the last version that's able to work

Hi, Most of the samba-commands takes a option for smb.conf file exept for wbinfo. It should be nice to have that functionallity in wbinfo also. /Patrik -- "In a world without fences who needs Gates" Patrik Gustavsson, Senior Technical Consultant patrik.gustavsson@sun.com Telephone: +46 60 671540 http://glen.sweden Mobile: +46 70 3551040 SUN MICROSYSTEMS

I believe that I've found a bug on Samba 2.2.3a. Sure, there is the 2.2.5 version out there, but reading the changelog I couldn't find something that looked like what I've found. Problem is: Some files (very few of them, about 0,5%) are created, with 2 another copies. The file witch would be the real one is perfect. And we got "for free" 2 corrupted copies of it, with

Looks like inet_aton has cropped up again, in libsmbclient.c: if (!inet_aton(server, &rem_ip)) { DEBUG(4, ("Could not convert IP address %s to struct in_addr\n", server)); errno = ENOENT; return NULL; } This function doesn't exist in Solaris, and causes this shared library to fail to link, when called by other programs (notably KDE 3): Undefined

Hello All, I am having a problem with samba's ability to interpret certain files with windows 2k clients.

I am having a hard time understanding just what 'sweep' does. The documentation states: Return an array obtained from an input array by sweeping out a summary statistic. So what does it mean "weeping out a summary statistic"? Thank you. Kevin

Hi Folks, I'm trying out some ideas for loadbalancing Samba servers with some replication underneath. Right now, we're trying to use DNS round robin, just to see if it works, but it isn't. Our basic config is that we have the same share and NMB server name on every node. Each node has a different IP hostname, which are all round-robin'ed to a single hostname. When we try to
