Hi, I have installed Samba 2.2.8 on a Solaris 8 server and have a question about samba passwords. I know you can assign an NT server to authenticate passwords, and you can also use samba to create a smbpasswd list. My question, is can you use the existing UNIX /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file so that we don't have to manage another list? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, using samba 2.2.5; security=server connecting as user1 (user logged in on PC) works (12:28:55), disconnecting and connecting as another user2 (not the user logged in on PC) works too (12:30:22), but disconnecting and connecting again as user1 (user logged in on PC) fails (12:34:29) as well as user2 (12:38:19). It seems it works only once and never again after one time logged in as user2 ?

Hello all, I've got a problem when I try to change a password from W2K or XP on a samba 2.2.5 - server. That's the situation: The user "hugo" is logged on locally or in a domain "first" with his password "secret". The user has shares on a secound domain, the "samba" domain, too. The user can do a net use M: \\samba\share to get the share on the

Hello together. I have a Problem with my local Fileserver. Scince a few days Win98 Clients a not possible to access Directorys deeper than one Directory.. For example: \\rechner\cinema is avaible, but if the Clients access a subdirectory \\rechner\cinema\bad_movie, then the Win98 Clients get a message that the Directory doesn't exist.

Hi I have Win2k servers connecting to the samba server by mapping a windows user to unix user. We never had any problems with thsi connectivity but for past 2 weeks we have an erratic problem which causes the windows account to lock thus making samba unfunctional. When I get the windows account unlocked then samba starts functioning properly again. I do not have a scenario to reproduce the

Greetings: I tried to install M$ Encarta over my internal network onto my kids' Windoze 2K machine tonight; the Encarta install stuff is in a vfat partition on the Samba server. The install started, then quit about 14% of the way through - the connection to the Samba server apparently was lost - the installer began complaining about being unable to find the CD-ROM, and I was unable to browse

Hi, I'm trying to test Samba 3.0.0 beta 1, and so far, one problem I have spent the last couple hours trying to solve, is a problem I am having joining the domain with an NT4 workstation. The samba server is a PDC, and when I try to join the workstation to the samba controlled domain using the root account (which worked on Samba 2.2.8 just fine), I get a message on the NT workstation that it

Good morning, I am posting msgs on the NON OPERATION of WINBIND. GOOD I should say that without I had made any change in the system it started to work in an of my facilities. INCREDIBLE but it worked. The problem now is that I tried log in the samba not previously using an user servant in the smbpasswd and him of autentication mistake. But should not WINBIND facilitate that? Do I need to have user

The problem: Strangely, the PDC rejects user password challenges from Samba. The user account gets locked. After unlocking the account, everything is back to normal. This happens several times a day to different users and from different Samba servers. All Samba servers have the same [global] configuration. Is this a Samba problem? Is samba perhaps not passing along the correct password? If I add

Hi, Recently i moved from samba 2.0.5a to Samba 2.0.6 on 4 machines. Samba 2.0.5a ran quite smooth except for oplocking problems, so i decided to upgrade. I compiled both releases myself and used the same ./configure options both times (but i compiled on different machines: v 2.0.5a was compiled on a HP 9000/715/50, 2.0.6 was compiled on a HP 9000/800/K360) I used binutils 2.9.1 and gcc 2.8.1 on

Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

Hi, I'm using latest Samba version 2.2.8a and are preparing a production server system, which was working fine recently in development stage. My system is basically a SuSE 8.2 Pro with some of the applications being installed manually from source. I'm using CUPS as printer backend and add printers to the system using lpadmin Afterwards I make a reload (or even a restart) of smbd and

Hi Everyone, I have setup a Samba share to work on our local network with a username map to accommodate Windows XP usernames with spaces, but it seems that Samba maps the username correctly but then immediately changes it to an Anonymous request.

Gang, ???? I run several KVM host machines.? Due to updates, maintenance, and unexpected reboots sometime host machines are restarted.? I can easily envision a scenario where HostX needs some critical packages updated or is acting up.? I migrate guest0, guest1, guest2 etc. from HostX to HostY.? Then, in either a planned (i.e. scheduled maintenance) or unplanned (i.e. unplanned reboot) event

I'm having problems accessing Samba shares from my XP Pro machine. Samba 2.2.7 is installed on two Redhat 8.0 machines and configured using SWAT. I have user level security and encrypted passwords setup. I have a printer shared on both servers as well as home directories and one restricted access share. My printers are setup for guest access so all machines will always be able to print.

Using Samba v2.0.10 on a RedHat v7.1 box, I see that the Win98 clients on our network are making sporatic requests for user "nobody" (as shown below). Anyone know what's going on here? My network has both Linux and Win98 clients, but only the Win98 clients are showing this behavior. Both the Linux and Win98 clients access the same shared drives, but only the Win98 clients use
