similar to: Samba Question w/ RH 7.3 and Windows

Hello, I've got Samba set up for domain logins and use winbind as well. What I'm wondering is if it's possible for the home directory to be automatically created when the user logs in if it doesn't already exist? If not, anyone have a relatively easy way to do this, in addition to giving the proper owner and group? Thanks, Scott

Hello, I'm installing 2.2.7a, or attempting to at any rate. I've compiled it from source using the following instructions: http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html Anyways, I've got it set up so that it works. Now I'm trying to get to a point where I can interface it like I have with a different Linux box that is working without any problems. When I did the

Okay, I've got it partially working. Will that module also do it from a non-*nix login? For instance, say the user will more than likely never log into that server from a telnet session. Where would I put the following line: session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel I'm running RedHat 7.3. In the /etc/pam.d directory, there are a bunch of different files.

Hello, I've got the following script that I want to run every time a user logs in to the Samba server, whether it be from a mapped share or by opening a telnet session into the server and logging in that way. Here's the script: #!/bin/sh DOMAIN=`echo $USER | awk -F_ '{print $1}'` USERNAME=`echo $USER | awk -F_ '{print $2}'` if [ $DOMAIN = "MA" ]; then if [

Hello, Got a strange issue, that might be nothing, or it might be something. I'm running 2.2.6 on an RH 7.3 box at the moment. Everything is working great for the most part. Through winbind I have it authenticating from the domain controller, users have their own little private share of space, etc etc. However, I've noticed that sometimes the personal share doesn't show up. For

Hello, Getting this error: [2002/11/02 12:55:16, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1367) unable to open passdb database.

Has anyone on this list been able to configure samba in such a way so that it will authenticate to windows 2K acitve directory. What I want to do is this: install samba 2.2.7 onto a Redhat linux 7.3 system, then configure samba (I think using something called smb_pam) so that it will join the windows active directory domain. Is such a thing possible? Has anyone here done it? I can't find

Before you read this, I want to state (for reasons listed below) that I don't expect an answer (advice is welcomed, but please read this email carefully before answering). I'm sharing this with the community with the hope that better software results from our sad experience... BACKGROUND I've been using NT for 4 years, Netware and Linux for 3 years, and Samba for almost 2. I work

Hello everyone, Just kind of a generalized question, and looking more for caveats than anything else. We're getting ready to implement the latest and greatest release of Samba on one of our Sun servers. Unfortunately, we haven't determined which one yet, but we only have two, so it's not a big deal. Anyways, I've set up Samba successfully on Linux on multiple occasions, the

Hello, This may be kind of a dumb question, as it's something I could easily be overlooking, but I'm confused anyways. My Samba server is part of the MA domain. However, I want a couple of non-domain accounts to still be able to access Samba shares. The machines trying to access the shares are Win2k machines, and whenever I try to access the server, it asks me for the username and

My RedHat 8.0 workstation doesn't want to play nice with Winbind. The rest of our Samba servers (on RedHat 7.3) are working fine, and I am familiar with setting up Winbind. Samba: 2.2.7a (RPM from Samba.org. RedHat's RPMs do same thing.) Kernel 2.4.20 NT 4 domain I'd copied the pam and smb.conf from a working box in testing. Getent passwd and group works, BUT getent group

Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction and/or help me solve my problem. We have a number of Linux servers (RH6.2 -> RH8) which connect to the same share on a Win2000 Server. We've been working kinda hard to get everything upgraded to either RH7.3 or RH8.0 since we rarely get the opportunity. 2 similar servers (one dev, one prod) access this same window

Does anybody know more about groups? I am considering switching from NT to Samba domain and have made some test. Unfortunately I need to make two additional groups, except Domain Admin (one of them is Domain Users). Is it possible to make that with the stable version of Samba? And another, but not so important (for now) question. Currently I have a Samba server, providing files and printers

Worked like a charm. Thanks both to Tim and Josh for their assistance. It appears to be working beautifully!!!

Hi, I am still looking for the answer to my problem, i.e. windows not seeing the smb serbver in the networkneighbourhood.

Hi, I am having a weird issue with samba where once a week approximately at the same time users will lose connectivity, if i run wbinfo -u all users are displayed wbinfo -g all groups are displayed However running getent passwd only shows local-users, no remote users are shown.. To fix the issue I have to change the name of my idmap config and restart samba and winbind and everything works

Hi, I was looking though the easy Add Printer Wizard Driver Installation instructions here http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id2620623 but found that it did not work. After saying no to "Do you want to install the driver now" when properties comes up nothing is editable so one can't connect to advanced or new driver to install

Hello, I ftp'ed the binary RPM for samba from us6.samba.org, and when I tried to verify it, rpm said that MD5 was NOT OK. Has anyone else reported this behavior?
