similar to: Samba Server in a WinNT 4 Domain - SOLVED, sort of...

Greetings all: I currently have three Windows NT 4 domains. I'm evaluating the switch to either (at least) a mix of RedHat Linux or a total switch to RedHat. For file serving processes, I'll utilize SAMBA. For my first test, I've been looking at/trying to duplicate and then replace the services of my least obtrusive server - our Proxy Server - with an older workstation for the Linux

I modified the CUPS access rights (defined in cupsd.conf). Before that only users of administrative group had access to the printer configuration parts. Now I removed all access restrictions, so that anyone can access all CUPS services (printers, jobs, ...) (we use this, because sometimes we need to hold printers manually ...). But, as I mentioned, I don't find the relationship between this

The interesting part is that PAM nor the SMB auth plugin for Apache requires you to be a member of the domain. However, the caveat with pam_smb_auth is that you have to have a unix account for every windows user you want to authenticate. I guess the behavior I'm trying to achieve is the one achieved with the Apache plugin: 1) Doesn't require you to be a member of the domain 2)

James: (Again someone correct me if I'm wrong) PAM allows local access to the Samba machine as well as authenticating Samba users. Winbind *only* allows for Samba access. This is why I chose *not* to use PAM in my setup. I don't want normal users to have local logon access to *MY* servers. <evil grin> With Winbind, you don't need PAM at all. If you're planning on

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba

I recently ran into significant problems with a network configuration in which transfers from the samba linux box to a windows box was taking a unreasonbly large amount of time. Transfer speeds looked like 5k/sec vs ftp with the same file/machine setup, 750k/sec. I found a solution to my problem. My problem I think was something the duplex mode whether it was incorrectly configured in the driver

I'm using openSuSE 11.3. Recently, I've downloaded the demo of Guitar Pro 6 in order to use it with Wine. The installation succeeded, but the .exe file (ran with Wine) won't launch. I found Guitar Pro 6 in the Wine application database but it has no maintainer. Someone suggested to install vcrun2005 - I did it with wine-tricks, but it didn't change anything and at the end of the

I've got a Samba 2.2.7a domain with an LDAP backend. It's been working for nearly 3 months now without much bother. By the way: Great work and thanks for all of the effort! I have been missing one minor thing from the setup since I moved away from NT 4: Password Expiration. In the past I have posted questions about this on the list and I've gotten two answers: "Wait for

Hi, Can we use the same image for external links on the wiki as we are using for Trac ? It is much less obtrusive in pieces of text.

I previously posted this to the linux.samba mailing list. I'm not sure that was the right place, so here it is again. Apologies if you've already seen it. Hi, I would really appreciate any hep with a big problm I'm having with XP (Pro / SP1 ) transferring to a samba share. The transfer starts off OK, using about 66% of my 100Mbs network. Then, after about 10-15 seconds, it drops off

I have a Samba 2.2.7a PDC (with an OpenLDAP backend) that seems to be giving me trouble. Here's the scoop: I have Windows 2000 Pro clients running Word 2000. Over the past several days, a lot of them have had trouble with their documents - most of the time during a save. The most critical of these failures presents the following error message when saving: "Word has lost data due to a

Ok, my little experiment proved my point. Ruby 1.8.6 is not viable for production. Requiring it and dropping the cgi fix back patch isn''t an option. It''s not even clear whether the latest 1.8.6 has any remaining fixes. So, crisis averted. Mongrel WILL NOT require 1.8.6 and now I''m going to dig out where these security fixes are coming from and how to host this kind

If you cd to the /menu directory and type 'make' it fails with this error: libmenu/help.c:17:57: error: loadfile.h: No such file or directory libmenu/help.c: In function 'showhelp': libmenu/help.c:99: warning: implicit declaration of function 'loadfile' make: *** [libmenu/help.o] Error 1 The problem can be averted by adding the proper header location the file

I've got a Samba (3.0.14a) controlled domain that contains 1 Windows 2003 Server as a member server. I've been thinking about using Terminal Services from that machine to allow roaming users (ie, those outside of the office) to connect to our network and get work done. My only concern at this point how to deal with the lack of an Active Directory and still allow Terminal Services to

Hello all, There''s been many posts lately about problems that stem from either duplicate macs, non static macs and other networking issues that would be averted if a mac was specified upon vm creation. I''ve been using this little function I wrote in my shell scripts that setup dom-u''s from a csv file and its worked rather well, lets you control the prefix and

Well the weekend didn't bring any solutions to this unhappy camper. I spent most of my time trying to narrow down the problem again. I started out by installing a quick copy of ZipSlack on the Win98SE machine to determine once and for all if the problem was a Windows problem or not. Well, I tried a simple FTP from the ZipSlack to my Mandrake 8.0 server and it hung up like in Windows. So I
