similar to: Problem with win2k and winXP

I am using samba 2.2.7a an would like to use the %a variable to distinguish between WinXP und Win2k because I (and others) have problems when using the same roaming profiles for both OP-Systems --> During Logoff when writing back the profile I get an error message: "unable to write ... file prxxx.tmp" and after this the profile when written back by XP is not more usable

Hi Mathias, I can't speak on Win2k Pro but have recently tested WinXP Pro. Now with XP you will need to use the reg file included with the samba archive (in a sub directory in the docs dir). Once that has been applied (presuming all accounts have already been created on server) you can join the domain and log in no problems. -- Regards, Deryk Robosson Robosson Business Services 22

Hello fellow Samba users and devs. This is my first post. I've searched documentation far and wide for Windows, Linux, and Samba, and have not been able to shed any light on this issue. I can't get more than 8MB/s during a single file copy stream out of my Samba server over my 100FDX switched network either from Win2K or WinXP (I don't have a *nix client to test with). The network

Hy there! I set up samba as an PDC server for our network. All the clients are running windows 2000. I created the Linux users and the machine accounts. then set the whole thing up into sambas passwd file. I can access the shares over the "normal" workgroup part. But as soon as I want to access the domain, I get the error that the username and/or password is wrong.... Can somebody

G'day all... Has anyone had any success in achieving the above, without requiring the user to run smbpasswd on the samba server? On the client machine (2000 or XP) when I press ctrl-alt-del and attempt to change the password I get the error "The User name or old password is incorrect..." I need to keep things as simple as possible for my users, they're not highly computer

Hi all, I have the lucky task of being able to set-up a DEV environment for our developers. We plan on using redhat 9 with Samba 3 and making each server an AD domain member of an established Win2K domain. The advice I would like is the best way to implement this, I'd like to hopefully leave the Win2K domain admins power to create users on the Win2K domain, and automatically add users to the

Hi I have ported syslinux to win2k/winxp. It is attached. It has been tested with floppies and flashcards, but not on harddisks. On harddisks I'm not sure if I should use \\.\PHYSICALDRIVEX or \\.\X: as arguments to CreateFile (I'm no windows wiz) and I do not currently have a system to test this on. The program can be compiled using mingw or in cygwin using the option -mno-cygwin

Hi all, I am having problems running a logon script from a Winxp pro client. It appears that the logon script is not being run at all. Win98 runs the script fine, but none of the Winxp pro clients are currently running it. I am running RedHat 7.1 with Samba version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix. My smb.conf is as follows: [global] netbios name = LOKKI server string = Lokki PDC

Hi all, one of the win2k clients of my network uses an ID with one space inside, e.g. "jack smith". I succeeded in creating a Linux user with such a name, but have troubles in adding him to the smb users. Any suggestion? PS Running RH 8.0 & Samba 2.2.5 When i had RH 6.2 & Samba ?.?.? the trick worked out. Thanx maq

Hi All- Please tell me if I'm posting to the wrong list. I looked for the list called samba-ntdom (listed at http://us1.samba.org/samba/archives.html) because it seemed a more appropriate forum, but it looks like that list has been dissolved. Has the discussion for that list moved to some other list? Anyway, here's the problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with: I have

Hi, We have Samba 2.2.6(+2.2.7 security patch) installed on solaris. Samba is used as PDC for WinNT and Win2K clients. The WinNT machines have no problems geting into the domain as machine trust accounts exist in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd file. However, Win2k clients are not able to join the domain. I did go through the documentation, and hence created root account in 'smbpasswd'

How can i get a trust relationship betwen Samba Domain and Win2k ? I?ve tried many ways like, change win2k register, changig some security directives, etc. The win2k is added at Samba Domain like this useradd -g MYGROUP -d /dev/null -s /bin/false WIN2k$ smbpasswd -a -m WIN2K$ Is there other way?? Thanks

I've added it in the way as described in 2. smbpasswd -r XXX -j TELIT -U mydomainuser and I got the message successfully joined domain telit (or something similar) XXX - here this is the same server, which I use with security = server and this is the PDC of the win2k domain I don't know what kind of account has the machine in the win2k domain - as I said I don't have any direct

John, thanks for that hint. It did not kill the server by you are perfectly right. I changed this and restarted the "smb" and "nmb" deamons - unfortunately with the same result. When I watch e.g. the status with "swat" I see as follows after trying with: smbclient -U <user> -L win2k1 (what is strange since I connect as different user and not

Greetings ... This is a stupid question which have been wanting to ask for awhile, and hope somebody can help me. Profiles, if I understand it correctly come in two forms, local and roaming? Now local in on the computer the user uses and roaming is one that is download from the server when the user logs in. Now, where my problem is, when I have some users who have huge documents folder,

Starting three days ago I have found over 4,000 of these error messages in my messages log. Mar 5 15:49:48 fs3 smbd[13785]: alloc_sub_basic: NULL source string! This should not happen Nothing has been changed on the samba config in over a week and that change was about the spin lock time setting. The server is RedHat ES 3 running Samba 3.0.2. The client machines are a mix of Win98 and WinXP

I am an evil M$ MCSE :), who of late is planning on opening his own business... Due to the large cost involved with setting up Win2K server, both Hardware and OS, we are considering a Linux server setup. We have SOME experience with Linux, but were after information specifically on the possible implementation of Win2K Group Policies (as well as 'Domain' Authentication_ for the client

  I've been having problems mounting WinXP shares with Samba 2.2.7a & 2.2.8. I attribute this to WinXP using encrypted passwords, but I've set my smb.conf file with "encrypt passwords = yes" and despite a lot of searching, can't find any other option or flag that might help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Just a quick congrats to John for repling to this email constructivly. Too often do people fire out the ole RTFM speel. More people within the OpenSource community could do with taking a leaf out of his book. On topic for a second, do not discount being able to lower the spec of the below machine due to careful implementation and installation. You may wish to take a look at the kernel
