similar to: [homes] problem using SAMBA 2.2.7

Hi, I am running 2.2.5 and I would like to know if the "restrict anonymous" as been implemented correctly, as it was supposed to behave from the start, in order to deny ALL anonymous connections as stated in the man : "When restrict anonymous is yes, all anonymous connections are denied no matter what they are for." Ive been reading some dev mailing lists and someone said

I'm trying to build samba 2.2.7 (latest tarball) downloaded about 2 hours ago. System is SunFire 3800, Solaris 8 (Generic_108528-16) and gcc 3.2 (downloaded from Sunfreeware). Gcc -v output is: Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --disable-nls Thread model: posix gcc version

Dear list. Using samba 3.0.2, exporting home directories to drives using [homes]. Suppose this scenario: an employee falls ill. Someone else has to take over this persons work. I want to give this NEW person access to the ill person's home directory. Homedirectories shares are created at logon time. Meaning that the share for the ill person currently does NOT exist (as he or she is at home,

I run a pretty large network, we have plenty of users. Most of our users have their windows home directories on Samba servers. One of these many users has the username "homes". This user is unable to map their home directory (\\sambaserver\homes). It seems that this could be a conflict between the "homes" share definition and his username and samba getting confused.

Hi! We are using Samba 3 in SuSE-linux 8.2 with ldap. After upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 we got following problem: When users log-in homes-share is not allways reachable, so automatic homedrive-mapping and roaming profiles doesn't work. This doesn't happen everytime, but quite often. And after login users can map their homedrives manually. Users have following attributes in LDAP

hi all, I am configuring a samba server version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix, under redhat 8.0 I would like to configure which user have access to the home directory and which not the smb.conf home configuration is: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = +homeusr create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 where homeusr group is the group

hi, I ran also into the home share problem, as discussed earlier in this list (http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-February/080593.html). But so far I haven't seen any solution. In samba 3.0.2 changelog is a line: "BUG 977: Don't create a homes share for a user if a static share already exists by the same name." I don't know what was changed, but it affected the

Hi all, I'm using the latest alpha version (the one that comes with Debian unstable) in domain mode, setting up a member file server, with domain clients authenticating to a W2k machine. I'm trying to use the "add user script" option to create new users automagically, but it never seems to run. The script in this case is a handwritten perl script, and I've added a

I have a single AD domain with 4 domain controllers (win2k-not native mode). I want all users to login to AD (clients from 98 to XP - no linux clients yet). This is a school network with 4 campuses connected by wireless links (hence the 4 domain controllers) and I would like to put a samba server at each location for student home directories (basically a NAS setup to start with). There will

Hi all. Sorry for a long email, but I am really lost here and need to fix this ASAP. I have just upgraded a samba server to the current Samba 3.0.0 binary for Redhat 9. This has fixed an issue I was having with 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 just dying with no errors, but I have a new problem now and I cant work it out. User's Home directories are showing up in the list of shares (as expected) but when

Hi list, I read the samba doc but i didn't find any answer to my problem, maybe you can help me or just point me where to find the solution. That would be very appreciated. Our company has three offices in different cities plus a head office. All of those office are linked using VPNs. For now, we have a domain at the head office using samba3 as a PDC, a master LDAP server for

I am running several samba servers (2.2.3a and 2.2.7) in various places as pdcs. Everything seems to be running smoothly, but I can't find any way of restricting access to only those uses who have logged on to the domain. Is this possible? ie at the moment, any user can map a drive to \\server\share, put in a valid user/password pair and have access to that share without going through any

We're trying to set up linux based workstations that use a win2k AD/DC for authentication, and pam_mount to mount a share as the user's home directory. It looks like winbind isn't passing on the credentials (although it is getting us logged in). If anyone has made this work, I'd love the details. It looks like winbind isn't passing the auth information thanks jim

I can not add a W2K computer to my newly created SMB PDC. I get the error message: the credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials on SAMBA 2.2.7 and "The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server." on SAMBA 3.0.0. On W98 I am able to logon to the domain, but unable to execute the map logon

Hello!!! People, I`m running Samba 2.2.7 with Red Hat 8.0 and I like of know how to make`s force samba to expire password of user`s to change in the next login... Suggestions?

hello, I'm running Samba 2.2.5 and we recently went through a user login format change. We have the "security = user" option and when the home directories are cloned with the username (firstname.lastname), only those users with less than 12 characters in their login are able to click on their user named folder. The temporary work around is to have long-named users click on the

Hi, I'm trying to set up a squid with ntlm authentification, and as I follow the instructions I read in the squid FAQ I run into this problem. When I try to do a ``wbinfo -a <domain>\\<user>%<passwd>'' the process tells me that the authentification did not succeded (both, plaintext passwords authentification and challenge/response password authentification). This

I'm trying to run the PDC for my domain on a seperate server from the home directory space. Also, I want each user to be able to FTP in with their domain username and password and access files in their home directory and only -their- home directory. It seems that I would need a seperate linux account for every user on the home directory server in order to fulfill my FTP requirement. Then

Hi, Im running debian 3 woody using kernel 2.2.x and samba 2.2.7. When I try to join the box to my ADS using smbpasswd -j DOM -r DOMPDC -Uusr%pass it says "Unknown parameter encountered: "ads server"". It also says "Unknown parameter encountered: "realm"". Then it says that it'll ignore those lines. I have the krb5user-package and the

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it
