I'm trying to migrate my existing RedHat ES Samba PDC to Ubuntu. The RedHat version of Samba is 3.0.9 and the Ubuntu version is 3.0.14a. Everything was going fine until I tried to import the LDIF of the existing LDAP directory. The LDIF actually imports all of the structure (OU and Group definitions) and all of my users, but it fails when it comes to my first machine account with this

I've had a Samba 3.0.2 Print Server running for nearly 7 months now without too much of a hitch on RedHat Enterprise "ES" 3.0. Late last week, RedHat issued an Errata that moved Samba from the 3.0.2 base to the 3.0.4 base. So when I did the "up2date" this weekend as part of my normal maintenance, this server was updated and everything appeared to be fine. Things are

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've got a Red hat 8.0 machine running the latest "up2date" version of Samba (2.2.7 with Red Hat's patches) acting as a print server using CUPS. The printing of documents is fine for the most part. But I have noticed one thing that is really nothing more than an annoyance and was wondering if anyone else has seen the problem and possibly a cure. I have all Windows 2000 Pro

Im having an intermittent problem with samba. Im running samba 3.0.2a on solaris 8 that i downloaded from sunfreeware.com I have my smb.conf setup to get passwords from my active directory server and it usually works fine. I ran a net join command like so to originally join the domain: root# net join -S WIN2KSERVER -w MYDOMAIN.com -U Administrator Password: Joined domain MYDOMAIN. It will run

I sent this out yesterday and im still having this problem, has anyone seen this before? original email: Im having an intermittent problem with samba.

Since we're on the subject of Samba over the WAN.... (BTW, I'm running three offices with a Samba 3.0.9 PDC and two Samba 3.0.9 BDCs over an FreeSwan based WAN and it works just fine. The WINS server is a must in my book though.) Last Thursday and Friday, one of the remove office's WAN lines went down. While the outages were significant, nothing major happened because of it. But,

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

Hi List, slightly OT but i have Xen and Windows running (xen 3.2.0, hvm, win 2k3) on top of a lvm volume. Now i want to delete such a volume but i got the message: $ lvremove /dev/Xen0/Win2kServer Can''t remove open logical volume "Win2kServer" The volume is not in use by any VM, but there is a partition table on it with 8Megs of free space and a ntfs partition. I also got 2

With a single server, settings "security = server" and "password server = pdc1 pdc2', I can successfully authenticate against two entirely different PDCs depending on which order I put the two machines in the 'password server' list. Is there someway of forcing clients from either domain to authenticate against the 'right' pdc, regardless of the order in the

I have a problem on the two heaviest-used Samba servers in my company. They both are exhibiting the same problem, just in different ways. Stargazer is my "Main" File and LDAP directory server - it functions as the "PDC" for my network. It's running Red Hat Enterprise Linux "ES" 2.1, a recompiled custom Red Hat "ES" version of Samba 2.2.7 (to add LDAP

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

Ok, after three more days of pulling my hair out, I'm still stuck. I've got what I think is the problem, but I'm sure how to fix it. I'm building a Samba PDC using the IDEALX.org HOWTO. I'm using samba 2.2.7 and openldap 2.0.27 that I compiled from the Red Hat Network. This is being built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1. Ok, So I get to the part of the HOWTO that

About two weeks ago, I posted a message to the list describing an error that I've been getting with Word 2000 documents. The subject line of that mail was: "Samba 2.2.7a and Word 2000 = Corrupted (?) files"; I submitted it on 10/15/03. I've not heard from anyone with a response to that inquiry, so I'm yelling for help one more time. I've scoured Google, the

Is there a way - without killing off Samba - to force a rebuild of the WINS database that Samba is maintaining? I've got a couple of completely bogus entries in WINS and I need to get rid of them, but I can't take the Samba server down to do it. I'm hoping that I can issue a couple of commands and poof the WINS database is blown away and it starts to repopulate with good data. If I

Hi All, A couple of days ago I posted a query here about the loss of performance on my backup server after I moved from Red Hat 7.3 to SuSE 8.1. It appears as though, with no hardware or script changes, that my backup process takes 4 hours longer with SuSE 8.1. I'm doing (what I think is) a very simple script that basically employs SMBMOUNT, CP, and DIFF. Like this:

Hi All: Stuff I'm using: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1 Samba 2.2.7 OpenLDAP 2.0.25 I followed the Idealx.org howto to build Samba+LDAP. I have a functioning, replicating domain on my lab workbench right now. Then I began to explore permissions on local shares, etc. when I discovered that to a Windows client, the only domain groups that are available from a Samba PDC are "Domain

Appologies if this has been asked before, i have searched the archives and while there are some almost related issues, none really answer my question/problem. Recently (about 4 months ago) we purchased a new Dell 2600 (2.0Ghz Xeon 2GB Ram), Machine (single cpu) and migrated the data and system from rh 6.2 to 8 on this new server. By migrate i mean Installed rh8 fresh and moved the user data

I don't know if this got posted. Sorry for the double. Basically I have 4 Win AD servers I'm trying to use for password servers. I can net join others but not this one. All AD servers are identical and I have a computer account on all 4. What does this error mean? Thank u ! I'm also getting intermittent “password server not available” and users can't connect at random. I've
