Additional Info... I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what I am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course, it also mentions the name of the PDC. If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done. However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC. With a Samba BDC, should I leave the

I thought that it was quite impossible to do that due to the Domain SID as well as the SAM list that currently Samba is unable to retrieve. (Not that it would have helped me any, since our old NT 4.0 PDC took a major Hardware failure.) How would one duplicate the SID, is that possible with 'smbpasswd -S' from the new Samba DC?

Hello, I have an annoying little issue. I am currently running Samba 2.2.5-10 as a Primary Domain Controller and have a number of shared drives with a variety of differing users and user rights all over the place. In my smb.conf file, I have the following share: [emergpo] path = /share/purchasing/emergpo force directory mode = 0770 create mode = 0770

Hello, I have a few ideas about how to make my Linux server mount up a shared folder on a Windows machine at boot time, however I would like to know if there are other methods of getting it to work. I have considered building a startup script with a high number to have the system smbmount the shared drive like a service, in case of a power outage. I believe that would be considered

I believe that your issue is related to UNIX permissions. The location of your profiles directory must be set to allow all users R/W to it. Create a new group in your group file and add every user to it. Then change the ownership of the profiles directory. Also make sure that all of your users have R/W permissions on that directory.

Hello Everyone, I have a few users that are complaining about the "slowness" of copying files to and saving files directly to the Samba server. From my own recollections, the speed is rather identical to the speed we experienced on our old Windows NT 4.0 fileserver. One thing that could be the impetus of this issue is that Samba is serving up files, for opening and copying from the

Simon, What version of Windows XP are you using? If your client has purchased computers from Best Buy or a similar electronics "mega-store" they likely received WinXP Home Edition. (Which is what it sounds like based upon the use of Win9x machines you mentioned.) If that is the case, then you will be unable to get the WinXP machines to see the Samba Server (or a Windows

Ralf, I am using Samba 2.2.5-10 and haven't had any issues with getting Win2K clients to connect to the domain after getting Samba properly configured as a PDC. It could be a minor configuration issue. Although, in my reading I could only get confirmation that Samba 2.2.5-x would work with Windows 2000 Clients regardless of the Service Pack level. You might need to take a

Hello All, I have put together a Samba PDC for a mixed Bag of Windows Client workstations. We have a few Windwos 9x, some Win NT 4.0 and a handful of Windows 2000 workstations. The server is operating fine as a PDC for all workstations, all the permissions are properly set and things are running mostly smoothly. There are a few things that are somewhat slow moving on the network.

I ran into a similar problem with one of my machines. I simply couldn't quite understand why it happened. I did destroy and recreate the machine account and it still persisted. I ended up changing the machine name and creating a new machine name for the system. That is the only fix that I am aware of at this time.

I am unsure if that is quite possible... However, I think that it would be best to address this to a Windows Mailing list of some sort. There may well be an answer that you can alter to work with whatever Samba installation that you have. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

Randy, I believe that it is a simple matter of calling out the local path that you wish to have profiles placed on each machine, in the smb.conf. Example: logon path = C:\Documents and Settings\%u The above should work, for you. I haven't done so myself, since each user on my network has their own unique mailbox, which is saved onto the server when they log off. Which is very

When you mean register the client, are you meaning "Join the Domain"? Unless I am mistaken, I believe the machine account that you had to create using smbpasswd creates the SID in the smbpasswd file, if you copy that file over to the new server, and also copy over all the netlogon information, profiles and such. Then you should have no issues and it will be

Jim, Perhaps you should forward your concerns to the OpenLDAP developers list and hopefully they can work out something to streamline the process. Perhaps they are already working on streamlining the system and require some help in tightening up some of their ideas. I am sure that they would welcome any suggestions that you may have. Of course, some of the issues that you have

Everyone could setup an auto-responder to send replies to his E-mail address that contains instructions on how to properly setup his mail filters to skip the auto reply to this and any other mailing lists he is associated with. Perhaps when his company sees the incredible slow-down on their mail server and investigates the issue. They could unplug his machine from their network,

Brendan, Unless I am seriously mistaken, I believe that by adding this 'wide links = no' to each share section will end the ability to create and use symlinks on your shares. I am unsure why anyone would want to really include symlinks into a Samba share. Does anyone care to enlighten me? Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

Yes, there is a line in the smb.conf called 'domain admin group =' Just put the UNIX group name that you wish to have admin rights on Windows to there. Then open up your group file and add whomever needs those rights on the system. I have found that needs to be done the first time that a user account is setup on a Windows workstation when Office needs to install a few files

Hello All, I was curious to know if there is any method for recovering data that has been deleted by a user on accident, this occurred prior to the running of the official back-up. Anyway, a user ended up losing a few hours of work, so I need to attempt to recover what I can, if at all possible. Any suggestions?

There's a phantom domain master browser showing up in my Samba nmbd.log file. I keep thinking that maybe it is left over in one of the files that I transferred over from the old server to the new server and it isn't clearing itself out. Is there a way to clear that and is it possible to have a phantom browser fighting over the Domain from a copied over file? I transferred all of the
