Hi, I am trying to upgrade Samba from 3.3.2 to 3.3.9 for Win7 compatibility issue. It is running on Redhat 9.0 (I've planned to upgrade to Centos 5.5 in a second setp) and without any ldap backend (tdbsam actually). As I have already done in the past for upgrading, I have done the following procedure : 1) Compile 3.3.9 . My configure option are : ./configure --with-acl-support

Problem number one: ------------------- I'm running a few-hours-old CVS version of Samba 3.0 with LDAP as the authentication backend, and I'm having some problems trying to set up the LDAP accounts using "smbpasswd". I build the structure of the LDAP database by importing a couple of LDIF's, and then I import the following user account to create an administrative account

Hi, I'm having problems moving/renaming files as a member of. I tried to move "test.txt" from "\\files\public\" to "\\files\public\OfficeWork". Here's the error I get in windows: *Cannot move test: access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.* Here's the error log: *[2009/01/20 15:10:34, 2]

After reading through the documentation, I realized that as a part of the migration process from Samba-2.2.X to Samba-3.0.0 I needed to convert everyone in my smbadmin group (previously domain admin group = @smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group w/rid=512. So, I issued the following command: [root@localhost profile]# net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins"

Hi, The group that is mapped to rid=512 cannot be used in "valid users", the users cannot map the share (error 5). Is this normal? Should I file a bug? Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu server role = classic primary domain controller smb.conf: valid users = +smbadmin command: net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=smbadmin rid=512 type=d As soon as I remove the group

Hi! I have a problem with roaming profiles which I don't understand. I can login and logout from XP with a samba PDC with ldapsam flawlessly, but for some reasons when the profile does not belong to the user itself windows tells me upon logout that it cannot copy back some files to the server. Weird, because the directory where the profile resides is readable and writable by the user,

I have experienced a couple of (minor) problems with Samba Thought I would report these and ask if they are known problems. 1. Problem with "!" in username map file 2. Samba tools e.g. smbstatus, testparm not accounting for "config file" parameter 1. There appears to be a problem with a minor part of username map file interpretation. When I put an exclamation mark

when trying to put a samba3 server into a domain (samba3 pdc) I always get the following error messages: [root@file samba]# net join -d 2 -U smbadmin RHEL -S server1.example.com [2004/09/30 23:36:35, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(79) added interface ip=192.168.0.150 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 smbadmin's password: [2004/09/30 23:36:37, 1] libads/ldap.c:ads_connect(251)

Hi! I'm experiencing strange performance problems after upgrading to samba 3.2.8 from 3.0.30. For all users except smbadmin (who has administrative rights), read performance is _very_ bad. Looking at the read-requests using filemon and wireshark, I found out that for those users, every read is handled transparently (unbuffered) over the net. (I.e. a 2 byte read-request of the application

Hi - I'm having trouble trying to get "Point'n'Print" working. I (think I?) have set it up as per the HOW-TOs but here's what happens... I login as "root" in the "MAXP" domain to the client (gservxp). I use "Network Neighbourhood" to navigate to the server (lambada). I then open up "Printers and Faxes" - just for info, the Add

I''m in a dilemma: In order to keep GET requests from deleting objects, I''d like to use the button_to helper to get "something" that generates a POST request. Unfortunately, that something is a form and forms can''t be nested. I''d also like to place buttons related to the same form close to each other. At the top are some navigational buttons

Sorry if this is a dup. I sent right before I subscribed to the list, so I'm not sure if it made it. I have just taken over a redhat system with Samba 3.0.0 configured with security = user, and domain logins enabled. I've included the smb.conf at the end of this message. I would like to upgrade to 3.0.10 for a numbers of reasons, one being security and one being that password changes

OK, I had this working a few days ago, but have evidently changed something that I cannot locate. Someone hit me with their 2x4. Samba 3.0.22, Fedora Core 4, ldapsam (OpenLDAP 2.3.24). smbd will not start, with the "ERROR: failed to setup guest info" error (I have "guest account = guest", which is a valid user with correct info in LDAP): ldap_connect_system: Binding to ldap

Fellow List Members: After upgrading our server to RHEL 6 from RHEL 5, I discovered that our linux clients could create files on the share but not delete them unless they first switch to root (su -). This is very odd to me since the share in question is mounted with the non-root user's credentials. The fstab entry is as follows: //192.168.1.2/officefiles /mnt/officefiles cifs

Hello, I have found out that a domain administrator is always mapped to root in the UNIX filesystem: drwx------ 2 jive smbguests 1024 2004-12-23 18:59 jive drwx------ 13 salsa smbusers 1024 2004-12-23 18:58 salsa drwx------ 13 root smbadmins 1024 2004-12-23 18:56 tango jive is a domain guest user, salsa a domain user and tango a domain administrator. Is it possible to change the root

Hello all, I've noticed that removing a user from a group in /etc/group does not immediately prevent the user from accessing files / directories which the group still has access to. For example, say user 'cwseyst2' only has access to access to 'plc' if it is in group 'plc-staff'. # getfacl plc # file: plc # owner: smbadmin # group: smbadmin user::rwx group::rwx

Hello, On Debian 9 (stretch prerelease) I am able to mount with the following command with root using the following command: mount -t cifs //smb.physics.wisc.edu/smb /smb -osec=krb5,multiuser,username=smbadmin at PHYSICS.WISC.EDU --verbose root can also access files as expected However, when cifs-utils 6.6-5 is installed, a different user cannot access as expected: ls /smb ls: cannot

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with OwnCloud and Nextcloud on a sandbox CentOS 7 server. I've been using OwnCloud for the last two years for my own purposes on a Slackware server, and I'm quite happy with it. In my humble opinion, every admin who wants to host OwnCloud or Nextcloud on a RHEL/CentOS server is confronted with a version dilemma. 1. CentOS 7 sports PHP 5.4, which has
