similar to: samba authenticate to 2K AD?

We have a network with Windows NT/2000, SGI's, Linux, Macintosh, AIX. Our user account/passwords for all our machines is handled by NIS on an AIX machine. Our unix machines autheticate through NIS. Our windows machines authenticate by loging on to an NT server acting as the PDC, and that PDC has a service installed on it called "WinDD NIS" (made by Tektronix I think) which contacts

ive got several hundred user accounts in NIS that i need to get into the smbpasswd file. since samba doesn't actually use NIS, but can only be in sync with it, what is the best way to get all these passwords into smbpaswd? I'd hate to have to have all users re-enter their passwords... anyone done this before? thanks in advance, alex ---

Yes, I get more than 30MB/s performance. The benchmark I use (NetBench) is essentially CPU bound, such that a faster processor = faster performance. With a very fast hardware config (dual 3.2GHz processors), I've been able to hit around 100MB/s. Changing the RAM or other attributes does not buy me much, it seems that processor power is the bottleneck (at least in my case). When doing your

Hi, I am new to this list and to the world of Linux so please forgive my basic knowledge. I am after some information regarding samba. We are running a few servers with RedHat 7.1 all with dual nics. One NIC of each goes to a level 3 routing switch on one network and the second NIC in each server goes out to different networks. We have a few Windows 95 machine that

here's our setup: 1) Windows NT4.0 server/PDC 2) Multiple Windows NT4.0 (SP 6) and Windows 2000 (SP 2) 3) AIX 4.3 file server running samba (1.9) currently we are trying to make a change in all users windows profiles. we are trying to switch from roaming to local. thats easy engouh, but we also want to redirect the windows desktop and my docs folder to our network file server (samba) so that

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

Hi, We are considering samba 3.0.1 as a replacement for our old-hag Windows NT4.0 Server PDC. However, we do want some policy control, and from the samba 3.0.0 documentation (23.3), it says the only current functional policy is the password expirey. Is this still true in samba 3.0.1? Can an NT4.0 server be a backup domain controller to samba 3.0.1 PDC? That way we can keep the NT4 machine

hei everyone, I have a weird problem: if I do a # cd /somedir; stat somesubdir |grep Modify where /somedir is some directory on an SMB-mounted filesystem I get one datetime... but I I do: # cd /somedir; stat * |grep Modify for the same directory I get a Modify time which consistently differs by 1 second. As I'm writing a perl module to detect differences in a filesystem and rely on the

Hi, This problem is really getting frustrating. I have set up my debian 3 box w/ kernel 2.4.2 patched for ext2/3 ACL support. I have also installed all utilies, both attr and ACL. I have joined the box to my domain using winbind and smbpasswd. I can set permissions all right using setfacl with domain+user but when I try to change permissions via LAN using w2k/xp I get access denied/or it just

Dear all, Got a problem that turns me around. I'm quite new to samba. Yesterday when i tried the wbinfo -u/-g and other options worked without any worry. Also there was no error in the UNIX passwd program where i even changed the root password. This morning onwards i'm facing with problems where the wbinfo says there is an error looking up the domain for users and groups -h -i works

> We're using Redhat Linux 6.2 and Samba 2.0.7 for our file server. It is driven by an Intel Pentium III 900Mhz processor, 128MB PC133 DIMM, and RAID1 (40GB 5400rpm IDE).

Hello! I have a problem: I work in a company which is strictly windows-only, and I really need to replace a windows-xp machine - which is a member of the company's domain - with a linux machine (using samba). This new linux machine will have to upload backups of its data to a share within the domain. Thus, it needs to be a member of the domain (correct?). Obviously, I need to join the

Hi, I've got what I think is a pretty weird problem. I'm using redhat 8.0 and their latest samba rpm 2.2.7. I have a directory /virtuals/SAMARCAN/asterion_caen/hd4008/tiffout with about 600 tiff files in it. When I go this directory and try and delete them, it deletes about 100 of them or so, but while this is going on, it says:

Hi all, Well, I'm getting somewhere I think, I now have both ACL support and domain login basically working. However I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Basically I want to copy over a large number of files and directories (~300k files, ~60Gb total) from an existing W2k server to a Samba server. These files have existing ACLs set, so I need to preserve them somehow. I can

i have a question for the people who sponsor the samba team. "when are you going to realise that your money is being wasted by not sponsoring me as a design architect on NT compatibility software suites for unix?" here - yet again, another demonstration of how much money you have been wasting. hopefully this time this "really new" proposal - i.e. yet ANOTHER idea and

Greetings, I have a solaris package stored on a puppet server. I''d like to be able to maintain the package on a client system without having to also keep a copy of the package file on the client system. (think lots and lots of packages) Checksums work okay for noticing changes on the fileserver, but it seems that I have to keep a local copy of the file as well. When I rev the package

I was just wondering why does samba look for Desktop.ini when i am mapping to my home directory from w2k running samba 2.2.5 on sol2.6 , client is w2k am troubleshooting an weird issue where am not able to see all my unix home directory files on w2k log level10 is showing me that samba is looking for Desktop.ini could this be cousing something weired. thanks in advance

I had samba working on an old Sun Enterprise server using a JBOD that was managed with veritas volume manager (legacy stuff that had long outlived it's usefulness). Management arbitrarily decided to replace the aging Solaris server with a native Windows server without talking to me. I instead tried to persuade them to use an SGI cluster I had been putting together and use newer features of
