Has anyone on this list been able to configure samba in such a way so that it will authenticate to windows 2K acitve directory. What I want to do is this: install samba 2.2.7 onto a Redhat linux 7.3 system, then configure samba (I think using something called smb_pam) so that it will join the windows active directory domain. Is such a thing possible? Has anyone here done it? I can't find

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

Now that I've been enlightened to the terrible write performance of ext3 on my new 3Ware RAID 5 array, I'm stuck choosing an alternative filesystem. I benchmarked XFS, JFS, ReiserFS and ext3 and they came back in that order from best to worst performer. I'm leaning towards XFS because of performance and because centosplus makes kernel modules available for the stock kernel.

aglia aglia (in italian meat ahi ahi !) Hello i have a serius questions . I have installe din my school samba as PDC for 8 subnet with client win98 Me 95 and i use it like profile server . Last month the school without call me buyed 10 cp with xp home ! It never possible that xp home do not support domain logons, and other nice features . I have samba 2.2.7a with mandrake 9.0 Thank for help me

Dear Listmembers, I try to work with samba (newest rpm for SuSE, 3.0.1.pre2, but that does not matter, the effect was there in 2.2.7 and 2.2.8a too) on an sufficient armed system (the system does not matter either, I have tried it on different machines) using ReiserFS (version 3.6.4-12). When accessing one share from one machine (i.e. copying two or more files at a time to or from the share)

Hi, I've heard that for Dovecot/Mailir systems there are filesystems that are optimised for the situation of many small files in one folder. Could I possibly have some feedback on what the recommended filesystems are? I've heard of ReiserFS but was wondering what other options there are and how they compare. If I get a good comprehensive response I'll build a wiki summary page

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

hi I read ( I think in dovecot wiki) that ext2 or ext3 fs on a 2.4 kernel can get slow due to the number of files in a directory. Does anyone know if kernel 2.6 has similar limitation? I'm not at that point now, but before the box goes live, I'm wondering if I should resolve that. Glenn

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:

i have a question for the people who sponsor the samba team.

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

About two months ago our sysadmin upgraded to samba 2.2.7 and we have not had any oplock problems since. A heartfelt thanks from the University of Wisconsin in Madison to the Samba team for all their hard work. If our hundreds of users understood what was going on behind the scenes, they'd be thanking you too. --- Sam Barasch Computer Systems Support Department of Biostatistics
