I am experiencing a performance issue with MYOB accounting package being served from a Debian 2.4.18 based server running samba. Clients are Win2K/WinXP clients in a small workgroup environment, all maping drive to samba 'data' share. Network is pure TCP/IP, no other (MS or Samba) servers on LAN. I've experimented with Oplocks and veto oplocks but to no result the performance of

Hi! I am experiencing problems adding a user (e.g. smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group on my samba-PDC using the ldapsam backend. When I add "Domain Admins" as a supplementary group, the Windows 2000 client doesn't treat smbadmin as an admin. However, using "Domain Admins" as the primary group (including setting sambaPrimaryGroupSID as

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

Hello all, I repost this mail with a new subject line because on the original one ("Unable to join domain from WNT4") i've got no respnse. version is 3.0.23d (the same happens with 3.0.21c ) running as a PDC OS: Linux 2.6.11.4-21.14-smp, (from SuSE 9.3) on dual Opterons. After upgrading from 3.0.11 to 3.0.23d, all Windows-NT4-sp6 machines were no longer DOMAIN-members - WinXP or

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

When I try to logon to my windows XP box I get the following error message from windows: Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Windows did not load your profile because a server copy of the profile folder already exists that does not have the correct security.

I have an [apps] share that was intended to be read-only (to keep viruses away) however some Windows programs require rw access to specific files. I don't want to open-up everything on the share to rw, only those specific files/directories that need 'w' access. Here's the dilemma: In order for users to be able to change a file, the file and directory it's in need to have rw

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"

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 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 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,

Hi, there appears to be a problem with a minor part of username map file interpretation. When I put an exclamation mark before a line in the file, that is supposed to stop any further mapping if a match has already been made. That's what I understand to be the case. This is not happening for me. When I connect from a Win2k machine as Administrator, the log file records the mapping from

Hi, I am about to conduct an experiment of temperature dependent development of an insect. Here I would like to know is if I could be able to find the parameters of the models what I will use in data analysis with R program. I have found some other softwares that can be used for parameter estimation but liscence would be needed, not open source. So I prefer to use R langauge if it is reliable

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

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

Hi! I have a problem using ntconfig.pol-policies for domain groups other than "Domain Users" and "Domain Admins". I am using Samba 2.2.7 with LDAP support as a PDC. Policies work as expected for "Domain Users" and "Domain Admins" but setting policies for any other group doesn't work. The "Browse"-list for AddGroups in poledit only shows

has anyone expereience with setting this up or better yet documented this procedure?? I have gotten samba to talk to my ldap 2.0x server but it will not allow me to use the net command to modify group mappings. I am including a dump of my samba log at debug level 10 when I issue these commands and the general section of my smb.conf file. --- commands issued [root@bast samba]# bin/net

I am in the process of planning for a samba upgrade. The current version of Samba (2.2.8a) runs on a Sunfire 280R with Solaris 8. The intended new platform is a sunfire V240 with Solaris 9 as the OS. The new version of Samba will be Samba-3.0.10. Please note that the Samba server will be a member of a domain. I've read Samba-3 by Example, Chapter 8 which describes to the process of updating

I'm not using CUPS for printing, instead clients have local printers and are using Windows' printer sharing. Can I assume it's safe to completely remove the following from smb.conf, or do I need to replace it with something: [global] printcap name = cups printing = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printer admin = root, smbadmin
