Hello! What can I do to tell samba to do not show the printers. I've configured printing = no and removed the [printers]-Section, but I still see the printers section when browsing the server. Any hints? regards Markus Schabel +--------------------------------------------+ | TGM - Die Schule der Technik | | IT-Service | | A-1200 Wien, Wexstrasse

currently, in order to join a win XP machine to a samba PDC, you have to use the root account (although you can use an smbpasswd and not the linux password). is there any way to set up another account to do this one particular task (one without uid=0)?. if we have users in remote places, i do not want to have to go over to their work station just to log them on the the domain. alsoi don't

Hi! I'm running Samba 2.2.7a as Domain Controller, and when I try to add a workstation to the domain, I get always the following logentry (and the operation fails): [2002/12/20 14:30:21, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:pdb_getsampwnam(859) LDAP search "(&(uid=vmware-w2ks_)(objectclass=sambaAccount))" returned 0 entries.

Why is it that when I use "/usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userad.pl -a Administrator -g dadm" that the group doesn't get changed to dadm? Instead it stays set to the value specified in $_defaultUserGid. Also, I must say that I find the default of *not* adding a group for the user very counter-intuitive. What exactly is the difference between gidNumber and primaryGroupID in a

2.2.7a It seems that samba-ldap is still to immature for any kind of production environment. The provided Perl scripts simply do not work with the 'add user script' setting or if they do, then there is an an undocumented bug, issue, etc. The scripts work fine from the command line but aparently samba won't execute them properly. Since I cannot expect my users to understand

I set up a test server about a year ago to try this and gave up since it didn't seem that the processes were quite yet in place to do it .. I am evaluating the potential for Samba and Linux accounts (including postfix email accounts) to share the same passwords and have a process in place to encourage users to change their passwords and try to prevent esay to crack passwords Could someone

As a newbie, can anyone advise me if Asterisk can route international calls to a US based service such as Net2Phone so we can take advantage of the internet and save on calls?

My office network has a RH 7.3 server running Bind 9, Samba, WINS for NetBIOS name resolution, ten+ Win2K workstations, and uses DHCP from the Linksys router to hand out IPs for the workstations. Is there any way to do dynamic DNS updates so that the workstations' IPs are tracked in DNS? Chris Mason masonc@masonc.com Box 340, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies Tel: 264 497 5670 Fax:

I have a Redhat 7.2 server for DNS, Web, File Sharing via Samba, for my SOHO network of 6 Win2K workstations. I have a workgroup, not a domain. The server is on a static IP and the workstations are DHCP assigned the Dlink gateway, which also tells them the DNS IP. I am having a problem where some of the workstations can see some of the others in Network Neighbourhood, but some can't. SMB

I had a major problem to today. The owner of a company I built a network for had a directory in her home directory containing most of her work documents go missing. I looked at the log for her workstation and she did work on them in the morning. By afternoon, she return to her workstation and tried to open the directory but it was gone. The directory and all the directories and files were there

Hi there, does anyone know where I can get new samba packages for debian, because woody is at 2.2.3a-12 and this version has definitev a problem with Access 97 databases... *arg* And I'm not able to produce new debian packages myself.

I use a openLDAP database for authentication on my Redhat 7.2 server. The domain is "HOME". I have had no problem adding trust accounts and authenticating against it. Today I had to change the name of my Win2K workstation from poseiden to poseiden1 for compatibility with a package I am testing. Once I changed it and put in a new trust account, I could not rejoin the domain. I gave up and

In an small business network I have built for a hospitality client, I have several Win2K workstations and a Redhat 7.3 server using Samba for PDC and file sharing, user's home directories, etc. Users can float as there are not enough machines and some workers are not deskbound. Everything works great at this stage. No I have to integrate a Point of Sale system. The POS system runs on Win98

I ave a several windows 2K workstations in a local network, and I am using Samba 2.2.4 on a Redhat 7.2 server for file storage and DNS. Sometimes I cannot connect from one workstation to another although I can see that it exists. If I type "Net view" I get a list of hosts and I can reach some but not others. Samba is setup to be the preferred master and I am not using a domain

I have a backup script that copies the contents of a backup directory to my local server at night. The command is run from a script: /etc/cron.daily/backup /usr/bin/rsync -arvz -e ssh user@servername.com:/home/backups/* backup_disk/servername/ The output from the cron job is: Permission denied, please try again.

I just downloaded the 2.2.4-2 src.rpm file from samba.org and installed and compiled on my intel-redhat 7.2 system. When I changed to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 I found only i386/samba-2.2.4-2.i386.rpm in it. There was no other rpms, even though the spec file says there will be. Here's the last few lines of the build output, I only see two rpms being created.

For all my PBX installations I want to have Fail Over on the main incoming PSTN line so that a power outage does not leave the offices stranded. Is there any commercial solution to this?

My redhat 9 server is using samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 - everything was fine until I recently tried to change the users password from his workstation, and got the famous "Domain is not available" error. I would like to upgrade the server's samba install but not anything else as everything on the server is stable and I can't have a lot of disruption if there are upgrade problems, which
