similar to: Disabling NBT

Is it possible to disable all lookup protocols and only use DNS using samba when all hosts are w2k and a samba 3 domain controller? I am only saying this on the assumption that you can disable wins, netbios, nbt when using DNS and a Microsoft AD as a domain controller. If so what should the smb.conf file look like. thanks

When I use smbclient to access an IOMEGA NAS server, smbclient tries to access port 445 for a full five minutes before timing out: [2004/02/20 17:48:24, 10] lib/gencache.c:gencache_get(262) Returning valid cache entry: key = NBT/NAS_120_1#20, value = 192.168.123.161:0, timeout = Fri Feb 20 17:53:22 2004 [2004/02/20 17:48:24, 5] libsmb/namecache.c:namecache_fetch(201) name

Hi All, I would like to know if this is possible and if possible what is the complexity. Consider a CIFS client, SAMBA Server1 and Samba Server2. Say a session is established between a CIFS client and SAMBA server1. Is it possible for the SAMBA server1 to transfer/redirect/reestablish the connection to SAMBA server2 without the CIFS client knowing about this? The session between the CIFS

I need to allow [read] access to a Samba server using both IP filtering & UserIDs . For a given list of IP subnets, any user should have access. Outside these 'trusted' subnets, I need to do User authentication. I can handle the User authentication OK in several ways. However, I don't see any way to do the 'short circuit' allow for some IPs, then use User authentication

Please cc all responses to me. Windows 2000 supports SMB/CIFS over TCP port 445 without going through NetBIOS. Does Samba support this, and if so, how do I configure it to *only* allow this and not SMB over NBT?

I am running several samba servers (2.2.3a and 2.2.7) in various places as pdcs. Everything seems to be running smoothly, but I can't find any way of restricting access to only those uses who have logged on to the domain. Is this possible? ie at the moment, any user can map a drive to \\server\share, put in a valid user/password pair and have access to that share without going through any

hi all, I am configuring a samba server version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix, under redhat 8.0 I would like to configure which user have access to the home directory and which not the smb.conf home configuration is: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = +homeusr create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 where homeusr group is the group

I have 3.0.2a (with about 75 machines/users) installed as a PDC for my Win2k users and found an oddity. (waiting for a bin version of 3.0.3 for RH8.0) All was fine before I left 2.2.8.... But now when users hit <CTL>-<ALT>-<DEL> and change the password, they get "domain not available". When they log in, they get the logon scripts to execute, and anything else I do to

Hi All, can anyone make any sense of the error below, please advise if I need to log this as a bug but I'm not sure how to further diagnose what is happening. This is from my winbindd log file, thanks Andy. [2003/11/07 17:47:59, 1] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(832) winbindd version 3.0.0 started. Copyright The Samba Team 2000-2003 [2003/11/07 17:48:00, 1]

I can get authentication to work on linux 7.1 with samba 3.0alpha15 if I make valid users = @"INS+Domain Users", but if I try to set valid users to just a single user: valid users = INS+DavidSha, it fails to give me access. I see the following in log.winbindd. It looks like it is looking for a domain called DavidSha?!? My winbindd separator is +. Can somebody please respond to this.

Hi, i was searching in the source code, but i didn't find any MAX_MPX or something like that. How can i change MAX_MPX_REQUESTS that smbd can handle?

This is a question before i go into production with my setup. Thanks everyone for the assistance i received while setting up Samba. I am going to have an AS/400 mount an NFS directory on my linux server and it is going to be constantly writing to this share. Also about 400 users are going to be connected to this same share through samba, accessing via windows NT. Has anyone heard of any issues

I've read that Samba can be a WINS server or a WINS client, but not both. However, wouldn't Samba, when acting as a WINS server also be a WINS client in the sense that it will examine its own WINS database for NETBIOS name resolution? It just wouldn't make sense if it didn't. Maybe the reference I read is more for the purpose of exposing the mutual exclusivity of the "WINS

All, Does anyone know anything about librsync, and where it is currently maintained = on the web? It apparently is/was a samba project, but I'm not sure how it relates. The authors are listed as: Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org> but I suspect someone else did the 0.9.5.1 update, because only 0.9.5 is = available on the rproxy site
