similar to: Default domain for winbindd?

Now that I have winbind working, life is good. However, I've hit upon a real kick in the pants. As you can see from my email address, we have a convention here of usernames being firstname.lastname. So, when I go to change the owner ship of a file: $ chown chris.palmer myfile Linux thinks I mean user chris, group palmer, and says "invalid group" (there is no palmer group,

We are running a windows 2000 domain where I work. I am developing a linux client for desktop deployment so that we can stop the spread of cancer (read microsoft). I can get winbind to join the domain, but when i try a winfo -t, it tells me "could not check secret". I have scoured the internet looking for help and could not find anything. I used the HOW TO from John Trostel, with no

I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find the FAQ document for this list. I also could not find anything relevant in other Samba documentation sources like http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html. There seems to be plenty of information about using Samba *as* a DC, but I want to know if I can use Samba *with* a Windows 2000 DC. We have two DCs running Windows 2000, a W2K

I've been looking thru manpages and online for help..... I *think* I've got winbind mostly setup (somehow) but it seems to be using the wrong Domain. Some info: I am running RH7.3 Kernel 2.4.18-3 Samba 2.2.7 In my smb.conf file I have: [global] security = Domain workgroup = LMC winbind separator = + winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind

Hallo, > We have problems with printing after installing XP SP2. > In nearly every software it takes about 10 seconds to 30 seconds, if you > click on "Print-Button" and wait for the print dialogue window. > Extremly slow are programs like MS Word (30 seconds, when you open a > document the first time). same problem here.

Greetings, We are running samba 3.0.7 with cups 1.1.20 to serve printing to WinXP pro SP1 clients running Microsoft Access 2002 Our users are having problems "Creating reports in design view" in MS Access when the default printer is a samba queue. As soon as you change the default printer to a non samba queue, everything works fine. I've been searching the archives and it

Hi, I posted this problem before in more detail (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=104756899022766&w=2) but received no response. At the current state of Smaba 3.0 and Samba-TNG these two seem to be incomaptible. Samba 3.0 can't join a TNG controlled domain. I think this should affect a lot of installations as TNG as a controller and "stable" as file/printserver seem

I am having the same trouble with automatically mounted home shares with samba 2.2.1a (PDC, domain logins, roaming profiles) and NT4WS sp6a. If I login as one user, logout, then login as another, I can view the previous users home share as well as my newly logged in users home share (lather, rinse, repeat...). The NT box has a machine account, domain logins work, profiles work, login scripts

Hi All, I am current working on Samba + LDAP PDC in RHEL-4. I some problem when doing the smbldap-useradd -w command. When I have a WinXP box try to join the PDC, smbldap-useradd -w "%u" will add a workstation account to the LDAP tree with all POSIX attribute but without all the SambaSAMAccount attribute. So, the WinXP box can find it's workstation account and wouldn't

Hello, I recently figured out, that it is impossible to activate the "Advanced Printer Features" of any printer attached to a samba server. The idea was simple: set up a cups print server, create raw printers, publish them via Samba and distribute corresponding driver files. Everything works fine, except of the general setting for the "Advanced Printer Features". Root is able

hello, I'm having a problem with print files not being deleted out of /var/spool/samba directory after a print job completes. Right now I am running RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.5 with CUPS 1.1.14 as my printing system. I was under the impression that after the job completed Samba was suppose to remove the job from that spool directory. Right now it just grows and grows until I have to

I was wondering if any one else is having issues with supplementary groups not being recognized. It seems as if Samba is ignoring the sup.groups. I'm using RH9.0 on Intel with samba-3.0.0-2_rh9 and OpenLDAP 2.0.27. When I do a "id -a username" the user is in all the necessary groups but when accessing shares the users' primary GID is used only. For example, uid=1001(jgray)

Hi folks, I have successfuly migrated a WinNT 4.0 Domain to a Debian server with Samba3+Ldap following the Samba-3 by Example guide from John H. Terpstra (an impressive good guide) and The Linux Samba-OpenLADP Howto from Jerome Tournier & Olivier Lemaire. The domain holds about 800 accounts. There are WinNT servers, WinXP and Win95 clients belonging to it. WinNT servers and WinXP clients

Hi We've noticed that we get zero length files left behind on Samba shares after printing to a Samba printer, of the form NExx: (appears as NExx~yy) from Windows due to name mangling. This only occurs in specific circumstances: Client running NT4 (SP6a) and Printing file on a Samba share and Printing to a Samba printer and Running particular applications (e.g. Word and Acrobat, but not

Hi I found a patch for Samba 3.0.2 allowing to add hosts as member of the domain admin group. (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=107938779530259&w=2) Has anybody seen a patch for Samba 3.0.3? It took a look at srv_samr_nt.c but I don't think the old patch will fit. Why doesn't samba allow domain admins to add hosts to a domain? I don't want to give the root password to

Hello, I have the same problem this post : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=114881731013700&w=2 After read the solution, What can i do for an production server on next week ? samba 3.0.22 is stable version, anybody know if it fixed this bug. thanks. Rodolphe

Hello, I've got performance problems with copying small files over to a Samba share in a directory that has lots of small files (10000 to 20000 files). It takes too long time to copy new files (they drip in at a fast pace), and smbd eats a lot of CPU time. Is there any way to make Samba run faster in this situation?

I have tried the following steps: Attached the computer to the domain. Logged into the computer as a Domain Administrator. Gone to my computer -> user profiles. Selected the users local profile

Hi all, We use samba here at our site as an interop solution for use with ClearCase. I'm afraid I'm just a lowly ClearCase administrator not a Unix administrator. All our solaris servers are running Solaris 8 and we're using Samba version 2.2.2 First Question : Our Unix Admin guy has said that we can't upgrade our version of Samba as 2.2.2 is the latest version that Sun have
