Martin, There is a great deal more that needs to be done other then the creation of a smb.conf file for setting up a PDC for any Windows workstations. Unfortunately, I only have experience with setting up a PDC for a mixed bag of Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0 and Win2K systems. The only WinXP machine we utilize is one laptop, which is rarely ever attached to the corporate network. So,

Hi, how can I make my Samba PDC create roaming profiles for my XP-Environments? Further I would like to know whether there is the possiblity to remote (from XP) administer the Samba-Server. Thanks, Martin -- ========================================================== I. Thessalonians 4:16 Thanks, Dad, for just letting me be a nerd. We don't stop playing because we grow older, We

Hi everybody, I assume this is no real problem but only some setup thing but I don't get through it. How can I mount only shares that a specified group is supposed to see? Meaning if I have somebody member of grp1 I want him to see dir A. If some one is member of grp2 I want him to see dir B. So a section of our company can have his own shared directory for their own.. At the moment I

Hi, I'm having problems with my printer, I can't access the printer not even as root! Please review my smb.conf and give me some hints on what I messed up. If you have some enhancements for me please add comments. Thanks for your efforts, Martin -- ========================================================== I. Thessalonians 4:16 Thanks, Dad, for just letting me be a nerd. We

Additional Info... I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what I am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course, it also mentions the name of the PDC. If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done. However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC. With a Samba BDC, should I leave the

Ralf, I am using Samba 2.2.5-10 and haven't had any issues with getting Win2K clients to connect to the domain after getting Samba properly configured as a PDC. It could be a minor configuration issue. Although, in my reading I could only get confirmation that Samba 2.2.5-x would work with Windows 2000 Clients regardless of the Service Pack level. You might need to take a

Hi, I tried your suggestion (I assume the "server" = hostname, because there is no server name defined in smb.conf), still can see the problem. This time, I even could not see my linux box from Network Neighbor ?? (This happened before, I was not always be able to see it. Windows seems to update its cache each 10 minits which will erase any unaccessable computer names, that may

I believe that your issue is related to UNIX permissions. The location of your profiles directory must be set to allow all users R/W to it. Create a new group in your group file and add every user to it. Then change the ownership of the profiles directory. Also make sure that all of your users have R/W permissions on that directory.

I ran into a similar problem with one of my machines. I simply couldn't quite understand why it happened. I did destroy and recreate the machine account and it still persisted. I ended up changing the machine name and creating a new machine name for the system. That is the only fix that I am aware of at this time.

DrTebi, I would setup a VPN (Which is outside the scope of this list) tunnel into your machine running Samba. Then you could use Samba as though you were locally connected to the network the Samba server is living on. Other then that, I wouldn't recommend using Samba connected directly to the internet. Of course, that is based upon my limited knowledge of Samba and network

I am unsure if that is quite possible... However, I think that it would be best to address this to a Windows Mailing list of some sort. There may well be an answer that you can alter to work with whatever Samba installation that you have. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

Randy, I believe that it is a simple matter of calling out the local path that you wish to have profiles placed on each machine, in the smb.conf. Example: logon path = C:\Documents and Settings\%u The above should work, for you. I haven't done so myself, since each user on my network has their own unique mailbox, which is saved onto the server when they log off. Which is very

When you mean register the client, are you meaning "Join the Domain"? Unless I am mistaken, I believe the machine account that you had to create using smbpasswd creates the SID in the smbpasswd file, if you copy that file over to the new server, and also copy over all the netlogon information, profiles and such. Then you should have no issues and it will be

Jim, Perhaps you should forward your concerns to the OpenLDAP developers list and hopefully they can work out something to streamline the process. Perhaps they are already working on streamlining the system and require some help in tightening up some of their ideas. I am sure that they would welcome any suggestions that you may have. Of course, some of the issues that you have

Everyone could setup an auto-responder to send replies to his E-mail address that contains instructions on how to properly setup his mail filters to skip the auto reply to this and any other mailing lists he is associated with. Perhaps when his company sees the incredible slow-down on their mail server and investigates the issue. They could unplug his machine from their network,

Brendan, Unless I am seriously mistaken, I believe that by adding this 'wide links = no' to each share section will end the ability to create and use symlinks on your shares. I am unsure why anyone would want to really include symlinks into a Samba share. Does anyone care to enlighten me? Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

Yes, there is a line in the smb.conf called 'domain admin group =' Just put the UNIX group name that you wish to have admin rights on Windows to there. Then open up your group file and add whomever needs those rights on the system. I have found that needs to be done the first time that a user account is setup on a Windows workstation when Office needs to install a few files

Simon, What version of Windows XP are you using? If your client has purchased computers from Best Buy or a similar electronics "mega-store" they likely received WinXP Home Edition. (Which is what it sounds like based upon the use of Win9x machines you mentioned.) If that is the case, then you will be unable to get the WinXP machines to see the Samba Server (or a Windows
