Has anyone on this list been able to configure samba in such a way so that it will authenticate to windows 2K acitve directory. What I want to do is this: install samba 2.2.7 onto a Redhat linux 7.3 system, then configure samba (I think using something called smb_pam) so that it will join the windows active directory domain. Is such a thing possible? Has anyone here done it? I can't find

Hi, I am new to this list and to the world of Linux so please forgive my basic knowledge. I am after some information regarding samba. We are running a few servers with RedHat 7.1 all with dual nics. One NIC of each goes to a level 3 routing switch on one network and the second NIC in each server goes out to different networks. We have a few Windows 95 machine that

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

hei everyone, I have a weird problem: if I do a # cd /somedir; stat somesubdir |grep Modify where /somedir is some directory on an SMB-mounted filesystem I get one datetime... but I I do: # cd /somedir; stat * |grep Modify for the same directory I get a Modify time which consistently differs by 1 second. As I'm writing a perl module to detect differences in a filesystem and rely on the

Hi, This problem is really getting frustrating. I have set up my debian 3 box w/ kernel 2.4.2 patched for ext2/3 ACL support. I have also installed all utilies, both attr and ACL. I have joined the box to my domain using winbind and smbpasswd. I can set permissions all right using setfacl with domain+user but when I try to change permissions via LAN using w2k/xp I get access denied/or it just

Dear all, Got a problem that turns me around. I'm quite new to samba. Yesterday when i tried the wbinfo -u/-g and other options worked without any worry. Also there was no error in the UNIX passwd program where i even changed the root password. This morning onwards i'm facing with problems where the wbinfo says there is an error looking up the domain for users and groups -h -i works

> We're using Redhat Linux 6.2 and Samba 2.0.7 for our file server. It is driven by an Intel Pentium III 900Mhz processor, 128MB PC133 DIMM, and RAID1 (40GB 5400rpm IDE). We have an average of 30-40 active connections.

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

I have this problem: there is a subnet 192.168.6.0/24 and the gateway is 192.168.6.1 which has also another nic 172.21.13.123 which belongs to subnet 172.21.13.0 where the PDC of NT-domain is. GW does NAT and it causes that computers/users in subnet 192.168.6.0 cant logon to NT-domain. Is it possible to put Samba in GW machine so that it can be a backup domain controller in NT-domain and it uses

Hello! I have a problem: I work in a company which is strictly windows-only, and I really need to replace a windows-xp machine - which is a member of the company's domain - with a linux machine (using samba). This new linux machine will have to upload backups of its data to a share within the domain. Thus, it needs to be a member of the domain (correct?). Obviously, I need to join the

Hi, I've got what I think is a pretty weird problem. I'm using redhat 8.0 and their latest samba rpm 2.2.7. I have a directory /virtuals/SAMARCAN/asterion_caen/hd4008/tiffout with about 600 tiff files in it. When I go this directory and try and delete them, it deletes about 100 of them or so, but while this is going on, it says:

I have two identical installations of samba v2.25 on linux boxes. On one system everything works fine but on the other, copies of smbd start but never terminate. The result is that the winduhs boxes that are trying to access the samba share get locked out and never find the samba server. The configurations of the two systems are identical and I am unable to determine why one works and the other

Hello, I have an annoying little issue. I am currently running Samba 2.2.5-10 as a Primary Domain Controller and have a number of shared drives with a variety of differing users and user rights all over the place. In my smb.conf file, I have the following share: [emergpo] path = /share/purchasing/emergpo force directory mode = 0770 create mode = 0770

Hi all, Well, I'm getting somewhere I think, I now have both ACL support and domain login basically working. However I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Basically I want to copy over a large number of files and directories (~300k files, ~60Gb total) from an existing W2k server to a Samba server. These files have existing ACLs set, so I need to preserve them somehow. I can

Can Samba be used as a complete replacement for a Windows 2000 Active Directory server? I have some vague notion that this can be accomplished by using a combination of OpenLDAP, Samba, MIT Kerberos, and the OpenAFS file system. To say the least, the descriptions I have found have been vague as to whether or not I will be able to completely replace the functionality of an Active Directory server

i have a question for the people who sponsor the samba team. "when are you going to realise that your money is being wasted by not sponsoring me as a design architect on NT compatibility software suites for unix?" here - yet again, another demonstration of how much money you have been wasting. hopefully this time this "really new" proposal - i.e. yet ANOTHER idea and

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,

Hello everybody, it's a few minutes that i've subscribed in your mailing list. nice to meat all of you. I have samba on redhat 8 as a file server for a couple of "win98" & "winXP"'s.It work's for my XP OS's but I don't know how to join the "win98" 's in. please help me thanks payam.

Hello Everyone, I have a few users that are complaining about the "slowness" of copying files to and saving files directly to the Samba server. From my own recollections, the speed is rather identical to the speed we experienced on our old Windows NT 4.0 fileserver. One thing that could be the impetus of this issue is that Samba is serving up files, for opening and copying from the
