Hi all, I'm not yet a "100 % Samba Guru" and I'd very much appreciate feedback of some guru's out there regarding the following: Our team started trials with Samba 2.2.5 on Red Hat AS using OpenLDAP technologies and a LDAP backend keeping Samba's "SAM data". Ideally we want to kick out as much of Microsoft's server infrastructure as possible - means

Is it possible to use the Windows security on a Samba share which resides on a Unix server which is a MEMBER of a W2K domain ?? I am unable to make the unix server a PDC due to restrictions in the company. I have 27 users with different accesses to the same directories/files and I am trying to avoid a monster smb.conf file. I am running 2.2.5 on an HPUX 11 w/o winbind (users have unix access,

Hi, I have been trying to connect to Samba over the Internet as I have static IP that is publicly available for connection. I can use this IP to connect to our Intranet web site but Samba doesn't work correctly when trying to connect to it from outside. Our internal network addresses work fine. Even a VPN connection, which gets our internal address scheme works. But, when trying to use

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

I'm using a Linux workstation in an NT domain environment. I ran into a problem today where my NT password had expired and I could no longer use any services (e.g., Outlook). I found the domain controller host and attempted to use smbpasswd -r <host> to change the password, however it simply returned NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_EXPIRED (duh!). After trying for a couple hours to change the

I work for IBM and our developers have used jCIFS 0.8.2 in our product. We are now going through legal approval and have some questions. If people submit code changes to your product, do you find out if the submitter has the right to distribute the code? If so, do they need to sign any kind of statement? I couldn't find version 0.8.2 on your web site. The legal question is

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

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,

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

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

John, I haven't done any direct performance testing, although I am planning on figuring that out now. (BTW, how is performance testing ran?) However, I can say that since converting over to the Samba PDC/File Server that the file transfer performance just feels much faster. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

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

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

Hello All, I was curious to know if there is any method for recovering data that has been deleted by a user on accident, this occurred prior to the running of the official back-up. Anyway, a user ended up losing a few hours of work, so I need to attempt to recover what I can, if at all possible. Any suggestions?

There's a phantom domain master browser showing up in my Samba nmbd.log file. I keep thinking that maybe it is left over in one of the files that I transferred over from the old server to the new server and it isn't clearing itself out. Is there a way to clear that and is it possible to have a phantom browser fighting over the Domain from a copied over file? I transferred all of the

Hello All, I have put together a Samba PDC for a mixed Bag of Windows Client workstations. We have a few Windwos 9x, some Win NT 4.0 and a handful of Windows 2000 workstations. The server is operating fine as a PDC for all workstations, all the permissions are properly set and things are running mostly smoothly. There are a few things that are somewhat slow moving on the network.

Is there a package to do the opposite of Samba? I.e. I want to use (mount) Win filesystems from a Unix client. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rick von Richter Production Support Manager Voice: 858-831-2222 rickv@mwh.com Maintenance Warehouse/Home Depot Fax: 858-831-2221

First off, thanks! :) It appears that the issue could be a bad switch. At this time, I have turned down the server's NIC to run at 10baseT-FD and the performance has seriously increased. It now takes roughly 25 to 35 seconds to copy and 8mb file to the server, but it now takes a little longer to copy a file from the server. So, we are now in the market for some far superior network
