-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I have a problem adding printer drivers for automatic downloading via samba for windows 2000 clients. Under cups I added my printer and copied the Adobe postscript driver files like mentioned in printer_driver2.html. And when I finally commit: cupsaddsmb -v -U root normal (normal is the name of the printer) And here is the output:

Hi there, I have a really ugly problem, which, as I know is partially selfmade. But to the problem: I have five servers running samba-2.2.3a-12 (latest Debian Woody release) which are controlled by one master server. All of the five servers act as pdc for an own nt-domain. Now to keep the administrative work as low as possible I have this one master server. Via this server we/our customer

hi i have NT and Windows 2000 Client served by a Samba PDC. This PDC is also CUPS-Printingserver. Now i up loaded the windows printing driver to the Samba-server into the print$ share. Under Windows 2000 i can download/install the driver with every PDC-account by clicking on the printershare, under Windows NT i need to be in the local administration group. Is there any possiblity to it under

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a strange problem with samba 3.0.14a. One of my users is experiencing a lot of temporary files created by winword 2003. Winword does delete the temp files under any other userid. The only difference I know of is that the problematic user was created after the automatic switch from samba 2.2.8a to 3.0.14a (during an upgrade from debian woody

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, last Thursday I upgraded a samba installation from 2.2.12 to 3.0.14a. Everything went fine with the debian packages. But... All roaming profiles are registry hacked to place the OE mailstore onto the home drive and this worked fine for the last two years. Now after the upgrade all of my users complain about corrupt dbx files. Can anyone tell

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a strange problem with samba (3.0.23), cups (1.2.1), windows 2k (all patches up2date) and the printer drivers (cups 5, cups 6). I setup samba to share the printers configured in cups and added the printer admin privilege to some users. Now I can upload the printer drivers using cupsaddsmb. This works without any problems. Even my Windows 2k

Occasional problems arise where the .pst file just will not copy from the users profile on the server. Doesn't seem to be related to the file size. Has anyone had issues with outlook and Samba PDC - (win2k clients). Solutions that have worked have ranged from complete loss of the .pst file to restarting users profile from scratch. thanks Alex Genna

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I'm on the way to implement samba with ldap on five servers (each owns a different nt-domain) and a master server which maintains the central user database which gets replicated to all the other servers. Now I have just one more problem, namely homedirs. I want every user to have a homedir to store for example his profile. This has to

Hello! What can I do to tell samba to do not show the printers. I've configured printing = no and removed the [printers]-Section, but I still see the printers section when browsing the server.

Why is it that when I use "/usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userad.pl -a Administrator -g dadm" that the group doesn't get changed to dadm? Instead it stays set to the value specified in $_defaultUserGid. Also, I must say that I find the default of *not* adding a group for the user very counter-intuitive. What exactly is the difference between gidNumber and primaryGroupID in a

2.2.7a It seems that samba-ldap is still to immature for any kind of production environment. The provided Perl scripts simply do not work with the 'add user script' setting or if they do, then there is an an undocumented bug, issue, etc. The scripts work fine from the command line but aparently samba won't execute them properly. Since I cannot expect my users to understand

currently, in order to join a win XP machine to a samba PDC, you have to use the root account (although you can use an smbpasswd and not the linux password). is there any way to set up another account to do this one particular task (one without uid=0)?. if we have users in remote places, i do not want to have to go over to their work station just to log them on the the domain. alsoi don't

Hi!

I set up a test server about a year ago to try this and gave up since it didn't seem that the processes were quite yet in place to do it .. I am evaluating the potential for Samba and Linux accounts (including postfix email accounts) to share the same passwords and have a process in place to encourage users to change their passwords and try to prevent esay to crack passwords Could someone

I have installed openldap and the samba.idealx.org ldap configuration and scripts, and now I have ldap authentication working wonderfully well. I'd like to be able to use the same ldap user database for other info such as phone numbers, email, etc, but I don't know how to add it or whether it is a good idea. Anyone done this?
