I have a mac osx 10.2.3 as a server, anyone unfamiliar with it, it uses admin as main user. root is still on the system. Admin is admin of the password server which is required to login to samba. therefore root can't be the one to join. yet admin doesn't have rights to modify smbpasswd. I know the smb.conf config should work. I have added the users and machines using smbpasswd

I have a win2k domain ... 2 of the client machines are Red Hat (7.3 and 8.0). I set everything up to use the DC to authenticate ID/PW. Everything worked perfectly until a week or so ago ... Samba would automatically create a home folder and the whole nine yards. Now I can see the shares on the Samba machines, but I can't access them ... just prompts for the ID/PW over and over. I can mount

Hi, I've finally been dragged kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of XP. I've been able to join a domain and login with the help of the docs on samba.org and gleaning info from this list. Google and I don't get along. My question is How do I get the logon script to run when XP logs in? Win 98 doesn't have a problem running the logon script. Here is part of the

Can anyone provide me a few suggestions? I installed Redhat 8.0 on my laptop. XP Pro on my windows box. I am using Samba/SWAT at the moment as well. I have the basic smb.conf that I took from the example folder and made no changes except opening the public share. (unfortunately I am at work so I cant show exactly what I have). I also added the workgroup = line under [global] and added my

Is there a place that has all the options that you can add to the smb.conf file in verion 3. How to set up as a domain controller and how the acl's work. The documentation for verion 2.x on the samba web site is excellent , but I was not able to find any for 3.x. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We are using SAMBA 2.2.4 to support a large community of Windows users. The latest deployment of PC's come with Windows XP, and we need to disable Password Encryption on those to use SAMBA. We need help in locating the "EnablePlainTextPassword" key. Thanks in advance Jaime A Cifuentes

I have a mac running Mac OS X ans samba 2.2.5 which is provided by Apple. The Linux server have samba 2.2.8 (the last one). Sometimes, in the server logs, you have: [2003/03/26 14:26:30, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436) read_data: read failure for 4. Error = No route to host in this case, the Macclient lost the samba connection and has to reboot because a silly error (Mac error: -47, %

Hoping someone can give me a pointer on this: I'm trying to connect a Mac OS X 10.2.6 machine to Samba 2.2.8 hosted on a Linux 2.2.20 machine. I can authenticate, connect to a share, navigate through. I can even delete and move files. But, whenever I try to save a file in most programs, or copy a file in the Finder, I'm told that I don't have the privileges to do it. Strangely

I thought that it was quite impossible to do that due to the Domain SID as well as the SAM list that currently Samba is unable to retrieve. (Not that it would have helped me any, since our old NT 4.0 PDC took a major Hardware failure.) How would one duplicate the SID, is that possible with 'smbpasswd -S' from the new Samba DC?

Hi, I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about Apple. FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients? I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms of support

We have recently upgraded from Samba 2.0.4 to 2.2.7 on our test machine with a view to using W2K and WXp clients. We are using Samba on Solaris 7 version of Unix. Our client PC's are all NT 4, SP5. We have a default profile for users who login and load the major application (they don't see any of the NT desktop or have access to the Start button). Other users who have access to the desktop

Hello, We are having this issue with samba and OSX 10.2.3. We are using freebsd4.7 serving samba as a fileserver for our company, we have a mix of windows and macs connecting to it. The windows machines work just fine the macs are another story. I have narrowed it down to this: I can open a file/document from the fileserver on my mac and edit it but it tells me I dont have the permissions to

After reading through the documentation, I realized that as a part of the migration process from Samba-2.2.X to Samba-3.0.0 I needed to convert everyone in my smbadmin group (previously domain admin group = @smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group w/rid=512. So, I issued the following command: [root@localhost profile]# net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins"

this isn't strictly a samba question, but it is related in that i'm trying to a samba server as my domain master browser and multiple samba servers as local master browsers for a workgroup across multiple subnets. everything seems to be working wonderfully except for one WfWG host which does not show up in the browse list as expected. i notice that this host is announcing itself as a

Hi all! Here is my problem: I have installed RedHat Linux version 6.0 on a computer and I want to share its resources via samba. Unfortunately, my computer - which is running WfWg 3.11 for Eastern Europe and the trumpet winsock TCP/IP stack is not able to see the samba server. Other computers, running Win95, Linux and WfWg with M$ TCP/IP stack perform OK. I have tried the following combinations:

Has anybody got some experience with connecting machines running Windows3.1 or WfWG (3.11) to Samba? We would like to run a small lab network with user accounts and a shared printer off the samba box. Samba is running fine and there's no problem to connect to it from the Win95/WinNT machines...
