Greetings, all, I have a fresh install of Samba 2.2.7 on a Solaris 9 machine. Stand alone, not part of a domain. Testing with a stand alone Windows 2000 professional client with service pack 3 installed. I am having problems setting defaults for the installed printer drivers and I have been unable to load Win98 drivers to go along with the W2k drivers. Printers being tested are an HP LJ

Greetings, I have Samba 4.4.7 running on several Sparc boxes running Solaris 9 as member servers in an Active Directory environment. (I do not control the AD configuration) I am able to connect to the servers using windows clients and smbclient - the problem I have run into is when I try to add domain users to local groups on the Samba servers I am told the users do not exist. As these

Greetings, My odd question for the week - I've been unable to figure out if/how to do this. Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the user's real name? During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that for my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue

Hello, I'm having problems configuring Samba to work using ADS. I've successfully compiled LDAP. When I try ./configure --with-pam --with-winbind --with-ads --with-krb5 --with-ldap It says "Active Directory support requires LDAP support" Are there any variables that need to be set? I've done --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap (This the prefix for openldap). I'm

Greetings, No helpful hints have been offered to my winbind issues with Samba 3.4.9 and Solaris 9 I started trying to build Samba 3.5.6. Using gcc 3.4.6. I added "-lintl" to the LIBS option in the Makefile which cleared some earlier linker errors involving libintl_gettext, libintl_textdomain and libintl_bindtextdomain being undefined, except with winbind: Linking shared library

Greetings, I have an elderly installation of Samba 3.5.8 running on 10 Sparc servers (and 3.5.12 on Solaris 9 servers with the same issue) set up as Active Directory member servers. Since we've laid-off everyone else around here I have not had the opportunity to update the Samba installation - and have not needed to as it has been very solid. Suddenly last Friday the Samba servers

Yes, I know that version is obsolete and as soon as I can actually get the later versions of Samba to run and behave on my Solaris 10 boxes i will upgrade. AD member servers. Using rid to map UID numbers as not available from our AD folks. Two of the machines are going on their merry own way rather than creating the same UID numbers for AD users that other samba servers are using. On two

Greetings, Still trying to get Samba 3.0.15pre2 built on a Solaris 9 box with PAM support. I am using gcc 3.3.2 and I have openldap-2.2.24, krb5-1.4, and Cyrus SASL 2.1.20 installed. I have found other posting by people with problems building on Solaris as well as asking about the "_pam_macros.h" file that seems to be missing on Solaris. Posting about problems, but not with

Greetings, Still no progress trying to get Samba 3.5.6 built on Solaris 10, using gcc 3.4.6. Maybe fresh eyes will see something? Been having issues building samba since 3.4.9 (and anything greater than 3.2.15 on Solaris 9 where samba will build, but winbind will not work properly for user authentication.) techops$ make Using CFLAGS = -I/opt/local/kerberos5/include -O -I.

Greetings, I have been working on getting Samba 3.0.20rc2 on a Sun Solaris box to play nice with our institution's Active Directory (AD) environment. The AD set-up is pretty plain and I have no ability to make changes to its configuration - a different department runs that show. Should I be able to store the roaming profile information on my Samba server in an AD environment? The rest

Greetings, I've been reading and re-reading "Chapter 12. Group Mapping: MS Windows and UNIX", Mailing list messages with the subjects "valid users = +group doesn't work" and "Unix ADS group membership or vice versa" and all I've gotten is more confused. I have to move my samba servers from a Samba PDC environment to Active Directory (AD) where they will

I don't know which software to blame. Two of my Windows XP users get an extra page of output every time they print to our HP 8500 color laserjet. The driver is in print$ on the server. I do not believe that _all_ of the XP users are having the problem, which is strange. But it's wasting a lot of paper and they are complaining. If it's SAMBA do you guys have any ideas how I

I have a Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) Samba 2.2.4 PDC and fileserver built with --with-ldapsam. The clients are either win9x or WinY2k. Authenitcation, etc... all works great. But print sharing is a real pain. Under 2.2.1a printing worked great, but our VOIP phone system wouldn't joint the domain until we upgraded to 2.2.4. Initial testing of 2.2.4 made it seem like everything

Hello, I'm hoping that somebody out there can help with this strange problem... First off I'm running Kernel 2.6.9, Samba 3.0.9 on Debian Linux, with WinXP clients. Users working out of their home directories are creating and saving Excel documents and when they later attempt to edit and save the document they've created it results in this message from Excel 2000: "Document

I have Samba 2.2.6 complied against Cups 1.1.16 on a Sparc system running Solaris 9. Cups has replaced the stock system V lp spooler on this system (original packages removed.) Cups working from UNIX command line is A-OK. I have been working on setting up Samba to play nice with cups. I have followed the instructions from both the Cups and Samba websites to set up downloading of the

Greetings, Similar to the other CUPS thread, but not the same. Samba 2.2.5 built on a Sparc Solaris 9 box with Cups 1.1.5. I've set up Samba to print with Cups as outlined in the docs. I am able to download the generic Adobe print driver to my Windows 2000 clients but the Windows 98 clients are asking for a local driver to be installed. Looking at verbose output from cupsaddsmb,

Greetings and Happy New Year, My samba print server is still running 2.2.2 and I've not been able to upgrade it past that point. I have not been able to get the printer drivers to behave properly in ANY later version. Currently I am testing Samba 2.2.7 running under Solaris 9. I have been using HP Laserjet 4000 and 8150 postscript drivers in my testing. I am seeing two distinct

... When I install the W2K drivers and set the options for each printer, only users in the printer admin group see the customized settings. Normal users only see the default settings that the driver originally installed, not the ones I edited (such as duplex installed, additional papertrays and output trays, and paper/tray assignment.) The normal users are also unable to alter these
