Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

I'm having problems accessing Samba shares from my XP Pro machine. Samba 2.2.7 is installed on two Redhat 8.0 machines and configured using SWAT. I have user level security and encrypted passwords setup. I have a printer shared on both servers as well as home directories and one restricted access share. My printers are setup for guest access so all machines will always be able to print.

Hi I have Win2k servers connecting to the samba server by mapping a windows user to unix user. We never had any problems with thsi connectivity but for past 2 weeks we have an erratic problem which causes the windows account to lock thus making samba unfunctional. When I get the windows account unlocked then samba starts functioning properly again. I do not have a scenario to reproduce the

Trying to join a SAMBA domain from Win2K SP3. It fails the password check for 'root' as per the log entries below, then it defaults to 'nobody' which then tries to run 'useradd' to add the windows machine name, failing, of course. I tried this both with lanman auth = yes and no... encrypt password = yes I can connect to Samba shares just fine from windows using

Samba Folks, I have a major problem with Samba 2.2.8 randomly dropping network connections on our Solaris 2.8 SUN systems and could use some help. On a random basis Samba will drop network connections and not allow them to re-established until the PC system is rebooted. The disconnect error is typically a broken pipe error: 2003/02/21 09:42:03, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(499)

Hi all, Is there any problem in authentication to samba in Windows 2003 AD.? I am intermittently getting authentication failures in smbd.log. ~~~ 2003/09/18 14:28:02, 1] smbd/password.c:server_validate(1176) password server HYDGCS01.HYD.CORP.INT.UNTD.COM rejected the password [2003/09/18 14:28:02, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1369) unable to open passdb database.

I've gotten passed the problem I had with joining the domain. However, I am still having problems with the authentication of domain user accounts against the samba server. wbinfo -u shows my users from the domain correctly. wbinfo -g does the same for my domain groups. getent passwd shows the domain users as expected. wbinfo -t shows a good trust. wbinfo -a allows me to authenticate any

Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 7/SPARC. Windows 2000 SP2 domain controller (native mode). Joined samba to domain as per htmldocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.html. [global] workgroup = DOM security = domain password server = charon However, connecting to shares as non-guest fails due to authentication problems (below). As htmldocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.html indicates this does work, is there some other magic that needs

Hi all, We are having some problems getting a solaris 9(sparc) file server running samba 2.2.2 to authenticate aginst a windows NT 4 PDC. Let me say first that this was all working at one time, then we had some data corrumption on our NFS mounted /usr/local, and had to restore from tape. Due to some issues with solaris ufsdump and ufsrestore, stuff was not quite put back properly. We do

Hi all, We use samba here at our site as an interop solution for use with ClearCase. I'm afraid I'm just a lowly ClearCase administrator not a Unix administrator. All our solaris servers are running Solaris 8 and we're using Samba version 2.2.2 First Question : Our Unix Admin guy has said that we can't upgrade our version of Samba as 2.2.2 is the latest version that Sun have

I have installed Samba-tng as PDC. It works fine. Now I'd like to install Samba-head server on same machine as domain member and to auth users through PDC. I have joined Samba to domain with smbpasswd -j KIROV. It says Joined Ok. But users can't see any shares on samba-head server. smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1556) domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account

Hello, I have 2.2.6.p2 installed as a PDC and there are around ten PCs(Win2k sp2 and 3) in this domain. Everything works fine and recently I tried to add two extra PCs in this domain, but Win2k PC generates an error message saying "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "hm": No mapping between account names and security IDs was done". As usual

Hi, I'm having a problem with the smbd process losing its connection to the password server. Smbd can successfully authenticate a user upon initial connection. Then after some time (within a matter of 10-20 minutes) if the user tries to use the mapped drive, he sometimes gets prompted with an authentication dialog box. Nothing that is typed into this box will be accepted, and the user

Dear Listmembers, apparently my attachement was not distributed via the list, therefore I add it once again to this email; plain text following my question. Many thanks for any suggestion in advance: I am using a SPARC ULTRA 60 / running SuSE sparc linux 7.3 as server for our M$-Network. I recently installed samba-2.2.8a from SuSE (compiled src-rpm), since then I am facing problems when attaching

what is the 'passwd chat' line for Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian Woody that enables password synchronisation with Windows 2000 clients in a domain? I currently have this in smb.conf but it doesn't work: unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n I get the Windows message

I really think this is a Windows problem, but since my very good friend Bill refuses to return my calls ... The client is WinXP Professional The server is RedHat 7.1 with SAMBA 2.2.2-8 I have rtfm several times both the ENCRYPTION and PDC-Howto, and I think I have implemented all of the requisite registry and passwd/smbpasswd/smb.conf settings. The client will happily JOIN the domain, but my

Hi all, I'am trying to set up my Samba server to use DOMAIN auth. I followed the instructions in the "security = domain in Samba 2.x" and had good results. Used this command to join the domain "smbpasswd -j DOM -r DOMPDC -UAdministrator%password" and I got the result "smbpasswd: Joined domain DOM." I added the entries into the configuration file to complete
