My RedHat 8.0 workstation doesn't want to play nice with Winbind. The rest of our Samba servers (on RedHat 7.3) are working fine, and I am familiar with setting up Winbind. Samba: 2.2.7a (RPM from Samba.org. RedHat's RPMs do same thing.) Kernel 2.4.20 NT 4 domain I'd copied the pam and smb.conf from a working box in testing. Getent passwd and group works, BUT getent group

Does anybody know more about groups? I am considering switching from NT to Samba domain and have made some test. Unfortunately I need to make two additional groups, except Domain Admin (one of them is Domain Users). Is it possible to make that with the stable version of Samba? And another, but not so important (for now) question. Currently I have a Samba server, providing files and printers

Hello, I'm installing 2.2.7a, or attempting to at any rate. I've compiled it from source using the following instructions: http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html Anyways, I've got it set up so that it works. Now I'm trying to get to a point where I can interface it like I have with a different Linux box that is working without any problems. When I did the

I've been reading this list for a few weeks now and I've given advice on questions that look challenging but I've deleted MANY questions like these: "How do I (easy question found in the documents)?" Though I don't count myself an expert, I've known enough experts to see that they _HATE_ it when you don't invest some time before asking a question. I too have

I have a Samba PDC installed to authorize my windows network clients. And it is running on Solaris. I want to install a one another Samba file server and I want it to authorize windows clients by consulting the PDC. This second server must also paricipate in the domain the PDC is responsible for. How can I do this? Thanks, Cyril.

After testing my W2K3 SP1 terminal server against a SAMBA server *AND* a W2K server, I have noticed the following *odd* behavior. LOGIN: Map drive letters LOGOUT: Connections are still connected. on BOTH W2K and SAMBA file servers. LOGIN: Map drive letters LOGOUT: Now you have TWO sets of connections still connected for the one user. REPEAT: For each time you repeat the above procedure, you

I'm trying to set up a Samba server with ACLS. Versions: - xfs in kernel-2.4.20. - samba-2.2.7a compiled with ACL support I'm trying first with smbcacls. But I can't manage to guess the syntax of the ACL command. I want the user "frankie" could RWX a file owned by "javi" #smbcacls //localhost/public te1st.txt -A ACL:frankie:0/0/RWX -U javi Failed to parse ACL

Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction and/or help me solve my problem. We have a number of Linux servers (RH6.2 -> RH8) which connect to the same share on a Win2000 Server. We've been working kinda hard to get everything upgraded to either RH7.3 or RH8.0 since we rarely get the opportunity. 2 similar servers (one dev, one prod) access this same window

I have been playing with samba for a short time. I am not a programmer but a I have some questions on if acls within samba are possible, regardless of acl's in the file system or kernel. In samba now, you can have read list or write list and say this user and/or group has write and/or this user and/or group has read only. This is a scaled down version of an acl. What if they created a

Hi Openssh support, I have upgraded openssh from 5.3p1 to 6.2p2 in a RHEL 6.6 - 64 bit server and now i can't login to server remotely using same root password. It always prompting the password saying "Permission denied, please try again." Please help me to resolve the issue. Following are the steps i have followd.

Hi, I'm trying to setup samba server on FreeBSD-4.7-STABLE, with samba version 2.2.7a. It runs so good (better than our snap server :). I need to know if should be possible, that users can modify, save, and all other possible operations on files except delete it. My users config are, more or less: All users have their uid All users are in same gid Some project admins (they are on

Hello, all-- I've a question regarding using WINS for resolving names while on the unix box. As I understand it, you're supposed to add something to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, but it's not clear to me whether it's supposed to be 'wins', 'winbind', or 'winbindd' as in the following example: hosts: files wins nisplus nis dns hosts: files winbind

Before you read this, I want to state (for reasons listed below) that I don't expect an answer (advice is welcomed, but please read this email carefully before answering). I'm sharing this with the community with the hope that better software results from our sad experience... BACKGROUND I've been using NT for 4 years, Netware and Linux for 3 years, and Samba for almost 2. I work

Hello, as discussed here in more detail: https://reviews.llvm.org/D81583 the introduction of the C++20 [[no_unique_address]] attribute exposes an ABI issue on platforms that require special handling for structs/classes that are "equivalent" to a single floating-point member (or in some cases, a "homogeneous" set of floating-point members). This is because we can now for the

All, I have: sales <- c(2300,900,155,102,42,10) names(sales) <- c("Christmas","Valentine's Day", "Mother's Day","Father's Day", "Thanksgiving","New Year's Day") barplot(sales,ylim=c(0,2500)) But it doesn't place all of the name labels on the plot. So I tried: sales <-

Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

I figured I should post this because before I went to do it I searched the web for caveats etc and didn''t really find much. So anyway, I set up bonding + vlan for a project. Computer is dell powerdge 350 with 2 intel 82559 10/100 nic running stock 2.4.20. I tried both the eepro100 and the e100 drivers for the nics, both work 802.1q and bonding are modules. Switch is cisco 2924xl-en

Hi, I have 2 linux machines, SOURCE and DEST on a network. I create some snapshots of the file structure on SOURCE and these snapshots have extended attributes. I want to copy the snapshots from SOURCE over to DEST over the network, but I don't want to lose the information on the extended attributes. Is there a way to do this using the samba protocol? Or do I have to modify the source code to

I run an application on an HPUX 11.0 system that creates report files daily and I am wanting to have those files placed on a W2K server instead of the local drive during creation. Can I do this w/ Samba? Thanks for your time.

Ok, I've gone through the list archives, and there's a bunch of questions, but no answers. I'm referring to the Error: Network is busy when logging in from both Win95 (a and b versions) and Win98. It seems to never give this message unless the Windoze machine has been rebooted forcefully - it seems as if the samba server hasn't realized that the client has left, and is locking
