Hola folks, How do I configure a share under Samba 2.2 using DOMAIN security to allow all members of a specified NT domain group access to a particular share? For example, something like: [test] comment = Test Share path = /mnt/share/test nt group = Nice-users, Wonderful Users Where Nice-users and Wonderful Users are NT domain groups? So if User X is a member of Nice-users, she would be

After parsing through the various bits of available documentation, I'm forced to bow before the group and ask the following Silly User Question: While I can create and set NT ACLs on files/folder, anything in the root of the share can be deleted by any user who has access to that share. I've munged something in my file permissions. What /should/ the file permissions for a root share

Usually I am one of the first ones to do it I have resisted this time... It is almost the Holidays and out centos 4 boxes have been online for like 2 years or whatever Has anyone boldly taken the plunge on any high use and/or Internet facing Centos$ servers and done a yum update or a yum -y update without any problems at all? :-) - rh

I'm just curious: It seems that more and more people are using 3.0 (or 3.0a20). Obviously on this list we normally hear the worst (ie xxx doesn't work, why?). What I would like to know about are 3.0 success stories. Stability? Platform? Compiler? Gotcha's encountered? Here is what I am considering: a Mandrake 9.0 box with it's default gcc 3.2, I am still using a windows 2K

Hi All, I have been trying out XFS given it is going to be the file system of choice from upstream in el7. Starting with an Adaptec ASR71605 populated with sixteen 4TB WD enterprise hard drives. The version of OS is 6.4 x86_64 and has 64G of RAM. This next part was not well researched as I had a colleague bothering me late on Xmas Eve that he needed 14 TB immediately to move data to from an

Hi all, I searched thru excellent http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&r=1&w=2 (samba ML archive...) answer to my questions. I asked Google too. Both doesnt know about my problem. That's why I finaly decided to polute samba ML :-( Here's the environment: a Linux Box under Debian Woody (stable, nothing compiled by hand EXCEPT KERNEL (aacraid issue..)): master:~# uname -a

With a single server, settings "security = server" and "password server = pdc1 pdc2', I can successfully authenticate against two entirely different PDCs depending on which order I put the two machines in the 'password server' list. Is there someway of forcing clients from either domain to authenticate against the 'right' pdc, regardless of the order in the

Hello, I'm wondering just how critical it really is to turn off oplocks. It appears that not only Windows 2k server, but also Netware 5 and above defaults to having these enabled. I just spoke with two software companies running databases off of file servers (no database server, just MDAC stuff), and they had never heard of it, much less require it to be disabled. Everything I've

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work. The PDC and the BDC will have his own LDAP data base. I just install the PDC without problems and my next step is to install the BDC. I configured the LDAP that work in multi master mode. I made some test and the LDAP works

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba

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 all, I have a bug with Version 2.2.3a-12 for Debian GNU/Linux (custom 2.4.20 kernel with aacraid support (DELL PowerEdge 1650 with RAID mirror, etc)): Some users have, SOMETIMES, a READ ONLY set on files, where no one except them use this files. I'm in oplocks=false because of MS-Excel 97 issues, and, no need of fast performances at the moment (<10 users). I put a /home/public

Hi, Is it true that Samba 2.2.x PDC does not support trust relationships to other Windoze NT PDCs? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi, This may be a dumb question (I'm new with this), but is it possible to use SAMBA in combination with LDAP in a Workgroup? All the manuals and examples I can find, are talking about Domains and PDCs. I have to set up a new Samba server and checkout LDAP but I'm not allowed to change the Workgroup settings... Now we use smbpasswd... Is LDAP worth the effort and time? Kind

Like many, I administer multiple LANs connected together using NT trust relationships. This was implemented about 4 years ago. I now have the occasion to consider performing this same task again, but this time, I would like to implement it solely through samba - no Microsoft PDCs anywhere. I have read documentation on samba.org regarding NT-style trust relationships and am now wondering, can I

People, I have one PDC and a BDC on the matrix side and two BDCs on the branch office. I don't know if it is a problem. Anybody could help me?

Hi, Here is my scenario:- 1. I got 1 LDAP server with two domains (A & B) configured to it. 2. Both domain PDCs are fully trusted to one another. I did the "trustdom establish" both ways. 3. I have 1 XP client that has joined Dom A. The login bar can allow you to login to 2 domains. 4. I can managed to login to both domains. 5. I got all the sambaHomePath and home drive
