similar to: samba in a High Availability Configuration

Hello fellow samba users, Our company uses samba for all fileshares/printing/PDC on two SUN E3500's. We like to replace these with about 10 Linux 19" XEON (pizza)boxes. The question: Are there any implementation out there using a loadbalancing cluster doing samba? A simple diagram of the setup I have in mind: Users (+/- 500) ||| Headnode(Director 1) - Headnode (Director 2) | Worknode -

Hello, I am in the process of trying to get a large network (300+ systems) spanning 3 subnets to be able to display all windows machines in the Network Neighborhood. After reading through copious amounts of documentation, using Samba as a domain controller and then having systems on each subnet seemed to be the best approach. I set one of the machines to be the domain controller for what was my

Hello, I have a question that I was wondering if someone could help me with. I am an admin at RIT and we have a large network base of Sun machines. We do authentication via NIS over NFS. We are about to receive a full lab of Windows boxes and need to set up a samba server to serve users' home directories to the Windows boxes. This initial configuration is relatively easy, but we want

Hello, I have a rather experimental question to ask. I know that under standard circumstances, that you cannot have multiple PDC for a single domain, as they will conflict with each other. I am dealing with a case of a school district, where there are multiple buildings.There are T-1s that tie together each of the buildings, then a bonded T-1 grants access to the internet through the main admin

I'm wondering if it's possible to get samba to auth against LDAP without saving multiple hashes in the directory? I'd like to keep it to the hash that we use to auth unix-systems today, without cluttering the directory with other hashes that need to be synchronized etc. -- Odd Rune

newbie question, but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I would like to set up a primary samba file server and a backup samba file server. if the primary file server fails i would like the backup server to take over as the main file server as automaticly as possible. was looking at rsync to backup primary server share files to the backup server, i think that might be part of the answer

Hi, I have some strange problems with 3.0a21 PDC (samba and nss use both ldap) and I can't find any good help with google... One strange thing is that logon script does'nt work anymore, it worked at one point and now doesnt (I quite play around here and I dont know in which point of changing smb.conf it stopped to work). [netlogon] share is like that: [netlogon] comment = Network

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup

Hi, during I make a some du command (du -sh), samba has been disturb and sent a panic action : Last line of smbd.log : [2008/07/30 15:36:09, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(709) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (16 - 15) in safe_strcpy [10.217.7.3/255.255.252.0] [2008/07/30 16:04:43, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(709) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (16 - 15) in safe_strcpy

Dear All, I have a pair of .cpp and .def file can be compiled using VC++ and works perfectly well in S-PLUS. I wanted to do the same for R; so I followed the guidline given in "Building from a source-code library under Windows" as much as possible and manage to compile them using VC++ and call it from R. But it gives different answer from the one called from S-Plus. I know that I did

Hi all, We are considering moving our VSS database from a Win2K server to a samba server. All clients are Win2K clients. I used the VSS tool "testlock.exe" to make sure the native lock mode can be used. The test was successful, and I saw that an SMBlock transaction was performed, and a reply_lockingX was replied. When I opened a VSS database on the samba server and started to use it -

I have been asking at technet about if I could snapshot an exchange db volume[1]. But it looks like that windows server backup is sort of doing the same. Creating vs image, and backup that one. However they truncated the exchange db log files after a succesful procedure. I was wondering if someone is doing this already. How does the guest freeze work exactly in windows (In linux it is quite

backuppc does support pre- and post- backup scripts, so it is possible to implement backing up from vss.

Something very scary just happened to me while I was creating a ksh script to rsync mulitple FS between two hosts. Here is the script, notice the 'i' at the end of rsync line, it got put there by mistake. You also see the contents of $FSLIST cat'd below the script. When I ran this, it started to delete files in root's home directory and place files from the fist FS,

Hello, I am using wine on RH9. I am running Visual Source Safe like thus wine --ssexp.exe THe VSS GUI starts OK. the Visual Source Safe database is on Windows Partition.

Is anyone out there running Microsoft's Visual Source Save with a samba share? We are doing so here and are encountering difficulties. The "working directory" is a samba share. It seems that VSS is not manipulating file permissions appropriately when items are checked in and out. User always has write access to the item. Is anyone using MS VSS successfully with samba and care to

We have recently moved our VSS database from windows 2k to samba, initially all looked fine but have come accross a problem. Quite often VSS complains saying it can't write to "names - acess denied". The file its refering to is names.dat in data/ (for those that know VSS) I believe this to be some sort of locking issue. Sometimes getting all other clients to quite VSS solves the

I am using a samba server for a large number of files. It is a MS VSS database which splits it's data into a-z directories and generally in each directory I have about 30,000 files. When trying to delete files from the VSS client, the file deletion process is very slow, taking around 15 seconds per file. What is strange is that the processor loading is only at %60 during this, the rest is in
