similar to: Samba using Virtual Servers (load balancing)

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'm sorry to post High availability oriented questions to this list, but I was wondering about some samba configuration parameters and what options are available. I am using heartbeat, and to make a long story short, i have a floating IP alias between 2 servers. (192.168.1.1 for example). When one server is serving the data, it 'has' this ip. if the server fails over, the

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

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

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

Best Samba-list, This message is about a reproducable problem regarding Samba printing using cups. Expected results: Print shares should match the CUPS defined configuration. Results : 1st Print shares get mixed up: "the sharename becomes the Comment" 2nd Print shares are missing We pin-pointed one possible source of the problem down to the

Hi I thought this was something that might concern the developers so I thought I'd post here. Apologies in advance if that's not the case. I'm setting up a CentOS cluster with OpenSSH_4.3p2 which uses ssh to launch processes on the remote nodes. I'm trying to use the SendEnv/AcceptEnv functionality to send the PATH environment variable from the headnode when users are launching

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

Hello Samba Team, happy new year for all Samba Warriors .... all best wish for new year.

Hi, I''m trying to enable ssh (when that works, want to add:pop3s,smtp,web) from the internet to the firewall but it does not work. I managed to DNAT ftp to a host in the loc network (192.168.0.50) successful but I don''t know why SSH: Does not work for me: ACCEPT net fw tcp 22 Works from the loc network: ACCEPT loc fw tcp 22 I have tried also with (no success): AllowSSH

Hi, I have been trying to join a Samba Domain member server to the AD and use LDAP for IDMAP storage. I have run into many strange issues and I was hoping someone can please take time to clarify things for me. I have read quite a bit (I own both the Samba books by Terpstra) and done a lot of Google searching. I think part of my problem is the unusual setup I have, as all the examples in the

Hello, I''m thinking about a setup that looks like this: - 2 headnodes with FC connectivity (OpenSolaris) - 2 backend FC srtorages (Disk Shelves with RAID Controllers presenting a huge 15 TB RAID5) - 2 datacenters (distance 1 km with dark fibre) - one headnode and one storage in each data center (Sorry for this ascii art :) ( Data Center 1) <--1km--> (Data

is there a way to virtualize rocks5.2 on rocks5.4? I have been trying to and the gecko based install menu keeps failing. The error is a http 404 when looking for the release notes to display. any Idea of what causes that? I had that happen last time I tried to install rocks 5.2 on bare metal. The only notable thing about my network is that its on a 255.255.254.0 subnet mask. I can reserve its ip

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

Hello Guys, our cluster runs till 2014 on supermicro board. It is not unusual that still mainboards with mga graphics cards are delivered. So I have then adjusted the mga driver from centos 6 - the specification file - , to be build on CentOS 7. Since then this runs on the headnode without failures. Maybe you should provide this via epel. The source can be found here:

Hi all, I have two new Centos 5.2 servers ("drizzle" and "fog"), both ROCKS headnodes installed from the same rolls. Identical `uname -a' output (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5, x86_64 etc), identical yum versions (Version: 3.2.8 Release: 9.el5.centos.1) with identical yum.conf files and identical repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d. To simplify things I've disabled all repos

Hi everybody, I'm looking for information about using GlusterFS with ZFS. I got information that talked about a sort of incompatibility between the both technologies because of unsupported xattr feature in ZFS. What are the latest news about this ? Thank you in advance.
