I can ping the virtual Linux servers NetBIOS name and access a share. Perhaps someone can examine the attached named.conf file for errors and/or omissions. My virtual Linux server (172.17.60.6) has been configured as a WINS server, and a PDC. I am not, however, certain how to configure it as a DNS server beyond what is in the attached named.conf file. Here are the results of pinging the

Hi! I'm trying to setup samba 2.2.4 on MandrakeLinux 8.2. The server should act as a file storage for about 25 Windows 2000 clients. Setting up a "basic" server which just serves the files is easy. However, I'd also like to support NT ACLs on the Samba server. Well, what do I have to do, to get it to work? I'm using the Mandrake RPM for 2.2.4, which has ACL support

Hello everyone I hope this is the right place to post this question. I have all but eliminated all Microsoft servers in my current work environment, expect two boxes, which are our PDC and BDC, they also are the DNS, Dial in With Rocket Port Card, DHCP, Winslookup servers. I would like to remove these NT boxes and replace them with a nice shiny new Linux box running Samba. Reading some of

Hi I'm a happy user of samba since years I just d/l 2.2.6, configured it (w/ winbind), compiled and installed it It's working thought, i need to control access to some resources relatively to user's appartenance to some nt groups, and i intended to do this with "read list"/"write list" or "valid users". my problem is that some group names contain blanks

FYI, I'm setting up a file server for 1000 users based on mdk 8.0, self-compiled 2.4.19 + acl patches, self compiled samba 2.2.6, 100 Mbps NIC this server is right now in a pre-prod status and is currently used only by very few users while loading several +100 MB files on a share from a NT 4 wks 100 Mbps, we got several "session cancelled" messages, and un-killable D-state smbd

I am trying to run Samba 2.2.4 on solaris 2.8 with W2K clients. I have an NT app installed onto the Solaris 8 server which i would like to run off of the mapped samba network drive. When i try to start the NT app it attempts to read a file on the samba drive called .root.passwords but fails (This file can be accessed with notepad). The following is an extract from the samba error log. I get the

Hello I'm trying to set up a samba server on linux that will have ACL capability and QUOTA control. I'm working on a customized 2.4.18 kernel patched for EAs and ACLs, and quotas I've also customized a 2.2.3a samba with acls, winbind, quotas... it's working fine from a pure unix point of vue, acl allow fine grained access control, quotas limit use of space, and so on with samba

hello I know smbpasswd allows a user to change its password on an NT PDC, but is there a way to manage domain accounts from linux/samba ? I have 1000's of accounts to create (all based on a very few different models) and the script has to run on a samba/linux server tia - * - * - * - * - * - * - Bien s?r que je suis perfectionniste !

Hi I have a file server (linux with acl and quotas custom 2.4.18 kernel, samba 2.2.7a with acl, quotas and winbind) among others there's a share on which any user of the domain is allowed to put files, any user able to read and write other users' files (a public and free space) the problem is that sometimes people copy files from CDs where the readonly bit is set, and once copied, nobody

hello we got a serious problem with samba 223 and winbind i didn't find alot about on the net so I thought it could be interesting to tell you we have a file server w/ mandrake 8.0, a custom kernel 2.4.18 with quotas, acls, and a custom samba 2.2.3 with quotas, acl, and winbind. samba forwards auth to an NT PDC. FS rights are given on domain user names. there are quite a lot users, ca 2000.

Hello I just moved a win nt file server to linux/samba I've performance problem with the new server thought it's a more powerful machine (and os ;-) ): programs loaded from shares take (much) longer to start A network trace shows up that the throughput needed to achieve the program run (double clic to start then exit) from the linux server is more than 3 times the one needed to run from

I have 2 servers I'm keeping synch'ed via rsync intel rh9 boxes with 2.4.20 kernel with xfs (1.3.0), acl, quota... and ootb rsync 2.5.5 rpm it works fine since a while recently I created a directory with restricted access, and I get "permission denied" error messages. this directory named RESTRICTED belongs to user "user1" group "group1" and has drwxrwx---

Hi I plan to set up a big file server, something like motherboard with 4 ide ports and an additional 4 ide daughter card, a PIV proc and 512 or 1024 MB ram, a 100 or 1000 MB NIC, with 6 or 7 200 GB ide HDDs in a sigle box. I don't need lightning performance, just disk space. Of course this would be served by some linux os and samba questions (relative to samba configuration and behaviour) :

linux 2.2.19/rh6x I use in a share veto files = /.*/ whenever you connect to it the client process hangs, the smbd starts consuming cpu time and cannot be killed but with "kill -9".

All: I am trying to install a program from a file on the hard drive. After running winecheck (which did help me catch some config problems), here is what happens (stock RH80 setup, which includes wine-20020605; note that I also tried this with the latest cvs, and got the same error): 1. I run the setup file from my virtual c:\ directory. 2. After flashing a bunch of text in the terminal window

Installed Samba 3.0RC4 on a RH80 box. Need [homes] section to point to a subdirectory of the users home directory. The aforementioned subdirectory exists in EVERY users home directory. Defining a path for EACH user is impractical. How does one accomplish this? Thanks in advance. Raymond
