(I don't have other Windows system versions to test it there, but from Linux}smbspool command) it works fine - job name is "Remote Downlevel Document + job name"). Is there any possibility how to force (or get) print job name from Windows

using samba and ldap - redhat 7.3 trying to work on a short cgi to update samba password (it is a url with attributes username and password). I am not very good at all with perl, so if someone can take a quick ponder and help me out, that would be great. I think that it fails in theory however, because to change other users password, you need to be root ... So I was wondering if anyone knows

Hi listers. People here are trying to push me into moving the Outlook .psts on a samba share for back-up reasons. I'd like to hear your experience about this: is it feasible in the size of 20 users with 400...800MB each .pst? Any special settings on samba side? Something special that I should pay attention to? Or is just "NO"?

Hi, I've got a printing server running Samba 3.0alpha21 (on Linux). The client machines running Windows 2000 are producing PDF files by printing to a "virtual" printer on the Samba machine.

Hello Everyone, I have a slight issue with configuring a PDF printer on my Samba servers. I have input the following into my smb.conf file and it does create the printer as well as work to create PDF files, except that it only functions when "printing" to that printer via Excel 2002. If I attempt it with anything else, even the Windows Test print, it fails. Now, in the Windows

Is there a tool, either for Perl or C, that will add/change the NT and LM encrypted passwords in the smbpasswd file? I know about the smbpasswd command, but I can't use that function from a script.

The password encryption works because I can modify the password connected to a DC samba4, but the problem is when I try the same with the Windows DC. I'm using a LDAP java library. My question is: what is the samba-tool authentication method that you can reset password connected to a Windows DC using "samba-tool user setpassword Admin --newpassword=PASSWORD -H ldap://10.0.0.3 -U

Dear all, we are transitioning from an openldap / MIT KDC setup to a samba4 AD. I am doing this by setting up a samba NT4 domain, populating it from LDAP and sticking in the password hashes which I automatically extract from the MIT KDC arc4-hmac keys. Then I run the classicupgrade. I do this whole thing from cron in a script once a day to be able to slowly migrate services. The MIT / openldap
