I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

I have just compiled Samba 2.2.4 with the following configure. ./configure --with-pam --with-winbind I used the same instructions as I did go get Samba 2.2.2 working. I noticed the winbind daemon dies after about a minute. I set the debug to 10 for it and I found some confusing things. Why is it trying to connect to GIGDC1 with a null username? Is this why the connection is refused?

Hello, Many of our NT domain groups have names that contain embedded spaces, like "Domain Admins". When I attempt to use winbind and assign rights via those groups the granting fails. Group names without embedded spaces, like "Domain_Admins" work fine. In smb.conf I've tested specifying the name as: "DOMAIN+Domain Admin" DOMAIN+Domain\ Admin and

I'm converting my NT 4.0 Print Servers to Samba Print Servers. Which printing system should I be using? LPR, LPRng or CUPS. I would love to have some feedback on the advantages and disadvantages or what the Samba Team recommends as a standard for working wih Samba. In case you need it, my system is SuSE 7 kernel 2.2.16 running under VM on s/390. Thanks, Josh Konkol, CNE MCSE Senior

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

It has been my experience that only the owner of the file and root change change ACLS on that file. Since you've stated that Administrator IS the owner, maybe there's something else. Are you getting any errors ? Who is the owner of the diretory that the folder resides in. Is the Administrator given write permissions at the share level? My work-around for modifying ACL's was to

I recently downloaded the samba 2.2.5 update. I ran GZIP and tar. next i did the configuration according to Using Samba by Robert Eckstein, David Collier-Brown, Peter Kelly 1st edition Nov. 1999. Steps were as follows: ./configure make make install added swat to /etc/services swat 901/tcp after all of this it does not appear that samba was actually updated. I looked in samba.org for

I am running Samba with Winbind to authenticate against an NT 4.0 domain. Everything appears to be working fine. Problem is when I do response time comparison between file services on NT vs Samba, NT is twice as fast. The testing was a simple program that created 200 directories then deleted them, copied a 145 meg file then deleted it and then copied 779 files and then deleted them. Timestamps

Eric, I started as you instructed and when I get to this command, ./bin/update-packageinfo 2.2.6pre 20020730 I receive the error: no such file or directory next I changed to the RedHat dir. and executed sh makerpms.sh...this appeared to work fine. i could not execute rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.6pre-20020730.i386.rpm what I did execute is: rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.5-1i386.rpm and received the

does anyone know how to hide a samba server in SMB terms? on an NT machine the command "net config server /hidden:yes" will make the machine vanish from the network neighbourhood but i cant figure out how to do this for a samba server many thanks sincerely, bob reven

I'm running Samba 3.0.11. Compiled with: ./configure '--with-ads' '--with-pam' '--with-winbind' '--with-smbmount' '--with-shared-modules=idmap_rid' It configured, make and make installed fine. I configured the idmap_rid using the following directives in the smb.conf. ; IDMap Stuff idmap backend = idmap_rid:<DOMAINNAME>=500-100000000

I'm trying to get Samba to compile on SLES8 SP3 (Linux under z/VM) and I'm getting the following error.

Hello all, after FOMS I decided to take a look at the opus library and I found that I could improve a bit the build system and cleanup the code a little bit. Most of the changes to the code has been suggested by my two tools cowstats and missingstatic (part of the ruby-elf gem if you care). HTH, Diego

I had that happen to me on w2k. Your spooler service is stopped. I had an invalid print driver entry in Samba and when I printed to any of the printers on my Samba server it would cause the service to stop. To fix it I replaced the printer tdb's and re-installed the drivers. Josh -----Original Message----- From: Klopf, Tom [mailto:Tom.Klopf@mms.gov] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002

One work-around would be to create a hidden share that only Domain Admins can access. The use "force user=root" on that share. Then you'll be able to change ACL's and not be root.

Hi, I've a problem in running configure for samba 2.2.5. I'm using redhat 7.3, with ACL support from http://acl.bestbits.at/. I've tested that the ACL is working on the filesystem, and samba can find it too. Here's the error: checking if large file support can be enabled... yes checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... yes checking for ACL

Hello, I am using unencrypted passwords with and have updated my Win2k registry for plain text passwords. Before I rebooted I was able to logon to our windows domain and then access Samba shares with the same username and password. Now, after I have rebooted I am presented with a logon screen but my username and password are not accepted. Any ideas? Seth -------------- next part

I thought I had read a response to this. Went something like this: Word (and lots of others such apps) do not actually deal with the original file. They create a temporary file which overwrites the original when you save the new document. The 'new' file of course inherits the new editor's ownership. Hope this helps you.
