I'm trying to get Samba on AIX 5.1 to work in appliance-like mode. I would like NT domain users to get automatically and persistently mapped to AIX/Unix users. This stuff seemed to work fine without much effort on Solaris 9, but AIX is a different story, and I'm new to AIX as well. AIX 5.1 doesn't use nss so winbind, in its current form, can't work. I saw a post from January

If you can see the server, but not shares, you most likely have not published any directories. What version of the BE agent are you using? I've noticed 4.6 works well (the install actually works well and will walk you through the setup to publish the directories to be backed up). It's often easier to just publish root (but exclude /proc /tmp). Also, I've found out that in the hosts

I have upgraded recently from alpha22 to rc1. While trying to access printer properties from XP, i'm getting error "Runtime Error! program: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe abnormal program termintation". Printing is not possible as well. This error is reproducable from any WinXP computer on network on any shared by samba printer. Printers are HPLJ2100, drivers are latest PCL6 downloaded

Hello! I've got into problems with simultaneous access to files on samba server. Two (or more) people from different computers may open the same file and may independently change it (with openoffice, for example). Certainly, this is not the expected behavior. If the file is shared on windows machine, when the first user opens it, he gots RW permission, while the next one(s) may open this

Hello, I've been using samba-3alpha22 as a PDC authenticating against LDAP. I am trying to add NT Groups using the smbgroupedit utility. It seems to me that smbgroupedit always looks in /etc/group and does not take into account the ldap configuration options specified in smb.conf. The relevant ldap entries are: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ebola/ ldap suffix="dc=datasoft,

I am having trouble upgrading my installation of Samba. My setup is: - Debian Woody x86 - Samba 3.0.0rc2 (upgrading from alpha22) - Samba acting as a PDC - Samba accounts and Posix accounts in an LDAP directory (OpenLDAP from Debian) I have successfully compiled and installed the new version. I have extracted all users from the LDAP tree and converted them to the new schema using the perl

Hi! I've been trying to find a solution to a printer problem. All I found is a message posted to this list about a year ago, which describes about the same problem (the message is in the end of this mail). So, each time I try to print from windows 2000 or XP I get this error message: Microsoft Visuall C++ Runtime Llibrary Program: C:...Winword.exe Abnormal program termination I have three

Hi, All, I upgraded my samba to 2.2.4 recently. There is one question about trusted domain. If I set 'winbind use default domain' to yes, supposed the domain name is D1, a trusted domain D2, when I run wbinfo -u, what I should I get? I remembered I will get users like D1\UserOnD1 ..... D2\UserOnD2 ... in previous version. Thanks in advance, Juer

Using samba-2.999+3.0.alpha21 (debian unstable source package), I can't get the python modules to compile correctly. The problem seems to be that py_common.c and py_smb.c declare global_myname as an extern pstring, while it is defined in include/proto.h as const char *global_myname(void). Changing the definition in the two files allows it to compile, but "from samba import smb" then

I have been trying to get an XP machine to logon to a samba (2.2.4-3) installation for the past week. I am using local logons for the samba server and having it prompt me for a username and password (silly I know) when I access the samba box. I just kept getting a logon dialog box back with the "domain\username and the password" back. I searched for a solution and found the registry

RedHat AS 2.1 kernel 2.4.9-e.16 with kbr5-1.2.7 I've been playing with ADS features of samba-3.0alpha21 and am having problems getting winbind to work. I can join the domain: [root@asecl etc]# net ads join Joined 'ASECL' to realm 'ASE-LRC-AD.AE.UTEXAS.EDU' After joining the domain, I can use the other 'net ads' options of user, group, status and info.

I just sent this . but realized i sent it from the wrong email addy . want to make sure it gets thru to the list . so i'm resending . i apologize if both copies make it thru.

also, how does inter-domain trust work in a mixed-mode domain? if my samba machine is joined to an AD domain and wants to look at the groups of an NT domain to which there is bi- directional trust between it and the AD domain how does that work. in windows even? I know that AD uses machine passwords but does NT as well? is the NT domain supposed to authenticate the machine against the AD domain

Recently i've moved to samba 3.0 beta1 and noticed, that drivers for shared printers couldn't be uploaded from WindowsXP GUI any more. After copying files to \\smbserver\print$\W32X86 folders it says something like "Unable to install HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6, Windows2000 or XP, Intel driver. Operation could not be completed". It works OK on samba3.0alpha20, but doesn't work

When I try to logon to my windows XP box I get the following error message from windows: Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Windows did not load your profile because a server copy of the profile folder already exists that does not have the correct security.
