Follow up to my question for those also looking for backup solutions: Thanks for the input, it was helpful and gave me some leads. For What it's worth: I've been testing Novastor's Novanet 8.5. Pretty impressive. It has a nice GUI interface or a command line menu system, backups performed well, recognized my library without any extra effort on my part. Pricing isn't too bad

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

Update: Just for my personal assurance, I decided to recompile samba again making sure to use the parameters I thought I had used the first time (./configure --with-winbind --with-acl-support --with-ads --with-smbmount). Without changing any of my configs, I restarted samba and winbind. One trick: to change rights on a file, you must own it or be root. This is where the "force user =

I am experimenting with MAC OS 9 using samba as a file server. I am using Thursby's DAVE to connect. For those who don't know, DAVE is a client utility that allows an OS 8 or 9 system to connect to windows file shares. The MAC can connect to both servers with no problems. However, when copying a file to the samba 3 server, I get the following error: The item <file name> could

Just wanted to thank those who have helped me (knowingly (such as Andrew Bartlett) and others unknowingly) get Samba set up to work with MS Active Directory and with ACL support working. As is typical in lists like these, there are way more requests than thanks. Being in the IT industry, I know personally the never-ending deluge of help requests and the seemingly very short list of thank

If you are not using a domain and have added the users directly with the smbpasswd utility, you can just cat the smbpasswd file. Typically, it's found in /usr/local/samba/private directory. If it's long, you might want to use more (or less). Rick Segeberg Provo Site Manager, IT Department The Waterford Institute rick.segeberg@waterford.org -----Original Message----- From:

I've been trying to get the acl functionality (from windows) to work now for several days and have not found a solution. I've spent many hours Googling the web, and searching the samba list archives. If someone else has this working (in the 3.0 alpha code), I would appreciate seeing your config files, if you wouldn't mind. Goal: to be able to add user/group permissions to files

I appreciate your response and I tried your solution. However, it does not seem to help. I am using MS Active Directory on a Windows 2000 server for the authentication and rights for the users. I realize AD is based on LDAP, but it's been changed to suit Microsoft's needs - meaning it's not "pure ldap". Based on what you said, I made sure to create a user and a few groups

Sorry - I should have addressed this to Paul Eggleston who started this thread. Regardless who started it (the Samba + ACL howto), my offer still stands if I can be of any help. I'd be happy to help with this documentation, input, proof reading, whatever. There's definately a big lack here and the Samba team already has their hands full.

Intro: There have been a few postings on this subject with few answers. If anyone knows where to point those of us trying to work this out, or will enlighten us as to the limitations of ACL's and Samba, we would appreciate your help. So far, acl.bestbits.at does not have any information on this particular problem. Environment: Samba 3.0 alpha 21 or 23 (I skipped 22, but most likely it had

The latest version of NovaNET (http://www.novastor.com/) claims in the release notes to support ACLs. I haven't put

Our tape backup software (run through windows) backs up items based on whether the archive attribute is set or not. If it is set, then it needs to be backed up. Then it removes the attribute. When a user modifies a file, the attribute is again set. This is how it normally works. Samba will not allow the Archive Attribute to be unchecked. Is there anyway to allow this functionality. Samba

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

List, This e-mail simply links all the various topics as one...I started this thread. Q1- Samba being the PDC thingy Q2- "time server" option in smb.conf file Q3- 'net time' command on Windows clients. A1- Samba doesn't have to be PDC A2- Samba doesn't need "time server = yes" in smb.conf A3- Windows clients were not designed to keep proper time so it's a

Andrew, Thanks for your response. This reply is actually not a request for additional help. After much searching throught the lists and Google along with a lot of experimentation, I think I've got it (mostly) figure out. This post is just an effort to help others who might be struggling with the same issues as I was. I'm sure it's far from perfect and if anyone has suggestions on

Hello, Really stumped on this issue. I have samba 4.4.7 running on a new server. Users cannot write to files to which they have write permissions via group. Example: Here's the local filesystem on the samba server. I'm logged in as jmalone : jmalone at canis; cd /home/www.nrao.edu/content/logs/ : jmalone at canis; ls -l total 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 jmalone nraoweb 0 Nov 10 10:02

All, Apologies for basically bumping my own thread, but I'm absolutely at my wits' end trying to figure out this access problem. I've replicated the issue with and without NFS being involved. On our old 4.0.25 server, users can write to files that they have group-based write permissions. On 4.5.x, 4.4.x, and 4.3.x that permission is not being honored. I would be incredibly
