Try something like mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=password,workgroup=domain //windows_server/folder /local_folder you may also want to add ,ip=<Windows_server_IP> if it can't resolve the name Thanks Steve Simeonidis Network Engineer, Spherion Education Spherion Group Ltd "Making the Workplace Work Better" 1st Floor, 493 St. Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004,

Hi everyone, samba 2.2.5 The server I'm using has 2 interfaces so using the interface parameter I'm telling samba to use eth0 but for some reason when I do netstat it is listening on eth1 interface = eth0 (the IP is 192.168.6.10) netstat -an udp 0 0 138.79.161.225:137 0.0.0.0:* udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:137 0.0.0.0:* udp 0 0 138.79.161.225:138

I setup SAMBA to use winbind to authenticate of a WinNT PDC In the smb.conf I have a line template homedir = /home/winnt/%U which is file I also use the pam module to create directories for new users pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/sambaskel umask=0077 which is fine again. My problem is that I can't tell or how do I tell pam_mkhomedir to create the directories in /home/winnt/<user>

Hi! My boss asked me to be able to share some directories on a FreeBSD Samba server with users already created (and used) on a NT 4.0 PDC server. So I followed http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=10 I just replaced the Windows 2k part by adding the NetBIOS name of the machine to the NT PDC. When I did the smbpasswd trick it worked like charm: testsmb# smbpasswd -j CH-DOMAIN -r PDC

samba 2.2.5 We use an NT PDC for password authentication and an NT WINS server. Both of those systems are on a different subnet. I have setup remote announce = <PDC subnet broadcast< and remote browse sync = <WINS server IP> Do I have to setup the SAMBA server as a master browser? I don't want to mess things up with the WINS servers. Thanks Steve Simeonidis Network

Hi, You can use the command net rpc shutdown -S <machine name> to remotly shutdown a PC. Is it possible to, or could it possibly be a future upgrade to have a comma separated list of machines so that you can shutdown several machines at one time. Ie at the end of the day to shutdown PC's in a particular classroom? What are your thoughts?? Cheers ----------------- Kristyan

Hi. I'm not subscribed to the list, so if you can help, please e-mail me or CC me in the response. I've been using Samba for quite a while, and just set up a 2.2.2 server with winbind support. Console logins and SMB access work fine, wbinfo -t reports "Secret is good", and wbinfo -r domain+ntuser shows the right group number. In fact, the UID/GIDs are translated properly when

I am having difficulty with Windows shares mounted with smb on my linux machine. The mount directory will not have write permissions for anyone, no matter what. The mount directory that I use is /home/samba. It has 0700, or drwx------ permissions when it is not connected to Samba. It is owned by the user jhall, and the group root. When I mount it, if I use dmask 0777, I get dr-xr-xr-x. If I use

Is there a way in UNIX to make a folder with read+write permissions for some group of users, but only allow them to read and write to the folder... not actually delete the folder itself? I have some samba shares, and directories inside them that I want to remain with their current structure and permission settings -- with many similiar group-specific files inside each folder, but I don't want

Hi, I all of a sudden require to log who has been login onto our domain, and from which machine. Looking through the logs I do have, I don't seem to have this information for more than a day, even in the log.<machinename>.old file. How can I change this ASAP? RD7.3, Samba 2.2.8a :) Max

I'm setting up a samba primary domain controller in Debian woody and the users are logging into the domain fine and can access their shares. I would like to restrict the listings of available shares to only authenticated users of the samba domain. I know this works in a win NT4 domain, how does one do it with samba? This is the listing I get from an nt4 pdc (belongs to a different domain than

Error when you try to change your password from Windows XP, SP1, latest patches (ctrl-Alt-Del) Server configuration Fedora Core 1 samba-3.0.7-2FC1 Samba is configured as PDC with roaming profiles.

Lucene, and perhaps most search engines, are biased towards small fields with little content (where thus the term frequency is higher). Lucene has the option to define a custom (Similarity) class to calculate the similarity between two fields (custom calculation of lengthNorm and tf) in different documents. But how do I do this in ferret? (I know to boost a field, but this is not what I

Hi List - I have a friend that runs a Windows domain with Active Directory and is setting up some new laptops with Redhat. He wants to automate installs, etc. on these laptops as he would on a Windows machine. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this - and also if anyone knows of a good tutorial for joining a Linux machine to a Windows domain. I've heard that it is possible.
