John, thanks for that hint. It did not kill the server by you are perfectly right. I changed this and restarted the "smb" and "nmb" deamons - unfortunately with the same result. When I watch e.g. the status with "swat" I see as follows after trying with: smbclient -U <user> -L win2k1 (what is strange since I connect as different user and not

is smb over ssh still valid? i eagerly tried it as specified in the unofficial samba howto <http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html>, but no go. net view responds "System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found." ssh (putty, with port 139 forwarded to localhost:139) did successfully connect from a win2k machine accross the internet to my redhat 7.2

Hi Collective users of Samba, (does has a nice ring to it eh?) Recently I found a my samba server being infected by win32 viruses. Though it does not affect the server in any way, I do find them to be an annoyance. I understand also that I can perform "veto" of files like *.exe in smb.conf but find that to be a wee bit restrictive. There are some users who stores valid executables in

Hey ppl ! My WinXP workstations are not able to join my domain. I tried to apply the registry fix for plain-text passwords but it has no effects :( My PDC seems to work fine cause i've got no problems with Win2K Workstations... Is there anything i've omitted ?

I have a home network based on Win XP Pro, with one Linux machine running Red Hat 9. All updates have been applied. There's no domain controller. I can connect from the Linux machine to the XP machines via Konqueror using smb://mymachine/myshare However, I can't use the mount command. I'm trying to use syntax like mount -t smbfs -o username=myname,password=mypwd //192.168.0.1

Hi, I am trying to set up a SAMBA-PDC for our school's network and find a strange Problem with two Win2k workstations. When I try to join the SAMBA domain I receive an error which says the user account - I am using root - is unknown. I call this "strange" because other Win2k machines on the very same subnet work correctly - and what is even stranger: I can manually access all

I have been asked to set up a Linux Samba file server as well as set up user-level access control for a medium sized real estate agency. Currently, the office is a on a single workgroup and there is only one UID for all users. The owner wants to set up individual accounts and server spaces for each agent. Until I can convince him that converting everyone to Linux workstations, I have to support

I've got a situation where my webdesigners (win2k) are located on a different subnet (and location) than the samba server. I need a way of using a local (to the webdesigners) machine (linux) to use SSH and port forward to the remote samba server. How does one go about doing such a thing?

Hi, I have Samba 3.0.14a + OpenLDAP 2.2.24 installed on Solaris 8 as a PDC for serving files only (no profiles, no printing). Performance of network browsing is slow in Windows 2000 and XP, taking 10-15 seconds to open and display the contents of a folder. The same browsing activity from a Mac works fine with no unacceptable delays. I'm trying to sell Samba here, but these delays are

Hi list, I have installed Samba 2.2-8a on a linux box running RH 9 with LDAP backend as the account database. I have configured the system to function as PDC. When I try to join the domain from any Win2K machine, I get the following error: The following occured validating the name "mydomain". This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. The specified domain either doesn't

I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find the FAQ document for this list. I also could not find anything relevant in other Samba documentation sources like http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html. There seems to be plenty of information about using Samba *as* a DC, but I want to know if I can use Samba *with* a Windows 2000 DC. We have two DCs running Windows 2000, a W2K

I have a FreeBSD 4.10 box with samba 3.04 set up and a Windows XP pro sp1 client. Everything is fine, except every 15 minutes or so for no apparent reason the connection drops and I'm unable to access the server. Then after a few minutes the whole thing starts working again, and 15 minutes or so later, the connection drops again. The problem is pretty similar to

Samba newbie, apologies if these are well-worn questions. My googling hasn't found an answer yet.

Use the "smbpasswd -a username" to setup a new user password. But without your setup and how you did it and what is going on in the logs it is hard to answer this question, it is very broad. There are great and wonderful documents to learn all about SAMBA and how to set it up. (Thank you to everyone that created those works of art. 'sniff, sniff' Beautiful they are. Got me

Hey, I worked for days on this, and I want to share the solution I stubled across. I got this error message from my wife XP laptop: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found.

Hi folks :-) I'm just installing a fresh new samba server, and trying to authenticate some win xp machines.

Hi, I have one NT4 PDC that needs to be migrated to Samba-PDC. No Active Directory. Just users, groups, windows shares... the works. I'm seeing that Samba-3.x is "very PDC-oriented". I like that. But, so far, Samba-3 is still in beta/pre-release versions and in my "stock" distribution, Samba is on 2.2.7a version (2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix). Should I wait for Samba-3?

Hi there-- I'm using Debian testing ("Sarge") and recently upgraded to 3.0.0beta2-1 from 2.2. It broke, and I've been pulling my hair our trying to get it working again.
