I was just with my boss cause he had trouble with some Excel and Word document on the Samba server. I noticed that when he saves an Excel document sometimes it takes a lot of time to save and sometimes Excel stop responding, when that happens the file stays locked on the server and when he tries to open it back, he can only open it read only. Is there a reason why it takes so much time to save?

Which filesystem supports ACL? Ext2/ext3 with the acl.bestbits.at patch, XFS and what other? Does 2.4.18 supports XFS or do you need a patch for it? What about ACL on XFS? Do you need a patch? Is there any filesystem that supports ACL, that the kernel supports without patches? Any place I can find a comparison of different filesystems with advantage and disadvantage of each? The Filesystems HOWTO

Hi, I had to rename a machine name today because someone used the same name on two computers. I just added a random character to the machine name and I thought that since I have the idealx script setup to auto-create machines accounts it would add it automatically but it didn't so I had to get the computer out of the domain and rejoin it with it's new machine name so it would add it

Ok I have a samba server that I use for file sharing, I have a lot of trouble with it and I want to see if putting those shares on a WinXP box would work better. But we don't have a domain here, just workstation in a workgroup and I was wondering if there was a way I could copy all user/pass from the samba server to the Windows box so that transfering the shares from Samba to Windows would be

When doing ./configure --with-acl-support it gives me a message almost at the end of "checking whether to support ACLs... no". What am I missing??

Well I'm trying to setup the Samba server to act as a print server too. I had uploaded the drivers for the 4 printers we have and I installed all 4 printers on my test computer and it worked well. But when I got back from my vacations one of the tech told me that he couldn't install the printer drivers from the server and when I check the driver didn't seem to be in the driver list

Hi all, I have gotten the 'profiles' command to work for NT and Win2K profiles very well. In Windows XP, I am able to change the 'owner' but not the 'group' SID. It gives no errors but it just doesn't change them. A snippet of the profile in question is below: furnsrv:/data/samba/profiles/jon # profiles NTUSER.DAT |grep S-1-5 Owner SID: S-1-5-32-544 Group

Not strictly a Samba question but hopefully someone has a solution. We run samba as a pdc for an office network of 2000/XP machines, the machines is old and dying, I have installed samba 3 on a new server and given this a different domain name. I can join machines to the new domain no problem, I can create new samba users and log in with them on the machines, the problem is when I try to migrate

Hello everyone! I have had a lot of luck with mailing lists in the past, so I'm hoping this one works out well also. I've recently helped my company move from an NT4 PDC to a Samba 2.2.7a PDC and everything has gone smoothly until this point. We made the decision to migrate to roaming profiles so our users could move around and use whichever computer they wanted to unlike before,

I'm having a problem with Roaming profiles in Windows XP with Samba as PDC. I've googled and trolled the mailing lists and read the Samba documentation. Problem: User logs onto domain from WinXP client and profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a long time and lights on hub are lit up). However, unless that user is in the admin group locally, all/some of the profile

Hi, my problem is the following: i am trying to replace an old SUSE 8.2, Samba 2.2 domain controller with a SUSE 9.3 system with samba 3.0 as PDC. Everything works fine, i can join the new domain, i replaced the machine and domain sid from the new server with the old ones. But how can reuse the profiles from the old machine at the new one? If i make a simple remote copy, the settings of the

Hi, i have a Ubuntu x64 10.04 Server. Samba configured as PDC. Since today i experience that roaming prfiles can't copy one file to the server and shout an error message. It's no specific file, mostly its one in my Thunderbird Profile. Does anybody know what could this cause to happen? My smb.conf: [global] printing = bsd netbios name = PDC server string = PDC (%h)

Hello, In order to maintain some sort of "group profile" (i.e. one mandatory profile shared between a group of users that have the same profile path), I would like to copy profiles between users. This works fine with System/Advanced/User Profiles/Copy To. However, I would like to automate this using a command line tool for Windows or Linux (I use the Samba3 server). Does anyone

Hi, Yesterday I found big problems concerning my roaming profiles. They seem to work on some computers where they are always used, on some other the did not load properly (i.e. a default profile was loaded instead). After some debugging with userenv.log I found the very strange problem: case sensitivity for ntuser.dat!: [...] IsCentralProfileReachable: Testing <F:\testuser\ntuser.dat>

Hello! I am running samba 3.0 on fc2 in a win2000 network. I want to use only mandatory profiles in the network, but can't get this to work properly. I have set up a "perfect user" on my local machine", and copied this profile to \\server\netlogon\Default User. I have also made this default profile mandatory by renaming ntuser.dat to ntuser.man. In smb.conf I have added:

Hi I have a problem with the cmd : profiles. I want to change the sid in a ntuser.dat. I have already read many message in mailing list who explain how to use profiles but it's dont't work. i use profile like this: profiles -c S-1-5-21-my-old-sid -n S-1-5-21-my-new-sid ./ntuser.dat on the output i see the new sid like i want but the change take no effect on the file when i do

Following TOSHARG and "Samba 3 by examples" I implemented Folder redirection plus some security restrictions by building a custom NTUSER.DAT which is the default profile of my users. The problem is that each user has read/write access to its profile share therefore he can replace its NTUSER.DAT. This is why I chose mandatory profiles. Is there another solution? The problem with

I need a little advice on finishing off a Samba PDC. I have Samba 3.0.0RC1 installed and working as a PDC on a Redhat AS 3.0 machine. It authenticates users nicely but the "roaming" profiles don't work. Tailing the samba log, I see the an attempt to access the users ntuser.dat file, which doesn't exist before the first logon, when logging in. The profile directory
