Hi, I'm using samba 3.0.4, with XP clients and server-side-profiles. Sometimes, my users save bookmarks with strange characters in them. These files are saved flawlessly on the server, but Windows is unable to copy them back to the local profile, and so the user can not log in. I'm using a iso8859-15 charset. I hope this is not a common question, I looked in the archive but I had been

I've seen this posting before but I need to get a grasp on this. I am using winbindd for users that don't have a local account on a Linux box. I thought that placing the entries below in the smb.conf would create users in ou=Idmap. Instead the ou=Idmap increments the uidNumber with every user that is added,but the user ID mappings are stored in /usr/local/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb. What

mksmbpasswd.sh does not create accounts with the X flag in the password flags field. Does this X matter, and if so, what does it mean? It's not in the man page. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book

This is a slight rework of my last question but should be clearer. My samba installation appears to be trying to use /root/tmp as its temp directory. This is useless as when logged in as a user the system has no access to the temp directory and so nothing works. How do I pursaude Samba to use /tmp as the temp dir. I am running Samba 3 on a Mandrake system. Thanks

This could be quite simple but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how I can automatically mount a users home drive (which is located on a windows server) when they log in? Is there a pam module for that? Thanks very much, Sapan

All, I currently have a problem where the default user profile is not being picked up - Windows simply ingores it and creates one based on local settings. I understand samba supports default user profiles, and one can be put into the profiles share like this: /export/profiles/Default User/ This directory contains a copy of a working profile from a proper user. The relevant smb.conf sections

After upgrading rc2 -> rc4 (suse binary packages) line 'valid users = %S' in [homes] section prevents user getting to his homedirectory in logfile smbd says: [2003/09/25 15:07:59, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(384) user 'xxxx' (from session setup) not permitted to access this share (xxxx) Hannu

I have posted this question twice without any response. We are running samba on an OpenUnix 8 machine, then we are mapping the samba share on a Windows 2000 machine. If we run our process from the Windows command line..(copying files to the share) everything runs great. The problem is if someone telnets to the Windows 2000 machine and runs the same process they get "The specific network

Hi folks, is anybody using those two products together and can give me any advice on how to do this? My specific issue has been addressed in other posts before, but as nobody responded, it would just now be interesting if anybody at least uses those applications together successfully? greets Malte

I am wondering if anyone has ever answered the question of group policy operability under Windows 9x. That is, I am _not_ looking for a work-around but the real thing--one config.pol file to service several groups. I have done my homework, hopefully well, but found nothing. To prove this, I will quickly summarize my findings below. Either I have found: 1. a list of unresolved (mostly

I have been searching for info on this and haven't found an authoritative answer. From what I have read, oplocks are good because they increase connection speeds, but they are bad because they don't really work, but they actually do work, but they only work in some cases, etc etc. so, here's my problem and my question together: I get tons of these messages every day (over a thousand a

Hello, Can you say me which is the key to add in the registry for Windows XP to Enable Plain Text Password? Best Regards

Kevin, Firstly, you need to obtain the DES libraries. Then you need to tell the Samba Makefile that you wish to compile in DES encryption services and link with the DES library. Then in the smb.conf file you need to add to the [Globals] section: encrypted passwords = yes Then you need to create a separate smbpasswd file. Please read the documentation in the docs directory of the Samba source

Has anyone seen this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Embedded/sak/evaluation/compare/advantage.asp And has anyone from the Samba team posted a response? It seems like some of the information presented there is contrary to what I know about Samba. ERX

Hi all!! I'd set up my samba 2.2.7 to auth with "security=domain" mode, but my clients cannot auth successfully never because the samba server cannot "talk" correctly with my PDC(w2k adv. Server). In the computer manager event, I see authentication request but with empty usernames......so the PDC reject the authentication request. Is this a know

mmurrock can browse, but he can't write. Is there an easy way to add write access for the mmurrock user? here is my homes share: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S, mmurrock create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 Thanks, Dan Didier

Can anybody give me a hint how to set up Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0) with rsync-ing WIN-NT PDC so that if WIN-NT PDC is down all the clients can still get Authentication service from Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0). i have seen in Samba documentation that it can be done using rsync but nowhwere it is clearly explained howto do it.. I ran out of gas by looking through google also... :-( With Best Regards YS

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba
