Im using Samba 2.2.7a on my RH7.3 box. The 3 users I have had on the system work flawlessly, but when I add a new user (userconf, adduser, smbpasswd -a) the system takes the user, it exists in both PSSWD files, but won't allow logging on from the Win9x box. I look in /var/log/messages and it doesn't tell me anything, nor do my etc/samba/log.smbd-nmbd files, is there a particular switch

Sometimes an install errors out looking for a file called libc.so.6. I did a locate and the file IS there, it just doesn't see it. I don't want to have to download a 16 meg RPM just for one small file. Does anyone know where JUST this file (most likely updated) can be found by itself? Kev

On my windows machine I use a software fire will called ZoneAlarm. One feature I like Is the ability to block applications from using the net. I''ve looked with Shorewall and wonder if it does, or was ever meant to. Not a complaint, a curiosity. Kev -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I was thinking of putting a slightly bigger HD on my Linux server and would like to know the easiest way. I know that ghost works well on FAT32 partitions, but does it work on Ext3 partitions too? Id rather not reinstall if I don't have to, so any and all suggestions are appreciated. TIA Kev

Hi, We have an old domain with a samba-3 PDC and LDAP backend in our HQ and two BDC in our branch offices. Since we don't use the domain in our HQ anymore and one of the branches will be moved to our new domain (2003/2008) I'm thinking about decomissioning the PDC and promote both BDCs as PDC for their branch offices and networks. I would also get rid of LDAP. Changing the backend to

Hello I have a network setup with one Samba PDC and two Samba BDCs separated by routers (ref http://www.cybersource.com.au/users/mikef/samba/). In this test environment the Samba servers all use the master OpenLDAP server on the PDC, but the production system will have OpenLDAP servers (using master-slave replication) on all Samba servers. I can't get the Windows XP client to change a

Hi, I was wondering if a Samba BDC should be able to create users and computer accounts when connecting to a LDAP PDC server? Should the add scripT lines be included in a BDC's smb.conf file? Normally, as far I know, BDC should just log on users. Or am I wrong? Thanks,

Hello! I want to create BDC with smbpasswd backend, just because I run ldap master on the same machine as PDC and I don't think that using ldap backend will be far better for me. Only thing I don't understand: I read in howto: <quote> Machine Accounts Keep Expiring This problem will occur when the passdb (SAM) files are copied from a central server but the local Backup

Morning everyone. I have a question about something i've been thinking about lately. I recently rolled out a samba server running 2.2.8a with OpenLDAP 2.0.27 on the backend to hold the user account info. My question is, how many people out there are running samba as their PDC and have implemented a BDC as well? I'm starting to consider about putting up a BDC for safeties sake. Does

Hi, Running 3.0.10. I have two PDC's running both with two BDC's, i have a oneway trust account setup on my PDC's, do i also need to setup up the trusts on the BDC's encase of a PDC failure? If so how do i do this? regards -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daniel Wilson Systems Administrator IT & Communications Service University of

Hi there, I would like to know how Samba / Windows determines which domain controller should handle a logon request, and whether there is a way I can affect the process. Here's the situation: I have a school installation running a Samba domain, with a PDC (1.1GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM) and one BDC (much smaller, 366 with 64 MB RAM), both with RedHat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.5. There are about 80

I can't see samba server linux( suse 7.2 ) from win 2000 server although i install samba & i configure smb.conf, so if i configure in smb.conf, public=yes i can see samba server well but if i comment it only i can see workgroup & share folder and then asked passwd & user then i type my user & passwd that in samba server wac created but don't accept it, although in

I have a Samba-LDAP PDC at an office and 5 BDC's at other offices. At corporate HQ I have a W2k Server and domain. I have properly configured an interdomain trust and Users in the Samba domain can get to sections on the W2k machine regardless of location. However, members in the W2K domain can only access shares on the PDC. Attempts to access shares on a BDC cause a user name

Hello! I configured samba BDC according to howto. PDC is in the same subnet. But I see that windows ( at least 2003 servers from the same subnet) sometimes connects to BDC to retrieve info about users. Now I use smbpasswd and machine accounts are in passwd. I'm afraid that will try to change their password too ;-) Could somebody explain me why windows behavoir?

Hi all, I have a BDC which uses the LDAP backend of my PDC. Unfortunately all the users who log-in in the morning and who are processed by this BDC, do not get their logon script executed. The BDC logs this error message: [2013/05/24 07:28:11.946577, 2] auth/auth.c:304(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [foobar] -> [foobar] -> [foobar] succeeded

Hello, I have a pb in using samba with cups. I put "printing=cups" in my smb.conf file but I cannot connect the printers from Windows NT 4.0. Could you send me a smb.conf file using cups as an example ? Thank you

OK - I'm actually functioning but I'm afraid and I want to fill in a knowledge gap - perhaps a slight gap in the How-To Book or my ability to soak in its' wisdom. LDAP up and working on two machines, master & slave and changes made in master can be found by ldapsearch on slave faster than two up arrows and a return (gosh, it only took me 10 days but the light bulb has definitely

Good morning/evening to all. I hope I'm not taking up space here or wasting people's time but - I've had several samba machines joined to a Win2k3 AD for some time now. Of course, I'm using kerberos, but that's it. I've kinda rolled the bones up 'til now in that I've relied on the PDC without having a BDC. But, if the PDC were to experience any down time

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work. The PDC and the BDC will have his own LDAP data base. I just install the PDC without problems and my next step is to install the BDC. I configured the LDAP that work in multi master mode. I made some test and the LDAP works

I'm in the process of building a Samba PDC for my office, and I have a couple of questions. We have three regional offices connected via VPN. We'd like to have network browsing across all three network, with a single login. I was going to do a Samba machine with an LDAP backend on the same machine. So would it be advisable to have the PDC at the main office and BDC at each of the regional
