*I just recently migrated our web server to Red Hat 8.0 running Samba 2.2.7 from FreeBSD 4.2 running Samba 2.2.3a. In windows, a user copy or moves files to there home directory on the server running samba. The file seems to copy or move fine (It is visible when accessing the share from explorer), but if I telnet to the server the file is not in the user's home directory. I have tailed the

Team: I have a Linux Server running Debian Testing (2.4.18 kernel) and Samba 2.2.3a-12.1 It's been running GREAT. This is a marvelous product. I have a minor issue, though. 2 of the 14 Win2K (all at SP3 and fully "Windows Updated") will "disconnect" the shares on the Samba server after only a few seconds of inactivity. This isn't typically a problem, except that

I am an evil M$ MCSE :), who of late is planning on opening his own business... Due to the large cost involved with setting up Win2K server, both Hardware and OS, we are considering a Linux server setup. We have SOME experience with Linux, but were after information specifically on the possible implementation of Win2K Group Policies (as well as 'Domain' Authentication_ for the client

We have a few win9x workstations, that have spurious login problems. They get the message: No domain server was available to validate your password you may not be able to gain access to some network resources. The passwords are definetly correct and the problem will sometimes disappear after 5 - 10 retries, but almost always after a full restart of the win9x PC, very occasionally it takes as

I much regret in many ways having to ask this question below. But our business needs now demand more than we think we can deliver using open source software exclusively. What is the best way to 'suck up' all of the domain group and user data from a current samba 3.0.21a PDC into a microsoft windows 2003 server? We have two basic needs that demand we now introduce active directory servers

Samba admins, I have stumbled across a FREE & interesting utility that allows one to create Policy Templates straight from an registry export "*.reg" (unicode or ansi), thank you Yizhar Hurwitz. http://www.new-ofek.co.il/yizhar/ Hope somebody else finds this usefull too. Urs Rau PS: Now if anybody knows of a unix commandline util/script that creates both User and Machine

Sorry to those of you that have received duplicates of my messages over the easter weekend. I had subscribed to the nntp server of my isp (pipex uk) and searched for "samba" it showed a few hits but "gmane.network.samba.general" showed as containing no posts but "mailing.unix.samba" showed a bit more than 20'000 so I subscribed to that and sent a slurr of

Recently configured a client with new server Unfortunately the PDC / Backup Machine is an NT4.0 Machine, {Updated with all current Service packs}\ I configured several departmental servers with FreeBSD & samba, these then push files to the NT Machine for nightly backup, one at a time through perl script. I have also configured a samba server to run WINS and DHCP only, for the network. All

I am using 3.0.13 and have temporarily run out of disk space on the main samba server, so I have NFS mounted some space from another machine. into a directory that is accessible under samba. When I try to save directly from ms word 2003 sp1 (and same from word 2000) it tells me: on the win98se and win xp pro sp2 clients: "Microsoft Office Word" Word cannot complete the save due to

What bothers me is that samba is filling up my log files with a lot of extraneous/fake entries about authentication failures. "Extraneous/fake" - because all it is is a reflection of the way the protocol actually tries to login - going through the upper/lower case mutations as configured. sample log entries: ----------------------- Jun 30 19:40:35 dolphin PAM_pwdb[26988]: 1

I should think this is quite a basic question but what I have tried so far hasn't worked. I have centos altarch 7 and I want to mount an ntfs volume. (I am beginning to suspect it is not available for 32 bit so I will need to get the source and compile?) ?These commands I have tried: yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release yum --enablerepo=extras yum install epel-release I have

Hi All, Is there a way (speak command/wsh script) that allows a win9x workstation that is logged into a samba domain server (running onlinux for example) to see from the workstation what owner a certain file or directory has? Under win2k the "dir /q" command does this adequately. And if this is possible, is it then possible for someone to change the ownership of a file to another

Is there a switch or config setting somewhere that would allow me to start up more than the default 4 xen DomU instances? I am finding that the CentOS 5 (x86_64) installation only allows me to start up 4 virtual machines at a time. (It is definetly not a lack of cpu resources, memory or disk space.) Any help or pointers, would be much appreciated. Regards, -- Urs Rau

On win XP Pro workstations it would be so convenient if the domain logon script which is stored on the samba pdc could be made to run with Administrative (or System) privileges. I know that I can interactively run another security context by choosing "run as user" but how could I achieve this non-interactively and domain wide whilst a "limited account" is loggin in? Thanks

Greetings all. I just enabled all repos on my system, to enable me to find a particular package. This is the first time I have noticed all the Centos repos < 5.6 being listed. Is this a new feature, to include all repos pre 5.6 now? Here's the output of the aforementioned yum command - sorry it's a little bit long: [root at karsites ~]# yum --enablerepo '*' --disablerepo

I have a need to renumber some of my /etc/group numbers from below 100 to a value that is above 500. (e.g 88 -> 535, 91 -> 632, etc etc, about 9 changes in total) If I had to do this in an earlier version of samba then I think the correct files I would have to keep in sync would be /etc/group and /etc/samba/smbpasswd, simply changing the gid from the value below 100 to it's new value

Thank you, installed it and it worked fine. Now I am looking for the same for CentOS 7... It did not look like you have that in your repository?

So....apparently I have some messages which are not RFC compliant sitting in my mailboxes (mostly older ones), and I have some software which is refusing to handle such messages. 1. Does anyone know of a nice way to verify that all my messages are compliant/find those that aren't? (I suppose I could use the existing failing software, but I was hoping for something a little more robust...) 2.
