similar to: FW: Unofficial Samba+ACL howto

Hi all, As promised, I have started a howto document on setting up Samba with NT ACL support, based on experiences in my workplace, as documentation for this seems to be on the short side at the moment. It is available at the following address: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto I have yet to convert it to proper DocBook format, and it needs more material (probably

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

Hi, I am trying to set a samba server as my fileserver in a Win2k network with a AD domain Controller. Authentication is already done against an unix KDC, trusted by the DC and everything work fine from now. When trying to connect i have two problem. first is not that related to Samba, as i get a UNKNOWN_SERVER as the reply for the TGS-REQ sent by Win2k client. Excuse me if it is ununderstanble

Hello everyone, As part of my traineeship, i have been asked to deploy a solution to unify logins between Windows NT (and perhaps 2000 in the near future), Solaris 8 and GNU/Linux stations. Solaris stations are already running with a pam_ldap authentication with a OpenLDAP server. GNU/Linux are to be installed within the next monthes and this should not be a problem with PAM (Linux distrib is a

Hi, What is/will be the support for Kerberos TGT tickets in Samba 3.0 ? I am trying to find a way to authenticate users on both Windows and unix stations against the same KDC (MIT) and it would help if Samba was able to grant access based on TGT tickets delivered to the windows client and then deliver accounting information to the stations. I am afraid this follow no standart protocol, but i

Hello everyone, Can I use Ldap to authenticate against our W2K PDC? I have winbind working for Samba 2.2.8a - but the boss wants me to see about Ldap. If this is possible could you provide a starting point for me? I can use getent group to get a list of domain groups after I adjusted the /etc/ldap.conf By default Samba found our State Ldap server upon installation - I work for the State

Dear All, I use samba 2.2.7a-8.9.0 on red hat 9.0. I configure Windows 2000 = domain. Samba is configured as a client using security=3Ddomain. I can = redirect folder (My documents, and so on) to samba. However, I can not = roaming user's to store in samba server. It displays "Can not load = profile, attempt to use local profile." Would you please tell me how to = solve this

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup

I've been trying to get the acl functionality (from windows) to work now for several days and have not found a solution. I've spent many hours Googling the web, and searching the samba list archives. If someone else has this working (in the 3.0 alpha code), I would appreciate seeing your config files, if you wouldn't mind. Goal: to be able to add user/group permissions to files

Update: Just for my personal assurance, I decided to recompile samba again making sure to use the parameters I thought I had used the first time (./configure --with-winbind --with-acl-support --with-ads --with-smbmount). Without changing any of my configs, I restarted samba and winbind. One trick: to change rights on a file, you must own it or be root. This is where the "force user =

Hello everyone, I need to setup some directories (in RHL 7.2 running Samba 2.2.3a w/ W2K PDC) to allow multiple groups, each of which has different permissions. If this can be done on the Linux side, this would be preferred, but if it has to be done in Samba, any help in understanding how to make this happen is appreciated. I know Windows NT/W2K allows multiple groups and I would think Linux

If you can see the server, but not shares, you most likely have not published any directories. What version of the BE agent are you using? I've noticed 4.6 works well (the install actually works well and will walk you through the setup to publish the directories to be backed up). It's often easier to just publish root (but exclude /proc /tmp). Also, I've found out that in the hosts

Just wanted to thank those who have helped me (knowingly (such as Andrew Bartlett) and others unknowingly) get Samba set up to work with MS Active Directory and with ACL support working. As is typical in lists like these, there are way more requests than thanks. Being in the IT industry, I know personally the never-ending deluge of help requests and the seemingly very short list of thank

Follow up to my question for those also looking for backup solutions: Thanks for the input, it was helpful and gave me some leads. For What it's worth: I've been testing Novastor's Novanet 8.5. Pretty impressive. It has a nice GUI interface or a command line menu system, backups performed well, recognized my library without any extra effort on my part. Pricing isn't too bad

Yes, they have a 30 day downloadable demo. Here's the link: http://www.network-backup.com/datasheets/nnet8linux.html The installation was a piece of cake.

I am experimenting with MAC OS 9 using samba as a file server. I am using Thursby's DAVE to connect. For those who don't know, DAVE is a client utility that allows an OS 8 or 9 system to connect to windows file shares. The MAC can connect to both servers with no problems. However, when copying a file to the samba 3 server, I get the following error: The item <file name> could

If you are not using a domain and have added the users directly with the smbpasswd utility, you can just cat the smbpasswd file. Typically, it's found in /usr/local/samba/private directory. If it's long, you might want to use more (or less). Rick Segeberg Provo Site Manager, IT Department The Waterford Institute rick.segeberg@waterford.org -----Original Message----- From:

I appreciate your response and I tried your solution. However, it does not seem to help. I am using MS Active Directory on a Windows 2000 server for the authentication and rights for the users. I realize AD is based on LDAP, but it's been changed to suit Microsoft's needs - meaning it's not "pure ldap". Based on what you said, I made sure to create a user and a few groups

Intro: There have been a few postings on this subject with few answers. If anyone knows where to point those of us trying to work this out, or will enlighten us as to the limitations of ACL's and Samba, we would appreciate your help. So far, acl.bestbits.at does not have any information on this particular problem. Environment: Samba 3.0 alpha 21 or 23 (I skipped 22, but most likely it had

We have experianced a strang behavior with QuarkXPress files. These files can be opened/modified/saved by user a, user b can open/modify the file but saving is not possible. With all other applications open/modify/save files is possible. We use: SuSE8.1, Samba 2.2.5, reiserfs. Directories/files are set 2770 Thank you for your help Markus
