rsh gives a reduced environment. if rsync on ApplServ isn't in /bin or /usr/bin, that's probably your problem. It's such a common problem that somebody added the "--rsync-path=" option for just such needs. In my case, i have rsync in /cadappl/encap/bin (symlinked into /cadappl/encap/packages/rsync.something/bin). It's in my path, but not the base system path given

We have 20-30 computers here with win98 and a Linux/Samba Server. We have just implemented Samba PDC. The only problem I see is if we change passwords on a computer..that changes on that workstation and on Samba and Unix.

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

Sorry - I should have addressed this to Paul Eggleston who started this thread. Regardless who started it (the Samba + ACL howto), my offer still stands if I can be of any help. I'd be happy to help with this documentation, input, proof reading, whatever. There's definately a big lack here and the Samba team already has their hands full.

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.

Hello, I have recently compiled Samba 3.0.0 Beta 3 on Debian Woody. I compiled it with LDAPSAM support.

Hello, My company has decided to upgrade everyone from win98 to winXP. So, I've begun the process of setting up a test network to test samba with winXP before the XP rollout begins. I downloaded samba-3.0b1 a couple weeks ago, compiled it, and started configuring it. For the most part everything has been a breeze. I have a winXP SP1a machine on the test network that currently sees

Hi, We migrated from redhat 7.1 to redhat 3 ES and ran into one road block after the other. Most of them were solved except this last one. Users cannot change their passwords and then I read somewhere that samba 3.0 and MS KB828471 or 741 don't want to be friends. Then I upgraded my samba to be samba 3.0.7 (which i guess is the latest).... Then I un-installed the KBB patch being accused.

Hi, I am trying a test of migrating a NT4 Domain to Samba 3 Beta 3 configured to use LDAP on Redhat 8. Is this possible? Details ------- I previously had Beta 2 on LDAP running as it's own domain controller without problem and could create users (in LDAP) with smbpasswd -a. XP clients could join and login OK. Now I have flushed that setup and have loaded Beta 3 configured to use LDAP,

I was looking through my o'reilly book and according to it all of the ldap inputs that would be in smb.conf are not supposed to be there in samba 3.0. How do you specify which ldap server to use and whatnot?

I have a RH 6.0 server setup with accounts for about 1500 users (school), I use encrypted passwords. I would like users to be able to change their samba ('Windows networking') passwords and at the same time change their unix passwords (used for E-mail). I have the following in my smb.conf file as per the given example: unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd
