At my office there's talk of moving from a "WorkGroup" currently hosted through samba to a Domain, possibly hosted through samba. Anyone got a definitive "why we should or should not rip out the existing, working workgroup to put in a domain?" :wq! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.

Now that I have winbind working, life is good. However, I've hit upon a real kick in the pants. As you can see from my email address, we have a convention here of usernames being firstname.lastname. So, when I go to change the owner ship of a file: $ chown chris.palmer myfile Linux thinks I mean user chris, group palmer, and says "invalid group" (there is no palmer group,

2.2.6 installed from rpm on rh 7.2 system... I'm trying to use pam_winbind and apache's basic authentication to restrict access to certain directories served by apache. It does work, but when I enter a wrong password I get this error in log.winbindd: Plain-text authentication for user jarboed returned NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD Is there a way that pam_winbind.so can encrypt the passwords

[Shane Drinkwater] Daniel, I have the same probelm. These are the steps I did in a previous thread... Jim, I think I found another bug... I really seem to be in printer hell :(.... I found that windows 2k doesn't update its status "ready" or "paused" when used with samba. Here is what I did... 1.) enable all of the lpr/lpd queues. check em' with lpq... 2.)

Nope, close but no cigar. With 2.2.6Pre2 Word started to behave itself but Outlook acts as though landscape is a foreign concept(i.e everything prints portrait regardless of page setup). Spoolsv also crashes on the Win2K workstations requiring a manual restart of the spooler service. We will downgrade to 2.2.5 and try Jerry's patch. In another message Jerry talks about "running"

I'm experimenting with Samba 2.2.7a in my home office-- all is well except only I can open my Word files copied to our Samba share. All other users can only open them "Read-only". Please help me correct this. Thanks, --EdB <tkged@earthlink.net> Here's the smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = Server01 workgroup = TKG os level = 64 preferred master

Recently I upgraded a server from samba 3.0.2a to 3.0.6, and now apache won't authenticate properly with pam_winbind. Winbind's been restarted, apache has been restarted, for grins I even rebooted the server. >From /var/log/messages: Aug 26 10:24:51 linps2 pam_winbind[654]: user 'jarboed' granted acces >From apache's error log: [Thu Aug 26 10:24:51 2004] [error] (2)No

Hello once again, I've got winbind doing authentication not just for the samba service but also sshd and login. It's great. However, I have to give a fully-qualified username (e.g. "GENEEDINC+chris.palmer") as the username when logging in via these methods. I wondered, Is there any way to get winbindd to insert the domain and the separator for the user, when none is provided? I

We are a primarily Linux company with a NIS backend, but we keep a couple "bridge boxes" for Windows users (on a Windows PDC) to connect to their unix accounts and access data. Under Samba 2.2, this was fairly easy with "encrypt passwords = no" turned on. But I can't figure out how to make it work with Samba 3. Does Samba 3 not support a unix passwd backend, or am I

hi all, just finished upgrading to 2.2.8a and things went well and without any sign of a glitch. I was able to log in from windows to my FreeBSD box as root just like before the upgrade. but then, all of a sudden, the box was no longer available from windows no sign of anything going on with the FreeBSD computer I can putty into it and it seems fine nmbd and smbd show up in top what could

Samba 2.2.7a (built from samba RPM's) with LPRng print subsystem. I've been having troubles with some print drivers which fail to work properly when uploaded to the samba server whether devmode gets left as null or a default devmode is used. Some drivers do not leave you in a position where you can "tickle" the driver to generate a devmode with page orientation etc before

Samba 2.2.6. I've been looking for (without success) a doc that specifies what characters are valid in an NT login/password. A script will popen '/usr/bin/wbinfo -a MY_DOMAIN+"'+user+'"%"'+passw+'"' where user and passw are untrusted submitted values, so you can understand my concern. I want to keep things tight but not reject valid user/pass

Which samba 3 tdb's are safe to have smb regenerate on startup? I know in Samba 2 you can remove everything except winbindd_idmap, share_info, and the nt* tdb's. Is it the same for samba3? Reason I asked is I just had a pretty bad failure on 3.0.1pre3 that started with bad magic errors in connections.tdb, after a few hours grew into sessionid.tdb, and finally winbind problems (though no

Greetings, We are running samba 3.0.7 with cups 1.1.20 to serve printing to WinXP pro SP1 clients running Microsoft Access 2002 Our users are having problems "Creating reports in design view" in MS Access when the default printer is a samba queue. As soon as you change the default printer to a non samba queue, everything works fine. I've been searching the archives and it

man smb.conf /Access Denied (or /Unable to connect) Turns up the "use client driver" parameter. Best way to deal with this problem, which occurs when you have w2k and XP users who install drivers locally and are local admins, is to not have them install the drivers locally (use the print$ share). Second best is to use client driver = yes, which has some side-affects but gets the job
