similar to: CUPS and Samba 3.0 - printers no show

Hi all, I can add my W2K machines to the Samba 3.0.5pre1 with no problems, but I can not add my XP machines. Existing XP machines work fine, but when I try to add new XP machine it does not work. Here is my smb.conf and pc from the log.smbd Thanks -Glenn [global] netbios name = HSFNP01 workgroup = MTHCS security = user os level = 64 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes

Hi, I am testing share parameters, and have the following share definition: ## Section - [shareA] [shareA] path = /tmp/shareA writelist = user1 and do not understand why user1 cannot write files in the share when connected as user1. Unix permissions for the share files are rw for everyone, and the share directory has wide-open permissions. Samba version is 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE.

Hi All, I'm trying to get samba to work with a CUPS printer setup. Unfortuantely I'm falling over at the first hurdle. I've installed samba 3.0.12 from sources and I've a redhat 9.0 box running CUPS 1.1.71. I've installed the following smb.conf file:- [global] load printers=yes printings=cups printcap name=cups passdb backend = tdsam [printers] comment = All Printers path

I am trying to test a Samba PDC on our network that currently shares files as a workgroup (with a different name, of course). Microsoft states that this can be done, with no issues (so long as the workgroup and the domain have different names). The permanent home for the shares is on //receptionist. ( The temporary home for the Samba PDC is on //haze. ) Once the PDC has been set up

Typical Linux Distros add all sorts of Unix groups to users when it creates them, like cdrom, floppy, dialout, audio, etc... Logging in to the domain from Windows with an account that has such membership over on Linux... "ifmember.exe /list" shows all of those memberships. Why exactly? I would expect only the groups I did a "net groupmap" on would be considered by Samba.

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

Hi! Let's go back to this topic please! I have to replace the Windows NT 4.0 server with Samba but I still don't know how to do this. I need to allow to someone (some user group) the right to add files into the folder. They use this "feature" on current NT server ver often and to this in the following ways: 1. Rightclick on file you want to add, Copy, then go to server, for

Hello, I can not seem to get smbpsswd to add any users to samba. No matter if I use the CLI, the Webmin module or SWAT I always get this response when trying to add any user [root@matrix1 samba]# smbpasswd -m -a gerard Failed initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user gerard$. Failed to modify password entry for user gerard$ I take it this has somehting to do with PAM & or shadow passwords, & I

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hi, i'm running a samba PDC on samba 3.0 and just had to reinstall the server because of a dead cpu causing corruption. luckily i had complete backups of the samba-files, so i copied them back to /etc/samba, /var/lib/samba and /var/cache samba. (tdb-files) i had one workstation (xp) removed from the domain and wanted to add it again, but then the station always gives me an error that i

Hello, I've compiled Samba 3.0.0 with CUPS support. I verified this: # ldd /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd *snip* libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x400dc000) *snip* My smb.conf was copied from the HOWTO and the relevant sections look like: [global] *snip* # print support load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups *snip* [printers] comment = All

I've been going over a problem and haven't been able to resolve it. I think I've narrowed the problem down to Samba, but I could use some advice on this. ? A few weeks ago I installed a print and fax server for a client. ?I used an old PII system with 64 MB RAM, SUSE Pro 9.1, configured to use Samba and HylaFAX. ?There are 8 client workstations running Window 98 SE (most of the

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples

Hi I have samba 3.0.14a (debian/stable) and wonder where the problem is that running this command: # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512 type=d gives: adding entry for group Domain Admins failed! but (note changed rid) # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=1000 type=d works fine. Hm, winbind is not working, but I

hi, i'm moving from nt4 to samba ( 3.0.7 on suse 9.2). I'm able to join the domain, and roaming profiles work. I used net groupmap to map unix to nt group, this way: System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-2839205766-3667556824-2828225164-514) -> nobody Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> ntguests Power Users (S-1-5-32-547)

Hi, I recently upgraded my Samba server from 3.0.2a to 3.0.14a running on Solaris 8. I made the assumption that all my printer definitions would be retained including driver information/files as long as the share containing all the files was still there. Although I still see the actual printers in the list of printers, it seems that they no longer know what drivers they use. When I attempt to

I'm running debian testing, so samba 3.05 atm. As of a few upgrades ago, which i think coincided with a library restructure or somewhat samba is no longer honouring read/write/admin lists on share definitions. Using the below share as an example, previously all users could access the share with read access, and those in the ntadmins group had write access. Since the upgrade users can only

Hello, Have wrestled this one for about a week, now, getting frustrated ;-) Running samba as PDC for my domain (cf. smb.conf further down) When logging in on my 2K Pro machine, I first get a "can't find roaming profile, attempting local profile"-error, but logon using my user's smb account accepts only the correct password and so the identification part works well. Next,

I have been trying for 2 months to get my samba server to add machine accounts 'on the fly" I have added both of these to my smb.conf add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 102 -s /bin/false Neither of these seems to do anything. I have around 250 computers to add, so adding the machine
