similar to: Profiles after a Samba machine rebuild

Howdy everyone: Here's an interesting one: I have joined a machine to the domain, and I log on. Then, I get a message to the effect that the user's roaming profile couldn't be [loaded or found?], and a local profile will be used instead (and actually this also fails, but is not the point of my question... I don't think). Background ========== I took my previous PDC, and

Hello All, I am trying to setup Samba PDC with LDAP. I installed samba-2.2.8a and openldap-2.1.19. I am using smbldap-tool that bundles with samba-2.2.8a source, for adding user, group and computer name. I was able to add username in ldap using smbldap-useradd.pl, but i find problem in adding machine name. When i try to add machine name i got following error ./smbldap-useradd.pl -w test$

Hi! I am trying to migrate to a new server, with a shiny-new installation of RedHat 9. I have downloaded the 3.0alpha23 rpm intended for RedHat 8.0... I am also using the stock RedHat 9 version of OpenLDAP. By itself, LDAP is working fine: this is how I log onto my Linux boxes. I am including one sample user (me) below, which I extracted using "ldapsearch -x". Great - this is

Hi, all: To recap: I can successfully get my WinXP box to join the domain (WHITEROCK), but after rebooting, when I try to log on: "The system cannot log you on now because the domain WHITEROCK is not available." I get this even when using the user 'root' - and this user was the one to successfully join the domain WHITEROCK!! To rule out any stale junk, my WinXP is a

Now that I have Samba all set up and working well with all the machines I have - some linux, some Win98, some WinXP , what more can I do with Samba than just allow access to each of these machines. Right now I can sit at any machine and access any others. I can move files around I can play music files from any machine and I can print on any Printer that is in the network. What more can I

Good morning everyone, Does anyone know of a way for Samba, or Linux, to send a notification to Windows users, as they log in, that there password has or is expiring in a certain number of days? I've thought about sending a network broadcast using Samba, but I have no idea how to do it automatically, based on a 60 day password life and X number of days warning before it expiring. Right now,

Xcuse me for stupid questions... but why almost all of U are usiing samba+ldap+kerberos, is it better than default authentication method? And could anyone assist me in tunning this mad thing up? I don't ever now what they (LDAP and Krb) are used for. Maybe U would be so kind to give me some advices considering this topic or some url's where i can find same topics disscussions. Thanks for

Can anyone point me to some documentation on setting up Irix to authenticate against an NT domain with winbind? I've got winbind setup so that wbinfo -u will return the domain users, however Irix does not use pam. Any way around this? Thanks

Hello , the described bellow happens both in samba 2.2.7a and 3.0-alfa22. First bug: As it is easy to check smbd , when asked about ACL entry of a file never sends to the client OS DENY Access Control Entries , only ALLOW. so for example for a XFS file with acl: # owner: a user::r-- group::rwx other::rwx Win2K security tab shows for user "a": Read & exec =

I finally got Samba-3.0beta1 as PDC with LDAP backend. However, I need to specify: passdb backend = ldapsam smbpasswd:smbpasswd guest and have the root account's exists in smbpasswd file. I still could not get a uid=root entry in LDAP to allow client workstation to join the domain. When in samba-2.2.8a I could use a fake rid=506 with uidNumber=0 entry in LDAP (as a SambaAccount) and it

Hi, I'm fairly new to both linux and samba. I'm running RH8 with Samba 2.2.7a. Samba's installed and is basically working, but can anyone tell me how I can get samba to start when linux boots up? I'm currently having to start it by running the following commands; ./usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D ./usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D I've got the Using samba book from o'reilly, but

Hi there: We have recently inherited a circa 1996 SGI Indy Colorbus Cyclone running on Irix. Our intention is to use this unit to drive our Canon CLC900 Scanner Copier and make it accessible to our Windows Network. At the moment, our Windows Network does not "see" the Cyclone & vice versa. I have read that installing some kind of Windows Samba client onto our windows

Hi! Please don't whack me too hard for even attempting this, but I need a definitve answer for a school network: can a share from a Samba 2.0.6 be accessed from a WinXP Prof with SP2 at all? If so, I'd appreciate a hint. Thanks a bunch in advance, Torsten

I upgraded from 2.2.12 (and kept my tdb files -- it is a possibility that this is a part of my problem, but let me run it by you anyway). I'm attempting to do a domain trust between my production domain and a test domain. However, on my production domain, I have the following problem: # /products/samba/bin/net rpc trustdom list -U novosirj Password: Trusted domains list: NWK-DEV

Hi all I'm guessing this is a little off topic but here goes... We use PXELINUX and kickstart to automate our RHEL deployments and updates. Recently we started using PXELINUX/memdisk and an MS-DOS image to update the workstation BIOS'es. After selecting <F12> (network boot) and picking the update BIOS option, the BIOS is flashed, BIOS configuration made standard and then the

Would anyone happen to have some examples of polycom configs, specifically the 650 with sidecar for blf. I have the asterisk side all configured since I've set up blf with other types of phones, but I'm missing the polycom side. I've put together a <mac>-directory.xml, and the sidecar now lists numbers as speed dials but does not subscribe to blf.

Hi, I''ve run linux off an on for several years. Recently I''ve been using windows (simply for ease), but have gotten so fed up with stability and what not. I had read good things about xen, so I installed suse and was hoping to not give up the 10% of things that I need windows for. I''ve still got windows on a partition and was wondering if I could boot that, but wanted

I''ve deployed an application using Capistrano. But on my local machine I edited one of the earlier migrations. I''ve tried "cap deploy_with_migrations", but it looks like it didn''t rebuild the database. How can I do the equivalent of this using Capistrano?

Hi, I setup a samba 3.0alpha24-1 as PDC (simple with smbpasswd without LDAP:-( ). With Windows 2000 everything works fine (server profiles, mapping the home directory of the users as Z:/ etc.) But :-( Windows XP I could join the domain (without any trouble). But I could not login as a user. Windows XP returns domain is not accessible (die domain ist nicht verf?gbar). But when I login to the
