Has anyone else experienced high CPU usage when using RSYNC in windows 2000 server? I am using the rsync.exe (and applicable DLL's) from the cygwin installation (I am not however running cygwin on this machine). The linux machine connecting to the windows rsync daemon has a very low performance hit when the session is running (see below). However, the windows machine, which has a much

I have successfully joined the XP machine to the domain. The strange part is, that it only wanted to be joined if it connected to the PDC and not the BDC. The way it is set-up is that the XP machine and a BDC is in one branch and the PDC is in another. Every time I would try to connect via the BDC, it would return a value ACCESS DENIED I stopped the smb service on the BDC, and got it to

Hi everybody, I've been looking for information on "how to create administrative shares", but I didn't find... Can you help me on this matter? Regards, -- Benilton Carvalho DE / IMECC / UNICAMP Red Hat Linux i18n Team

Samba 2.2.8a, RH7.3 I have successfully connected machines running XP to the samba controlled domain. There are 3 XP machines, each with only one user designated as a power user (ie domain\username power user). Each can log into any of the three machines without a problem. Now I am trying to log a different person into any of these machines and I get the message "System Could Not Log

Everything is going amazing in the windows->samba conversion until I ran into a roadblock..I really dont know what may be going on so I will outline it as best as I can. We have a program called realty toolkit which saves its configuration and security settings onto the network. Well, after putting the files onto the linux box, it no loger wants to work, the security check fails. calling the

from another post today about a different topic, the reply said that nmd has some issue restarting with a service smb restart in redhat 7.3..which seems to answer my question as to why I have to do it twice... thanks > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris McKeever > Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 10:35 AM > To: 'John H Terpstra'; _Chris McKeever_ > Cc:

Do you have to enable encrypted passwords for smbpasswd to work? I have yet to enable encryption because I wanted to test everything first, but have enabled 'update encrypted = Yes' so that this will update the smbpasswd file. I also have 'unix password sync = Yes'. However, I cannot get smbpasswd to change the passwords, either by user or root. Any suggestions? Carey

When I set: wins support = yes time server = yes my wins service stops working and no computers show up in the network neighborhood..as soon as I change time server = no, they start to re-populate. I have looked around and havent found a definitive answer (apologies if I overlooked it)... but if someone could tell me if this is a documented issue, or just me that woudl be great Thanks

Setup: Suse 7.2, Samba 2.2.6 Win 2K PDC Project: I would like to use winbind to authenticate users that do not have local accounts on the linux machine for access to various file and print shares. I have gotten winbind to successfully grab the user and groups from the NT box (verified by getent passwd). However, I have had little luck obtaining the permission based file share that I would

I have gotten 'point-and-print' working, but there are a couple small issues/questions I am trying to get my grasp around: - rpcclient print-1201 -U root%secret -c 'enumdrivers' this lists the drivers twice (I saw one other post about this, without any followup) - When adding drivers via the Windows APW, after uploading the drivers and the APW closing - are you supposed to

we are running an older version of RH (7.3) - and I am getting concerned that I may need to migrate off of it - but I dont know what I should move to. Trying to formulate ideas before it becomes a 'got to do it now' scenario. I have some reservations about fedora - I just dont know how stable it is for a production server (our services are mainly samba/ldap/ntp/ssh/rsync/clamav) - we

If anyone has time to look at this problem I would appreciate it. I think I am looking for a way to increase the "timeout" in samba (in the smb.conf file) for reporting a "down" link or "can't read xyz file". However I am writing to you folks because this problem has come up while using rsync my problem ========== We have a wan in which links from a

I am trying to get some printer shares to be anonymous access. I have set guest ok = yes but from the log file, it looks like if a username is passed, and a failed lookup, it wont just default to annonymous. Is there another setting or configuration that I need to add to get it to work? LOG FILE: [2003/05/12 16:13:52, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:pdb_getsampwnam(939) LDAP search

Hi, Yes it's possible to authenticate users from win 2000 server with winbind. For me the PAM configuration was the hardest part. I used mandrake 9 and it has a realy good pre config. And if you want to modify the folder/file permissions from NT/W2k PDC then don't use ReiserFS as the filesystem. Use either EXT3 or XFS. Mayby the ReiserFS 4 will have the ACL support. I have had

Hi, I've been looking for this information, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I have a samba (2.2.3) on debian (woody) and I mean to configure this server with winbind so it can authenticate domain users. The PDC is at a NT server. My question is is very simple ... what are the *exact* privileges I need to give the user I use to join the domain? Winbind docs says use

Linux RH 7.3, Samba 2.2.7a NT 4.0 SP6 - Backup Exec 8.5 The linux box is running the Backup Exec client for Unix ('http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/192093.htm') Occasionally, when doing a backup the entire linux system freezes. I have to do a hard reboot without a shutdown, etc. There is 40 plus gigs on the backup, so I dont think a tar and copy would be bery efficient. I am

using samba and ldap - redhat 7.3 trying to work on a short cgi to update samba password (it is a url with attributes username and password). I am not very good at all with perl, so if someone can take a quick ponder and help me out, that would be great. I think that it fails in theory however, because to change other users password, you need to be root ... So I was wondering if anyone knows
