similar to: timeout problems with 2.2.8a

Hi, We are using a samba server as a NTLM authenticator for our web filter. However, Samba closes the SMB connections after 60 seconds of inactivity, causing connections from the web filter to the Samba DC to get stuck in CLOSE_WAIT state, and failing to authenticate the users. Is the some way, other than changing IDLE_CLOSED_TIMEOUT, or (in Samba 3.0.23) commenting the check that closes the TCP

I think this is acceptable - I get the same output for this command in a Samba session on a Win2000 domain and it works fine. $ wbinfo -a DOM+W2kusername%password plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication failed Could not authenticate user DOM+W2kusername%password with challenge/response I think you are 99% setup. I followed this posting initially to

Hi; We've recently upgraded from Samba 1.7 to Samba 2.2.8 and we're using Samba to allow our users to connect to their Unix home directories from their PC's. Under 1.7 users were able to connect by mapping a drive from windows explorer and entering their unix username and password. Now, when we do this we get a "Incorrect password or Unknown username" error message.

So... I upgraded via RPMs (actually, I uninstalled 2.2.7, and then installed 2.2.8 because of the dependencies... Is there a better method to upgrading?) this past weekend. Monday, end of the day, the entire machine crashed. No unusual circumstances, it sits there acting as a PDC on a Mandrake 7.2 Pentium 200 with 40MB of ram with not much else going on. Suddenly the whole machine locks up,

Samba Folks, I have a major problem with Samba 2.2.8 randomly dropping network connections on our Solaris 2.8 SUN systems and could use some help. On a random basis Samba will drop network connections and not allow them to re-established until the PC system is rebooted. Thank you in advance for any help. The disconnect error is typically a broken pipe error: 2003/02/21 09:42:03, 0]

Hi, I've been trying to setup a "user" only access samba server for my customers to publish their websites through instead of ftp. We provide for many different networks that are in many domains that we don't own, so it seems the "user" security model is the only thing that would work for us. However, I've tried many different combinations of restrictions but I

Hi all, using samba 2.2.5; security=server connecting as user1 (user logged in on PC) works (12:28:55), disconnecting and connecting as another user2 (not the user logged in on PC) works too (12:30:22), but disconnecting and connecting again as user1 (user logged in on PC) fails (12:34:29) as well as user2 (12:38:19). It seems it works only once and never again after one time logged in as user2 ?

Sorry if this is more a Debian question than a Samba one. Are the Debian binary packages for Samba 3.0 on the Samba site compiled with active directory and kerberos support? Is there a general way to tell what options were used when compiling Debian packages? Gary Vetter ND Retirement and Investment Office 701 328-9879

it just says /usr/sbin/swat.new Aborted when i run it from the command line. nothing i can see in the logs... The swat binary from a 2 week old head now (with the rest of the installation from today's head) seems to work okay. what's going on with swat - did i screw up the build? Are others also having problems? (nothing in the marc) brad

I have read over the lists and search the web, I know this question has been asked before, but I've not been able to fix my problem so I'll ask here. I have been successful in joining the XP machine to the domain however it when I try to login to the domain windows instantly kicks up the message: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domaincontroller is down or

After trying to get WinXP (Pro) to try and find my domain so I can log on I've finally done it, but now when I try and join my WinXP client to the domain, windows asks me to enter the username and password of an account with permission to join the domain. Now which account would this be?? root doesn't work, neither do my other samba users. Do I have to create another user or something?

Hi everyone! I've already deployed samba-2.2.7a-2 and enabled openLDAP support. I now have a machine configured as a domain controller authenticating all windows users via openLDAP. openLDAP is also authenticating all of our linux users. I would like to install Exchange2000 on a windows2000 machine so our windows users can do calendaring (sendmail already handles all of our email needs).

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this one. I am having trouble getting LDAP and samba working properly on my Debian Woody box. I am using OpenLDAP 2.0.27-3 and the unsable packaged Samba version 2.999+3.0 and am using the samba.schema for my LDAP database. Whenever I try to join the network using either W2K or smbclient the LDAP debug log shows that the following filter is being

Hi y'all, I have a little problem with Samba which I hope you can help me with. We are running Samba 2.0.4 on a Sun Enterprise 4500 with Solaris 7. Clients are mostly Win 9x and a few NT workstations (and one NT Terminal Server). I have security = server (password server is the NT Terminal Server). What happens is occasionally Samba will not let a certain user connect, saying the password

I have been running RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.3 for the past week or so. My network is made up of NT servers and 95/98 clients. So far Samba has been running beautifully - I can use my Samba shares just like they are NT shares. My only problem is from time to time my Win98 machine "goes to sleep" and asks me for either a password or an IPC$ password. Generally this happens after a

I've seen error messages about this since we installed 1.9.18p10 of samba, so I went looking in the code for the context. Here (from password.c) is the context: /* * Attempt a session setup with a totally incorrect password. * If this succeeds with the guest bit *NOT* set then the password * server is broken and is not correctly setting the guest bit. We

Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

Hi I have Win2k servers connecting to the samba server by mapping a windows user to unix user. We never had any problems with thsi connectivity but for past 2 weeks we have an erratic problem which causes the windows account to lock thus making samba unfunctional. When I get the windows account unlocked then samba starts functioning properly again. I do not have a scenario to reproduce the

I am running Samba 3.0 HEAD with LDAP 2.0. I have ldapsam enabled buy when I try to log into my server from a W2K machine I get the following in my error log: sam_password_ok: NO NT password stored for user root. The log file shows that Samba successfully retrieved the root posixAccount record and the log displays some of the data (i.e. home directory) that is stored for root in LDAP. The

Hi- I'musing the smbldap tools to create ldap entries for user logins through samba. I was just wondering if anyone knew what format userPassword is stored in. Is it an md5 hash?
