similar to: Setting up shares with multiple directories

Hello again everyone. :) Well, i've finally fixed a number of problems that I was having with my samba/LDAP PDC. Now, its just a matter of setting up some of our users software so they can access the data on the server. I will try and explain this issue as best as I can without being to wordy. :) We use a program called point. Point holds files in multiple directories on the network

I know i've asked this before, but I was unable to get a clear response on how this works exactly. As I said before: The Administrator account on Windows machine is there by default. My question is, can I add a Administrator account to samba and make sure they are part of the Domain Admins group to ensure that I can still use the administrator account to do certain functions on my clients

Hello everyone. Well, i've tried to figure this out on my own by asking questions and reading the how-to provided by John. I've followed the directions accordingly, but there are a few catches i've noticed that seem to be throwing me a curve or to. Let me recap. Basically, i've setup our samba PDC with LDAP. I originally was going to use roaming profiles, but decided against

Morning everyone. I have a question about something i've been thinking about lately. I recently rolled out a samba server running 2.2.8a with OpenLDAP 2.0.27 on the backend to hold the user account info. My question is, how many people out there are running samba as their PDC and have implemented a BDC as well? I'm starting to consider about putting up a BDC for safeties sake. Does

Evening everyone. I am going to be changing our current Samba PDC running Red Hat, to a FreeBSD server. I was curious if anyone out there, who is currently using FreeBSD as a PDC could give me their feedback on how it is working. Also, if they had any suggestions or recommendations regarding Samba on FreeBSD. Maybe even what they like and dislike about it. I would imagine, it should be the

Hello everyone. Well, I have been working very hard lately, trying to get a server up to act as our Samba PDC with LDAP. So far, everything seems to be working well. I've been able to get samba 2.2.8 and openldap 2.0.27 installed with no problems. I've setup my config files (ldap.conf, slapd.conf, smb.conf) as well as added some initial entries to the LDAP directory. I've been

Morning everyone. I was playing around today with our PDC setup. One thing I noticed is that when I setup users to have their 'My Documents' directory be /home/<user> everything works well. One thing I noticed is that the directory, subdirectories and files have the owner of the user and the group as per assigned, and permissions as 700. If I wanted to set it up so a specific

how do I create the separate log files of smb.log and nmb.log Just want a log of users who have accessed their accounts. Thanks in advance

Just as the subject states, how close and accurate can time synchronization be with Samba as a PDC and Windows Clients connecting to the PDC with net time? I have setup a logon script, so when all Win2k clients connect to the PDC, they will receive the logon script and use the PDC as their time server. What I have noticed in my testing is that it is not entirely 100% accurate? For example, I

Good morning everyone. I wanted to ask the people on this list who are currently using roaming profiles with samba 3 how it is working? I worked a little with roaming profiles with 2.2.8a, but it was not working as well as I wanted it to and im hoping that samba 3 roaming profiles are working pretty well. Our network here is really calling for roaming profiles to be a major option here. Our

hi all, Here is the situation. We are currently upgrading our infrastructure to use LDAP as our authentication mechanism and I intend to also have Samba look at LDAP. I had this working in a test case using 2.2 as a PDC awhile ago. Should I be using 3.0 or 2.2 for this implementation? I realize that 3.0 is still quite alpha-quailty, but I've also read one or two interview with the

Hi All, when i did testing with group mapping, i mapped a Unix Group(domadm) with Windows Domain Group(domain users). then i access a samba share from Windows Domain User(administrator), and create a file. but the file's group is still Windows Domain Group(domain user), not Unix Group(domadm). is it right? if it is, how should i check if my group mapping is working well? thanks a lot in

Hi, Before Samba 3.0.0 RC4 I was running Samba 3.0.0 beta3, and when I upgraded to RC4, I began having problems with group mappings. I didn't notice at first, because on my laptop I don't normally log on to the domain. I just noticed when I tried to use my desktop and log on to the domain... I don't have Domain Admin privileges. So, I look at 'net groupmap list' ... and it

Hi I got a problem with groupmapping. It doesn't work correct: Wilma2:/home/root # net groupmap list | grep 512 Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-3371203057-3264423045-2392767973-512) -> domadm ldapsearch -x cn=domadm: # domadm, groups, wms-hn.de dn: cn=domadm,ou=groups,dc=my-domain objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: sambaGroupMapping cn: domadm gidNumber: 65669 memberUid: tilo sambaSID:

Although I will be updating this server to Samba 3.x soon, I have to come up with a quick solution as soon as possible for the following problem: I have a WinXP user which currently is registered as a "User" of WinXP but must be changed to "Domain Admin" in order for some new software which he must use to be operable. Of course giving him the root passwd is definately out of

I'm working with Samba 3 on my Gentoo box. So far setting up andconfiguring Samba w/ldap and krb5 support is pretty straight forwared. My Gentoo box is now a member server of the domain, shows up in Active Directory. I can get a kerbereos ticket from our W2K PDC and connect to windows shares with as little effort as: smbclient //server/share -k Now I'm ready to start moving into

Hello all, I am having a some problems with groups. If I use this command "net rpc group list -Uroot%not24get" as the root users I get an error. "Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 The username or password was not correct" If I try to add groups I also get the same error. and I don't know if this is relevent or not but when I try to join win groups and Unix groups

I have a new Debian testing machine running the Debian Samba 3.0.5. Everything seems OK except that I cannot get users to have domain admin rights. I have Windows XP workstations. The workstations join and log onto the domain fine. A "net groupmap list" yields: server:/home/tnolen# net groupmap list System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests

Hello all, Let me say first I'm very new to Linux (only had it running 3 days), so bear with me if I'm a bit ignorant. I'm unsure if I should even post this here, or if this list is exclusively for hardware issues... I'm running into difficulties (on a win2k client) adding the Samba "Domain Admins" group to the Windows "Administrators" group. I am able to log
