I have been getting spam through the samba list. Is anyone able to post to the list without subscribing? -- Jerry Sloan <jerry@fptech.net> fP Technologies, Inc

Is their a source rpm for the 3.0beta1 rpm? I would like to recompile it for ACL support, but I cannot seem to find one. Any links? Brent Norris Assistant DTC, Edmonson County Schools Cell: 270.246.0152

John, you have done a fantastic job with the docs. I download it every few days. How close is it to release status? (I don't really see any show stoppers but I haven't looked at everything.) Is it supposed to coincide with the actual Samba 3.0 release? If so I'll wait to send it up for printing (as it is HUGE) :) Great Job. Jim Wharton Network Administrator Alachua County Property

I am trying to change some ACLs on some files and directories. I have samba binaries with acl support compiled in. I am using an XFS filesystem. The Mandrake kernel supports acls by default. When I right click on the file in Windows explorer and change the permissions, I get an access denied error. If I use smbcacls, I get the following: [root@luna tmp]# smbcacls //luna/tmp test.txt -U jim -A

If I'm not mistaken, the sign or seal hack from samba2.2.3 is broken. Use the newer hack or manually modify your registry.

running echo %userprofile% from a windows command prompt will tell you exactly where your user profile is located. running set will give you all your environment settings.

Ok, believe it or not, I've looked through all 209 pages of the Samba-HOWTO_Collection.pdf plus used this mail list and other internet sources, used those recommendations, tried almost every possible iteration on the samba.conf file, looked at logs until nauseated and have concluded that there is no way that Windows ME can connect to a Linux box using Samba. Connecting to the WinME box from

I lost my bookmarks to the samba binaries compiled for Mandrake 9.0. I'd like to mess around with the 3.0 stuff. I remember there were 2 ftp sites that stayed pretty current. I'd like to add them to URPMI so I can update easily. Thanks Jim

I just installed samba 2.2.7 on Mandrake 9 with OpenLDAP support. I have set up OpenLDAP and everything is cool. When I try to add a user I get: [root@luna openldap]# smbpasswd -a jim New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Connect error Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Connect error Failed to add entry for user jim. Failed to modify password

Does anybody know more about groups? I am considering switching from NT to Samba domain and have made some test. Unfortunately I need to make two additional groups, except Domain Admin (one of them is Domain Users). Is it possible to make that with the stable version of Samba? And another, but not so important (for now) question. Currently I have a Samba server, providing files and printers

Hi all, I seem to remember that some time ago (after some nasty VBScript virus or other) that there were postings to the list about how a registry change could be rolled out to all the client workstations with Samba. Of course, now I'd like to try it, I can't find the details any more. Can anyone tell me how its done? I thought there was functionality in rpcclient, but can't find

We're in the midst of setting up a Samba 3 system as our PDC. I come from a Samba 2 world, where the passdb backend was smbpasswd. What's the ... er, 'best' passdb backend at this point? To qualify best, there's no limitations on the type of storage used (LDAP, MySQL, XML, etc). I'm just looking for something that's going to make integration with a 2000/XP domain

I'm trying to use Access 2002 on a Samba server.....question, are there special Samba parameters that need to be set so that 3-5 users can enter data? All users have proper access (no pun intended) to the SAMBA server..... thanks jr

Okay, I'm really starting to run out of ideas here. Any help would really be handy. I'm looking after a small network, clients are running win2000 SP3 and a Linux Server running samba, doing domain logins. Everything is working fine apart from two machines (from ten). Probably once a week one of them will fail to login in after a reboot or log off. If any user tries to login into the

Hi, I am considering using the dfs options in samba. The question I have is about file replication. I want to set up dfs between two servers (one dfs share points to two real shares). In particular, I want have a share on one and a replica on the other as a fallback in the even of the first failing. I have done it on windows 2K server before. I am considering using rsync to replicate the files

I have added a machine account to /etc/passwd named luna$ and in smbpasswd named luna. When I attempt to join my Win2K box to the domain, I get this error. The following error occured attempting to join the domain: The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server. I am using openldap if that makes any difference. Jim

I did it all again. The samba workstation account smb_cl is all right. My problem is that after I have joined my samba domain the domain logon does not work. At the logon prompt on my Win XP it says - that no domain controller is available or - that my machine account was not found. My log.smbd says at the same time: [2003/04/11 12:21:59, 0] smbd/password.c:authorise_login(872)

That is correct jim. We will setup a vpn, we also know the ports to open but the real question is if there is any parameter to increase the timeout period when the windows machines decide that there is no "share" at the other end.... Since the remote workers connected to the internet are using slow links, we are having problems with timeouts.... Thanks, -----Original Message-----

I have posted this question twice without any response. We are running samba on an OpenUnix 8 machine, then we are mapping the samba share on a Windows 2000 machine. If we run our process from the Windows command line..(copying files to the share) everything runs great. The problem is if someone telnets to the Windows 2000 machine and runs the same process they get "The specific network

Hello, Am new to this list so pardon if this question has been asked before. I am trying to find a way to access MS "net shares" and be able to execute "net use" without installing MS. I am looking at a floppy-based linux+samba solution. Most of the floppy linux contain apps I don't need or are centered more towards a router. So I now plan to create my own bootable
