I fill in all the nesesery data in but I get msg. : "The Domain name "BLABLA" is either invalid or does not exist." I am new new in linux but I realy don't think this is samba configuration problem.

Hi guys, (sorry for my typos, i'm dutch :-) ) First I would like to congratulate you all for a job wel done, the samba 3.0 looks and works great. I have got a question neverteless, I want to use the user manager for winnt for my users and group admin. but i also want to stay off the linux accounts since i don't want everyone to be able to login to various programs i am using the

Hi all, Yesterday, i changed from samba 2.2.3 to samba 3.0, and also i changed the machines which samba is running on. Samba worked and should work as a PDC. It runs on a Debian sid, the test client is a notebook with XP Professional. Yesterday, immediately after migrating, everything worked fine. Even after several reboots, i could logon as a domain user, and i could use the shares. Today, i

Hi @ll, can someone enlight me , i could log in the domain and profiles are created well on samba, but after second login, win client says i cannot copy //linux/Profiles/testuser to c:\Dokument ... so its starts with local copy after login i am able to browse the Profiles share on samba but if i wanna open a files the client makes a explorer failure , it seems to me that this is a permission

On a recommendation from this list I checked the junklog file, the output from which I attached below. It looks as if it does not even see the linux machine as it indicates not seeing "explorer" which is the local netbios name. The Win XP machine does not even show in the log. Here is the last entry for nmbd.log: ***** [2003/11/21 06:24:58, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:terminate(54) Got SIGTERM:

Hi, I am wondering How to aply System policy with win2000. Pls. Be specific en don't send met to read HOWTO on samba.org cos I have done that and all I found was some staf foe winNT. Any kind of info would be goud. Tnx, Admir

How do you get to the GLOBALS/Advanced list? The radio buttons don't seem to do anything, and nothing I tried refreshes the page with Advanced instead of Basic.

I am looking to setup a domain server. I have tried and tried and this is the closest I have gotten so far. The main problem I have is in the user authentication. I am getting an error that the user or password is wrong. Currently it looks like Samba can not access the passwd file. What is this file? My log for the client give this error: [2003/06/05 15:35:35, 0]

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

All - I'm having a problem with the "valid users" directive working. I have an Accounting share that only the Accounting department should have access to. However, I am unable to lock the directory down so only they can access it. I am running samba-3.0.0-2 from an RPM on RedHat 9.0. Below are details of my trials. This is a pretty urgent need, please. Thank you! smb.conf

Hi, I have a client with 2 Win98 out of 15 computers that refuse to see the server when they first turn them on in the morning. When they logon as a new user, not a reboot, it connects and they work fine for the rest of the day. They can even reboot whenever they want throughout the day and it works, but when they turn it off over night, the computers refuse to see the domain the next morning.

I'm using samba version 2.2.1a on a linux RH7.2 kernel 2.4.7-10. I'm having a lot of oplock problems, specially when using office applications like word. I would like to know: 1. what is the recommended configuration in version 2.2.1a (oplocks = yes/no , level2 oplocks = yes/no , kernel oplocks = yes/no) 2. what is considered to be a stable version for oplocks usage Thanks, Nir

I have been searching for info on this and haven't found an authoritative answer. From what I have read, oplocks are good because they increase connection speeds, but they are bad because they don't really work, but they actually do work, but they only work in some cases, etc etc. so, here's my problem and my question together: I get tons of these messages every day (over a thousand a

OK, I've tried to "read the fine material" and have read more than one reference and more than a few months worth of threads in the archives, but I am still stumped with this issue. When using logging on with Win9x, there is a profile error #4, and it complains that it was not able to open or create a file in the \\regmain\[username]\.profile\Cookies folder on login and sign out.

All, I currently have a problem where the default user profile is not being picked up - Windows simply ingores it and creates one based on local settings. I understand samba supports default user profiles, and one can be put into the profiles share like this: /export/profiles/Default User/ This directory contains a copy of a working profile from a proper user. The relevant smb.conf sections

I would like to know if like the [homes] section mapped to a single user at login time (H: drive) would have any of the problems discussed in previous emails. Specifically the oplock break issue. Since one and only one user can have this space mapped in our implementation (because of credential conflicts that windows does not allow), how could a user have a detrimental experience with oplocks?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have win2k pro SP2 client trying to save/retrieve roaming profile from samba 2.2.3a PDC. I followed the SP2 suggestion by throwing "nt acl support = no" to the profiles share, it didn't help. I tried to look for some other solutions on the newsgroup, no luck so far. Here is the scnario: 1. If a new user (not being loged on

Is there any work going on for Samba 2.0.6 in the way of making passwords expire ? Or does anyone know how to do it ? Thanks. Alan.

Hello! I need help (but who doesn's huh? :-) ) I meant to run one program - Money2000 (no, it is _not_ program from Microsoft) together with samba on linux, but i have problems with oplocks. This program is installed locally on win9x/NT and shares its databases. We tried to place databases on novell, on NT server and on win95 acting as server and everything worked fine. But when we tried
