similar to: Samba/Windows question: problems loading roaming profiles

This might be simple, but I have been banging my head against google for awhile now and not an answer in sight... Anyway, Samba PDC with roaming profiles. When a user logs out the profile isn't written because it says that "The specified network name is no longer available" Whatever that is supposed to mean. Following is my smb.conf. Please CC me in replies as I am not subbed to the

Hello, I've just been exploring Samba again after some time, and this time I'm setting a Samba PDC with LDAP. Thanks for great tutorial from Samba website, I think I got it working fine :) However, I've been browsing the list too, and am a bit confused with the term: 'homedir' and 'roaming profiles'. Is it different? If I'm not mistaken, homedir is for Win9X

Hi guys, I'm experiencing seemingly random problems using roaming profiles with Samba 3.0.2 on Debian Woody and clients being Win XP Pro and Win2K (all of them running the latest service packs and critical updates and so forth). Sometimes when one of the machines tires to login the server profile can't be found. The error Windows comes up with is "Network name cannot be found."

Gladly and with the help of this list, I have solved my previous problem with Samba as a PDC. My new and improved problem is with the ntusers.ini file. Which seems to be overwritten at each and every login. This creates a problem in that that file lists directories to be excluded and THAT list includes the Local Settings directory. In someone's infinite wisdom, they decided to also keep

Hi, I am running Samba 3.0.1 on a Debian/Sid machine. I have installed winbind to access the AD of the local network, which I want to use for UNIX logons. wbinfo -u shows all the users of the AD, but "getent passwd" only shows the contents of the file /etc/passwd. I have been following the instruction for winbind (Chapter 21) in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. Any comments would be

Background: I've setup my server (name:firewall) to acts as a PDC, and to use roaming profiles. I am using Windows XP with sp1 on the client machines. Problem: When I login to my domain (panacea) I get the following error-message: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log

Hi, I 've got a problem. I have a big dir to share (it contains big files hundred of MB each one) and I want that only twice are downloadable at a time. I want to limit the number of download in fact to 2. I've found the max connections options I tried but It seems to doesn't work as I can download more at least 3 files at time. I also put the lock dir option and that doesn't

I have a problem with a Member Server on Samba 3.0.28a running on Ubuntu Heady. Both systems were recently upgraded using Ubuntu's automated upgrade. It's also possible I broke a working configuration by accident. The shares on the Member server are visible on the XP clients and some users can authenticate properly. At least one user on one XP desktop cannot. The shares are visible

Hi. I have a xen virtualized samba server. Today i was experiment a very strange situation. Practically all the stations are windows XP.

Hello all! We recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.3 to Samba 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 on debian 3.0. Ever since then users are unable to change their own passwords on their W2k machine. What happens is when they try to change it a process (passwd) gets stuck with the users name. The only way to fix this is to kill the passwd process the user started. I haven't changed the "passwd chat"

Hi! I have a samba 2.2.3a-12 on a Linux Debian box (lets call it pdcMachine) with a 2.4.16 kernel acting as a PDC of some domain (lets call it myDomain).

Hello to all: First of all, sorry about my poor english. I am spanish :) I have a debian machine running as a samba file server.

Dear all! Since several days I'm trying to get Samba's unix password sync to work for me, but I still have problems. I'm using the Samba 3.0.22 binaries that come with Ubuntu 6.06 and this is the [global] section of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TEST domain logons = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers syslog = 100 add machine script

I am trying to support our network while the 'IT' guy is on vacation. I have set up samba before, but it has been a few years so I'm very rusty. The problem is a logon failure for a new user. The smb.conf file has workgroup = DELTA server string = File Server security = DOMAIN obey pam restrictions = Yes password server =

what is the 'passwd chat' line for Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian Woody that enables password synchronisation with Windows 2000 clients in a domain? I currently have this in smb.conf but it doesn't work: unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n I get the Windows message

At one site I support, I have just recently put a policy file on their server to try and make some stuff easier to manage. Only problem is Windows is not even trying to load it. I watched the traffic in Wireshark, and there's no request for the ntconfig.pol file at all. And of course nothing from it is being applied. I had read that this can happen if someone has set the policy refresh
