Hi there.. during an installation of Samba (don't recall the version, maybe 2.2.6) on RH 7.2 recently it automatically created the smb.conf file and this contained basic [global] and [homes] shares. I've just installed the latest Samba 2.2.7 and it does not create smb.conf (it says in the instructions that it won't so I'm not surprised) but... the [homes] entry in the smb.conf

Should I be required to add the machine to my passwd file even if I am using LDAP when joining a W2K domain domain? The only way I can get a machine to join my Samba PDC is via the following commands. # /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "asa" -s /bin/false asa$ # smbpasswd -a -m asa I thought that using ldapsam would lookup all machine information from LDAP without having to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I'm on the way to implement samba with ldap on five servers (each owns a different nt-domain) and a master server which maintains the central user database which gets replicated to all the other servers. Now I have just one more problem, namely homedirs. I want every user to have a homedir to store for example his profile. This has to

Hi, This is a slight repetition but I have discovered more.... I have the latest beta of Samba 3.0. I want to use the MySql password authentication (mainly because I don't know and don't have time to learn LDAP). However, beyond the examples I can find no other code relating to mysql in the source tree. mysql.so in particular is not there. Is it included in the source? If not

Hi, I'm a newbie at samba (I just configured the samba server on my Linux box).

I am attempting to integrate a Linux Samba Server with an NT 4.0 PDC. Ideally I am looking to authenticate the users on the PDC, and then permit access to the Samba Shares on the Linux Box. I have several issues, but the one which is presenting itself currently is when I attempt to Browse the PDC using smbclient. I get the following: smbclient -L dumbo added interface ip=192.168.0.11

Hi! As a Samba newbie I have a big problem getting my Win2000 Server PDC users to authenticate to CVS/SSH on my samba 2.2.3a-12.3 debian woody machine. The linux server is member of the Windows Domain, and users can login via the network neighbourhood and their domain passwords (style: DOMAIN\user). wbinfo -u gives me all the known Domain users, so I think winbind is working correctly...

I am new to CUPS, after working for 4 days to get printing from WinNT to Mandrake 9.0, I give up. Here is the problem: the /etc/samba/smb.conf is setup with [printers] and [print$].
