similar to: Power Users - Is it possible?

Hello, At one time I installed an alpha of samba-3.0 and it had a smbgroupedit command that mapped unix and windows groups via webmin. This seems to be missing in beta3, has it been depreciated? Also I can't seem to get the group map to take effect unless the unix group is the users primary group. Either that or I don't understand something. I do not have winbindd running or any idmap

I'm seeing this error in my log file under samba-3.0beta3. "The conflicting domain portions are not supported for NETLOGON calls." I have created a unix/samba user testuser and a unix group pwruser. The testuser's primary group is pwruser. Next I mapped the ntgroup to pwruser with: "net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users" unixgroup=pwruser" and net

When trying to browser users or groups on the server I see these messages in the log file.

I have installed Samba 2.2.1.a. From windows it works allright. From Linux I can browse with smb://server. But I do not have write permissions. When I open a console and in this console enter the command smbclient //server/folder I do have write permissions. Someone told me to mount samba with mount -t smb -o username=***,pasword=*** \\192.168.0.1\folder /destination, but when I do this I get

Hi all, I have a machine joined to AD as a member server and have home drives and roaming profiles redirected in AD to the local samba member server. Users that login are authenticated via winbind and AD. I'm wondering if it is possible to have local users on the Samba system in tdbsam or ldapsam. I did try but no luck so far. Has anyone done this? -- George Farris farrisg@mala.bc.ca

I have the current situation and am trying to figure out which way is the best approach. Our organization has two domains, REMOTE and LOCAL REMOTE - remotely located Active Directory, Windows 2003 LOCAL - local Samba 3.0.x, Linux server I have computer labs and students that would like to login to REMOTE and also local accounts that need LOCAL. There is no way to have a WinXP station

Hello, I saw this posting by Christopher Robert Woods. I am having the identical problem with Samba on Suse Linux 7.2 (OS/390).

Hi. I'm having some trouble when trying to join a SAMBA machine, acting as a member server, to a NT-style domain server managed by a SAMBA PDC using an LDAP back-end. Both machines are running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.1 Update 3 for AMD64. When trying to add the member server to the domain, it fails with an error message. However, if I try to add it again, the

Hello everyone! I've been testing the 3.0 beta 3 (I've just upgraded from 2.2.7), and made a PDC configuration with Windows XP Pro clients. Everything works fine, however, I'm fine tuning the NT and Unix group mapping; in particular, I want to map the Unix group 'users' to the NT group 'Power Users'. I've tried: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users"

I have a Samba 3.0.3 system setup with LDAP. I can set the "min password length" in smb.conf and the system will respect that but when changing the password from win2k and giving it a smaller password than set it always display "password must be a minimum of 5 characters" It will display this even if "min password length" is set to 7. You won't actually be able

Hi group, I have a Linux server running 2.0.5a and setup as workgroup ADMIN. It's set to do domain logins, local, preferred and domain master are on and security is set to user level. We have the local workgroup ADMIN here on x.x.3.x subnet and on x.x.4.x there is an NT PDC that controls the MSHIP domain. The local 98 users login to ADMIN and can browse the servers across the subnet in

Hi, I was able to join samba to the domain successfully (net rpc testjoin command says ok) but could not see it in network neighborhood. I can't map to it as well. The machine is sitting on a different subnet and behind the firewall. What port should I open to make samba accessible to all Windows XP client sitting on different subnets and not behind the firewall. I want to make samba

Hi! With Samba 3.0 beta 2, I could use "idmap" Windows-to-Unix mappings. I could run "pdbedit -a <user>" to add a Windows account and Samba would automatically acquire a UID using OpenLDAP as the backend. However, with the same configuration file, Samba 3.0 beta 3 simply doesn't query the OpenLDAP directory about "sambaUnixIdPool" object class, and limits

Hi, I've been Googling around trying to found why I can't make SAMBA (concretely smbpasswd and pdbedit) make good use of the information held in the file /etc/samba/smbusers. I have done a clean install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.1 Update 3 (both x86_64 and IA32) and Fedora Core 5. In all cases, running the following command fails: # smbpasswd -a Administrator New SMB password:

I used to mount following share using samba client on RHEL 3.0 without any problems. Then I installed ES4.0 and I started seeing problems with these samba shares. I have following line in fstab to mount the share : //bizgroup/wli1 /wli1 smbfs uid=501,gid=501,credentials=/etc/samba/.smbpassword 0 0 and /etc/samba/.smbpassword contains following username=xxxxxxx

Hi! Well, I have a Linux machine (RedHat 9.0) with samba on it and a Win ME on the other machine and I want to share a partition for music, read-only. (Won't be hard, is mounted read-only) and a transfer share where I can write to, too. My config file looks as follwing: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) # Date: 2003/08/04 23:05:42 # Global parameters

Hi all, If I have a Samba server that is say a PDC for domain DOM-A can I have Samba join an ADS server that is DOM-B and have people authenticate against it without having an account on DOM-A? Does winbind provide this? -- George Farris farrisg@mala.bc.ca Malaspina University-College

Here is the situation: I have a local Samba server with a domain called DOMA. I have win98 and win2k users that authenticate to DOMA and use the server as a file and print service. Now, there is also a remote Win2K server that is known as DOMB and users also have resources on that system they require access to. Can I join the Samba DOMA to the win2K DOMB domain and share resources between them
