Hi, I have set up a CUPS queue in the samba server with specific lpoptions (actually, it's a queue to print 2-up on an HP LaserJet4300 printer. I used lpoptions -d NX2-118 -o number-up=2). Everything works as expected when I print from the Unix side. However, when I print to the corresponding samba queue, the options specified through lpoptions are ignored (i.e. the prints come out as 1-up

Hi, I recently installed Samba 3.0.11 on Suse 9.2 and have managed to get a simple domain working (people can logon, share printers etc), however, I'm having trouble setting up trusts between the new samba domain and the old NT domain.

Hi there, I'm trying to import a smbpasswd-file into a Samba 3.0 installation on Debian Sarge using tdbsam as sole passdb backend. Copying pdbedit's documentation I used pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/root/smbpasswd.old The error message returned was tdb_update_sam: Failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [foo] without a primary group RID where foo is the username to be imported. This message was

Hi! Our Samba file server seems to have a memory leakage. We are using samba as file server out of the box (debian sarge) on kernel 2.6.16.31. After a while users who have some shares and files open are acquiring more and more memory until the smbd dies. Here is a small shortcut from top: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 13843 gxxxxx 16 0 51792 44m 2552 S

All; I'm getting closer to tracking down my problem (I hope). Since I want samba to verify the windows users from the Windows domain, I did the usual net join. But it still doesn't get the users from there, I still need an smbpasswd file. So... now the question (for the real samba gurus): Is there a substantial difference between: net ads join -w <domain/workgroup> and net rpc

Oh Wise Ones, For the past two days, I have contested with the Samba documentation and other sources of lore in a vain attempt to achieve Samba/LDAP integration. My test system is running RedHat 9 with updates applied, along with OpenLDAP & OpenSSL from redhat-rawhide, and the Samba 3.0.1pre1 RPM from the Samba website. A couple of questions: The HOWTOs instruct one to slapadd a file

Hi Samba people I saw this as a problem in the archives about a month ago but no solution ? I'm running samba 2.2.10 on Solaris 8. We have a script to replace /usr/bin/passwd which changes the NIS passwd and then uses smbpasswd to change the user's smb password to the same thing. Some users are getting : NIS password changed for diane on cauchy machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password
