Morning list, I asked yesterday if anyone has had an error message stating the "cannot open swat, directory is empty"? All packages are showing installed. Can some please respond?

hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

Can anyone peruse my attached host.conf file and determine what missing statement this error is referring to? Here is the command that generated this error: [root@cofr3 s390]# /usr/sbin/rndc reload /etc/host.conf: line 11: expected service, found `wins, dns, files' rndc: reload command successful Thank you in advance for your time. -------------- next part -------------- # # /etc/host.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.

Hello ! I have a database server running in a RH9 machine with two networks interfaces, but the second interface (10.0.1.1) does only clustering with another server, i have a PDC and WINS Server resident on a Win2000 machine. I had have troubles on find my linux machine in a network neighborhood from a Win machine. So i verified the linux machine registration in WINS server and i could see the

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

Has anyone seen this yet? I am having a problem with the my WINS entry for my Samba server disappearing from the WINS database. After this takes place I am no longer able to access my Samba server so I am forced to restart NMBD and a new entry is placed in the WINS database. Although over time this entry will vanish again and I have to repeat the restart process. I am aware that I can add a

After upgrading rc2 -> rc4 (suse binary packages) line 'valid users = %S' in [homes] section prevents user getting to his homedirectory in logfile smbd says: [2003/09/25 15:07:59, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(384) user 'xxxx' (from session setup) not permitted to access this share (xxxx) Hannu

My goal here is to add my Redhat 9.0 box to the domain and authenticate to the ADS Win2K domain from my Redhat 9.0 box. I have read the user gorup archives,man pages, for smb.conf and winbind, and I have read Head/3.0 documentation, specifically this part is where I started: http://us3.samba.org/samba/devel/docs/html/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#ads-member The docs are sadly not complete....

Hi all, I am having problems running a logon script from a Winxp pro client. It appears that the logon script is not being run at all. Win98 runs the script fine, but none of the Winxp pro clients are currently running it. I am running RedHat 7.1 with Samba version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix. My smb.conf is as follows: [global] netbios name = LOKKI server string = Lokki PDC

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]

I have installed a new version of redhat 9 with samba and winbindd. Uptill configuring winbindd, it was doing all that I was wanting. I then went onto configure and start winbind. I have inserted the options into the global part of the samba config when I do a wbinfo -u I get 0xc0000022 but when do a wbinfo -t fot the secret, I get the secret is good. Any help with this would be muchly

Hi Everyone there! We have a very annoying problem since several months when browsing the local network (workgroup) from win xp clients (from win98 clients it's almost OK). The machines in the workgroup appearing very slooow (about 15-20 sec), and this value doesn't change even in the 2nd or 3rd browse. We have 1 linux (debian 2.4.21 pre 3) pc, running the samba (2.2312) server, about 15

Hi all!! I'd set up my samba 2.2.7 to auth with "security=domain" mode, but my clients cannot auth successfully never because the samba server cannot "talk" correctly with my PDC(w2k adv. Server). In the computer manager event, I see authentication request but with empty usernames......so the PDC reject the authentication request. Is this a know

I've seen this posting before but I need to get a grasp on this. I am using winbindd for users that don't have a local account on a Linux box. I thought that placing the entries below in the smb.conf would create users in ou=Idmap. Instead the ou=Idmap increments the uidNumber with every user that is added,but the user ID mappings are stored in /usr/local/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb. What

OK, I have been banging my head into the wall on this now for two or more weeks We have a samba server (2.2.8 then 2.2.8a) running on top of a 320 GB raid ATA-raid array with a FastTrack controller. Both the server and workstations are running through Gigabit NIC's. Every five or so minutes the workstations loose communications with the server, Then it takes 10-15 seconds for the

Hi, I'm using samba-2.2.7-2 in RH 8.0. I'm receiving, lot off e-mails(Logwatch), with the error message: [2003/01/28 08:23:15, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(509) : 1 Time(s) I configured smb.conf to Wins Server, with global options: security = share os level = 255 preferred master = Yes lm announce = yes

Just as the subject states, how close and accurate can time synchronization be with Samba as a PDC and Windows Clients connecting to the PDC with net time? I have setup a logon script, so when all Win2k clients connect to the PDC, they will receive the logon script and use the PDC as their time server. What I have noticed in my testing is that it is not entirely 100% accurate? For example, I

I'm running into a problem when compiling Samba 2.2.8a with SSL support on Solaris 7. The build appears to be choking on redefinitions between the Openssl des.h and kerberos/des.h (which is grabbed because it is on the system). Here's the error I'm getting: In file included from /usr/local/include/openssl/evp.h:89, from /usr/local/include/openssl/x509.h:67,

We have a WAN with subnets and our remote SAMBA Hosts vanish after about a month from the WINS server. We have mixed SAMBA versions from 2.0.7 to 2.2.1a. NT (wins) 10.1.1.1 SAMBA 1 10.1.1.2 | | | SAMBA 2 10.2.2.2 All SAMBA hosts are set up to use the NT WINS server and after a SAMBA start they are there. But they 'fade away' in time. Is there a setting I am missing? Or do I
