Hi I am trying to setup a Domain controller on my home network for testing and I am running into a bit of a problem. Everytime I try to authenticate to the domain I get refused. I have completely read the domain controller how-to that is supplied with Samba 2.28. I follow all of the directions and still nothing. When I attempt to authenticate though it tells me that I don't have the right

Hi ! I use Samba with OpenLDAP. The Samba users information are keept in LDAP. I'd like to keep the login scripts in LDAP. Something knows how can I do this ? And how Samba would read the login scripts in LDAP and not in netlogon directory ? Thanks, Bruno Stella PS: Sorry by my English :-)

Using winbind for authentication through PDC. Problem: Some users do not get access to the samba share and some do. When I do "wbinfo -u" the users who cannot access show up but when I do "getent passwd", they are not there.

Hi, We have about 2 dozen Mac OS9 computers running Dave 2.5.3 to access smb resources. Our print server, running Samba 2.2.7 (w/domain authentication), has no user accounts. PCs access the printers and print just fine, but the Macs using Dave get an authentication error of invalid user/password. They can access resources on the win2003 PDC. Any idea what's going on here specific to the

Make sure the XP box's firewall is disabled for the network connection you're using to connect to the samba server (advanced properties of the network connection). ________________________________________________________________________ > From: Francesc Guasch <frankie@etsetb.upc.es> > To: G?mes G?za <geza@kzsdabas.sulinet.hu> > Cc: samba@samba.org > Subject: Re:

I am using SAMBA/Lprng to do printer accounting for charge-back. There are two technical issues I have not been able to resolve. 1. When attempting to connect to the printer from a Windows box in the domain (the SAMBA server is simply a server that's a member of the domain, it is not the PDC) I get the message that the server does not have the appropriate driver and then it pops up a setup

The source code seems to compile fine but when I try to join the NT4 domain I get a broken pipe error and it stops. The command I am using is smbpasswd -j (whatever) -r ( whatever) -U ( whatever). I am using gcc version 2.95 and I think I have all the other libraries needed but not sure. Using the same software on a Solaris 2.7 it works fine. Philip Clark C4I Analyst CSC MARCORSYSCOM

Hi, does Samba use localhost as WINS-Server, if only wins support = yes is set? Regards, Marc Hansen

Hi all I am attempting to install winbind on a Redhat 9 machine with an NT4 PDC. The winbind version is samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0 as a stock RH install. I have followed the install instructions on the man page and I still get the errors shown below. I have searched google for the STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW (0x80000005)error and the plaintext password authentication failed error but nothing I've found

I compiled and installed the latest samba 3.0.0rc1. I see that the binary executable was placed in the default location of /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd. However, I cannot located the default smb.conf file. I was expecting that the 'make install' script would have copied this file somewhere onto my system. Where is the default 'smb.conf' file located?

Is there a way that I can dynamically add a share point to the smb.conf file and not be forced to kill the smbd daemon and restart in order for it to be visible? Or is this such a simple thing I'm blind and can't see it in any FAQ I read? :-) Thanks! Ryan

Greetings, I have just set up samba printing with CUPS as the back end. (Samba 2.2.8a, CUPS 1.1.9) Everything works great, including automatic driver download/Point -n- Print. The problem is that whenever I print through Samba from a Windows 2000 Workstation, a watermark gets added to the print job. The default driver options are set on the server, so that watermarking is "off",

Hi there! * I put my printer drivers on the [print$] share * Did everything as described in the Samba-Howto Colletcion (made the first connection as root, etc.) * Connected to the printers with a normal user and now I cannot change the default print options allthough the user is in the local Administrators group. Everything is grayed out. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thank you. +r

Hi, I have successfully installed and configured Samba 3.0.2 PDC & BDC / ldap master & slave servers in local network. Then I moved BDC to another site (with WAN connectivity). Now I discovered that workstations on this site (with BDC) are not able to join domain. After some investigations (also tcpdump) I found out that problem is that BDC don't reply to NBNS requests for name

Some use Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html) or DoubleTalk (http://www.connectix.com/products/dt.html). However, we use Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) successfully to share the Unix/Samba file system with our Mac clients. Is there any reason you can't use Netatalk?

I recently installed samba-2.2.8a on a RedHatLinux 8.0 machine. The installation went smoothly and I verified that it was done correctly. The problem is I am unable to see the Samba server from either windows 2000 or XP in my local network. I did also modify the smb.conf file slightly, I gave my workroup a name and created a share, and some other modifications. After I modified the file I

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

Hello there! I just started with Mocha (great job, by the way), and want to solve a problem, perhaps you can give me a hint. I have a Observer (yes, in Rails), and want to test, that this observer does (or does not) call a special method on the observed object. In this example, the object has a sync-method, that shall be called before_update. The Observer looks like class BlaObserver <

Hello everyone, Can I ask for some assistance please. Apologies if there is an easy solution to this tail of wow that I haven't been able to find online. We've been having persistent problems with a Scientific Linux release 7.4 machine that is joined to an Active Directory domain. Ever 30 days or so it trust relationship between the server and the domain would fail, apparently because
