similar to: Moving Samba to a different Linux server.

Please help, I am having a problem with a Samba server I have attempted to move to a new Redhat 9 box (it was on Redhat 9 before). Here's the what I did: 1) I transferred the follwing files & dirs to the fresh RedHat box : /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group /etc/gshadow /etc/samba/* (the whole dir) /var/cache/samba/* (the whole dir) 2) I stopped SMB services on the old box 3)

Hello, I would like to clone a Windows XP workstation that's part of a Samba domain using Norton Ghost. In Ghost you need to create an account in the domain to be able to add your domain to the list of supported domains by the Norton Ghost console. When I try to add such an account, I get this error message: Unable to add DOMAIN to the list of supported domains, The procedure number is

Now that I have winbind working, life is good. However, I've hit upon a real kick in the pants. As you can see from my email address, we have a convention here of usernames being firstname.lastname. So, when I go to change the owner ship of a file: $ chown chris.palmer myfile Linux thinks I mean user chris, group palmer, and says "invalid group" (there is no palmer group,

Hello, We have been using Samba 3.0.7 for almost a month now, and today marks the second time that I see a machine (one out of twelve on our network" that gives this error when I log in: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect."

I'm experimenting with Samba 2.2.7a in my home office-- all is well except only I can open my Word files copied to our Samba share. All other users can only open them "Read-only".

2.2.6 installed from rpm on rh 7.2 system... I'm trying to use pam_winbind and apache's basic authentication to restrict access to certain directories served by apache. It does work, but when I enter a wrong password I get this error in log.winbindd: Plain-text authentication for user jarboed returned NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD Is there a way that pam_winbind.so can encrypt the passwords

I have multiple samba servers. smb1 is my master, smb2 is a slave. My master has this: name resolve order=wins hosts bcast # wins server=127.0.0.1 wins support=yes The Slave has this: name resolve order=wins hosts bcast # wins server=<IP OF Master> wins support=no After 24 hours the Master forgets who the slave is. If I restart the slave he notifies the master who

[Shane Drinkwater] Daniel, I have the same probelm. These are the steps I did in a previous thread... Jim, I think I found another bug... I really seem to be in printer hell :(.... I found that windows 2k doesn't update its status "ready" or "paused" when used with samba. Here is what I did... 1.) enable all of the lpr/lpd queues. check em' with lpq... 2.)

Hello once again, I've got winbind doing authentication not just for the samba service but also sshd and login. It's great. However, I have to give a fully-qualified username (e.g. "GENEEDINC+chris.palmer") as the username when logging in via these methods. I wondered, Is there any way to get winbindd to insert the domain and the separator for the user, when none is provided? I

We are a primarily Linux company with a NIS backend, but we keep a couple "bridge boxes" for Windows users (on a Windows PDC) to connect to their unix accounts and access data. Under Samba 2.2, this was fairly easy with "encrypt passwords = no" turned on. But I can't figure out how to make it work with Samba 3. Does Samba 3 not support a unix passwd backend, or am I

Hi! We use Tapeware to back up a combination of LINUX and MS servers across the network to one of two media servers. One is Windows based and the other is LINUX. Having a little problem with the old tape autoloader on the LINUX box, but the backup/restore from the MS platform works very well.

Samba 2.2.7a (built from samba RPM's) with LPRng print subsystem. I've been having troubles with some print drivers which fail to work properly when uploaded to the samba server whether devmode gets left as null or a default devmode is used. Some drivers do not leave you in a position where you can "tickle" the driver to generate a devmode with page orientation etc before

Nope, close but no cigar. With 2.2.6Pre2 Word started to behave itself but Outlook acts as though landscape is a foreign concept(i.e everything prints portrait regardless of page setup). Spoolsv also crashes on the Win2K workstations requiring a manual restart of the spooler service. We will downgrade to 2.2.5 and try Jerry's patch. In another message Jerry talks about "running"

hi all, just finished upgrading to 2.2.8a and things went well and without any sign of a glitch. I was able to log in from windows to my FreeBSD box as root just like before the upgrade. but then, all of a sudden, the box was no longer available from windows no sign of anything going on with the FreeBSD computer I can putty into it and it seems fine nmbd and smbd show up in top what could

Recently I upgraded a server from samba 3.0.2a to 3.0.6, and now apache won't authenticate properly with pam_winbind. Winbind's been restarted, apache has been restarted, for grins I even rebooted the server. >From /var/log/messages: Aug 26 10:24:51 linps2 pam_winbind[654]: user 'jarboed' granted acces >From apache's error log: [Thu Aug 26 10:24:51 2004] [error] (2)No

Which samba 3 tdb's are safe to have smb regenerate on startup? I know in Samba 2 you can remove everything except winbindd_idmap, share_info, and the nt* tdb's. Is it the same for samba3? Reason I asked is I just had a pretty bad failure on 3.0.1pre3 that started with bad magic errors in connections.tdb, after a few hours grew into sessionid.tdb, and finally winbind problems (though no
