Hello, I'm sorry to post High availability oriented questions to this list, but I was wondering about some samba configuration parameters and what options are available. I am using heartbeat, and to make a long story short, i have a floating IP alias between 2 servers. (192.168.1.1 for example). When one server is serving the data, it 'has' this ip. if the server fails over, the

Hello fellow samba users, Our company uses samba for all fileshares/printing/PDC on two SUN E3500's. We like to replace these with about 10 Linux 19" XEON (pizza)boxes. The question: Are there any implementation out there using a loadbalancing cluster doing samba? A simple diagram of the setup I have in mind: Users (+/- 500) ||| Headnode(Director 1) - Headnode (Director 2) | Worknode -

Hello, I am in the process of trying to get a large network (300+ systems) spanning 3 subnets to be able to display all windows machines in the Network Neighborhood. After reading through copious amounts of documentation, using Samba as a domain controller and then having systems on each subnet seemed to be the best approach. I set one of the machines to be the domain controller for what was my

Hello, I have a question that I was wondering if someone could help me with. I am an admin at RIT and we have a large network base of Sun machines. We do authentication via NIS over NFS. We are about to receive a full lab of Windows boxes and need to set up a samba server to serve users' home directories to the Windows boxes. This initial configuration is relatively easy, but we want

Hello, I'm Nicol?s from Uruguay, I work in ASSE (public health services), the enterprise has lots of buildings all over my country, more than 100, with thousands of employees and PCs. Until now there is no "network configuration" in PCs (no network users, etc) and I'm trying to solve that out. I started working with samba about one year ago (I've been learning a lot), I

I'm wondering if it's possible to get samba to auth against LDAP without saving multiple hashes in the directory? I'd like to keep it to the hash that we use to auth unix-systems today, without cluttering the directory with other hashes that need to be synchronized etc. -- Odd Rune

Hi, I have some strange problems with 3.0a21 PDC (samba and nss use both ldap) and I can't find any good help with google... One strange thing is that logon script does'nt work anymore, it worked at one point and now doesnt (I quite play around here and I dont know in which point of changing smb.conf it stopped to work). [netlogon] share is like that: [netlogon] comment = Network

newbie question, but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I would like to set up a primary samba file server and a backup samba file server. if the primary file server fails i would like the backup server to take over as the main file server as automaticly as possible. was looking at rsync to backup primary server share files to the backup server, i think that might be part of the answer

Hi, I''m trying to enable ssh (when that works, want to add:pop3s,smtp,web) from the internet to the firewall but it does not work. I managed to DNAT ftp to a host in the loc network (192.168.0.50) successful but I don''t know why SSH: Does not work for me: ACCEPT net fw tcp 22 Works from the loc network: ACCEPT loc fw tcp 22 I have tried also with (no success): AllowSSH

Hi, during I make a some du command (du -sh), samba has been disturb and sent a panic action : Last line of smbd.log : [2008/07/30 15:36:09, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(709) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (16 - 15) in safe_strcpy [10.217.7.3/255.255.252.0] [2008/07/30 16:04:43, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(709) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (16 - 15) in safe_strcpy

Hello, I'm using samba 3.0.2(acl) and kernel 2.4.24+acl, libacl-2.2.23. Following problem: When I create a file in an directory with extended ACLs, samba applies the "create mask" in a wrong way (IMHO). The normal behaviour of tools like chmod is that the second (middle) permission field is mapped to the "mask" ACE if the file has an extended ACL, so that the change

The interesting part is that PAM nor the SMB auth plugin for Apache requires you to be a member of the domain. However, the caveat with pam_smb_auth is that you have to have a unix account for every windows user you want to authenticate. I guess the behavior I'm trying to achieve is the one achieved with the Apache plugin: 1) Doesn't require you to be a member of the domain 2)

Sorry if this is a FAQ but I have tried searching the web and both samba3 books but I can't find the answer. I would like to use a single LDAP server (openldap) to authenticate multiple Samba3 PDCs serving different domains to authenticate Windows XP clients. Ideally I would like an XP client to appear in both domains and the user to get different profiles depending on which domain they

Greetings! I have the following configuration: Two PDCs (Samba 3.0.21b) with Fedora Core 4: PDC1 and PDC2. PDC1 trusts PDC2, respectively PDC2 is trusted to PDC1. I join an XP workstation to PDC2. After restart i can see both domains in the login screen domain combo box. I can logon to PDC2 , but not to PDC1, since the

James: I use Winnind to authenticate users from the Windows PDC - I have no UNIX users. Have you looked at this? I've got an informal HOWTO if you'd like it. Thanks, Kevin L.

James: (Again someone correct me if I'm wrong) PAM allows local access to the Samba machine as well as authenticating Samba users. Winbind *only* allows for Samba access. This is why I chose *not* to use PAM in my setup. I don't want normal users to have local logon access to *MY* servers. <evil grin> With Winbind, you don't need PAM at all. If you're planning on

With a single server, settings "security = server" and "password server = pdc1 pdc2', I can successfully authenticate against two entirely different PDCs depending on which order I put the two machines in the 'password server' list. Is there someway of forcing clients from either domain to authenticate against the 'right' pdc, regardless of the order in the

Hi @ll, as i had setup a vpn ( openvpn ) and have wins browse working nice between the 2 subnets i wanted to setup a interdomain trust.
