Hey all, I hope you all had a pleasent holiday season (okay so I'm a week or so late... I've been in hibernation <g>). Now, does anyone out there know where I can get documentation on running Samba 3 as a PDC using LDAP as a backend - I know I'll get plenty of URLs, so to narrow things down a little, I'm competant with Samba 2.2.x and have no clue about LDAP, yet we're

Hey, I'm sorry if this has been asked before or if a solution is in the archive, this is rather a semi-urgent request. We have a PDC (Samba 2.2.5) mostly with Win98 clients, a few XP clients. We can join these to the domain thanks to the registry patch, however, sometimes (it's random, or appears to be), we login a user who HASN'T previously logged into the XP system before and it

I apologise for the fact that this has nothing to do with Samba, but it does have something to do with *NIX system admin. Can any of you recommend a good POP3 daemon/server? I am currently using Sendmail for SMTP and am wanting a POP3 server to work alongside it. If of course you know of something that I can install to replace sendmail AND give me POP3 then that'd be even better. Target

Hey, I am just wondering how you enforce security (such as permissions) on local workstations while running Samba 2.2.x as a PDC with 2K/XP workstations? As some of us don't have or want 2000 Server to enforce things like policies etc... how do you all do it. E.g. If we want 'Administrator' to have access to all start menu etc... yet standard users to have only programs, no settings

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I read the Samba-PDC LDAP howto for both the HEAD and TNG samba versions. Since it appears the TNG LDAP stuff isn't functional, I wanted to try to setup samba using the older HEAD schema. I have tried several times to to compile the 10/15/99 samba on a linux box using the 2.2.14 kernel, but I consistantly get the same compile error. I have

Hey there, Just a question for you Samba 2.2.x gurus out there :) We have a contingent (a steadily increasing contingent) of Win2K and WinXP workstations. Does anyone here know how to stop the profiles from replicating? If we create a file in the profile dir, say \\PDC\UserHome\profile.doc. It will replicate that to the profile directory, while one file or two files are not a problem, we use

Hey all, I installed Samba 3.0 RPM onto our RH 9.0 system (a test system), it took me a long time to configure this one up as I wanted to learn how it does what it does and why, so when we deploy it as our main PDC (once S3 becomes final), we can be aware of any issues or bugs ahead of time. Anyhow, I have come across a few problems with it, whether these are known issues already or not I am not

Hi, I''ve noticed that if I have NIS enabled then shorewall will fail to start correctly as there is a brief time during startup (and restart) that the network is wholly disconnected causing NIS to object during RPC. The problem appears to be that during initialization and building of the chains the default is to allow existing connections and internal traffic to/from loopback,

I have an internal (10.16.0.0/24) network which is routed out via a proxy on port 80 only, this proxy is then routed to an upstream proxy on port 8080, this then runs through a cluster of caching (squid) proxies and then finally, goes out to the internet. As there are a cluster of squid proxies, the IP of an internet-request from the internal LAN is never the same, it changes to match the proxy

Hi, These days I run into something quite odd. I have an A@H that was modified to meet our requirements. We have a completely funtional DISA which we use pretty much all the time. I works flawlessly with incomming SIP calls from several providers, IAX calls from FWD and with ZAP. Recently we came out with a situation where it doesn't work... with a

Could someone precisely state what is necessary to add to smb.conf file in order to have CUPS printing working from Windows clients? My setup is: Samba 2.2.0alpha3 and CUPS 1.1.6, CUPS is working fine from Linux machine, but now I'd like to have it working from Windows clients that have Linux machine as PDC. The documentation is rather confusing, CUPS manual is stating that line:

I'm attempting to join samba 4 (using latest 4.4 built from source) as DC to an existing Win 2k8 server domain. The join works fine with no errors and appears to be replicating fine. However the DNS is not updated and I get the following error multiple times when running samba_dnsupdate --all-names: TSIG error with server: tsig verify failure I've checked the time and all servers are

Hello. While trying to get to the bottom of a puppetmaster+unicorn+nginx rig that''s serving empty files, it seemed to be a relatively sensible idea to upgrade the puppetmaster to 2.6.1 This broke in a manner that seems to be the multiple-& bug. Running the puppetmaster standalone gives the following: [ ... ] info: mount[files]: allowing *.mysparedomain.com access info:

Let me preface this message by saying that the "General Discusion" mailing list archived was filled with 99% spam, so I though I'd post here instead to get some real people. My employer is using SSH to replace rcp, rsh and rlogin in its UNIX products. Our experience so far is that the commercial product is slow(1), and difficult to use in scripts where standard input and output are

Ok this is a weird one. I cannot ssh into my server from the ISP directly. I CAN ssh into my server from the VPN to my company from the ISP. I can ssh into my server on a different port from the ISP directly and the VPN. I am using PAM authentication. I am using PuTTY When it fails, it first asks me for my username, then says "connection closed". any ideas? ===== Jacob Hawkes, B.

Hello, I've set up a Samba 3.0.2a domain member server on an existing Windows NT4 domain utilizing Winbind to resolve user authentication to my server. I would like to create local groups on my Samba server containing users from the NT domain to control access to shares on the Samba server. I've googled for a couple days trying to find something that will help me do this, but the
