Hello All, Got a little problem that I'm hoping somebody can help me solve. I've got a samba server set as the office's file server. We have a large common share that different people put documents in, and are to be modified by other people. I need to setup samba so that when a new file is created it is writeable to the entire group, not just the person who created it. Here is

I've got Samba 2.2.3a running on Debian Linux Kernel 2.4.21 setup as a domain controller. When I try and login to the domain from a Windows XP workstation I get the following message. Windows cannon connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Can anybody think of what is causing this? Any help

I've got Samba 2.2.3a running on Debian Linux Kernel 2.4.21 setup as a domain controller. When I try to add a Windows XP Workstation I get the following message.

Anybody think of what is causing this? Any help is

Hi! I am seeing other users with the same problem as I have. My samba also fails to add machine accounts. It seems to me if it didn't even try. If I use some other script (pdbedit, smbldap-tools) than smbpasswd it manages to add the account but still fails to authenticate within the same session. If I try again the machine account exists and authentication goes ok. server:~# smbpasswd -a -m

There is OBVIOUSLY something wrong somewhere. EITHER a WHOLE bunch of us are stupider than we thought, the documentation left off a step, or there is something SO blatently obvious that we are ALL staring it in the face and missing it inches in front of our faces. This is exactly what I've had, (BUT I *D*I*D* have it running ok ...) and I STILL havent figured it out yet,... Subject:

Hello Samba users, I'm trying to configure my samba server as a PDC for some Win2k machines. I'm running Red Hat 8.0 and samba-3.0.0rc4. Everything seems to be ok, when using workgroup configuration, all the shares works fine. But I cant get the Win2k clients to log in the Domain. It says I have a unknown user or an incorrect password. But at least it prompted me for a user/password, so I

Hi. I've been at it for a solid week now....trying to figure out how to mount a smbfs-resource at boot. See i need to do the following; mount -t smbfs //<machine_name>/<share> /home/<usr_name>/music ...only thing is, I have to run the cmd as a regular user. The easiest thing would offcourse be to have i run at when booting, but i don't know how to do that. Any help

/etc/fstab: //machine_name/SAN /mnt/SAN cifs defaults 0 0 [root at machine_name SAN]# mount -a Password: mount error 13 = Permission denied Problem is there is no password to the smb server. Why am I getting a password prompt when the share has full RW access and all access is granted on the share? Note, though the share is fully visable and accessable and writeable by just browsing the

First thing - I'd like to say a big "THANK YOU" to the developers. I just upgraded to samba-3.0.23 and I've noticed an alarming issue with respect to my configuration. I've been using the built-in keytab management and it looks like the updated code no longer creates the userPrincipal in Active Directory. Whether this is an issue for others or not, it would be nice to have

Hi All, I have setup my samba as a PDC and testparm gives me the right result, but when I am trying to add my XP client to SAMBA I receive an error as "Logon failure: bad username or password" or "Username could not be found". I am using root as the domain administrator and have added root account using smbpasswd and can see it using pdbedit -Lv. I can logon successfully

I am running it to a problem adding a WinXP Computer to my samba PDC. It is coming up with an error about the trust accounts. I have tried the registry patch with no success. Any suggestions? Kevin

Dear Michael, I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 machine and win xp pro. Besides I performed all the steps below. >From my postings I learned that the prob might have something to do with a wrong mapping in smbusers file. It seems to me that the workstation account is mapped to user nobody. Up to now I was not able to solve the prob. Do you have any ideas

Hi again! ;) Sorry if I'm being a pest, but I'd really like to be able to have my samba as a PDC. Okay, I've now joined the domain and rebooted. Now I'd like to login to the domain. On the login screen, I've chosen a name which is in the LDAP and thus should be a domain user. I've also selected to login to MDKGROUP (domain name); ie. I changed it from

Is this a bug or what... Setup: samba-2.2.6.p2_1 as Windows PDC Installed via ports on FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE on install I enabled Syslog support, Recycle Bin, and Quota support. Everything installs properly I created the groups machines:201, and admins:200. Added every user with the command "smbpasswd -a <username>" Also added every machine with this command "smbpasswd -a -m

Hi All, I have a setup using tdbsam as a backend, I can add accounts using pdbedit -a <username> but I have only been able to add one machine account. I can't figure out why. # pdbedit -a -m test tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (test$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) I have verified that there is no entry in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow for the machine name I

Hi, I''ve run into a problem, and no amount of Googling seems to help. I''m running Xen 3.4 and have the consoles of my DOMUs setup to be VNC.

Kristyan (and all) I just searched the samba website, and I couldnt find any reference to spnego except for a slide show (samba-lwny.ag ) that I can't open. ANYWAY. since I can't find any reference to the spnego parameter, could someone explain what it is, what it does, and HOW it can help us "stupid" people? It doesnt seem to be a parameter I've come across before..

I have read over the lists and search the web, I know this question has been asked before, but I've not been able to fix my problem so I'll ask here.

Hi, I have a C5.8 machine with several DomU's. I fubared the fstab on one of them and I need to get it into single user mode. Does anyone know how to do that? I tried adding single to the extras line in /etc/xen/machine_name but it still tries to start in level 3. To make things worse, the root partition is on LVM. Alternatively, does anyone know how to access the image from DomU? I tried
