I can ping the virtual Linux servers NetBIOS name and access a share. Perhaps someone can examine the attached named.conf file for errors and/or omissions. My virtual Linux server (172.17.60.6) has been configured as a WINS server, and a PDC. I am not, however, certain how to configure it as a DNS server beyond what is in the attached named.conf file. Here are the results of pinging the

Have just upgraded to samba 1.9.18p3 on a RedHat 5.0 linux system... now... when i type smbstatus... this is what i get.. Couldn't open status file /var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK so i assume that for some reason... this status file is not created upon startup.. Pat.

I played with the smb.config file long enough to get both the smbd and nmbd daemons to run. Then ran TESTPARM against the correct smb,conf file without issue. Finally I tried the following command: [root@cofr3 /]# smbclient -U illingsk -L MySQL added interface ip=172.17.60.6 bcast=172.17.63.255 nmask=255.255.248.0 wins_srv_died(): WINS server 172.16.0.121 appears to be down.

Hello, Just wondering what I should be using for the password change program on a BDC. Should it be: passwd program = /usr/bin/smbpasswd -r <PDC address> %u I'm having a problem with passwords not staying in sync between the PDC and BDC with pass backend ldap. The systems are all Fedora Core 4, Samba 3.0.14a, openldap 2.2.23 Kent N

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. I have been successful in joining the XP machine to the domain however it when I try to login to the domain windows instantly kicks up the message: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domaincontroller is down or

I tried hardcoding it into the network card's settings, ensured the settings were there (ipconfig/all) and it did work on the first occasion. Subsequent logins, fail to make it run the netlogon script I've tried turning debug up but the output doesn't make much sense, had it mentioned "attempting netlogon share, failed due to..." then I'd at least be in a position to

Hi, I'am running a small samba server at work with 10+ users in the domain (all of them added with W2KSP1 and 2.2.3 or 2.2.4). I uppgraded to 2.2.5 a while back and has not experienced any problem with it, but when I try to add a newly installed W2KSP1 client to the domain I get the following entries in the log file: Sep 10 13:29:55 linus smbd[17681]: [2002/09/10 13:29:55, 0]

Last night at home, and on a second system today at work, I tried putting in the sample preexec statement contained in the smb.conf man page to check it's effect on the domain logons. Just like the preexec for the perl script it kills domain logons. As that script is right in the smb.conf man page I'd certainly expect that to work. As one final shot at this I'll post my smb.conf for

We have a network with Windows NT/2000, SGI's, Linux, Macintosh, AIX. Our user account/passwords for all our machines is handled by NIS on an AIX machine. Our unix machines autheticate through NIS. Our windows machines authenticate by loging on to an NT server acting as the PDC, and that PDC has a service installed on it called "WinDD NIS" (made by Tektronix I think) which contacts

Hello, I have a working samba (2.0.7) server (Debian GNU/Linux 2.2) configured with security = user, but NOT domain. The clients are Windows 98. I whish windows users to be able to change their password without logging on the server (unix account on the server are disabled). I tried from the Password applet of the Control Panel, but I was able only to change the password stored on the Windows

I have recently configured two servers to be controlers of my domain. The first one is the PDC and is configured like : domain master = yes prefered master = yes local master = yes domain logons = yes security = user os level = 99 And the second, the BDC like : domain master = no prefered master = no local master = no domain logons = yes security = user

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

Hello all, I've set up samba as a PDC in FreeBSD 5.1-release. I seemed to have no problems joining my computer to the domain as it said "Welcome to the domain" but when I try and log in it says it can't contact the domain controller or the domain account doesn't exist. Can anyone offer any help on how to fix this? Here is my smb.conf. Kind regards, Elvar [global]

I've just edited smb.conf to make it a PDC on my SuSE 9.1 machine. I can add other machines to the domain but when I try to log on, I get the message "Windows cannot locate your roaming profile...blah blah" My config file is below. # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SuSE # Date:

I'm trying to set up for my small school lab: Samba as PDC, 11 workstations running XP Pro, roaming profiles with folder redirection. (I finally got the workstations to join the domain by adding them by hand--so I assume something is wrong with my add machine script, but I'll address that issue later, since I have only the 11 XP boxes to deal with.) Now I'm working on getting the

I'm looking for a simple solution to log a single entry for each login to a Samba PDC. My current attempt(s) of using a root prexec script in either the [netlogon] share definition or the [global] section are working, but not exactly as expected. In [netlogon] I have an entry: root preexec = /path/to/script/makelogonscript.pl %g %u %m %I ...where makelogonscript.pl generates a

Hello, I have installed since 6 months a PDC with samba and there is an endless problem : the roaming profile synchronisation !!! THE problem : Sometimes after the logout of a client, the roaming profile is not synchronised on server. So when client connect on another clients, it seems that some data have been loosed... After there is no later synchronisation... So mails in profile are often

I have been setting up Windows servers to serve windows clients for many years and am now looking at samba as an alternative. I am currently having a problem setting up samba as a PDC for windows XP clients. I can see the samba server through My Network Places. If I try to access it I can after putting in one of the usernames and passwords I have set up using smbpasswd. I have added a machine

Hi everyone, I have a question about the logon script command. I've read and read and read the man page for smb.conf. In essence, I've duplicated the settings on the PDC how-to document to create a PDC with a logon script. However, when I log in, the scrips doesn't run. The only thing I don't have enabled, like the how-to, is roaming profiles. I'll include my smb.conf for
