A month ago I mentioned on this list work on a automated package deployment tool for Windows systems, which is server agnostic. At the time, I didn't have the time to put it up in a place for public consumption. I do now. The utility is named wpkg (punny isn't it?) It's nothing more than a simple .js (jscript) file which needs to be run on Windows, from a directory containing three

Just wondering if anybody out there actually downloaded and got my Wpkg utility working. I'd like to hear what people think about it. Not having a progect page for it and all doesn't make that easy. Hmm. Maybe i'll set up a sourceforge page. Anyways, anybody using it? (for those not aware, it's a utility to automatically install software on windows computers, without any specific

I'd like to thank the Samba team for making our switch off of Active Directory amazingly smooth. We're a small company, only 30 desktops, but things went great for us. Actually, nobody even notices the Windows DC is even gone! The Exchange migration that went along with this wasn't as hassle free though. =( It's really refreshing to be able to SSH into our file server and see

I am running Samba on a box serving a network of 30 clients, and 2 MS SQL 2000 servers. The SQL servers are members of the domain, and use NT authentication for connections and such. For the most part, this works fine. However, it seems that every now and then, pretty randomlly, NT authentication is failing for these services. Errors returned are pretty typical of DC-not-working problems: Login

One of our workstations spit out the following error: Could not change machine account password: the stub received bad data. This sounds to me like a Samba problem... but it's a bit beyond me to come up with an answer to.

I am runnign a Samba 3.0.1 PDC, serving a domain named FEEDBACK. Joined to this domain we have about 30 workstations and 2 Windows 2000 Servers. These servers run MS SQL Server 2000. SQL Server is using Windows authentication. This allows users/applications on our LAN to connect to the server using Windows authentication. This process has been "flakey" for the last month, with

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a Samba printer set up. What I have is a postscript capable HP laserjet. It actually has IPP/HTTP and stuff on it. I need queueing to work, so my clients can't print to it directly, so what I want to do is: Get the printer set up on a central CUPs server: done. Printing quality is perfect from Unix machines. Thank you postscript! Have samba print to

This morning one of our employees came into us noting that W2K said their password was invalid. It seemed to have changed on it's own. At that time LM/NT passwords in LDAP were the following: EE899DB29A5F1658AAD3B435B51404EE 62D7C4362BDB83A95BB28244BD9AF321 I made a note of them, and then changed the password using smbpasswd, to the same thing that it should have already been. At this point

Our computers in our office ceased being able to print to a shared cups printer today. Could not find the cause. Seems the smbd processes are dying. Below is the stack trace produced by gdb bt full.

Hey List, I'm using Samba 3.0.24 and OpenLDAP 2.3.30 (with the ppolicy and smbk5pwd overlays). While testing Samba as a PDC with an OpenLDAP backend, I've hit a snag on password change. I currently have the following in my smb.conf related to password changes: passwd program = /usr/bin/ldappasswd -x -W -S -D uid=%u,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com passwd chat = "*Enter

Hi, i've compiled samba 2.2.4 on a Redhat 7.1 machine, working with openldap 2.0.23. I also downloaded smbldap-tools from IDEALX which i fixed myself to fit my needs.

Hello! I am using samba running as a PDC at our school. I have read many docs and howtos but I can't find anything about Concurrent logins. I would be a nice feature becouse I don't want my users to login more than one time. Is there anyone that does have a clue?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with using the Dfs functionality within Samba. I've been searching for any performance information and or documentation regarding Dfs in particular load balancing i.e. 1) How does it load balance? Is it some sort of round robin? 2) Is there a limit to the number of servers that can used in the load balance? 3) How many requests per

Hi! I'm trying to use the internal LDAP provided by Samba4 to store mail domains used by SOGo. I have two sets of users. Those used by Samba and created through samba-tool and those created under some "ou" I have made up. A few days ago I was able to change the latter users passwords using "ldapadmin" (a windows LDAP client) but today I am not. When I try to change a

Hi, I have a linux box set up with Samba 3.0 and have configured my shared drives. What I am trying to do is store a MS SQL data base on my Samba share. I can see the drive from my SQL machine but when I try create the database there I get errors like inconsistent file names etc. Fist can this be done and if so how? Thanx Warren

Hi, I want, that the unix password ( stored on LDAP ) gets changed when a user changes his samba password ( stored on LDAP ). So I set ldap passwd sync = yes, but the unix password does not get changed. The samba password is updated. Smbpasswd shows this error machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the (anonymous) password change: Error was : Wrong Password. Failed to change password for user1. After
