Hey, I worked for days on this, and I want to share the solution I stubled across. I got this error message from my wife XP laptop: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear, contact your system administrator for

Hi, I have a Samba print share set up, with a "print command" specified that just cats the file to /dev/ulpt0. This share is accessed by the guest Samba account, which I have set to be the 'smbguest' username. I can manually run the print command as root, and the file prints. I can manually run the print command as 'smbguest' (through sudo) and the file prints.

Hi, I am playing around with automatic printer driver download to Windows 2000 clients from Samba 2.2.8a-1 which doesn't seem to work. Whenever I right-click on the printer and say "connect", it displays: The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed..... Here is my smb.conf file: [Global] workgroup = DEBIAN_FANS load printers = yes

I am new to Samba, but not to Linux. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have installed Samba and it appears to be working, at least as far as I have tested it. However, I have hit a snag in my testing. I have searched Google for several hours but I have not found a solution. On a Linux machine (named "annwn") running Fedora Core 6, I have set up a share, using

Hey, everyone. I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on a Debian Linux 3.0 box and for some reason, when someone tries to delete something they can't, it does give them the access denied message the first time. When they try to do it again, no message appears and it seems to be deleted (it disappears from the list), but when they refresh the list, it appears again. My file system is as follows

Hi all, In continuing of previous problems, I've noticed some potential problems with force user / force group and Windows XP Professional. I'm not exactly sure why or how, but it appears that XP picks up the fact that it's being connected as the forced user (smbguest), and continues trying to authenticate to other services/shares as that user (smbugest). I'm not sure if this

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Samba, trying to make it work on CentOS 7. Before that, I ran Samba successfully in a mixed environment with Slackware64 14.1 on the server and Slackware/Windows Seven on the client side. I have three sandbox machines running CentOS 7. One has a minimal install with only the samba and samba-client packages. Just to be on the safe side for fiddling,

Wow I'm sending my second cry for help before the first even gets a reply, I'm starting to feel like a moron because I have no idea how I caused this current hitch. Here's the story: I was trying to add an acct called "administrator" to samba which has an enabled,good linux acct. I never did get that acct working for some unknown reason, but what happened as a result of my

Hi there, after several (pretended successful) rejoins to the domain it does not work and we decided to give up the domain login concept and simply map the shares by a batch file now. We also had to disable the downloadable printer driver option, because not all drivers work correctly :-( -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces+goetz.kopmann=airbus.com@lists.samba.org

Hello, I've done a fair amount of searching, and couldn't find a definitive answer. I am moving my dovecot/postfix servers and mail in Maildir formats to a new host. When I move the Maildir directories, what should I do with the dovecot.index/cache/log/etc. files? I know I can filter them out, and dovecot will recreate them, but is that the best approach? I am thinking of the following:

Mozilla sponsored source code audit for Dovecot. So thanks to them we have our first public code audit: https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS/Secure_Open_Source/Completed#dovecot Dates: October 2016 - January 2017 dovecot is a POP and IMAP mailserver; it is used in 68% of IMAP server deployments worldwide.

It is my understanding that if you have a wildcard in smbusers, it should only apply this if the particular users is not in your /etc/password file. Is this true? It appears like samba is rolling down the smbusers file and everything gets mapped to my wildcard user. Eg. smbusers: root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest myunixlogin = mysmblogin www-users = * If I map a

1. There is no Domain Users group on my Samba 3.0.6 server. Does this group need to be manually created? 2.

Hi, I recently updated my Samba from 3.3 to 3.5, and while that worked fine, I can no longer access my shares - it asks for a password, which fails even if I do enter a correct one. Here is one of my shares - very simple, I think: [myshare] comment = My Share path = /path/to/myshare public = yes read only = yes writable = no browseable = yes printable = no guest ok = yes

Hi All, Probably simple question: I want to make a share for sharing an lmhosts file which gets included by the clients. This share has to be very public and accept nullsessions (whatever that me be (no username and password?)). I want this because I need to generate aliases on the fly for for our fileserver for some clients (terminalservers specifically). So I thought that having an server
