similar to: Should I use winbind in this case

I have the Win2000 client(s) in a Samba domain. Domain authentication works fine, my "homes" share works fine, remote profiles work fine. Using 3.0.1Pre1 I would like to add people to "someshare" through the Security tab, and control their access through windows ACL's. How should I setup a share as a basis for doing this? The share below (someshare) in this email

I'm really struggling with ACL's and permissions. I have a share owned by a user (douglas). Douglas can read, write and create to the share: [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/samba/pub nt acl support = yes public = yes admin users = douglas write list = douglas I'm logged in to Win2000 as douglas. Through the security tab on Win2000 I add read and

I have ACL's enabled and am getting a new error, in the Samba log (V 3.0.1Pre1, when attempting to set permissions on a file through Win2000: get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [terry] is not a Domain group ! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that Do I need to create a group on the windows(2000) side? The entries in the domaingroup.map

I'm having trouble with ACL's and wonder how many others are too. I see conflicting answers and comments about different aspects of ACL's from many prople on the list. I was wondering if ANYONE is successfully using ACL's with Samba 3.0 or above. Questions I have that I'm sure many are asking are: Was your Samba server configured as the DC? What client OS were you

Winbind seems to have broke my roaming profiles. I have a 3.0.1Pre1 DC on RH AS 3.0 running with Win2000 SP4 clients logging in. Remote profiles worked well and then I added: winbind separator = + idmap uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /home/win2000/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash Added it to nsswitch.conf and

Since I get so much from this list I thought I would share a project I've been working on and how it works with samba (3.0.1). It is Samba related so I hope it's not off topic. I've set up a HA solution with redundant Samba Domain Controllers throuth the "Heartbeat" package at: http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/heartbeat/1.1.3/redhat_9/ I have two "Redhat

After realizing my CUPS printername in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf must be the same as my samba printer sharename (I don't think it says that anywhere in any HOWTO, correct me if I'm wrong though) I am now getting to the printer resource but... Using Samba 3.0.1 and attempting to connect to a samba cups printer with Win2000 I am getting the following samba error: Returning domain sid for

Being that you SAMBA developers had to work so hard to reverse engineer the AD protocols. Will there soon be improvements and more full featured functionality in SAMBA now that you have access to more documentation? Is anything on the order of a fully feature AD clone in the works. Also, how do you dance around patented protocols? Can you still implement them? Do you have to avoid them?

Can a samba domain user login successfully to a PC in the domain if the PC is not connected to the network? This assumes the user has logged on at some point in the past to get their credentials on the local PC of course. Is this a "Standard" feature of SAMBA (allowing Cached credentials) or do you have to some how trick samba to allow this? I've looked in the Official

Could I get some opinions on which type of Samba based printing is easier, CUPS or LPRNG, or just bybass Samba altogether. I'm looking at the Printing HOWTO by Kurt Pfeifle (Printing Support in Samba 3.0) and both look really complex. Anyone out there have any experience with printing services in Samba? Should I just stay away from samba printing and go direct to Network printers? What

I have the Official Samba 3 and Samba-3 by example books, although not the second edition copies. But I can't seem to find out how to push out patches and hotfixes with Samba. Is this not possible at this time? I don't have a lot of experience with Windows but I am going to have to deal with this issue soon. I think I understand that pushing out policies is possible. Is Microsoft

This is probably an FAQ, but my looking into the issue was unproductive. When connecting to a samba share from a win2000 professional machine, I get prompted for a password. Security is set to user on the samba machine. I reenter the same password as the local user that I login as, and then it accepts it. I'm not using encrypted passwords, but I have added the PlainTextPassword registry

Mandrake 9.1 Samba 3.0, windows2000 pro sp4. I finally got Samba 3.0 working thanks to G?mes G?za. Now I am having another issue as outlined below: 1)There are 2 users on the Linux pc, markw (regular user) and root. Both have valid samba passwords. 2)I have a share called: [data] path = /test valid users = markw, root read only = No browseable = yes 3)I am able to map the share with the user

Hello all. First, a little background... I recently downloaded samba-*-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk , installed on Mandrake 8.2 and got everything working fine. I have LDAP installed for "single sign-on" support. I can use LDAP to authenticate other Linux boxes, and have Samba as a PDC for some Win2000 boxes - all working fine. Linux users are the same as PDC users, except for their passwords

Hi, all.... Honestly I'm a newbie in Linux. For a couple days, I've been trying to build my own PDC server. I've got enough manual resource for guidance, but somehow, untill now I can't log my Win2000 Profesional into the PDC server. I'm using Debian sid kernel 2.6.5, Samba 3.0.2a and a Win2000 box as client. I think there's nothing wrong with my smb.conf ( I guess...

Hi! As a Samba newbie I have a big problem getting my Win2000 Server PDC users to authenticate to CVS/SSH on my samba 2.2.3a-12.3 debian woody machine. The linux server is member of the Windows Domain, and users can login via the network neighbourhood and their domain passwords (style: DOMAIN\user). wbinfo -u gives me all the known Domain users, so I think winbind is working correctly... Is

I am using Mandrake 8.0 (on /dev/hda5) with Windows 2000 (on /dev/hda2) mounted as /mnt/win2000 and the windows swap file (on /dev/hdb12) mounted as /mnt/k. I installed wine-20010305-1.i386.rpm and then ran winesetup. When it got to Autodetect I got following message: Unable to detect any users on WinNT/2k partition mounted on /mnt/k. This means that this windows installation is probably

I have a home network with samba running on my gentoo machine. The samba share is visible to all my home machines (XP home edition and win95). My work laptop (win2000) however, does not show the share in the network neighborhood. When I try to connect to the share directly by typing \ \192.168.15.141\share_name in the run dialog win2000 displays the following message: "There are currently no
