Hi all, I have set up two print servers with cups and samba 3.0.1. One of the samba servers is active and serves the windows clients. If the active server crashes (by hard- or software) I want to be able to make the other samba server active and act as the crashed samba server within minutes. Due to the fact that installing the windows printer drivers on samba takes a long time ( belonging to

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 would like to have winbind map all of my AD users to their full user@REALM form on the Linux domain members. I'd like lookups to be properly canonical. Is this possible? 'getent passwd user' should return: user@REALM.NET:*:1786588783:1786588745:Mr Man:/home/whatever:/bin/bash I'm finding my options are to either have the local names be plain, unprefixed, or prefixed, but

I'm having the hardest time trying to come up with the optimal configuration with NSS Winbind support. I want it to work right offline. That is, name lookups shouldn't take 30 minutes to time out or lock the system up. And if the name lookup is for a local name, I want Winbind to be 100% out of hte picture. I've tried this, without much luck: passwd: compat [SUCCESS=return] winbind

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

Having a bit of trouble understanding, or getting, "ldap passwd sync" working. I assume, setting it to Yes, would make it issue a change password command to the ldap server, just like pam does, ldappasswd does, or any other ldap program. Right? What does only do? -- Jerry Haltom <jhaltom@feedbackplusinc.com> Feedback Plus, Inc.

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. Any ideas where I should start? -- Jerry Haltom <jhaltom@feedbackplusinc.com> Feedback Plus, Inc. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

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?

I'd like my canonical Unix names to be of the form user@KERBEROS-REALM. Is there anyway to accomplish this? I'd also like NSS to lookup all the various variations and return that canonical representation. This seems to me to be the most appropriate way to map them. Is there a way to configure this? If not, is there anyway to return DOMAIN\user when lookups for 'user' happen?

I'm getting a segv in Winbind, periodically. It's killing winbind and causing NSS information to fail. It's Very Obnoxious. It's in Ubuntu Intrepid. I have filed a bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5880 Which it looks like Volker was going to work on, but it's been awhile now with no word back. Anybody able to take a stab at this and lead me in a direction that

I am using rsync on a Linux box, connecting to a Cygwin SSH server which has Rsync installed, and pulling some files to the Linux box. The transfer locks up. The rsync process on the Windows box hangs. A single hidden file in progress exists. It is an excel file, with 0 bytes. It locks up on this file consistently. I can open it, read it, delete it, using Cygwin tools, on Windows. It is an Excel

I would appreciate the addition of this option, which would cause files opened by rsync to be opened using the O_DIRECT flag, on Linux, at least. Let me explain my circumstance: I use rsync to migration VMware disk images from one machine to another while the VM is running. This works really well: you take a snapshot of the VM, run rsync, take another snapshot, run it again, then finally suspend

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

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.

Hello I am in the process of trying to set up a Cups server and a Samba server on a central Linux system in my home SOHO network. The network is configured as a simple workgroup with all peer to peer connections. There is no domain controller. On this network I have a printer attached to a Win2K machine. The Cups server is require so as to use a special driver from TurboPrint for processing

Hi Team, I'm on a mac, 0SX 10.5.6, R 2.7.2. I consistently make pairs plots and use mtext() to put labels on top of the plot in the outer margin. All of a sudden, this text has become really grainy in the final product and is making huge files. I have no idea why this has just started happening. The only thing I've done lately is install the new version of GIMP and run the script to
