Hi list, is it possible to add multiple homedir templates to smb.conf ? I have a running linuxsystem where homefilesets are mounted from different windows-servers to subdirs like: /home/server01/home/USERNAME /home/server02/home/USERNAME /home/server03/home/USERNAME The users come via winbind. In the smb.conf the entry for the homedir: template homedir = /home/%U So how is it possible to

Hello-- I'm working my way through setting up an email server for faculty and staff use at the school my wife teaches at, and while not a Linux whiz, am making good progress so far. The school has a NT 4 server which is used for domain authentication, and I am trying to grapple with whether I can achieve the "holly grail" of synchronized passwords between the email server on Linux

Hi list, is there any chance to synchronize passwords between the smbpasswd of samba 2.2.x and the ADS of a win2000 server-system, but without using winbind ? We don't want to use winbind, because with this we have to change our running infrastructure of samba from Samba-PDC with smbpasswd. Does there exists for example a little tool that can be run by crontab to sync the passwords ? Hope

Should I be required to add the machine to my passwd file even if I am using LDAP when joining a W2K domain domain? The only way I can get a machine to join my Samba PDC is via the following commands. # /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "asa" -s /bin/false asa$ # smbpasswd -a -m asa I thought that using ldapsam would lookup all machine information from LDAP without having to

Hi list, I have running samba 3.0.9 on a SuSE Enterprise-Server 9 with Kernel 2.6.5. Samba works very well but In have one problem while using the recycle vfs with samba: when I save a file (with wordpad or editor ...) to the network-share, a 0 byte-file will automaticly be saved to the trash-folder. After removing the file from the network-share, the real file (>0 byte) will be stored to

Hello, all I have a problem with my administrator accounts on WinNT with Samba. When I log in locally as the Administrator, it works as expected - I *am* the administrator for the machine. When I log into the domain as Administrator, it works as expected - I log in as root. The prolem comes when I try to do anything on the local machine as Administrator (logged into the Samba server).

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I'm on the way to implement samba with ldap on five servers (each owns a different nt-domain) and a master server which maintains the central user database which gets replicated to all the other servers. Now I have just one more problem, namely homedirs. I want every user to have a homedir to store for example his profile. This has to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, While preparing packaging of te upcoming samba-2.2.5, we are looking at having samba packages with and without ldap enabled, however, we would like to try and minimize the duplication. But, it seems that most (all?) binaries resulting from a --with-ldapsam build en up linking to libldap. Are there really good reasons for nmblookup, smbcacls,

I am new to CUPS, after working for 4 days to get printing from WinNT to Mandrake 9.0, I give up. Here is the problem: the /etc/samba/smb.conf is setup with [printers] and [print$]. I copy the postscript drivers from adobe. I then tried to export a printer to samba with the following command cupsaddsmb -v -U dwoody canon It did all of the commands successfully except for the last one. which

I am running Mandrake 9.0 and have installed OpenLDAP by using RPMDrake and installing it from a package included on the CD's. When I run ./configure it never finds the installation. How can I fix this? Is OpenLDAP absolutely required to get Samba working with Windows 2003? Thanks Matt

Hi, I'm a newbie at samba (I just configured the samba server on my Linux box). I was wondering if, along with the printer and disk space, I could even share the CD Writer on the linux box as a device which my "windows" friends could map and burn CDs on. any comments would be of great help thanks deepak. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hello every body, i am using samba (2.2.8a) with ldap support. In the samba.schema, there are special attributes relatives to the user passord: pwdMustChange, pwdCanChange, kickoffTime, logoffTime, logonTime and pwdLastSet. All the samba's documentations i can found described those attributes as "currently unused", execpt the last one that represent the time modification since 1970.

Dear all. I have install samba 2.2.7a in mandrake 9.1 and success access by client, but there is a problem about it.

Hi, This is a slight repetition but I have discovered more.... I have the latest beta of Samba 3.0. I want to use the MySql password authentication (mainly because I don't know and don't have time to learn LDAP). However, beyond the examples I can find no other code relating to mysql in the source tree. mysql.so in particular is not there. Is it included in the source? If not

I have successfully joined the XP machine to the domain. The strange part is, that it only wanted to be joined if it connected to the PDC and not the BDC. The way it is set-up is that the XP machine and a BDC is in one branch and the PDC is in another. Every time I would try to connect via the BDC, it would return a value ACCESS DENIED I stopped the smb service on the BDC, and got it to
