similar to: Q: logging other existing domain users to samba nework

I already posted this question some time ago, but no-one came with a solution or even a comment. Please, I really need this! So, I repeat: Configuration: Server: Mandrake Linux 9.1 box running samba 2.2.7 controling my home network A Windows 2000 Pro laptop, a few other Win and Lin boxes Problem: my wife has an existing remote domain account on her win2000 laptop, I want her to be able to

I have a stock Mandrake 8.1 server running with Samba 2.2.2. Applications like goldmine, ACT, or access etc... keep getting corrupted index's (multiple users using these applications w/ multiuser licenses). This does not happen on NT. Here is my smb.conf (NOTE the oplocks settings): [global] workgroup = NCPLA netbios name = NCP01A netbios aliases = Linux server string =

[global] coding system = client code page = 850 code page directory = /var/lib/samba/codepages workgroup = MICROVERSE netbios name = netbios aliases = netbios scope = server string = Samba Server %v interfaces = bind interfaces only = No security = USER encrypt passwords = Yes

Ok I probably found the first problem with my system: I was using a domain name identical to the workgroup already set on the clients. I changed it and anything seems to work better infact I can now join the domain and the machine account it's created... BUT when the system ask me to create a new machine user the system give me this error: "cannot create user account since trust

Greetz all, I am setting up a comain controller for a windows 2000 network and I think I have everything squared away. The problem that I am having right now is that all of the documentation/howtos that I have thusfar seen assume that a user wishes to implement roaming profiles in Samba. We want to preserve local profiles (local on the client.) I had seen a posting suggesting to set the

Here is dump from testparm and our smb.conf ... Please check it and tell what you think could be the problem... Thanx...

Hello all I need some help understanding what is failing with my Samba installation. I compiled Samba 2.0.6 on a Sparc Ultra-II Solaris 2.6, using GCC version 2.8.1. I have read in some of the docs that there may be some support for shadow passwords but could not find a definition regarding shadow in any of the compile scripts. The SMB and NMB processes are running as deamons. I am unable

I have Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 8 acting as a PDC. I have written a script that checks to see if a user is already logged in on the PDC and if so, sends the user a message (via the SMB message stuff) telling them they need to log off. I run this script using "preexec close" under the netlogon share. So, the user authenticates against the PDC, but then gets a desktop that is mostly

I am using Samba 2.0.9 on S1 SuSE box and Samba 2.2.5 on S2 Suse box. S1 is acting as PDC for 98, NT clients. (logon script, shares from S1, and S2). Users's passwords are stored on S1, S2 uses security = server and password server = S1 options in smb.conf. I have upgraded both to Samba 2.2.8, but the logon script wants to connect to share from S2, it is prompted for a password. I have

I plead complete ignorance. I have 2 Win98 boxes and a Win2K box trying to access a Samba 2.08 server running on OpenBSD 2.8. All IP addresses are hard coded with the IP of the Samba box as the Wins server (see the smb.conf) The Win2K box can resolve the name of the Samba machine but cannot map to it. The other boxes can't resolve the name. All are set to the same workgroup. [global]

Hi all, I am sharing a directory by using SAMBA Ver. 2.2.3a on a HP-UX 11.11 for MS XP-Clients. Allthough conntecting works fine, I get the follwing log entry everytime a client connects: [2003/12/30 10:11:02, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(939) check_plaintext_password: getsmbpwnam returned NULL smb.conf looks as follows: # Global parameters [global] coding system = client code page = 850 code page

First, I want to thank Mark Clement and Steve Litt for their comments. But as the subject indicates, i'm still not having any luck printing. Mark, I can't even get output to a test file. Below is a printout of testparm. One thing that *is* odd, is the reference to a "printers.def" file in /etc. There wasn't any such file there. The contents are a duplicate of the

Hey folks. I have samba 2.0.7 running just fine on a freebsd server. I have file shares that work just fine for my windows clients. I have set up a deskjet 842C on the freebsd box and I can print to it just fine. Im using apsfilter with it. I have the printer set up and I can see it from my windows clients, but print jobs submitted to the queue never get printed. Im not sure wether to use bsd mode

Hello all, I've been dealing with this problem for years now and I am a bit fed up with it. Maybe some of you all can shed some light on the situation. I am having problems with my samba server setting the uid/gid/permissions incorrectly when a file is written to the server filesystem over cifs. I currently use the account remotemounter for mounting samba shares. Even with the

All users on the network are part of the same group and the files they work on our in that group. So how come they cant clear the archive bits? Can any one help Ive pasted the global parameters from the conf file: Cheers.

Dear samba, i am experiencing a problem when i was setting my redhat 9 to become a domain server for windows, there is no problem for windows 2000 (i have no problem with join domain and domain logins), but with windows XP it's a different story, there's no problem with join domain, but when i try to do domain logins i encountered the following message : "windows cannot connect to the

I've got a strange problem with certain Active Directory user accounts that are members of more than 32 groups. It seems that Samba (or winbind?) completely ignores extended groups if it crosses over 32 groups. This seems to be a Samba specific issue; * When the AD user is logs in via ssh, it can perform writes to the resource; the same user browsing via Samba will get an "Access

Hi everyone, I have a question about the logon script command. I've read and read and read the man page for smb.conf. In essence, I've duplicated the settings on the PDC how-to document to create a PDC with a logon script. However, when I log in, the scrips doesn't run. The only thing I don't have enabled, like the how-to, is roaming profiles. I'll include my smb.conf for
