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

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

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?

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.

I am runnign a Samba 3.0.1 PDC, serving a domain named FEEDBACK. Joined to this domain we have about 30 workstations and 2 Windows 2000 Servers. These servers run MS SQL Server 2000. SQL Server is using Windows authentication. This allows users/applications on our LAN to connect to the server using Windows authentication. This process has been "flakey" for the last month, with

This morning one of our employees came into us noting that W2K said their password was invalid. It seemed to have changed on it's own. At that time LM/NT passwords in LDAP were the following: EE899DB29A5F1658AAD3B435B51404EE 62D7C4362BDB83A95BB28244BD9AF321 I made a note of them, and then changed the password using smbpasswd, to the same thing that it should have already been. At this point

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a Samba printer set up. What I have is a postscript capable HP laserjet. It actually has IPP/HTTP and stuff on it. I need queueing to work, so my clients can't print to it directly, so what I want to do is: Get the printer set up on a central CUPs server: done. Printing quality is perfect from Unix machines. Thank you postscript! Have samba print to

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.

I've got a working samba setup on a debian linux server. Existing windows boxes are win98 with unencripted passwords. They only need to see the exported directories on the samba server. All the networking is working. (dns, dhcp, ping, internet access, etc ) Anything I do on my new XP Pro box or in samba.conf gives the error message:- The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.please

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?

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

I have a Samba Domain that did migration from: 3.0.0 -> 3.0.2 -> 3.0.2a ->3.0.4 It is a very healthy machine it is running on. A heavily updated RedHat 7.2 machine. I have rebuilt newer source SRPM to update it. Pretty much updated piece meal since forever, and probably is updated e"enough". It is lean, as I do not believe in Garbage installs. But, the point of this is:

I did some testing using samba-3.0.0 as a server and two identical clients one Running W2K and other running Win XP pro. If I write a big file using the W2K client, I'm getting about 25 Mbytes/sec but if I run the same testing using the Win XP Pro, this client only is able to get 12.5 Mbytes/sec. There is a problem between XP and samba?

Is it necessary? I am also confused as to what it does. If I disable it in the smb.conf file, I can not say I see any difference. I am running 6 XP pro clients, MDK 9.2 as the file server.

I'm creating roaming profiles for the Win98 boxes in our network. Is there any way to map the "My Documents" folder to a share in the Samba server? -- "Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever come to birth.

hello, I've got a strange problem after an upgrade to samba 3. The existing profils are now unavailable for users, depending on their local rights. If the user is locally admin, his profil is succesfully loaded on login. Else there's no error, but the profil isn't loaded. The samba logs don't show anything special, but i can send them if someone want it. If I create new users,

About two months ago Samba (PDC) started rejecting users when login in Windows 98 or XP (that's what we've got). The strangest thing is that there is no rule when the server rejects username, so sometimes it allows login and sometimes doesn't. Users say that the system let them in if they empty all three fileds (username, password, domain) and retype them when login in Windows 98. I
