similar to: Samba 3 home dirs not going.

Dear list. Using samba 3.0.2, exporting home directories to drives using [homes]. Suppose this scenario: an employee falls ill. Someone else has to take over this persons work. I want to give this NEW person access to the ill person's home directory. Homedirectories shares are created at logon time. Meaning that the share for the ill person currently does NOT exist (as he or she is at home,

Hello, I am getting ready to migrate from a Novell Server and wanted to use Samba as a PDC. I am planning on using FreeBSD, Samba 3 and LDAP. The problem I encounter is that one of our business applications is only supported on Novell or Windows. What I was hoping to do was configure a Samba PDC and have a W2K server that houses that application join the Samba Domain. Then when I access the

hi all, I am configuring a samba server version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix, under redhat 8.0 I would like to configure which user have access to the home directory and which not the smb.conf home configuration is: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = +homeusr create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 where homeusr group is the group

My main interest in Samba is its use as a replacement for Microsoft WINS servers. From what I've read, it looks to me like WINS replication is a low priority for the Samba team - is this observation correct? What are the chances that Samba will be able to: A) Replicate the WINS database from/to a Microsoft WINS server? or B) Replicate the WINS database from/to another Samba server?

Summary: We cannot connect multiple users from an win2K/tse box to a samba server using password server authentication . Details: We have samba 2.2.8a on Sun Solaris , connected with an w2k/tse . Samba has been configured to check user/password using an "password server" on the network ( Domain PDC ) . When the first user connect to the win2k/tse all network shares are ok . But when

hello, I'm running Samba 2.2.5 and we recently went through a user login format change. We have the "security = user" option and when the home directories are cloned with the username (firstname.lastname), only those users with less than 12 characters in their login are able to click on their user named folder. The temporary work around is to have long-named users click on the

I'm trying to run the PDC for my domain on a seperate server from the home directory space. Also, I want each user to be able to FTP in with their domain username and password and access files in their home directory and only -their- home directory. It seems that I would need a seperate linux account for every user on the home directory server in order to fulfill my FTP requirement. Then

hello, I hope someone can help me with this problem because it is really unique and odd... or at least it seems to me. I can't find any references anywhere as to anyone else having the same trouble. Here is the story: I have a machine running RH 7.1 and samba 2.2.3a as our PDC for the Network. This box also serves other purposes such as Name server, dhcp server, internal web server, and

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

I have 3.0.2a (with about 75 machines/users) installed as a PDC for my Win2k users and found an oddity. (waiting for a bin version of 3.0.3 for RH8.0) All was fine before I left 2.2.8.... But now when users hit <CTL>-<ALT>-<DEL> and change the password, they get "domain not available". When they log in, they get the logon scripts to execute, and anything else I do to

Our Samba 2.2.1a domain controller suffered a major disk error the other day. The partition with /etc and /dev died. :( I?ve now reinstalled SuSE 7.3, and re-established the UNIX password files (passwd, group, shadow) from backup, further more I?ve re-established the files from /etc/samba (MACHINE.SID, groups.mapping, lmhosts, machine.sid, secrets.tdb, smb.conf, smbpasswd, smbusers). All my

Hi everyone, having a issue with asterisk and my new Voip providers service. Iv set up many asterisk systems before but never seen this and have tried to fix this with no luck.. I have used this exact same sort of setup for 5 other providers and never had this issue, If i replace the trunk login details with my works voip account and set it to IAX then it works perfect, Just not the new

Hi all, I've a little problem using ntlm_auth with squid. Scenario: Redhat 9, Samba 3 compiled, squid-2.5 compiled. smb.conf: [global] encrypt passwords = Yes winbind separator = \ winbind cache time = 10 template homedir = /home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes

I'm missing something simple I think: I have an spa3102 for which I want asterisk to use the incoming pstn callerid when it sends the call to a local extension (207). callerid works fine for the internal phones (between each other) The spa3102 is picking up the PSTN callerid and displays it in its own status pages Asterisk however, doesnt see the callerid at all. The spa3102 is set to:

I need to allow [read] access to a Samba server using both IP filtering & UserIDs . For a given list of IP subnets, any user should have access. Outside these 'trusted' subnets, I need to do User authentication. I can handle the User authentication OK in several ways. However, I don't see any way to do the 'short circuit' allow for some IPs, then use User authentication

Hi All, I would like to know if this is possible and if possible what is the complexity. Consider a CIFS client, SAMBA Server1 and Samba Server2. Say a session is established between a CIFS client and SAMBA server1. Is it possible for the SAMBA server1 to transfer/redirect/reestablish the connection to SAMBA server2 without the CIFS client knowing about this? The session between the CIFS

I run a pretty large network, we have plenty of users. Most of our users have their windows home directories on Samba servers. One of these many users has the username "homes". This user is unable to map their home directory (\\sambaserver\homes). It seems that this could be a conflict between the "homes" share definition and his username and samba getting confused.
