similar to: Changing SWAT port or removing 2.2.7

I have been kind of fortunate in adjusting my SWAT information, and now can reach the SWAT3 interface through port 902 (thanks!), but now I have an even more interesting snag. Konqueror and Mozilla, when going to localhost:902 (what I set SWAT3 to respond to), will prompt a login box. The site is called "SWAT at localhost". I put in the root username, and the root password. It then

When I attempted to "rpm -i samba3-3.0.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm" this morning on my Mandrake 9.2 box, I got an unusual message that doesn't make sense. It said, over and over (thirteen times total): WARNING: user bgmilne does not exist - using root When it went back to root prompt, I did an "updatedb", but nothing for "samba-3" is found when I did the urpmi request.

Not to be the annoying child, but I have found myself uniquely annoyed that I can't update RPMs that include Samba 3, and I'm not certain if that's because it's even ready for Mandrake 9.2. Does anyone have a bead on this? Should I just go back to 2.2.8 and wait for the stable, or can someone point out a URL that has a stable 3.0 on it? Thanks Eric

Two issues, and I'll discuss them both: I created on my NT4 domain a group called "branch99". They're a "local group" as far as NT is concerned, and it has two members; myself, and another fellow down the hall. My end quest is to create a share on a Mandrake 9.2 box running Samba 2.2.8, and have it permit or deny file access based on NT's typical discretions.

Specifically, the instructions on the Samba3 doc file explain that I must edit the following information (as did John): Make an entry in /etc/services for a line called "swat". I've done that, it's called "swat3", and it ports to 902/TCP (Yes, I realize it's not the native port.) Make the adjustment in the /etc/xinet[d].d/swat3 file to point to the same port.

Hi friends We want communciate our windows 2000 computers with samba. We want use samba as domain controller. Before we had NT computers. Now we want install windows 2000 computers. For that reason we do all things again. At first step we have a problem. We want to add the computers to a domain. But when we try to do that it displays a message to enter the username and password. We do not

Good day! I am running Samba3 on a Mandrake 9.1 box. Right now, I have "security = user", but am not using any password authentication yet. I have 95 and 98 computers that can reach the shares available and print to the installed printer, and even a Windows 2000 user can do all of this. However, an XP computer I have can't go there. I double-click "DRAKEJAX" (the

I have Samba 2.2.8 on Mandrake 9.2, and have successfully been able to create a folder that grants browse and write permissions to an NT group. But I had to go about it the weird way; after I proved that this user could browse the share (and that a person not in the group couldn't), I noticed that my group member couldn't write to the share. I experimented with different CHMOD things, and

In a discussion with one of the main answer people, of whose time I am greatly appreciative, it was suggested that some of my problem (or solution) may be to run Samba on a distro that's better suited for it. Problem is, I don't have the time nor the inclination to download a bunch of distros just to install, test, fdisk, repeat. So I ask. what is a recommended recent distro that works

Hi, we run a RH 9 Server with samba 2.2.8 as a PDC. Win 2K/XP Clients can log in without a problem, logonscripts work fine. Now I'd like to update to Fedoroa Core 1 with Samba 3.0.0. I have read the update chapter of the "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO", but have the simple questions: will the new samba server work "out of the box" with the "old" configuration,

I installed the RPMS from samba web site for Mandrake 9.1. Configuration is weird as things are labeled smbd3 or winbind3... Testparm runs against /etc/samba/smb.conf yet swat configures the smb.conf in a different location...hmm.... But really my problem is joining the AD domain as a member server. I can't locate the net tool. How is this done? How does testparm know to test against

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. I'm trying to write a HOWTO for Samba 3.0.1 with an LDAP (new schema) backend. Basically just how to get a PDC up and useful.

I'm just dying to know what the origin of these messages with the txt attachments is. I get quite a few here, and even some in other mailing lists. But they're all unique; the attachment filename starts with ATT (followed by four or five digits), and are 192 bytes long. The senders are often different. Anyone got a bead on this? Eric

Hi, After upgrading from Mandrake Linux 9.2 to Mandrake Linux 10 I can no longer browse my workgroup domain in "My Network Places" from my XP Pro clients. However, I can still access the shares on my Samba server without problem using either "Add Network Place" or by entering the path directly in Explorer. Another symptom is found in my Samba log where a lot of the

Hello All Samba-list Members, I have installed a Samba 2.2.7, the samba-latest.tar.gz, as a PDC on a Redhat8.0 GNU/Linux server. ( Of course, I first uninstalled the original samba that came with the Redhat installation CDs by rpm -e samba*.) The installation was successful. Then I modified /etc/services and /etc/xinetd.d/swat as suggested in the installation document uncompressed from

There is a bug in Swat package samba-swat-3.0.2a-3mdk The password functions are not working: add user, change password, enable user. If you add or enable a user, the user will be disabled. You can check this by opening /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. Entry will look like: johnz:500:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [DU?????????]:LCT-00000000: The 32 X indicates that

Hi all, I've upgraded from 2.0.x to 2.2.2 on a Tru64 5.1 box. I try to start SWAT with root and roots password and get a : 401 Bad Authorization username or password incorrect With a non root account I can access, but not manage the server. What' wrong? Thanks in advance Roman

Hello, I am trying to set up a samba server for a few shared directories on AIX 5.3. It is running in a Windows 2000 domain. It now seems to share properly, but swat does not accept any login ID. I set up swat with the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf entries as per the manual. When I use a browser to "http://myserver:901" I get a login box for name and password, but it does not

Hi all, after reading some posts here about the mouse escape bug I forced the MouseWarpOverride option in the registry. Now the problem is that the mouse moves back to the center of the screen whatever I do. As I read in another post this is a different bug and to solve it I had to put MouseWarpOverride on disable. I am stuck here between to bugs. Any help appreciated. Wine version is 1.1.10.

Hello :) I have a problem with swat on a ubuntu machine (I installed swat per apt-get) When swat is running it doesn't print out anything (I guess that should be ok though) but after a while it just prints "Alarm Clock" and quits. When I try to connect to localhost:901 (before it says alarm clock though) firefox prints out "the connection was refused when attempting to contact
