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

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

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'd like to thank the Samba team for making our switch off of Active Directory amazingly smooth. We're a small company, only 30 desktops, but things went great for us. Actually, nobody even notices the Windows DC is even gone! The Exchange migration that went along with this wasn't as hassle free though. =( It's really refreshing to be able to SSH into our file server and see

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. Any ideas where I should start? -- Jerry Haltom <jhaltom@feedbackplusinc.com> Feedback Plus, Inc. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

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

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

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.

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

Hi, I have a linux box set up with Samba 3.0 and have configured my shared drives. What I am trying to do is store a MS SQL data base on my Samba share. I can see the drive from my SQL machine but when I try create the database there I get errors like inconsistent file names etc. Fist can this be done and if so how? Thanx Warren

random selection of cells in raster based on distance from xy locations Hi, I am trying to sample a raster for random cells that occur within a specific distance of point locations. I have successfully found multiple ways of doing this but have memory issues with very large datasets. To overcome this problem I am working with lists. I am now stuck on how to randomlly sample the correct elements

Good morning everyone. I wanted to ask the people on this list who are currently using roaming profiles with samba 3 how it is working? I worked a little with roaming profiles with 2.2.8a, but it was not working as well as I wanted it to and im hoping that samba 3 roaming profiles are working pretty well. Our network here is really calling for roaming profiles to be a major option here. Our

Great thanks, I'll test your config files now! some questions before: > I would also recommend Installing the 'acl' & 'attr' packages (if not already installed), those are installed and at the latest version on the file share server, are they needed on the AD too (I would think no)? > read up on using POSIX ACLs and lose the 'force' lines in the member

I would like to have winbind map all of my AD users to their full user@REALM form on the Linux domain members. I'd like lookups to be properly canonical. Is this possible? 'getent passwd user' should return: user@REALM.NET:*:1786588783:1786588745:Mr Man:/home/whatever:/bin/bash I'm finding my options are to either have the local names be plain, unprefixed, or prefixed, but

I'm having the hardest time trying to come up with the optimal configuration with NSS Winbind support. I want it to work right offline. That is, name lookups shouldn't take 30 minutes to time out or lock the system up. And if the name lookup is for a local name, I want Winbind to be 100% out of hte picture. I've tried this, without much luck: passwd: compat [SUCCESS=return] winbind

I'm getting a segv in Winbind, periodically. It's killing winbind and causing NSS information to fail. It's Very Obnoxious. It's in Ubuntu Intrepid. I have filed a bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5880 Which it looks like Volker was going to work on, but it's been awhile now with no word back. Anybody able to take a stab at this and lead me in a direction that

I'm having a problem involving Outlook and .pst files and a lock that is getting "stuck" I believe. Once Outlook crashes in the fashion it does, it is unable to reopen the file, claiming it is already in use. Explorer also does not let me access the file. Rebooting the workstation does not fix it. smbstatus does not show the lock, however hwen I show byte range locks, there is one,

Good day All I am re proposing this topic as it keeps happening in our enviroment and is creating some trouble now. I have 1 samba file share server, and a different samba4 AD server. the file server has been recently updated to Ubuntu 14 and its native samba 4.1.6. The samba4 AD is on Ubuntu 14 and on sernet-samba 4.2.2. what happens is that every 4~5 days the file share server loses randomly
