similar to: Samba PDC - Solaris 8 or 9??

This link: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#LOGONPATH States that: "Windows clients can sometimes maintain a connection to the [homes] share, even though there is no user logged in. Therefore, it is vital that the logon path does not include a reference to the homes share (i.e. setting this parameter to \%N\%U\profile_path will cause problems)." I am still

I'm running Samba 3 as a PDC on a Solaris 9 box. I am able to create profiles and add stuff to the profile (by logging in for the first time), however nothing ever seems to get deleted from the profile. For example, if I remove both the local profile and the profile as it exists on the PDC, and then login the new profile gets created perfectly. If I then add a "Temporary

Just wanted to say kudos to the samba team for a great job on samba 3. Im still reading up on all the nice features with samba 3, but so far, I really like it. Just wanted to say great job! Jason

Good Afternoon, How do I set my domain users to became Power Users on the workstations? Is there a way to map unix group "x" on the domain to became nt group "Power Users"? I did some research and I found someone mentioning "take domain users from the users group, and add it to the power user group" but my w2k does not list "Domain Users" under

Hi all, After recovering the former SID that I hadn't had in mind while changing the Linux distro (thanks to Thomas for his help), now I still have some problems. I can't still get any user to login but the ones that must be in cache in the clients (thanks again Thomas). So, I'll give you the logs to see if anybody detects something strange... The users can perform a 'smbclient -L

I'm getting the following errors in my error logs: ERROR! vuid 100 did not map to a valid vuser struct! At the time this error was being created I was trying to add a domain user as a local admin. I was trying to get the browse list of domain users up, but being denied. Cheers Jeff -- Jeff Gardiner [ gardiner@nospam.imaging.robarts.ca ] System Administrator - Imaging Research

I am trying to get roaming profiles working for my Win2K workstation and run a group login script at logon. My user account (traxx) can join and logon to the domain (DATA) but I get 2 error messages after authentication: 1 'Windows cannot create profile directory \\henry\dcarter\profile.pds. You will be loggeed on with a local profile only. Changes to the profile will not be propogated to the

Alright, I can be a bit thick sometimes, but by RTFM or other documentation I've solved a problem. ISSUE I had been having problems with profiles, I use using the following profile: <edited> [global] preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon path = \\%N\%u\profiles logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U logon script =

I have in my smb.conf file the following entries: time server = yes and logon script = startup.bat Where logon script is as follow: -----start script ----- NET TIME \\SUPERSERVER /SET /YES # Here we map network drives to shares on the Samba Server echo Mapping Network Drives to Samba Server Theremin net use s: \\superserver\scratch net use r: \\superserver\share

Hello- When our users log off for the evening and log back in in the morning they are having to re-enter the SMB password for the network shares they had saved when mapping them. In the past when the local username and password matched the smbpasswd file then all connections restored w/o a hitch. Its now not working. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Below is my small smb.conf file

I set up printing IAW: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html I've confirmed the drivers are being installed to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86. Yet I am unable to print even a test page. I get the following error: "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print trouble shooter for assistance? Access is denied." And I get the following errors in my samba

Hi I have read that Samba can emulate an NT Domain. Is this still possible? I dont see much about it listed anymore. Is it still supported in 2.2.8a. Does anyone have any information concerning this? We would like our version to do this so we can do some testing with one of our NetApp 880's. -- Thank you TJ _________________________________ Steven ?Todd? Johnson State of Alaska Dept.

Hello all, Just wanted to report that the samba/bin/profiles binary in Solaris 9 causes Segmentation fault. I can send the core file to anyone who wants for inspection. I've checked all of the other binaries, and the remainder seem to work fine. I have been having trouble with roaming profiles incidental, I don't know if this is related. Cheers Jeff -- Jeff Gardiner [

Hello all, I currently run Samba 3.0 on a Solaris 9 machine in a production environment. I'm happy with it. I tried compiling samba-3.0.1pre1 using ./configure --with-ldap=no. However when it gets to linking bin/tdbbackup it fails. This is the error it gives: Using FLAGS = -O -I./popt -Iinclude -I/scratch/build/samba-3.0.1pre1/source/include

I understand that when we join a machine to the domain we get entries in both /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd (config specific). I would like to ask if there is a point at which a PDC doesn't not recognize a machine as belonging to the domain. BACKGROUND In my smb.conf I have the line: log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m So that in /var/log I get machine specific log files. All is

I thought I'd post an observation about a problem I solved so that others might benefit. I must admit I was struggling with the issue for a couple of days, and solved it, though I'm not sure exactly what solved it but I'll share the observations nonetheless, for the benefit of others. PROBLEM BEHAVIOUR I was unable to view domain users as the local admin, even if I authenticated

Hello all, I've gotten the printing subsytem almost working - I think. I am able to install my print drivers to the server IAW the instructions found here: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html The drivers are being installed to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86 IAW /etc/samba/smb.conf by following the instructions above This line specifically seems to do it: [print$] path =

Todd, I experienced a similar problem. I know it sounds trivial... I used the version of Samba that came with the install CD of RHLinux 7.3, and got it running well. Then I read about the bugs and so I upgraded to Samba 2.2.8a. Afterwards, whenever I would make any changes to /etc/samba/smb.conf, I would not see any difference in Samba's behavior. Then I ran testparm and I noticed

Hello list, I am looking to enable samba aio on my Wheezy test box (I have version 4.1.17 from back ports). The output of smbd -b shows that the stable packages for my distro are not compiled using --with-aio-support. It appears that without recompiling I can use vfs objects = aio_pthread to achieve a similar effect? I'm aware that this somewhat dips into Debian specifics, but I figured
