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 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 guys, me again. Please, I would like to know if this is a bug/ incompatibility with windows 2003 server. I would like that someone that has accounts stored on windows 2003 server make a test and try to change a password of one of those users from a linux box using smbpasswd -r <w2k3_host> -U username. For me it always complains about invalid username or password. This work if I change a

Hi, I want to ask you, if you release an RPM package for samba 2.2.2 for Redhat 6.2 too, and not only for version 7.1 Thanks a lot Tomas Zeman

I am running several samba servers (2.2.3a and 2.2.7) in various places as pdcs. Everything seems to be running smoothly, but I can't find any way of restricting access to only those uses who have logged on to the domain. Is this possible? ie at the moment, any user can map a drive to \\server\share, put in a valid user/password pair and have access to that share without going through any

I can get authentication to work on linux 7.1 with samba 3.0alpha15 if I make valid users = @"INS+Domain Users", but if I try to set valid users to just a single user: valid users = INS+DavidSha, it fails to give me access. I see the following in log.winbindd. It looks like it is looking for a domain called DavidSha?!? My winbindd separator is +. Can somebody please respond to this.

Is it possible to have samba adminitrator account with non zero uid? I have a problem with email if admin is root. creating alias in postifx is somehow not a good option in my case. Tks. --beast

Hi, I'm using the latest version of Samba in (kind-of) an embedded environment, which means 'glibc, but no shadow/pam/md5' my problem is is that samba doesn't give up root priviledges. I connect as an unpriviliged user, but the smbd associated with the connection is still associated with root. Has anyone had this problem? It's very undesirable, as all the access controls are

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

This is a question before i go into production with my setup. Thanks everyone for the assistance i received while setting up Samba. I am going to have an AS/400 mount an NFS directory on my linux server and it is going to be constantly writing to this share. Also about 400 users are going to be connected to this same share through samba, accessing via windows NT. Has anyone heard of any issues

I can't seem to be able to mount any windows shares all I get is this error smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device) a quick search on google leads me to believe it is broken, can anyone help me get this fixed?

Hi, i was searching in the source code, but i didn't find any MAX_MPX or something like that. How can i change MAX_MPX_REQUESTS that smbd can handle?

I've read that Samba can be a WINS server or a WINS client, but not both. However, wouldn't Samba, when acting as a WINS server also be a WINS client in the sense that it will examine its own WINS database for NETBIOS name resolution? It just wouldn't make sense if it didn't. Maybe the reference I read is more for the purpose of exposing the mutual exclusivity of the "WINS

All, Does anyone know anything about librsync, and where it is currently maintained = on the web? It apparently is/was a samba project, but I'm not sure how it relates. The authors are listed as: Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org> but I suspect someone else did the 0.9.5.1 update, because only 0.9.5 is = available on the rproxy site

I am running samba-2.0.7 on solaris 2.6 in domain mode Windows clients are 98/nt/w2k I was just wondering if 2.0.7 supports NTLMv2 I am asking this because lately some w2k clients are having issues with authentication... how do i check what if when client is requesting SMBnegprot to the server what NTLM version samba server is responding thanks Abdul Javid

In the interest of not having password divergence between NT and unix I've got everything authenticating against and ldap database. samba password updates are not a problem - i just use the unix password syncing features. however the other direction is proving to be a problem. I can rig pam to update both passwords with pam_ldap and pam_smbpass on machines that run samba. On some machines I
