similar to: Linux/Samba for the first time

Fellow List Members: After upgrading our server to RHEL 6 from RHEL 5, I discovered that our linux clients could create files on the share but not delete them unless they first switch to root (su -). This is very odd to me since the share in question is mounted with the non-root user's credentials. The fstab entry is as follows: //192.168.1.2/officefiles /mnt/officefiles cifs

Hi All ! I have a little question about the shell that is run when establishing a connection towards an SSH server. The client(OpenSSH) displays a prompt(as usual) when a command is executed, but my question is, where does the prompt come from. Is it sent by the remote shell or is it handled in the client ?? The reason I ask is that we have developed a product that redirects stdin/stdout/stderr

Hi everybody! I have a problem wich has pusseled me for sometime time. I have put samba on an internal subnet wich is the same as the windowsclients. Everything works great as long as internet is up and running but if internet goes down then the windowsclients can't find the sambaserver or just simly times out when trying to log in. On one installation I have a netgear router wich handels

I have joined samba to a 2003 active directory server. If a samba shared dir is owned by root, how does active directory manage it? more specifically, how are the permissions mapped? administrator to root? i have seen reference to a parameter in smb.conf to "username map", but i don't see reference to it in either of the John Terpstra Samba books so that can't be the bridge

/etc/samba/user_and_group_map.txt contains Windows username/group to linux username/group mappings. In our setup, all users exist in ldap, as do the directory groups, but the linux user and group information (namely uid/gid) do not. This has been setup such that the users connect to samba as the windows username (ex. PRODUCTION+user1) for an authroized group (PRODUCTION+group1), but the files

Hello, when I store a file biger than 2GB to a samba server version 2.2.5 everythink works fine. But when I do that with a server version 2.2.6 or 2.2.7 the saving fails on the 2GB limit. The problem can be seen with windowsclients or with smbclient (any version > 2.2.5). I did some debuging and find that the lseek64 fails. But I didn't find the reason. Regards Klaus Ethgen

Hello, I've installed samba 3.0.24 recently and since then I cannot login on my Windowsclients if they are disconnected. If I have a connection everything is fine. I'm at a loss what else to do. The only hints for offline logons I've found all refer to the use of samba with ADS. I have only one samba server in my network(no winbind). The clients are unchanged to my prior

I had Samba setup up on a debian box with three XP\2000 clients accessing the four samba shares but only allowing three users access to a couple of the folders. These 3 users had dummy accounts set up on the debian box (they never logged onto the debian box). The samba shares live on an external USB hard disk connected to the debian box (formatted as fat32). For non (samba) related reason I

I got an output. But I changed it. But still the same problem. But is there a place with more info about this. From my understanding, am I linking windows rights with the unix rights. But I don?t really understand what I am doing. I just copy the winbind settings, and don?t really bother. But maybe when I understand what I am doing, I can fix the problem myself. Btw the problem is, to my

Thank you, I've seen that commit. But even that seemed to be a STARTTLS inside a plain ldap connection (389).

hello list, is it possible to delete a symlinked directory over a samba-share, without deleting it's content but leaving the link-target as it is and deleting the symlink only? If I interpret samba's behaviour correctly, on deletion samba does not recognize the link as a link but as a directory, descends into it and deletes the content recursively, finally tries to delete the directory

Hai, I have AllowGroups sshlinux, sshwindows Add at least 1 user in the linux group and at least 1 in the sshwindows group. Make sure the sshwindows group have a GID. And make sure the windows user loggin in in ssh als have a UID. AND for both, UID 1000+ ( which is in debian the default PAM setting ) . This is base on a "MEMBER" server. If you do : getent windowsuser You

OK, the problem I am having here is that I have setup winbind, and Kerberos on my Red Hat Linux box to talk to the AD server for user authentication and everything works fine, I can even telnet into the Linux box using the AD account and password and so forth. But when it comes time for me connect to the Linux box from Windows workstation it gives me permission denied msg. I have created a local

I managed to do migration using "classicupgrade". Doing tests with debian buster 2:4.9.4+dfsg-4. For the moment using samba internal dns and sub-domain of ad.advocap.org. Had issue forwarding dns if I used main domain. When it comes to real production will use bind that I understand better but don't want to mess with my other dns servers now. Had a w10 box join samba4 ad

Hi there I'm running a samba cvs server in a windows domain with a W2K PDC. I want to authenticate windows users through ssh. I'm able to login with a windows user to the server on the server himself but when I want to login via a windows client It doesn't work. The connection is refused. Could it be something mis configured in my ssh pam module. This is my pam ssh module PAM

Hi, I am running into a problem that seems to occur to a lot of people, but I haven't yet worked out what the solution is. I have Samba version 3.0.3 installed in a Linux box (let's call it linuxserver) and I want it to run a Windows domain so that I can manage machines and users. I have a Windows box (call it windowsclient, running Windows 2003 Server) that I'd like to join to the

We have been experiencing a debilitating 'bug' in samba where something is causing a flood of the messages seen below in smbstatus and the network drives ( in our case N: ) on all clients become unresponsive. In fact, the entire client becomes unresponsive, essentially making them unusable until samba is restarted. We first saw this and connected it to the following open bug in samba

The shell that executes on the remote server takes input in the form of shell commands before it issues a prompt. When you redirect commands from ssh client to a shell on the remote server there is usually a trailing EOF to tell the shell to exit. If the shell gets an EOF it should not respond with a prompt. Also, some shells decide whether or not to issue a prompt by TTY detection.

Hi! Why don't you check up the neat utility changepassword from http://sourceforge.net. It works just wonderfully for me and also is an Open Source package which can be modified for your needs. Users at my place didn't even know they were taking their files from a Linux system until I changed to name to Linuxserver... ;-) If any help is required on this or installation you can
