I've got Samba 3.0 on a Debian stable system set up to authenticate using an LDAP server (also on the Debian system), and I'm having problems getting home drive mapping to work. What I would like, is that if someone browses to the Samba server (on a win2k PC), they can see all the home drives of all the users on the server and also have read-only access to them. The owner of a home

Hi Igor, I am no samba expert. Reading your email produce 2 thots. 1. If I have not read wrongly, you DID NOT managed to reproduce my scenario cos when you joined Domain A , login as user of DomB , you got the expected result, the Domain B's sambahomepath and drive gets map to the user B. Mine result was this: I joined Domain A, login as user of Dom B, I did NOT get Domain B's

Hi Igor, Thanks so much for troubleshooting all this while and we found out none of our configuration is the problem but the source code. Hope that the samba team will modify to a working code so that I can deploy it. Actually my dateline to deploy is coming soon and I do not know what to do now..... when do you think the code will be modified and be released? Thanks so much for your help.

Hi All, after so much suffering I finally have my rh9 box working with openldap-2.0.0.27-8 and samba-3.0.0-1. I still have some problems as follow: 1 - Once I've joined a machine to the Domain I only can logon using root user; if I try to logon as Administrator the system tells me that username and/or password are not correct. 2 - If I try to use the parameter 'passdb backend =

Many thanks to those who have replied so far - still no luck unfortunately. It would appear that I was ni=ot quite specific enough in the original post re: the OS version I am using - it is Windows 98SE, NOT vanilla 98. As for the login script I am using, I tried originally with the NT/2K script I use for all the other machines (logical as they are all NT/2K!): #### Script starts here ####

Well it took forever (three days actually) to: 1) setup a working ldap server. Unix users now authenticate against the LDAP server perfectly. 2) Setup samba to use LDAP authentication. 3) Get the WindowsXP machines to become members of the domain. Everything seems to be working fine except for 1) roaming profiles, and 2) User's home directory (logon drive) doesn't get

Hi all I have samba 3 . i have configured as PDC, by default the home drive of the user gets mapped in the winodws clients when they login with the username of the server.

Hi! We are using Samba 3 in SuSE-linux 8.2 with ldap. After upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 we got following problem: When users log-in homes-share is not allways reachable, so automatic homedrive-mapping and roaming profiles doesn't work. This doesn't happen everytime, but quite often. And after login users can map their homedrives manually. Users have following attributes in LDAP

I have a Samba 3.0.2 LDAP-based domain that controls my company's three offices. Outside of some minor hiccups (which we are working through - thanks, John Terpstra) I'm only having one "real" difficulty. At random times, a group of my users are "loosing" connection to their home folders. A bit about my setup: Platform: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 "ES"

Hi, After upgrading samba from 3.0.14(Sarge) to 3.0.24(Etch) I cannot save file I have edit anymore on home shares, local shares works. It's possible to create/delete/rename dir/files. But if I try to edit a file and save it windows complains: "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file" Copy a file gives the same error. I have

Hello list, I have been using samba (was last at 2.2.2) sucessfully for nearly two years on my solaris systems as the file server to my pcs. Recently (since last friday) my XP boxes cannot map a drive, and auto-mapped home dirs cause a huge timeout of over 15 minutes! Nothing has changed in my config file, nothing changed on the system. Just to try something, today I upgraded to 2.2.7, but still

Hi I have a little problem to get Samba 3.0.26a to work with a w2k3 ad. If I try to connect to it I get an "Failed to join domain: Operations error".
