similar to: NT User ID with apostrophe

Let me first apologise for asking on two lists, but this problem is (of course) urgent because prior to this afternoon I was unaware of the problem and it has been affecting production users for two days despite me having warned everyone that they should be looking out for possible Samba problems! I have just upgraded most of our samba servers from 1.9.18 (various patch levels) to 2.2.2 on

I am part of a large worldwide Active Directory and all of our individual site NT domain names have an ampersand symbol in them (for example: VWS@ROCHESTER) Samba 2.2.6pre2 and older won't join this domain name, or allow connections to it from users in this domain. The logs state that the domain name is "VWS_ROCHESTER", the code is squashing the @ to an _ causing all

1. There is no Domain Users group on my Samba 3.0.6 server. Does this group need to be manually created? 2. In my smbpasswd file: # Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name root = Administrator nobody = guest pcguest smbguest I can not join a domain using administrator. I must use root. What did I do wrong? 3. Since there is no Domain Users group. I have been adding each user to the admin group on the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Im currently running some tests for a samba/CUPS based print server. The print server is a member of an NT domain and uses winbind to import NT domain users. Users accessing the print server will be not from the same domain but from trusted domains. Everything basically seems to work, once you use sufficiently new versions of cups and samba. (I'm on Debian

Hello, I had problem with %U in include tag in configuration file smb.conf. I try explain the problem. When I connecting from Windows (domain) the samba server doesn't properly include file. E.g.: smb.conf include = smb.conf.%U It include only smb.conf. at first time. I find no information about it so I try write patch for it. Please could you say me, if it's wrong? I have no problem

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've been trying to get dovecot working with postfix with virtual domain setting. I noticed that if I started dovecot with "sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot", everything would work fine. But if I started with "sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot start", I would get the following permission error. I checked "ps -ef | grep dovecot" and didn't find anything different. Sep 29

Hi, we are running Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris8; one client (MS 2000) is not able to map a drive: The tcpdump shows the correct user name <user>@<dom>. smbd -d 3 shows <user>_<dom> and thus the authentication on the PDC fails. Does anybody know why Samba translates the @ into an _? Thanks a lot, Roman __________________________________________________________________ The NEW

After reboot dovecot service need a restart. dovecot service starts as S99dovecot with only S99rc-local coming up. After boot following error is filled up in dovecot.log Aug 28 11:33:12 imap(vuser): Error: open(/home/fetchmail/mailroot/map/dovecot.index.log) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(vuser) egid=500(vuser) missing +r perm: /home/fetchmail/mailroot/map/dovecot.index.log, euid is not dir

Greetings ... Just got bitten in the ass by not been able to join the domain with 2.2.7a Correct me if I am wrong, Jerry did give me a quick explaination. It has to do with usernames and what allowable characters in it for security. Now, I need to fix this, does anybody have a patch/fix or tell me where to look in the source to try and fix this. Thanks. Mailed Lee

Hi I tried several variants of suggestions but I can't get it working dovecot-info.log: =========== Aug 25 17:37:48 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<vuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.xx, lip=192.168.1.xx, mpid=11264 Aug 25 17:37:48 imap(vuser): Info: Post-login script denied access to user vuser dovecot.log ======== Aug 25 17:31:28 imap-postlogin: Error: script-login: Error: user pmp

Hi, I've been working on configuring a new Postfix+Dovecot+Cyrus-SASL +Postgres server to perform multi-domain virtual hosting with non-unix accounts. I believe I have everything working correctly and have tested both the SASL portion and POP authentication through telnet and all works as expected, with one exception. When I authenticate using POP3: # telnet mail.host 110 Trying

Hi, I'm on solaris 9, and using winbind to be a part of our NT domain. I'm trying to determine if it's possible to configure winbind/smb so that when the nt login name matches the unix login name the share is mounted using their unix uid. With none matching account names, username map works fine. It doesn't appear that "johnsmith = johnsmith" works in the username map

Hi all, I've configured postfix with multiple host and virtual mailboxes (main.cf is here: http://pastebin.com/798VVxbv). So I can receive email to vuser at mydomain.tld into /var/mail/vhosts/mydomain.tld/vuser file. Now I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.13-r1; this is my dovecot -n and /etc/dovecot/passwddir/mydomain.tld/passwd: http://pastebin.com/b4xcjj7t - The auth and server

There is a problem with a user mapping a network drive. Sometimes he can map it, sometimes he can't. SAMBA: 3.0-alpha18 UNIX: HP-UX 11.0 rsc is a valid account on the machine he's trying to connect to (entry in /etc/passwd, decent permissions on home directory and all parent directories, etc.) The strange thing is sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't

Hi A security update for samba 3.0.1 - 3.0.22 was posted on samba.org on the 10th July. Does anyone know how to apply to update? Everytime I click on the download link I just get the following text Index: source/smbd/service.c =================================================================== --- source/smbd/service.c (revision 16676) +++ source/smbd/service.c

I try to set up Samba 2.2.4 / LDAP as a PDC and it almost works. The only thing I don't understand is why a domain user can't have a primaryGroupID of 513 (which looks like it should be a safe default). But if I set it, login is denied with an error C0000078 on the client, and something like [2002/06/03 10:32:28, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(314) setting sec ctx (65534, 65534) -

Forgive me, if this has been previously discussed. I researched as best I could. I couldn't find anyone mentioning it. Please treat me as a newbie. I've recently set up postfix, amavisd-new/SpamAssassin, and dovecot. All three utilize a user database in a MySQL db (on the same host). So far, so good. The problem: I wanted amavisd-new to deliver an e-mail above the

Now I could be way of base here, but I run 2 samba web servers with approx 8 people working with them. So my exp is limited. When I got here the boxes were set up with server level security and I had tons of problems with them. When I reformatted the units, I actually joined the samba boxes to the domain and set the security to "domain" I found these steps in an old version of Linux-Mag,
