Just wondering if anybody out there actually downloaded and got my Wpkg utility working. I'd like to hear what people think about it. Not having a progect page for it and all doesn't make that easy. Hmm. Maybe i'll set up a sourceforge page. Anyways, anybody using it? (for those not aware, it's a utility to automatically install software on windows computers, without any specific

A month ago I mentioned on this list work on a automated package deployment tool for Windows systems, which is server agnostic. At the time, I didn't have the time to put it up in a place for public consumption. I do now. The utility is named wpkg (punny isn't it?) It's nothing more than a simple .js (jscript) file which needs to be run on Windows, from a directory containing three

Having a bit of trouble understanding, or getting, "ldap passwd sync" working. I assume, setting it to Yes, would make it issue a change password command to the ldap server, just like pam does, ldappasswd does, or any other ldap program. Right?

I'd like to thank the Samba team for making our switch off of Active Directory amazingly smooth. We're a small company, only 30 desktops, but things went great for us. Actually, nobody even notices the Windows DC is even gone! The Exchange migration that went along with this wasn't as hassle free though. =( It's really refreshing to be able to SSH into our file server and see

I am running Samba on a box serving a network of 30 clients, and 2 MS SQL 2000 servers. The SQL servers are members of the domain, and use NT authentication for connections and such. For the most part, this works fine. However, it seems that every now and then, pretty randomlly, NT authentication is failing for these services. Errors returned are pretty typical of DC-not-working problems: Login

I am runnign a Samba 3.0.1 PDC, serving a domain named FEEDBACK. Joined to this domain we have about 30 workstations and 2 Windows 2000 Servers. These servers run MS SQL Server 2000. SQL Server is using Windows authentication. This allows users/applications on our LAN to connect to the server using Windows authentication. This process has been "flakey" for the last month, with

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a Samba printer set up. What I have is a postscript capable HP laserjet. It actually has IPP/HTTP and stuff on it. I need queueing to work, so my clients can't print to it directly, so what I want to do is: Get the printer set up on a central CUPs server: done. Printing quality is perfect from Unix machines. Thank you postscript! Have samba print to

This morning one of our employees came into us noting that W2K said their password was invalid. It seemed to have changed on it's own. At that time LM/NT passwords in LDAP were the following: EE899DB29A5F1658AAD3B435B51404EE 62D7C4362BDB83A95BB28244BD9AF321 I made a note of them, and then changed the password using smbpasswd, to the same thing that it should have already been. At this point

Our computers in our office ceased being able to print to a shared cups printer today. Could not find the cause. Seems the smbd processes are dying. Below is the stack trace produced by gdb bt full.

Hello! I am using samba running as a PDC at our school. I have read many docs and howtos but I can't find anything about Concurrent logins. I would be a nice feature becouse I don't want my users to login more than one time. Is there anyone that does have a clue?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with using the Dfs functionality within Samba. I've been searching for any performance information and or documentation regarding Dfs in particular load balancing i.e. 1) How does it load balance? Is it some sort of round robin? 2) Is there a limit to the number of servers that can used in the load balance? 3) How many requests per

Hi, I have a linux box set up with Samba 3.0 and have configured my shared drives. What I am trying to do is store a MS SQL data base on my Samba share. I can see the drive from my SQL machine but when I try create the database there I get errors like inconsistent file names etc. Fist can this be done and if so how? Thanx Warren

Hi, I'm trying to use Samba 2.2.1a (SuSE 7.2) as a PDC with W2K workstations. Most of it is working well. Except for: USRMGR.EXE - unusable. Reports "The stub received bad data" when trying to connect to the domain. SRVMGR.EXE - Connects to domain. Shows all entities in domain and properties of them. If I select <synchronize domain> on the Samba PDC it gives error "The

Good morning everyone. I wanted to ask the people on this list who are currently using roaming profiles with samba 3 how it is working? I worked a little with roaming profiles with 2.2.8a, but it was not working as well as I wanted it to and im hoping that samba 3 roaming profiles are working pretty well. Our network here is really calling for roaming profiles to be a major option here. Our

I would like to have winbind map all of my AD users to their full user@REALM form on the Linux domain members. I'd like lookups to be properly canonical. Is this possible? 'getent passwd user' should return: user@REALM.NET:*:1786588783:1786588745:Mr Man:/home/whatever:/bin/bash I'm finding my options are to either have the local names be plain, unprefixed, or prefixed, but

I'm having the hardest time trying to come up with the optimal configuration with NSS Winbind support. I want it to work right offline. That is, name lookups shouldn't take 30 minutes to time out or lock the system up. And if the name lookup is for a local name, I want Winbind to be 100% out of hte picture. I've tried this, without much luck: passwd: compat [SUCCESS=return] winbind

I just upgrade from dovecot 1.2 to dovecot 2.0.16. I use dovecot as a local IMAP server to archive email from my corporate email account (on Exchange). I don't have any automated archiving, I just periodically move messages from my Exchange inbox to the IMAP inbox. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8 using Entourage as my mail client. In the previous version of dovecot, the Received date of the

I seem to recall havbing asked this before but I can't find it by searching. What's the right way to clone a Function? I need to save off the text at a certain point and spit it out later, after other optimizations have run. But I need to spit out the original text, not the optimized version. What would be the most effective way to do this?

[VS] This bug is still buggy. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=892 i only tested it with the mysql passwdbackend and the tdbpasswd. tdb is ok, and does not have this error. Mysql does, but i can get the user list, so when i fire up NT4 usermanager i get all the users and groups.. the stub received bad data error, pop ups when you querty just 1 user, at the moment i'm busy makeing

say that I have a script that uses read.csv to read a textfile in a certain directory, then transforming the data a bit and then spit out a new file in an output directory. Is it possible to make this universal so the same procedure is made for all files in a certain directory and also make it spit out files that changes names for each file that is made (so the same output.csv is not
