We are a primarily Linux company with a NIS backend, but we keep a couple "bridge boxes" for Windows users (on a Windows PDC) to connect to their unix accounts and access data. Under Samba 2.2, this was fairly easy with "encrypt passwords = no" turned on. But I can't figure out how to make it work with Samba 3. Does Samba 3 not support a unix passwd backend, or am I

Hi, I've got what I think is a pretty weird problem. I'm using redhat 8.0 and their latest samba rpm 2.2.7. I have a directory /virtuals/SAMARCAN/asterion_caen/hd4008/tiffout with about 600 tiff files in it. When I go this directory and try and delete them, it deletes about 100 of them or so, but while this is going on, it says:

Hi. I've finally got Samba to serve up print drivers for the printers I serve. However, I'm not able to set the default driver options. This is what I'm doing (from a Win2k Pro box) Start->Run \\(samba server) open Printers folder right click printer, Properties Device Settings tab Configure e.g. default paper size Click OK Reopen Properties->Device Settings, and the old paper

I'm running a RedHat 8.0 system. Pretty much stock. But I uninstalled the version of samba, samba-common and samba-client that came with it. Instead I downloaded a tarball from samba.org. I have just finished compiling and installing samba 2.2.7 using the --with-pam --with-smbmount --with-winbind options during configure. I also made the necessary changes to smb.conf,

Now that I have winbind working, life is good. However, I've hit upon a real kick in the pants. As you can see from my email address, we have a convention here of usernames being firstname.lastname. So, when I go to change the owner ship of a file: $ chown chris.palmer myfile Linux thinks I mean user chris, group palmer, and says "invalid group" (there is no palmer group,

Samba 2.2.7a (built from samba RPM's) with LPRng print subsystem. I've been having troubles with some print drivers which fail to work properly when uploaded to the samba server whether devmode gets left as null or a default devmode is used. Some drivers do not leave you in a position where you can "tickle" the driver to generate a devmode with page orientation etc before

Hi folks :-) I've just downloaded Samba 3.0.2a, run ./configure , make and make install. All seemed to go OK but my system still appears to be running the previous 2.2.8a version. New installation seems to have placed smbd, nmbd and swat into /usr/local/samba/sbin (older ver was in /usr/sbin) so I changed the entries in /etc/rc.d/rc.samba to show correct path and now smbd/nmbd are not

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Heads up everyone. The 3.0alpha21 snapshot has been placed on samba.org for download and will be available on mirrors shortly.

Hi, I'm running samba 3.0.1 on SuSE9, server is configured as member server in a NT4 controlled domain. now the problem: it's possible to upload drivers; it's possible to set default settings/ setting printer configuration; Client: add new printer -> network printer -> browse for network printers , and here is the problem, the samba isn't shown as a print server,

I have multiple samba servers. smb1 is my master, smb2 is a slave. My master has this: name resolve order=wins hosts bcast # wins server=127.0.0.1 wins support=yes The Slave has this: name resolve order=wins hosts bcast # wins server=<IP OF Master> wins support=no After 24 hours the Master forgets who the slave is. If I restart the slave he notifies the master who

Hi, I'm part of an organization managing Windows clients with a couple of GNU/Linux servers. We're having some trouble configuring our Samba 3 Debian Linux server. It's just a domain member with authentification done with a Windows AD Domain Controller, it's supposed to be our new print server. The printers have already been set up for lprng. Whenever trying to add a driver to

I'm trying the new RHEL 3 beta, which comes with samba 3 beta 3, and squid 2.5.STABLE3. Both samba and squid seem appropriately compiled... and I'm using the same config files as samba 2.2.8a and squid 2.5.stable3 (which worked), but windows authentication with the helpers is failing. I asked the squid list first, and got "Samba 3 supports Basic and NTLM authentication for Squid and

Hi All, We have been running Samba (3.0.2), CUPS on SUSE 9 Pro for some time now with no problems. This morning however it all seems to have gone wrong, and the users on site can no longer print. When a user prints a document nothing comes out on the printer and further investigation in the Windows printers folder reveals the printers are sat with 'x' amount of jobs on them and constantly

Hello- I have users complaining since we deployed samba 3.0.0 that they can not overwrite existing files. I'm not sure if it was the change to 3.0 which is the problem as other chages also happened during this migration (security=DOMAIN from security=SHARE, XFS file system, new kernel). The clients can delete, rename, and move the file, but they can not update it. All users are in a

I run an IPsec/Freeswan VPN to connect 4 disparet windows LANS. I managed to RTFM until cross-subnet browsing worked (samba 2.0). Having upgraded to 2.2.3 It would seem that this feature is not working. BACKGROUND: originally all sources of information led me to understand that I would need a box running samba behind the firewall/IPsec box as I could not even ping a remote internal IP from the

I'm experimenting with Samba 2.2.7a in my home office-- all is well except only I can open my Word files copied to our Samba share. All other users can only open them "Read-only". Please help me correct this. Thanks, --EdB <tkged@earthlink.net> Here's the smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = Server01 workgroup = TKG os level = 64 preferred master

Hello once again, I've got winbind doing authentication not just for the samba service but also sshd and login. It's great. However, I have to give a fully-qualified username (e.g. "GENEEDINC+chris.palmer") as the username when logging in via these methods. I wondered, Is there any way to get winbindd to insert the domain and the separator for the user, when none is provided? I
