Hi, Does anyone know of a document that gives details on how to set up Bind 9 and DHCPD 3.x so that dns is updated when clients log on? I saw this is not in the howto collection (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727) so I was kind of hoping someone else has some notes. I would be greatfull for any tips and links. Tarjei

Hi, I'm about to migrate a lot of files from a windows server to a new, shiny samba-server. I just got a small problem : What is the best way to do this? I'e tried rsync, but it croaks on some files with names like "somethign :some.eml" the same does cp. What I'm wondering about, is has anyone else had these problems, and if so, how did you solve them? Do you have a

Hi, I seem to remember somewhere that Samba 3 can be configured so that you do not need real users for computers, that these users only exists in some tdb database. How is this possible? Can someone describe how to do this? Many thanks, Tarjei Huse

Occasional problems arise where the .pst file just will not copy from the users profile on the server. Doesn't seem to be related to the file size. Has anyone had issues with outlook and Samba PDC - (win2k clients). Solutions that have worked have ranged from complete loss of the .pst file to restarting users profile from scratch. thanks Alex Genna

Hi, I'm trying to remove a printjob that is currently blocking the printque for one of my users. I've tried to access the printer from the user and delete it there, but this doesn't help. Cups does not show the job at all. I therefore tried to access the printspool via sambas net printq command. With net, I can find the job, and the jobid, but when I try to use net rap printq

And you have user and machine accounts that work? I had actually a big problem joining a Samba PCD from a Windows XP machine. However I don't remember what exactly I had to do to make it work. (I never changed the Samba settings, just fiddled around in Windows.) //Anders > Yeah, all applied but still no luck > -----Original Message----- > From: Anders Widman

High there ... I cannot join my Samba PDC any longer with my XP-machines, I mean I'm not be able to create new machine accounts. The existing machine-accounts in the tdb-database works properly, all the existing XP-machines are joined without any problems. Only it isn't possible to joint the Samba PCD with new machines... My first Samba PDC-Configuration with this tdbsam as the passwd

Hi, everybody. I have installed samba recently and right now i try to make it a PDC for several XP clients. I had no problems making it PCD and configuring it overall (thanks to quite good docs). Then i created a single test user and had the following problem: this user has perfect first login, he can change settings, save them to server and XP even decides quite good, what to store on server,

Does anyone know how to fix this? **** The following error occurred attempting to join the domain MYDOMAIN: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. **** I'm migrating from samba2.2.8a to Samba3, with samba2 I didn?t have this problem, and is almost the same conf. This is my smb.conf [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba Server

Hi I'm getting some instability on my samba 3.0.1 installation. Here's the backtrace I found in my log: Feb 2 19:10:41 grisen smbd[26068]: [2004/02/02 19:10:41, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(857) Feb 2 19:10:41 grisen smbd[26068]: audata1 (192.168.1.121) couldn't find service utskrifter Feb 2 19:10:41 grisen smbd[26068]: [2004/02/02 19:10:41, 0]

Hi, I'm trying to build a PDC and BDC to elimenate Windows NT on a network and have load balancing and fault tolerence for users. I've compiled samba 2.2.4 on two servers, working with openldap 2.0.23 with a master and a slave. Replication on LDAP servers works fine. I've set up a domain controller and wanted to set the other server as BDC in case the PDC goes down. Each time i put

Hi, I would like to make Sambaadmins aware of the simple and powerfull program dnsmasq. It makes setting up a caching dnsserver + dhcp-server that maps local machines to the local domain a breeze, something that is missing in the samba howto collection (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727). I've been running it for two months now, so I felt it was time to recomend

Hi, I've set up a domain where some of my users are using mandatory profiles to logon to the network. However, I got one problem that just doesn't go away. When my users log on, they do not get the correct keyboard setting - even if it is the same as configured for the mandatory user + all other users on the client machine. Instead the users get the us-keyboard settings. Also the users

Hi, I experiemented a bit with the guest account parameter the other day, and I some questions: a) It seems to me that if you turn this parameter on, the user will be used when someone browses the domain without beeing a domain member, is this a true observation? (Don't answer this one, I checked the manual and it said yes). b) It also seems that the guestuser must have a sambaSid that

Hi, Having set up a few Samba-ldap installations, I always end up with the feeling that OpenLDAP ACLs is what took time. The following patches / scripts might help someone else. I would appreciate some input on the access.conf.pl file so that it is even better tuned. Mr Tournier and the sambateam: Please include the files you find usefull. The attached files are: slapd.conf.pl : A simple

Hi I have installed samba 3.0.7-1 on debian sarge. I have configure it as standalone. I put a share as follows: [share] writeable = yes browseable = yes public = yes path = /home/samba The permission on /home/samba is as follows: chmod 777 /home/samba Now on my windows XP, the share is listed when i browse. I am also able to copy a file to the share. But i cannot open the file and it just

Hi I am trying to use wins-support in samba-2.0.6 as a WINS-server for severel subnets. On one subnet there is an NT-PDC server, serving its own domain. I cannot understand why, but it does not register itself as a PDC (type #1c). The domain is called SI, and the PDC is SI_NTSURF. This is all I get in wins.dat on this server: "IS~SI_NTSURF#00" 943540525 192.38.49.60 64R

Hi, I've finally gotten my LDAP password backend up and running, and finally figured out the SID 1000/1001 thing for Samba admin. However I'm unable to join the workstation to my domain. Using any random user in the WXP dialogue, I get the "Access is Denied" error. Fair enough. Using the user with sambasid and sambagroupsid s-*-1000/s-*-1001, I get the error "The Username

Hi All, I've been reading *lots* of pages and guides everywhere about setting up samba as a PDC, mainly the 8 part guide by John Terpstra. One common thing I found in all the guides I read were unstated dependancies on the Samba version. Tried it using 3.0.9 and it didn't have any rights (I found something somewhere saying this eventually). Then tried it using Debians default of

Hi all, it is possible that converting the NT4 PDC to Win200x Active Directory. And converting to OpenLDAP directory? Does such an converter exist? Thanks, Roland
