Hello, we run samba 2.0.6 on Solaris2.6 and use it together with clearcase (version 3.2.1). Sometimes the checkout of files from a clearcase NT-client hangs and probably causes clearcase to destroy the viewstore. In the samba logfile of that client I found the following message: [2000/02/17 09:29:49, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2401) call_nt_transact_ioctl: Currently not

Is possible to store the Group Policy Container (GPC) on a OpenLDAP? Is possible to store the Group Policy Template (GPT) on a Samba share? The idea is to manage windows desktop policies using the new Win200x GPOs without using an Active Directory. Any other hints?

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 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'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

Hello, i have a red hat 7.2 system and set the environment variable CC='kgcc'.

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 have the following question: Joining Win200x as ADS/DOMAIN, I see no problems for windows users to get authenticated even if they don't have local accounts. However, with the same samba (3.06) joining NT4 SP6 domain I see that only users that also have entry in /etc/passwd are been authenticated. I followed winbindd traces and saw that there is no problem communicating with

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 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

Hello, I am seriously considering switching over my authentication system from the standard passwd/smbpasswd, to a LDAP-based system, that can authenticate *BOTH* UNIX and Windows systems and users. Here's a couple questions that I have, and I would greatly appreciate some answers. ;-) Will the schema file used by Samba also support UNIX users attempting to authenticate? In other words, can

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''m just wondering if there are any speed or stability differences between running a system directly of a LVM partition versus a xvd partition? Basicly: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/LVM/root,xvda,w'', ] vs disk= [ ''phy:LVM/root,hda1,w'',] Any tips? I tried searching the archives but I didn''t find anything. Kind regards, Tarjei

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

I have searched through the lists and I am wondering if I am the only one doing this kind of set-up.. Anyway question is as follows: In my ldap server I have normal posix accounts with plain text password that are sorted out by a sasl-regex in the slapd.conf and

All, I'm looking for a bit of a peer review on the following system concept. The company I'm working with has an office in the USA, and one here in JAPAN. They currently have a single domain in the States let's call it US running a win2000 PDC. They've asked me to set up a second domain here in Japan let's call it JAPAN. Since the office here is fairly small I'm planning

Hello all, My network is configured like this: - a local network, with Windows Domain - a DMZ network for our servers We communicate between both by proxyarp. Because we need to share folders with our servers in DMZ, these servers are using samba.

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

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
