When a new version of Samba is posted, is the HOWTO COllection updated, or does the Samba Team rely on the community to spot anachronisms and report them as bugs? I'm struggling with a new install of Samba that's more complex than I've tried before, and I keep the two Samba dead-tree books open on my desk -- but if the online docs in the tarball are more current than the books,

Sun has changed the organization of their web site a lot over the years, and I just noticed that a URL included in the HOWTO is broken now. Perhaps there are others as well. In section 39.6.2 "Winbind on Solaris 9" (p. 503), Solaris 9 users are directed to download a patch from the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112960;rev=14 But the Sun

I have a very simple setup on a Solaris 8 server, running Samba 3.0.1 (see smb.conf below). A desktop PC running Windows 98 (SE?) happily connects to and prints to my one shared printer, but an XP Pro laptop takes a loooong time to install the local driver and then just says "Access denied, unable to connect". I already told it to use a client driver and disabled spoolss. Here's

I follow the procedure for the integration of Samba 3.0.13 in Ads environement, but when I enter the command "net ads join -U administrator" system return me this error: ------errrrrrror-------- morgoth:/usr/local/samba/bin# ./net ads join -U administrator administrateur's password: [2005/04/01 16:34:48, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(191) ads_connect: No such file or directory

Hi all, I installed a samba 3 PDC with LDAP. I created a system account in LDAP (smbldap-useradd -m testuser). When I try to login on my system as testuser (ssh testuser@PDC-SRV.DOMAIN.ORG) I get the following message: ssh: connect to host PDC-SRV.DOMAIN.ORG port 22: Connection refused. However, if I connect to my system using with the root account(ssh root@ip_address) that successes. Would you

I'm scratching my head, and thinking that I overlooked something: how do I tell my Sun compiler (on Solaris 8 2/02) to look for files in /usr/include, etc.? For some reason -- a steam-rollered environment variable, I guess -- the compiler won't look there. I get lots and lots of "cannot find include file" messages whether ot not I try ot use --with-pam or --with-winbind. I

I am getting errors when I try to start smbd which say that port 445 is already in use, but nothing else is using it. In the log, the full error is: -----start log.smbd---- [2004/02/02 11:03:53, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(662) bind failed on port 445 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.

I asked this question a while ago, but never got any response. Since then, I've researched the problem some more, so I can give a much more concise description of what's happening. I'm mounting the home directories of the users upon login (using pam_mount) from the Windows server. However, none of the users can run X Windows. It says there's a problem with the .Xauthority file.

Folks, I like criticism! Please give me lots of it - particularly in respect of the updated "Samba-Guide". It should now be up on the Samba mirror sites. You can download it from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf I have incorporated all feedback into this book. Did I get it right this time or should I give up? So far, not a word of feedback is deafening! Is it

On page 206 of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection PDF, in the seventh paragraph, the word "use" appears to be missing from the sentence, "When Samba is being used as the PDC and BDC the of an LDAP..." -- but that could just be me. -wde -- Will Enestvedt UNIX System Administrator Johnson & Wales University -- Providence, RI

I seem to recall the existence of a utility to convert (dump?) TDB files into text format so one could peruse the contents. I also seem to recall that one could do the reverse - build a TDB from a text file. Is this true? Does this utility exist? Would I have to hack my own out of the TDB code in Samba? Best Diego

Hi group I followed the how to to install SAMBA directly from the website. I download the latest source file,compile, and install it. My question is where does the smb.conf resides? I look all the samba directories and i don't find it. Should i make it from a scratch or load the one that comes with the distro(RH9).Also on SWAT what can cause this a error "connection refused when

Well.. okay. Only printers. I am still having issues (pains, actually) getting my pritner shares to work from either Linux OR Windows 2000. One of the things I see here is that the majority of users use CUPS as the printing daemon. From my previous Unix experieince, I have gravitated towards BSD as my printing daemon. Could this be the reason I am having trouble> Does Samba work better with

Hi, I'm trying to get Solaris running Samba 3.0.9 to join an Active Directory Domain. Are there steps on configuring Kerberos, and using the "NET" utility if there is one for Solaris?

Hi! I upgraded our sambainstallation today since it got into problems with Windows ADS 2003. So I installed all suse rmps for 9.2 (samba 3.0.14) and tested with a few windows boxes and everything works perfektly. No more strange errormessages in the logs about not finding existing users. Now to the problem, when I came back to my own computer, MacOs X 10.4, i suddenly can't use any

Hi, We are facing problems while configuring SAMBA ADS on Sun Solaris system. After installation and configuration we found that there is no ADS support on the version samba-3.0.21a-1-noads-sunos5.9-sparc.pkg.gz. Do you have any ADS support package for Sun Solaris 9.

Hello people! I'd like to know about a practical guide which helps to migrate users from a perfect working Samba PDC running with tdbsam backend to a new backend to LDAP. Does "pdbedit -i xxx -e xxx" make all the job? My network is growing and I need a directory service to help find people so I'd like to see a LDAP server running well with Samba without rebuild my user

Hi, all. I'm trying to create a PDF queue... or, rather, I already have a homebrew solution I hacked together with an lprng filter, and it doesn't work too well. The solution at www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html, which uses the smb.conf and "print command" paramaters, appears to be much more elegant, but has one major shortfall: I don't see any way to get the

Hi all, I'm having problems trying to configure samba with the lastest source.
