There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd,

Is there a way to automatically enable Remote Desktop from a NETLOGON script? I want to enable Remote Desktop on *a lot* of machines, but I don't want to do it manually. -- Andrew Gaffney

Is there a way to send a message to all users currently logged into a Samba domain controller? The reason why I ask is that I have a Samba 3.x.x primary/backup domain controller setup and as soon as the system monitor detects that the primary domain controller is offline I would like to execute a command to send a domain wide message telling all domain users to save their work to the local

I emailed about this before but didn't get any response. I am desperate. I can mount the share of any computer in the domain. XP (even with sp2), 2000, etc... everything works no problem. When I try to mount a share on a win2003 server, the command completes successfully, but when I try to view the folder, it is not showing. I have tried several variations of commands: mount -t smbfs -o

Hello, Which port Smb4K uses? I am not able to use Smb4K on my server for the local network. Thanks Varun

Hi folks, I'm trying to access a shared printer on a windows machine. The windows box (call it "Doze") is located behind a router/printserver, and is set up thus: -DOZE connects to the printer via the printserver using the PRTMATE port, and then shares the printer via smb -- workgroup CHASS, server name HIS-FACLAB, printer name his-fac-lex -Router forwards all incoming connections

I am trying to get smb4k (KDE) client working. It displays the computers on the network but not the shares (localhost has the only share that shows up :-(). The command line may give a clue. This works: # smbclient -L //compaq but it prompts me for a password but I can just press return to get a list of shares.

My problem appears to be too simple to be addressed in the documentation, being a linux-to-linux problem. This is a mixed home lan, but the majority of file sharing is done between three linux boxes. All three have a public directory, but the one on box1 is mainly used for file sharing. All of this worked well with our old Samba 2 setup, but has now gone to pieces. Two of the boxes are

I just recently upgraded to opensuse 11.4. basic smbd is running mostly fine (some name res-errors, login server missing, (can't connect to Domain service). Notably nmbd won't start due to undefined symbols: /usr/sbin/nmbd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/nmbd: undefined symbol: _talloc_realloc_array. ldd -r shows a bunch of similar undefined symbols (shown further below). my samba rpm

Hi all Recently I found that, in smb4k, if you press ctrl+v after selecting any share, you can view the contents of a share without mounting it. Does anyone know a command-line equivalent for the same? thanx -- Varun Rajan Promoting Ubuntu In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?

While this doesn't relate specifically to Samba, I need to do this in a netlogon .bat file in a Samba domain. In my network, I have a printer hooked to a JetDirect so that it is a TCP/IP printer. Is there a way I can automatically have this printer mapped/added when the user is logged on? -- Andrew Gaffney

I'm using FC4 and can see many Windows shares but cannot connect to any of them. Some of them ask for a username and password some don't and just say I can't connnect. The main share I need access to and have permission to connect to never asks for my username and password (on a Windows box I can access this share). I have used konqueror to see the shares. I don't get anywhere with

Hi, I am using the dovecot imap server on Linux 2.6.8.1. I get the following error when running it: imap(quad): Panic: file index-sync.c: line 25 (index_storage_sync_size): assertion failed: (messages > ibox->synced_messages_count) This usually occurs when I use imapfilter to move messages from one folder to another, while my client (thunderbird) is connected.

Hi, Does anybody know why Windows clients can see shares that are defined by the "include=/etc/samba/smb.%U.conf" option in but Mac OS X and Linux Samba clients cannot see those shares? In other words, I have a bunch of users. Each user has a set of his/her own unique shares on my Linux server that are defined in files called: /etc/samba/smb.User1.conf /etc/samba/smb.User2.conf

after upgrading from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23a I can't get at any of my shares, except public. All worked before. here is my smb.conf file. everytime I try to browse or mount any of the other shares it errors out and tells me the shares dont exist, this is with konqueror, winxp, or smb4k. Any suggestions appreciated. [global] log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m restrict anonymous = no ldap ssl = No

Greetings, I have a home network setup with a broadband router sharing a connection to a MDK Linux machine and an XP Pro machine. The XP box is setup as master. At first I could access the xp machine from the linux box only. I changed the smb.conf file and uncommented the [tmp] section and could access that directory from the xp box. Now I can't mount the shared directories on the xp

I don't know the final answer BUT if you have something simmilar to a cyber-cafe LAN (I mean, users use all the computers, and maybe some users come back to login with the same name) then you have to install a printer only once in a computer, loging as the administrator and installing drivers. Then what users will have to do is JUST add the printer without installing. I know that it's

Okay my smb.conf file is correct. Firewall is configured correctly to allow Samba on local network. smbd and nmbd are running. Her computer still cannot connect to my printer share. I read my Samba version wrong its actually 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1, here is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME realm = SHAUN server string = Samba Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = No log file =

I already have an existing network that is managed by a samba PDC. In the next few days, I will be linking another small LAN to the existing one over the internet using openvpn. I've been told that samba (through no fault of its own) doesn't work very well through a VPN. For the new network, there will be a box with 2 NICs: one for the internet and one for the LAN. This box will use
