Hello, I have to migrate a network with a samba 2.2 PDC to a new host with a Samba 3.0 PDC. Samba 3.0 is up and running now. The only thing that makes me nervous is how to migrate the profiles of the old PDC to the new PDC. Unfortunately usernames/machine names will also change. The profiles are per user (not per machine) and will stay this way. The clients are win2K pro, winXP pro. Is it

dear list. this question is rather related to samba, although not exclusively. I consider it related enough to ask here, please apologise if you don't. we are in the process of setting up a samba domain at my company. a goal is to replace our current nt4 servers. another goal is to provide an easy way to access the documents on the lan (and peoples home directories) from 'outside'

Greetings All, I am trying to use MySQL4 as the backend for authentication through Samba 3.0.0. When I finally got it to compile ok (damn that mysql/mysql.h) I cannot get it to work. Below you'll find the log transcript from when I try to connect with any client -- smbclient in this case. And yes, I have the MySQL-part setup correctly using the example mysql.dump from the dist and the user

I'm reading the samba-howto-collection and just got a doubt. Even using mysql or ldap I still have to have one user for each username I insert in pdbedit (smbpasswd/ldap/mysql/etc) ? There's no way to automatize it just like the add user command to add machines in the passwd? regards thiago lima.

Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same

Question about changing file permissions in Windows XP when running samba as a PDC. If you hit Properties and go to the security tab, instead of listing the proper group/user names it lists the full SID. Is there a way to get Windows XP to map these to the proper user/group names? I am using LDAP as a backend with Samba. Thanks. -- James

hi, I am quite new on using Samba and sorry maybe ask a silly question here. I set up simple Samba server on Fedora3 using the samba rpm package comes with fedora3( version 3.0.10-1.fc3).

Everything goes fine so far, except that for some windows user, some times, on browsing some directories, it takes extremely long time to display the

Hello to everyone, my problem to many of you will be quite simple to others quite hard (like me) I have had no previous experience with webmin of samba so im kinda new to this.

I''m pretty smart, and was once regarded as pretty network and computer savvy. But the world has obviously passed me by! I have a server in a colocation facility, and I was recently hit by a bill for overage; I used more bandwidth than I expected, and I must pay. So now, I want to bother with packet shaping on the server. The *most* important thing is to clamp bandwidth to the 1Mbps

Hello, I'm testing the performance of Samba share when a windows client copy a directory that contains many small files (8-18KB). From the windows client during the transfer the speed goes up and down to 0KB/sec, so it's not stable. I have run the same test on a Windows server share (on the same hardware as the Samba share) and the transfer speed is stable, about 404KB/sec which is

Hello all.... I need help and I'm just about at my wits end. First let me state that I can not give logfiles in email since the Samba servers are on the secure side of my world and contain sensitive information. If by my stating my problem, I am hoping that someone will point me in certain directions that I have not tried. We have two samba servers on our site. Both are running Samba 3.0.0.
