similar to: w2k/XP won't join samba pdc

Hello everybody! I finally managed to set up a Samba 3.0.1 PDC that ran perfectly in the test-environment. Problems arose, when I installed it in a real bureau network. On a prepared w2k client that was already a domain member one could log on to the domain with the administrator's account, but trying to add other w2k clients failed with error msgs like: "Domain controller not

Hello everybody! Obviously Samba as a PDC and Fileserver for w2k clients is not as easy as I first thought. Soon after setup and integration in a network a problem with the shares and MS Word appeared. Any time a file is opened with M$ Word directly from a share and edited it can't be saved. The M$ user gets the msg that the file is write-protected and on the samba side the file

Hi samba-technical, i installed samba propely and configured it as a domain server of my LAN , and at the same time as a gateway (with a firewall) to the Internet. Initially before configuring the firewall and connecting to the internet, samba was working properly. But after connecting to the intrenet and activating the firewall samba couldn't work i'll be gratefull for your advice

i'm running samba-3.0.2 on a redhat 9 box with windows 2003. I've got a samba pdc up and running. I want a user to have domain admin privilidges. With samba 2.2.8a and windows 2000 this was easily accomplished with the following entry in [global] domain admin group = garvald this had the effect that garvald had full administrator rights upon logging into windows2000 through the samba

Hi All, I would like to know how I should configure samba to use the standard linux user accounts and passwords for user authentication instead of those in the smbpasswd file? Thank you, Dan

I've download a PDC guide from IBM's website, https://www6.software.ibm.com/dw/education/esdd/samba/?x=50&y=6. I've follow the description line by line, but I can't join the domain from a windows Xp professional computer. Windows Xp answer with following error message... "Can't connect to a domain controller for the domain Fah-Technet" I can ping the computer

Hi Alexander, The kind of firewall i have uses the basic iptables which came with the installation CDs of linux-SuSE. I installed SuSE 8.1 which has a firewall that has to be activated. But now, u know, i can't find the file containing the iptables so as to adjust the rules. When i try "iptables -L" in console mode i can see all the rules. I think i need to add some new rules

Hi, I am trying to get an xp machine to join a samba 3.0 pdc domain. I keep getting the following error below. I can view the pdc shares with no problem. Can anyone point me in the correct direction on getting this fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The domain name homenet might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with

Hi! First of all, I have to admit that it is my first post on this list, so please be lenied toward me, if I don't obey some of the rules ;-) I'll try my best :-) I am just trying to get my samba-server work as a print server by using CUPS. The OS of the server is Gentoo Linux and I'm using samba-3.0.9-r1. The clients are win 2k/xp home. I can already see my shares (files and

Hello everybody! I need help with a curious problem referring to Word and Samba. I've installed a network with a Samba 3.0.2 PDC and fileserver and about 8 Windows Clients ranging from w2k prof (members of the domain) to XP home. The XP Home users have an account within the domain and so can "mount" the Samba share as a local drive on their computers. All of the users are members

Hello everybody! New to Samba (and the list) I am trying to set up a Samba PDC for a small enterprise network on a Debian Woody (3.0) system with a vanilla 2.4.24 kernel and the Debian package of Samba 3.0.1 and Swat (Debian Versions 3.0.1-2). I ran into various problems and could solve most of them during the past two weeks (hooray!). Most of the problems were related to congestions of user

Hi All, I'm having a problem with cross subnet browsing and name resolution across an openvpn tunnel. i've found quite a few people who've had the same on mail lists but none of their fixes have worked. The spec of the setups at both ends of the tunnel are as follows: OS - CentOS 5.5 Samba Version 3.5.4 OpenVPN Version 2.0.9-1 Each server is configured in gateway mode with two NICS,

What about your openvpn config? The tun net must have an entry in your hosts allow. If you work with briding the remote network has to be the same subnet as the local!? Bridging is the best way to have a remote net integrated. I have one logging in form Berlin on my Samba-Domain.

Setup: Samba3beta3 domain (NEWDOM) with a single PDC. No winbind activated. Uses smbpasswd for user authentication. Windows 2K AD (OLDDOM) domain with two DCs. I've been struggling to get a trust established one way with these two domains. Since I have a native W2K AD domain, I have to use AD domain tools to establish the trusts. I followed the documentation regarding creating a

Im having a problem adding machines to a domain. All has been fine until today. This is the output when I try to add a machine (WinXP). It appears to be looking for a root user in my LDAP directory but isnt finding it (because there isnt a user 'root' there). User 'Administrator' exists. Must there be an instance of 'root' in Samba LDAP backends? I've ploughed through

Okay, this is near the end of a marathon day trying to get this linux machine up and running as a PDC. At this point I am unable to get a Windows 2K machine to join the domain, it responds with "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". Samba log shows the following: rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c: _samr_set_userinfo(2937) _samr_set_userinfo: 2937

Hi, I'm back on the list ;-) I seem to be having some trouble getting W2K machines to join the domain in 3.0.1rc2. I haven't looked at this in detail since 2.2.8a but it looks like the account gets created in LDAP and then it has trouble setting the password appropriately. I believe this is the relevant part of the log: api_rpcTNP: samr op 0x3a - api_rpcTNP: rpc command:
