The problem is when they login they get a message stating that their home dir doesnt excists. How can i map their home dir that is on a w2k member server and how can i create their home dir on the RH9 box when the domain users login?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I'm on the way to implement samba with ldap on five servers (each owns a different nt-domain) and a master server which maintains the central user database which gets replicated to all the other servers. Now I have just one more problem, namely homedirs. I want every user to have a homedir to store for example his profile. This has to

I've setup a linux box with winbind as a member in Win2003 AD and everything works fine. I want to share the Win2003 users home dirs with the linux box, i.e. when a user logs into the linux box, after he's authenticated through winbind, he should have his home dir from the Windows box, how can I do that?? Obviously I have to use CIFS to mount the dirs, but how do I maintain file and dirs

I have a single AD domain with 4 domain controllers (win2k-not native mode). I want all users to login to AD (clients from 98 to XP - no linux clients yet). This is a school network with 4 campuses connected by wireless links (hence the 4 domain controllers) and I would like to put a samba server at each location for student home directories (basically a NAS setup to start with). There will

I took your advice late in the day Friday and pointed my urpmi sources at cooker. It took care of the Perl upgrade. I'm hoping to find time for configuration against the Openldap server I built. I really can't believe the Mandrake doc's got me up and running so quickly. I even created accounts in ldap for fellow staff memebers, including the boss, and had them log in. Love the

Hi All, Can anybody point me to a site where there is good up to date documentation on how to use Win2000 authentication for a samba server? Thanks, Craig

Hey guys, sorry for the (no subject) message. I copy/pasted from a previous email and missed the subject. I really appreciate the quick feedback! I'm hoping to produce a series of blog posts that are guaranteed to work (on Debian 9 at least) and produce the ultimate Samba-powered Active Directory environment.

I actually spent the entire last day getting 'ad' backend to work. Adding 'idmap config SAMDOM : backend = ad' and related lines in the client's smb.conf results in `getent passwd` ... Use : getent passwd username Check if wbinfo -u works also. As tip, if you try these. id username getent passwd username wbinfo -u | grep username If all work and show your usename,

I am using PAM and pam_smbpass.so with Samba 2.999 (Debian sid package). If, in /etc/pam.d/samba, I set session required pam_smbpass.so then login fails, and the log says: [2002/08/04 15:43:26, 0] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_error_handler(73) smb_pam_error_handler: PAM: session setup failed : Module is unknown [2002/08/04 15:43:26, 1] smbd/session.c:session_claim(103) pam_session

Hi, I have setup /etc/pam.d/system-auth as below. But when I login to the Linux Box from KDE3, I get a prompt saying I don't have write access to the HOME. Then got kicked out. In NT Domain, when I double click on the Samba machine, I get network path not found. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

I'm trying to set up a new fileshare, to replace an aging NT4 machine we've been using for far too long. I'd like to run Linux (RedHat 7.3) on the machine. Basically, I'm trying to create a fileshare "files" that people can transparently log in to from NT4 and Windows 2000 workstations. My boss has approved the use of Linux for the server, but only if I can make it

Hello all, I've installed samba-3.0.1 on a linux machine that has a role of domainmember in an NT domain. What I would like is that there would be nothing to do on the linux machine when adding a user in teh NT domain. For that I have started and configured winbind that works fine. But I want to create a share for each user on the NT domain. I have in my smb.conf a [homes] share, but when a

Hello, I am trying to auto create and mount home directories using a GPO, as per https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders. I currently have home directories being created, through the use of pam_mkhomedir.so. with 'obey pam restrictions = yes' in my smb.conf file. I have also setup the share permissions and Windows ACLs as per the above link. Unfortunately, even though the

Dear all, Autodir is for creating home directories and group directories much better then pam_mkhomedir as pam_mkhomedir does suffer some limitations like, 1) There are some applications which never need to authenticate users But they need home dirs -- for example mail servers configured to use home dirs for mail delivery and storage but not configured to use pam. 2) Some do use other ways to

Hi. I'm not subscribed to the list, so if you can help, please e-mail me or CC me in the response. I've been using Samba for quite a while, and just set up a 2.2.2 server with winbind support. Console logins and SMB access work fine, wbinfo -t reports "Secret is good", and wbinfo -r domain+ntuser shows the right group number. In fact, the UID/GIDs are translated properly when
