similar to: Execute .exe files from a Samba share

I simply wonder if I can have several different logon script bat files for MS Win users that validates through my Samba PDC? Let's say that group "users" should have logon batch users.bat and the members of the group "sales" should have both users.bat and sales.bat executed at logon? Or can I in some way use ONE script with parameters that knows about what groups the user

Well, now everything seems to be in place for the big leap to Linux for file server and logon server. But there is one big catch that I can't find any info about. The default user level mappings in a Windows XP SP1 / Samba 2.2.5 PDC setting. Admin level is perfectly clear, but there is a group level "Domain Users", what is the corresponding Windows XP user level? Will the user be

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to use different driver file downloads for different printers on the system? As of what I can see in all doc-files I can only use ONE set of drivers for all added printers? F.x. I have one printer that is handled by CUPS' PPD system, and one printer that uses RAW. So, the first printer (PPD) should have its feed in postscript format from

I can't figure out what's wrong with my config, I can see the share \\beata\anders, but not store0 or store1; # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the # samba-doc package is installed. # Date: 2011-03-01 [global] workgroup = NORRBRING passdb backend = tdbsam

Is it possible to send a pop-up message to all connected Windows stations in a whole domain via one command, or is it necessary to send one message per command to each station? It must be a command line utility since X isn't running on the server. Anders Norrbring

Hi! I was thinking, is there a way to use a linux box with Samba running in the DMZ of a firewall and to validate logons from the internal network? I.e. the users workstations are on the protected net on 192.168.111.xx and the Samba PDC resides in the DMZ, running subnet 192.168.222.xx. If it's possible, what ports need to be open?

Well, I wasn't really awake I guess.. It's just a script that calls GhostScript for pdf generation.. But the question still stands, what IS the best quality printer driver to use for GhostScript -> pdf printing? We need both colours and high resolution.. ------------------------ Hiya! Can anybody recommend what the best Windows XP printer driver is to generate pdf documents with

Hiya all! I've browsed to lots of doc. Files, but I can't find a good answer. Is it possible to set logon time restrictions to users when Samba operates as a PDC, controlling Windows XP Pro clients? We're in the need to have different time restrictions based on user groups as well as individual users. Currently we run Samba v2.2.5, but will upgrade if needed. Anders Norrbring

I've noticed in the HOW-TO collection (for v3, unforunately..) that there is a command "net groupadd" to create group mappings for the Samba server to use when controlling users in the domain. Since my Samba is 2.2.8a, the net command doesn't exist on my system. Is there another utility to use to create NT groups (f.x. Power Users) that Samba can use in its PDC role? Anders

Is 'net use x: /home' deprecated nowadays? I just upgraded a very old Samba 2 to 3.2.8 and suddenly no workstations at all can use that command to map to their home directories. Workstations are W2k, Win XP and Vista in a mix. Neither work. Samba use LDAP as back end, and the related posts in smb.conf are these: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\.msprofile logon script = login.bat logon home

Hi! I?m having trubbles with the speed on my samba server, I just uppgraded to gigabit (Realtek 8169 NIC) at home when i copy stuff from the samba server i get around 5-6Mb/sec and if i use ftp to access the same file on the same server i get almost 30Mb/sec does anyone have a clue what causes this problem? When i used my old 3com 905c for the local net i got normal 100Mbit speed (around

Hi, I trying installing a Samba 3.0.1pre domain controller with ACL support. It works fine but i've got strange behaviour managing the file permissions access control list on Windows machines. When I add a domain group or a domain user to the user list of a local file, it is correctly shown. But, when I close and reopen the window, the username (SERVER\username) is no longer shown, but

I'm not sure if this even SHOULD work. I can't find anything really useful in the documentation. I have a RedHat 7.3 system in the DMZ of our network, its address is 192.168.222.10, broadcast address is 192.168.222.254 I firewall, linux based with 3 ports, the 192.168.222.0 net (DMZ), the "outside world" on one port and the internal network is 192.168.111.0, broadcasting

I can't get rid of an old network I had configured on my Samba server, it was PDC on two subnets, and one of those nets are now gone. Still Samba tries to become PDC on the subnet (192.168.100.10). So, in my logs I get hundreds of these messages; [2007/07/26 22:38:57, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(488) get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail: Doing

Hiya.. I got a new Samba for my SUSE 10.1 x86_64 by automatic update last night, and now all of a sudden my Vista workstation won't connect to the shares automatically. I have the machine as a domain controller with LDAP backend, and it's been working flawless until the new update to samba-3.0.22-13.32. My log.smbd shows this as the workstation logs in, and asks for username/password,

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. Error = Address already in use ------end log.smbd----- In my /etc/services file, I have these entries:

Hello, I'm having problems using Samba as an primary domain controller. I am using debian woody as our platform. The version of samba is "2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian" and i followed the instructions which can be found on the following url: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/tutorials/samba/. In short this covers: - creating the config file - creating the users /

Hello everybody, I'm asking myself a rather simple issue (i hope it hasn't already be explained somewhere). I'm using ldapsam_compat on 3.0.1pre3(+Debian patches & smbldap-tools 0.8.1) to store both user accounts and machine accounts. It works just fine, but there still is something that i find quite odd. My smb.conf contains: add machine script =
