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

Hi I'm sure this must have come up before - if so I apologise. I have googled, read HOWTOs FAQ and numerous personal accounts on how to configure samba as a PDC but to no avail - neither w2k nor XP will join the domain. NT4 Workstation and Win9x I have working fine - where have I gone wrong ? Linux SETUP: RedHat 7.3, samba-2.2.7-3.7.3 (upgraded from 2.2.3a) Win2k SETUP: Win 2000 Pro,

Here are the configs of my PDC. (Ip: 192.168.10.2) workgroup = COREDIUM netbios name = IMBRIUM server string = Samba Server Imbrium encrypt passwords = Yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes log level = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 time server = Yes socket

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

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.

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.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

Regards Krishnam. __________________________________________________ Do You

ehh, just a little remark/note for the mysql passwd backend users and developers... when adding a user, the 'account desc' field is NOT filled in..! when adding some text manualy, and doing pdbedit -v <user> the field showes up, so when reading from the passwdbackend, the fields are resolved, when writting too the passwdbackend , the description field (and maybe more important

Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected
