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

Hello, I've been thinking about setting up some sort of pool printing, where a job can be sent and the system can decide which printer to send it to. I know that with cups I can define a pool, but I'd like to have samba print a notification as to which printer cups sent the job to. The rationale is: I have multiple printers, each under a maintenance agreement. I have some printers

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

Hello, I have a linux box with the following S/W versions: CentOS release 5.2 (Final) Linux ns.hostname.ro 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 19:32:05 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Version 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 My server has 2 IP interfaces, eth0: with the public ip address and br0: for the private subnet. Br0 being a bridge ip interface between eth1 and tap0 ( for openvpn ). Now my

Hello I'm running Samba 3.6.6 on a Linux host on a LAN connected to the Net, with my ADSL modem acting as firewall/router so as to keep local services like Samba unaccessible from the Net. Still, I wanted to check if it's safe to have nmbd reachable from 0.0.0.0 on UDP137/138: ~# netstat -tunlp Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address

I moved an entire RH 6.2 server from one CPU to a new one using a tape backup/restore. Everything from the old server is working on the new server, but when SysV starts up smb, the nmbd daemon (2.0.6) exits with an error: create_subnets: No local interfaces! eth0 has already started according to the logs and console. Any ideas? Thanks. ______________________ Greg Kelley, IT Director SSA, EAA,

The only thing related to 'addresses' in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file is a "hosts allow": hosts allow = 192.168.3.0/24 127.1 I'm going to ignore the 'local hosts case, as if I solve the other, the localhost case may get solved by inference. I thought the 'hosts allow' would allow any host on the local 192.168.3.0/24 subnet. The hosts have no problems

My client Windows XP boxes are failing to register with my WINS server (running nmbd from Samba). I'm puzzled how to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Background: I'm setting up BackupPC to back up my Windows clients using rsync. I've installed cwRsync to the clients. BackupPC uses nmblookup to find the client's IP address given its Windows NETBIOS name. I'm

I have Samba4 4.1.14 (built from sources) installed at Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x32 and acting as Standalone server at the time. Here are 3 faces at Ubuntu: lo, lan and wan. There are lines: bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = lo lan0 in smb.conf But netstat -tulpn shows 0.0.0.0 binded address: tcp 0 0 192.168.0.254:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN smbd udp 0 0

Thanks for this answer. As I understood, for example if parameter bind interfaces only = yes is and interfaces = lan0 (192.168.0.254) is and if broadcast packet goes from 95.95.95.14 such packet will be dropped (in other words) ? Am I right ? And other thing. Why is 192.168.0.255 (network broadcast) opened for ? May be exact such address (network broadcast) is inbtended for receiving broadcasts

Hi all, I had nForce3 motherboard that has broken. Than I bought nForce4 motherboard. I connected old hard disk to this new nForce4 motherboard. For net and sound support I download drivers from nvidia.com site. This driver asks kernel source to be on local disk and gcc compiler. After I installed kernel source and gcc, driver is successfully installed. >From that point (but maybe it is

Hello, I am new to samba and i would to well secure it. In smb.conf, I entered the following lines : hosts allow = 192.168.0.2 127.0.0.1 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = eth0 lo I thought that it would only listens on the local machine and my internal Lan (which is on eth0 192.168.0.1) but nmbd seems to always listen on UDP/137 and UDP/138 (netbios-ns and

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.

Hmmm, I founded some at https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2012-July/085752.html As I saw these patches was already implemented. But is it possible to receive broadcast not to 0.0.0.0 but to x.y.z.255 ? This is network broadcast either. And opened 0.0.0.0 even with checking of source net is quite insecure from net security point of view. I think so. May be is it necessary to add

I've built samba for an embedded mips platform. Since this is an embedded platform, it's possible that some critical file that samba needs is missing but stracing the daemons doesn't reveal anything strange. It's running 2.4.34 kernel. Samba is failing to find any interfaces. [2000/01/02 10:55:01, 3] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(759) Opening sockets 137 [2000/01/02 10:55:01, 10]

Hi. I'm getting messages to the effect: Inetd: /usr/local/samba/lib/nmbd: Hangup Last messages repeat 319 times I start samba from inetd. Should I be starting it as a daemon or starting it in init.d? If starting it as a daemon in in init.d, does someone have a script that can let me use? I'm running samba on an a Sun E450, with Solaris 2.7. Thanks. grant

I am trying to get Samba 3.4.0 (on an Ubuntu 9.10 box) set up as a file server for my home. The router is 10.1.10.1; the Ubuntu box ("chronicles") is 10.1.10.2; the OS X box I'm using for testing purposes ("job") is 10.1.10.3. From job, I can see ports 139 and 445 on chronicles are open. Neither box has 'chronicles' or 'job' listed in its /etc/hosts file.

Hi, Rowland, Thanks for your advise. I've been updated the version to 4.2.5, the rpm query is as below, but it still didn't work.
