Dear Fellow Samba Users: I have mandrake 9.1 with Samba 2.2.8 running a domain with 500 users. It has worked flawlessly for a long time. However, it is time to set up a new server. I have a new server with Mandrake 10 OE and Samba 3.0.2 running. Please explain to this newbie and very satisfied samba user how to migrate all my users, groups, sid, domain, etc to the new machine. My goal is

Hi folks. I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but nobody posted any answers. I have mandrake 9.1 with Samba 2.2.8 running a domain with 500 users. It has worked flawlessly for a long time. However, it is time to set up a new server. I have a new server with Mandrake 10 OE and Samba 3.0.3 running. Please explain to this newbie and very satisfied samba user how to migrate all my

I had a test machine up and running Samba, joining an AD domain, and set up with winbind... when I ran "getent passwd" it would list all the local users, and all the domain users. I could also log in as a domain user without any problem. So, I made an image of the hard drive, and copied it to 7 other machines. Now, those 7 are having a strange problem. I changed the names and IP's of

Hi together, we have a Windows 2003 Active Directory Server, working together with Samba Version 3.0.2a-Debian. It seems everything (Kerberos authentication and so on) works fine. All the authentication is done by the windows 2003 server. My problem is, that I can't connect to a share via a windows xp client, when the share has an option "valid user" which defines a group of the

This is posed as a question more that a statement, so if you can show that I'm wrong, please feel free to correct / flame me. A couple of years ago, I identified a file corruption issue caused by two people attempting to edit the same file via two different Samba servers. The file was in a shared file space, mounted on both Samba servers via NFS. The problem, I believe, lies in the fact

Hello again, my server crashed today. It crashed because it ran out of file handles, which is not Samba's fault but mine. The server runs Suse 7.2 and Samba 2.5.5 with WInbind installed. The sever crash didn't effect any file systems, because I managed to properly shut the server down. The problem is that after I rebooted, some or all of the SID - uid/gid mappings got mixed up; e.g. gid

Hi, Maybe this is a stupid question, but any way Will samba use fcntl locking if level 1 and 2 oplocks is disabled and samba is not compiled with spin-locks enabled ?

Hi, I am pretty new in R. In fact, I started using R last month. So, be indulgent if my questions seem too boring or obvious. I have 2 basic questions: 1 - I want to increase memory, but I can't find the right way. E.g: in stata, you just type "set memory 1g". When I try to load huge datasets, R crashes. 2 - I want to clear the memory (no object or data), such as the

That way lies madness. No, where lies madness is in the self-centred way in which some people make demands of others to alter innocuous behaviour so that the data requirements of

This weekend I'm planning on replacing my exisiting Print Server with shiny new hardware. (YEA!!!) But I'm concerned about the 50+ users that I have connected to the 10 printers this machine shares. Is there anything I need to do to make this a quick/easy/painless process? I know I'll have to re-create the printer definitions in the CUPS manager, which should be no problem. But

Hi all ! In the samba-Howto, i was looking on informations on how to set up both a samba PDC and a samba BDC controller with ldap backend. I can read: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Do not install a Samba PDC on a OpenLDAP slave server... Possible PDC/BDC plus LDAP configurations include: . PDC -> LDAP master server, BDC -> LDAP slave server.

Hi, Does someone know a document which explains the TDB structure. functionalites, and format of the TDB files etc. I need to understand why some of the TDBs like messages.tdb, unexpected.tdb, brlock if not read_only, locking.tdb, session.tdb, wins.tdb are called with TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST tdb flags. Why some TDBs are opend with O_RDWR|O_CREAT flags viz. gencache.tdb, group_mapping.tdb,

Hello, I'm sorry to post High availability oriented questions to this list, but I was wondering about some samba configuration parameters and what options are available. I am using heartbeat, and to make a long story short, i have a floating IP alias between 2 servers. (192.168.1.1 for example). When one server is serving the data, it 'has' this ip. if the server fails over, the

Hi, We are a small company, which has just started using samba. Recently we have faced a few issues regarding the TDBs getting corrupted. I have read that the only way of getting around this issue, is to regularly take tdbbackups. But, this process needs a downtime of my samba server, which we would not want. Instead, is there a way where I can take the tdbbackup with out shutting down samba

Hi Jeremy, Thanks so much for your reply! As a matter of fact, we did just that around 3:45p yesterday when our CTDB cluster was unable to self-heal from the latest in this series of failover events. Here's how the situation went down: 1) We saw flapping identical to that described in my original post 2) After about 30 minutes of waiting, CTDB was just spinning with `smbd` repeatedly

Samba 2.2.8a-1, RH8. ... So, I had to reinstall. Fortunately I had a back-up copy. I've installed everything and then went to back-up and brought back all the stuff from /etc/samba and /var/cache/samba and all /etc/cups and /etc/printcap*. Aparently samba is working corectly: All user/machine accounts are in place winbind OK... It's just that although I've restored the /home/printers

Hello -- I'm trying to come up with a seamless way for our Red Hat 8 ( and eventually, Mac OS X ) users to access network resources that are shared via our Active Directory. I'm having a very rough time figuring out exactly how to approach this. Our requirements (ie, pie in the sky wish list) are: 1. when logging on to Gnome/KDE via gdm, users must be able to use their AD
