Hi I've searched the archives but did not spot this particular issue there. Config. RH8, Samba 3.0.2a. Auth via smbpasswd.

Hi, we run a samba 2.2.8 server and like to migrate to a faster, new server running samba 3.0.2a. I thought to copy all files from the old to the new one mounting the new shares by nfs. For a test I copied some files using scp. A problem concernes the german umlauts: on the old server they aren't displayed if I "ls" the files while browsing the share works fine. If I copy the

Hi, I know this issue has already been handled several times, but I couldn?t find any clear description of the procedure. I have Samba 2.2.5 running as a PDC on a RedHat 7.3 box, which I?d like to migrate to 3.0.2a now. Both versions are compiled from source using different prefixes (/usr/local/samba and /usr/local/samba3), so I can still use the old version until I get the new one working.

I'm runninng samba 3.0.2a on a few machines, ADS security mode, domain member roles. I throw nessus at it, and it can fetch the SID and then list all of the users on the system. I view this as a security problem, is there a way to prevent this?

Greetings everyone I finally succeeded in doing the seemingly most difficult thing, "following directions." I got my act together configuring the smb.conf and migrating using net rpc vampire into tdbsam. There are issues with this migration in which computer netbios names which are obviously all uppercase were not being created in /etc/passwd. I put my C cap on and converted the computer

Software: OS: Redhat 9 Samba Ver: Samba 3.0.0 (Plus excel writelock patch, waiting for 3.0.2!) OpenLDAP Ver: 2.0.27-8 Just a quick question about PDC / BDC interaction, my plan is to distribute Samba (with slave ldap backend) BDCs to remote facilities, as well as have one on each network segment in the hopes of avoiding unnecessary nmb broadcast traffic. My question is this: Will the PDC /

Finally figured out why I couldn't login to my samba 3.0.2a PDC, I had a mismatch in one of the SID's. Now that I have that figured out my workstations crash when logging in after applying the personal settings. The error is in a window titled SAS window:winlogon.exe - Application Error with the message being instruction at 0x00450056 referenced memory at 0x00000000 the memory could not

Hi! My problem: I have a network with many workgroups and my samba server 3.0alpha21cvs is the only member of one of that workgroups. If I went to the network neighborhood and tried to open the workgroup of my samba server I got an error message saying that the workgroup "mygroup" was not available. So I minimized the settings in the global section of my smb.conf and I was able to

I have 3.0.2a (with about 75 machines/users) installed as a PDC for my Win2k users and found an oddity. (waiting for a bin version of 3.0.3 for RH8.0) All was fine before I left 2.2.8.... But now when users hit <CTL>-<ALT>-<DEL> and change the password, they get "domain not available". When they log in, they get the logon scripts to execute, and anything else I do to

I tested NTLMv2 again using the newly created Samba 3.0.2 (I didn't test 3.0.1). It still doesn't seem to work. Has anyone successfully made NTLMv2 work? If so, can I have a working sample of the smb.conf file? I have included below entries in my smb.conf (among other entries): security = server password server = NTDomainController client ntlmv2 auth = yes On both NTDomainController and

Hello, I am getting ready to migrate from a Novell Server and wanted to use Samba as a PDC. I am planning on using FreeBSD, Samba 3 and LDAP. The problem I encounter is that one of our business applications is only supported on Novell or Windows. What I was hoping to do was configure a Samba PDC and have a W2K server that houses that application join the Samba Domain. Then when I access the

I can't make it work although both sign&seal and restrictanonymous are set to 0. My setup is: w2k sp2 as PDC, w2k sp3 as client, samba 3.0a21 joined into the PDC domain as an ADS member.

Hi! This teamware mailclient (teamware.com) that we use at the office has problems adding files as attachments from our Samba 3.0.2a share. The attachment file browser sees the files but fails to add them as attachments (with an error message: "valid.stf - file not found" regardless of the file name in question).

Hello everyone, I have a problem with smbmount. After I mount a certain share, I can not view files with weird charaters in their name. This happends for example with the copyright char.
