Hi, Does anyone know of a document that gives details on how to set up Bind 9 and DHCPD 3.x so that dns is updated when clients log on? I saw this is not in the howto collection (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727) so I was kind of hoping someone else has some notes. I would be greatfull for any tips and links. Tarjei

in CentOS 6.6, dnsmasq-2.48-14.el6 installs file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf with content: ========= cut ========== <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <policy user="root"> <allow

Hello! I''ve got a manifest that involves downloading and updating a bunch of different packages using apt, pip, etc. One of my apt-dependencies, dnsmasq<http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html>, redirects the machine''s DNS. Any modules currently running at that time that use the internet get a temporary name resolution error. Unfortunately, I can''t

Hi, I'm about to migrate a lot of files from a windows server to a new, shiny samba-server. I just got a small problem : What is the best way to do this? I'e tried rsync, but it croaks on some files with names like "somethign :some.eml" the same does cp. What I'm wondering about, is has anyone else had these problems, and if so, how did you solve them? Do you have a

List, Per someone's suggestion (thanks, whoever you were) from this list, I implemented dnsmasq to prevent the issue of resolving DNS when the net connection goes down. This morning the net connection was down, and our * server didn't miss a beat. I recommend looking into: http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html And http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3377351

Occasional problems arise where the .pst file just will not copy from the users profile on the server. Doesn't seem to be related to the file size. Has anyone had issues with outlook and Samba PDC - (win2k clients). Solutions that have worked have ranged from complete loss of the .pst file to restarting users profile from scratch. thanks Alex Genna

Hi I have installed samba 3.0.7-1 on debian sarge. I have configure it as standalone. I put a share as follows: [share] writeable = yes browseable = yes public = yes path = /home/samba The permission on /home/samba is as follows: chmod 777 /home/samba Now on my windows XP, the share is listed when i browse. I am also able to copy a file to the share. But i cannot open the file and it just

Hi, I experiemented a bit with the guest account parameter the other day, and I some questions: a) It seems to me that if you turn this parameter on, the user will be used when someone browses the domain without beeing a domain member, is this a true observation? (Don't answer this one, I checked the manual and it said yes). b) It also seems that the guestuser must have a sambaSid that

Hi all, I use Debian Sarge and Samba 3.0.22 with ACLs. The server is a PDC. I have about 70 clients workstation running both Windows XP SP1 and SP2. All works pretty good, all but the directory copy, wich forget ACLs in a particular case : When a client copy a local directory on a samba share, the defaults ACLs aren't applied. But this problem comes only when the client local directory

Hi, I'm trying to build a PDC and BDC to elimenate Windows NT on a network and have load balancing and fault tolerence for users. I've compiled samba 2.2.4 on two servers, working with openldap 2.0.23 with a master and a slave. Replication on LDAP servers works fine. I've set up a domain controller and wanted to set the other server as BDC in case the PDC goes down. Each time i put

Hi, Having set up a few Samba-ldap installations, I always end up with the feeling that OpenLDAP ACLs is what took time. The following patches / scripts might help someone else. I would appreciate some input on the access.conf.pl file so that it is even better tuned. Mr Tournier and the sambateam: Please include the files you find usefull. The attached files are: slapd.conf.pl : A simple

Hi all, it is possible that converting the NT4 PDC to Win200x Active Directory. And converting to OpenLDAP directory? Does such an converter exist? Thanks, Roland

I have searched through the lists and I am wondering if I am the only one doing this kind of set-up.. Anyway question is as follows: In my ldap server I have normal posix accounts with plain text password that are sorted out by a sasl-regex in the slapd.conf and

Hi, I seem to remember somewhere that Samba 3 can be configured so that you do not need real users for computers, that these users only exists in some tdb database. How is this possible? Can someone describe how to do this? Many thanks, Tarjei Huse

Hi, I'm trying to remove a printjob that is currently blocking the printque for one of my users. I've tried to access the printer from the user and delete it there, but this doesn't help. Cups does not show the job at all. I therefore tried to access the printspool via sambas net printq command. With net, I can find the job, and the jobid, but when I try to use net rap printq

Hi, I''m just wondering if there are any speed or stability differences between running a system directly of a LVM partition versus a xvd partition? Basicly: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/LVM/root,xvda,w'', ] vs disk= [ ''phy:LVM/root,hda1,w'',] Any tips? I tried searching the archives but I didn''t find anything. Kind regards, Tarjei

Hello, we run samba 2.0.6 on Solaris2.6 and use it together with clearcase (version 3.2.1). Sometimes the checkout of files from a clearcase NT-client hangs and probably causes clearcase to destroy the viewstore. In the samba logfile of that client I found the following message: [2000/02/17 09:29:49, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2401) call_nt_transact_ioctl: Currently not

We've just had the problem where our DNS server went down, and * started to act "funny". Is the best solution to install a local DNS server on the * box, and have no other DNS servers ? - this is an internal app, no need for any external DNS resolution at all.
