similar to: Automounting Samba shares for Linux clients?

I currently have my /home directory kept in sync between my primary and backup domain controllers by using rsync --archive --checksum --update --delete pdc-srv:/home/ bdc-srv:/home/. I noticed that when this command is invoked, it tends to suck up the available bandwith to eth0 during the duration that the pdc is sending a large amount of data packets to the bdc. So what I would like to do

Is there a way to send a message to all users currently logged into a Samba domain controller? The reason why I ask is that I have a Samba 3.x.x primary/backup domain controller setup and as soon as the system monitor detects that the primary domain controller is offline I would like to execute a command to send a domain wide message telling all domain users to save their work to the local

Can someone tell me how to set up a mount to occur automatically on login? I have one directory per user on a Win network and I'd like each user to get his own directory mounted when he logs in. (Automounting on boot is ok, too). This is on Caldera eDesktop 2.4 with Samba 2.0.6. I can find and mount each directory just fine when logged in as root, but smbmount does not do the job when

I have noticed while testing my Samba 3.0.2a primary and backup domain controllers with Windows XP clients, that when I attempt to login to the Samba PDC, the XP client will sometimes randomly choose the backup domain controller. I only want the client to join the backup domain controller when the PDC is offline. I am not experiencing any random network outages or DNS failures so I am bewildered

Is there a way to make samba automatically mount a home directory? That is, a user logging in (from Linux), enters its username and password(Samba), and the system automatically mounts the user's home directory from the samba server(without asking the password again). Has anyone ever tried to do this? And succedeed :-) ? -- nneves@di.fc.ul.pt Dept. Informatica, Fac.

Hello, I'm using a Samba 4 as domain server and I've a lot of Windows computers that mounts shared drives on another server through GPO applied by user groups. Is there any way to do something similar on a Linux box, or I've to use a local script? Thanks! -- _________________________________________ Daniel Carrasco Marín Ingeniería para la Innovación i2TIC, S.L.

Hi, I'm running dovecot-1.0.10 on a Solaris 10 server with home dirs automounted over NFS. I have set the mail_location configuration option so that nothing should be written to a user's home dir over NFS but, as far as I can tell, dovecot still by default tries to chdir to a user's home dir when reading mail, although this is not required. This creates additional unnecessary load on

Hi all! As a long slackware user I'm a total noob in pam and I'm banging my head against a wall trying to set it up correctly to play nice with slackware's default pam configuration. One of the things I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to logon while the ad domain is available and have pam_mount automount the samba shares and to be able to do an offline logon and skip the

I am unable to get roaming profiles to work correctly when using a Samba 3.0.1 server with Windows 2000 and XP Pro clients. The MS Windows clients will only load the default profile but will stubbornly refuse to load their profile from the Samba server, even though when the user logs off, their profile is correctly written to /home/samba/profiles/username. I have even tried the following

I set up a 3.3 gluster volume for another sysadmin and he has added it to his cluster via automount. It seems to work initially but after some time (days) he is now regularly seeing this warning: "Too many levels of symbolic links" $ df: `/share/gl': Too many levels of symbolic links when he tries to traverse the mounted filesystems. I've been using gluster with static mounts

Hello, We seem to not be able to use Eclipse with a network drive since we upgraded our Samba server to version 4.4.3. Here's the error we get: mac-mini:MacOS user$ ./eclipse java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing storage. at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.EquinoxContainer.<init>(EquinoxContainer.java:68) at

Hi All, I turned my Debian box into a file server on my home network. What happened is now no boxen except the localhost shows up in Network Neighborhood on the Windows boxen. All shares work fine and if I search for the Linux server, I find it. Has anyone ever run into this and resolved it? Three days of Googling have left me with the same problem and a headache. Thanks.

I'm working on a client setup for thin-client machines in an AD with about 2000 users. One of the requirements is that the server (an LTSP box) not store each and every user's home directory. All of our users have a Home Folder setting in their AD object, and I'd like to use samba to mount that as "home." What works now: smbd, nmbd, winbindd. Compiled Samba 3.0 onto a

Hi, Is there a way to connect to the Windows user home directory share from a Samba client automatically? At the moment I can manually connect to the share using "mount -t smb" using the usual hidden/protected credentials file. Obviously this needs editing every time my domain password changes (as enforced by policy). However, since getting the workstation to authenticate me from the

I have some (for testing) Debian based client/workstation connected to my AD. Signing to the AD works as a domain/user should. These clients can, via Nautilus file manager, access shares on the file server manually that the *signed in domain user* is permitted to "see". I would prefer to connect these files and the domain user home directory automatically at sign in without manual

So finally here is the solution that works for me. If you have any questions, just ask. I use pam_mount with the following volume definition in the "/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml": <volume fstype="cifs" server="server" path="home/%(USER)" mountpoint="/home/%(USER)" sgrp="domain users"

I'm dealing with a Linux environment with extensive automounting, that also has DFS configurations for the Windows clients of various CIFS systems. I've got CIFS automounting working for various CIFS servers, which definitely has its uses, but I'd *love* to be able to mount the DIFS published paths for the CIFS shares? Basically, if I have shares called \\example1\share1 and

I was used to integrate some linux client in my samba network mounting homes with 'unix extensions = yes', and works as expected, at least with some old lubuntu derivatives. Client side i use 'pam_mount'. Now i'm working on a ubuntu mate derivative, and i've not found a way to start the session properly in CIFS. If i create a plain local home (pam_mkhome), session start as
