Hello! We have a school environment with Debian servers and Win2K clients. There are about 700 clients and 30 servers. There is piece of hardware installed on all clients the resets the changes made to the local disk at reboot. This seems to be a problem with Win2K changing machine account passwords every 30 days (according to MSDN). The server saves the password, the client resets it and domain

Hi there, WinXP Prof-Client on a samba 3.0.2a-Domain The domain-login ist ok in general.

Hi list I'm wondering if it and how it is possible to add printers to a workstation with a logon script like mounting shares. I can't find anything about this on the inetnet so is this possible? regards lm

Hi I'm quite new to Linux and now I've got a problem with installing the Samba 3.0.2 RPMs on my SuSE 8.2 system. I deinstalled the older version of Samba and tried to install by using the rpm -i command. After successfully installing the client and documentation RPMs i get the following errors: pcy23:~ # rpm -i samba3-winbind-3.0.2a-30.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: samba

Does anyone know how to edit smb.conf so that a users profile won't be saved upon log out? Or how to get it done any other way? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derrick Seymour Administrative Services Northeastern Regional Information Center Capital Region BOCES

Hi list, I intend to run an old pentium 133 as a linux-based fileserver on my home network (I have to use windows for my main machine and laptop!) Im having great diffiuculty synching the data, email, etc on my laptop and desktop, so I thought I might configure samba to act as a DC and use roaming profiles to make sure that my data is always synched. My question is this: is it worth the effort?

I have a Samba 3 PDC running with an LDAP backend on Red Hat 8. All authentication appears to be working correctly but I can't login to the domain from a W2K or WXP Pro workstation after I have successfully joined them to the domain. If I login locally to the workstation I can browse the Samba shares just fine. I have checked the schannel and sign or seal settings on both the workstations

I extracted the following weird error from the sys-log regarding pdu and schannel (have the same PID): Feb 24 10:40:37 s-svr01 smbd[31833]: [2004/02/24 10:40:37, 0, pid=31833, effective(65534, 65533), real(65534, 0)] rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:api_pipe_netsec_process(1371) Feb 24 10:40:37 s-svr01 smbd[31833]: failed to decode PDU Feb 24 10:40:37 s-svr01 smbd[31833]: [2004/02/24 10:40:37, 0,

Hi, maybe this is a newbie-question, but ... here we go: I read the documentation for winbindd several times now but didn't get far. We run Samba as primary domain controller for several dozen clients and over 3000 users and never used winbind, so my question is quite simple: What does winbind provide and when do i need it? I assume that winbind is only used when i use samba as a client in

Hi all, I'm running icecast and use ices to stream mp3's to the server. The user can search a database with english audio files ( it's for schools, so nothing fancy ) and then klick on a play-button ( Anhören ) to stream the selected title . But no matter what file is selected I only get the first entry in the playlist. I use the builtin-playlist-handler. You can test it

Oh, so you are using ldap..., well I'm still working with smbpasswd as backend :-( Anyway, I tried 'net getlocalsid' for the domain-sid -> ok Next 'net usersidlist' which should show me the user-sids -> didn't work: "[2004/03/04 06:40:05, 0, pid=31232, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)] utils/net_rpc.c:net_usersidlist(2158) Could not get the user/sid list" So

This worked. I am just having trouble with the profile I copied over to my server. It seems like something got screwed up in the copy over. My desktop and Start Menu, well all my windows as a matter of fact look like win 2k instead of xp. And none of my settings I configured before I copied it over came over. The profile is fine until I copy it to my server. I tried it on a bunch of xp

Hello, I've downloaded the metadata plugin from http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-metadata-plugin compiled it without errors, made the entries as described in README in dovecot.conf. Only ANNOTATEMORE or anything else additional doesn't show up in the capabilties. Is there anything wrong with my configuration? What I see is: telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to

Hi, It is possible to login a W2000 workstation into a Samba PDC (version 2.2.6)? Can I use "logon drive" and "logon home" to mount automatically at login time for W2000?

Hello everybody, i have a problem with dovecot+Active Directory as Authentication-Service. I am not able to use special characters (???? (german umlaut)) within a password. Normally I would suggest that the ldap-query is done in UTF-8 but as I debugged the auth-process, I have seen that the password is ISO-8859-1 encoded. The "original" query (from roundcube for example) is UTF-8

Hi there, I try to work with wine for 2 days now. Meantime I compiled it, installed my first Application (a german educational program called Lernwerkstatt) and now have a problem which I can't resolve myself. For installing the application I needed to install dcom98 first and add the DLLs in my config file. Now "Lernwerkstatt" starts up, I have to enter some informations, where I

Hi list, I tried to set up icecast and ices on our server and ran into problems compiling ices. I ran ./configure --with-xml-config=/usr/lib where the libxml2-2.4.3 is sitting but got this error : "in ices_config.o undefined ref. to xmlParseFile" I also installed libxml2-2.4.3-devel, so the header files should be in place. I ran ldconfig several times but that didn't change

Hi, how can I tell 'summary' to print the name of the summarised variable? This is probably an awkward newbie question but I didn't find an answer in the Docus, the FAQ and maillist archive. I want a summary for about 250 variables and realise it the following way (I know, that I shouldn't use iterations that way in R; but at the moment it's the easiest way for me):

I had a working "Samba-2.2.7a-SuSE" domain (with roaming profiles,etc.) but this server crashed. So I copied the samba directory with the config files (including secrets.tdb, passwd, ...) from my backup to the second server and started nmb and smb, but the Clients could'nt log onto the domain. The error was something like: "You couldn't log on. Please check username and
