similar to: Cancel Print Job from Windows

This has been asked before but the answers haven't worked for me.I upgraded from 2.2.7 to 3.0.0. I used to connect to Windows sharesusing smbmnt in .bash_profile as a non-root user having chmod 4755smbmnt. Now this doesn't work: - smbmount won't let non-root users run it (even after a chmod) - smbmnt says "Failed to find real path for mount point" - mount -t smbfs says

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

hi, i'm moving from nt4 to samba ( 3.0.7 on suse 9.2). I'm able to join the domain, and roaming profiles work. I used net groupmap to map unix to nt group, this way: System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-2839205766-3667556824-2828225164-514) -> nobody Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> ntguests Power Users (S-1-5-32-547)

Hi I have samba 3.0.14a (debian/stable) and wonder where the problem is that running this command: # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512 type=d gives: adding entry for group Domain Admins failed! but (note changed rid) # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=1000 type=d works fine. Hm, winbind is not working, but I

Hi, i'm running a samba PDC on samba 3.0 and just had to reinstall the server because of a dead cpu causing corruption. luckily i had complete backups of the samba-files, so i copied them back to /etc/samba, /var/lib/samba and /var/cache samba. (tdb-files) i had one workstation (xp) removed from the domain and wanted to add it again, but then the station always gives me an error that i

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples

I'm running debian testing, so samba 3.05 atm. As of a few upgrades ago, which i think coincided with a library restructure or somewhat samba is no longer honouring read/write/admin lists on share definitions. Using the below share as an example, previously all users could access the share with read access, and those in the ntadmins group had write access. Since the upgrade users can only

Hi! Let's go back to this topic please! I have to replace the Windows NT 4.0 server with Samba but I still don't know how to do this. I need to allow to someone (some user group) the right to add files into the folder. They use this "feature" on current NT server ver often and to this in the following ways: 1. Rightclick on file you want to add, Copy, then go to server, for

Hi All, I am basically working on a product in which print-server is one of its functionalities. I am using SAMBA for sharing a printer which is connected to the hardware running Linux. I am running SAMBA and CUPS to manage the printing-options on the hardware. I am able to get prints when i give a print-command on the Windows PC which is connected via ethernet to the hardware. Also I am able to

Hello all, I am running Samba 3.0.9 with CUPS 1.1.17. When my windows user try to pause print jobs it does not work and gives them an error "Error Processing Command" in Windows. If they try to cancel a print job it doesn't give any error. It just disappears from the print queue and print anyway. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks all Dominic Iadicicco

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hi All, I am working on a product(running on Linux with Kernel 2.4) in which print-server is one of the functionalities. For that I have integrated Samba and CUPS which will let me give print-commands from a Windows PC and the commands are communicated to the cups via Samba and finally the prints are done by the printer which is connected to the product. I have both CUPS(1.2.1) and Samba(3.0.22)

I have created a domain controller using samba 3.0.20. I following howto's from a couple of books and the samba.org site. I was able to use net rpc vampire to migrate the old nt4 domain user accounts, machine accounts, and trusts. However, now when I attempt to use add a new machine to the domain I receive and error. From windows I get: "The user name could not be found" When I

This is part of a larger post that was maybe too complicated for me to get the right answer, so I'm breaking it down and will do it bit by bit. Server is Samba-3 PDC, clients are NT4 & XP. I can join the domain using root credentials (so the add machine script works), but not when using 'administrator'. unixuser 'administrator' has primary unixgroup 'ntadmins'.

Hi, I recently upgraded my Samba server from 3.0.2a to 3.0.14a running on Solaris 8. I made the assumption that all my printer definitions would be retained including driver information/files as long as the share containing all the files was still there. Although I still see the actual printers in the list of printers, it seems that they no longer know what drivers they use. When I attempt to

Hi [Samba]s I have RedHat 8.0, and have installed a compiled CUPS 1.1.19pre4 and Samba 3.0 (latest this week from CVS). It all compiles and installs OK with CUPS support in Samba, but no printers show up (according to smbclient -L or from windoze) when "printing=cups" is used. It is OK if another form of printing is used, for example "printing=sysv". A reversion to Samba

Hello, Have wrestled this one for about a week, now, getting frustrated ;-) Running samba as PDC for my domain (cf. smb.conf further down) When logging in on my 2K Pro machine, I first get a "can't find roaming profile, attempting local profile"-error, but logon using my user's smb account accepts only the correct password and so the identification part works well. Next,

Strange problem here, whenever a job is selected by the user to delete, it disappears from the print queue visible from Windows (after press F5), but still remains in the cups queue. I've seen some mention of using disable spoolss, to fix problems like this, however, we have the printer drivers on the samba box. The configuration below is from our sandbox server, sandbox. The domain

I have been trying for 2 months to get my samba server to add machine accounts 'on the fly" I have added both of these to my smb.conf add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 102 -s /bin/false Neither of these seems to do anything. I have around 250 computers to add, so adding the machine

Hello, I'm running FreeBSD-6.1, and Samba 3.0.22 with a Windows XP (SP2) client.
