I can now login to my domain from an XP Pro client, as a normal user. Only problem is, I get this: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected

I have setup my Samba server as a WINS server using the wins support = yes parameter. My remote network can see the Samba server at our head office fine. I have also setup the WINS setting on my PC (W2K Pro box) to point to the IP address of my Samba server. When I do a nmblookup -R -U <IP address of WINS server> <name of my PC> on my Samba server I get this reponse; querying pc1

Mandrake 9.1 Samba 3.0, windows2000 pro sp4. I finally got Samba 3.0 working thanks to G?mes G?za.

New to list sorry if this has been address but didn't see it in recent archives. FC1 with Samba 3.0.2 I had an older RH73 system running samba 2 on it and recent moved up to FC and samba 3. Most everything transfered over well. I just took my smb.comf from the old system and put it on the new system and then ran swat making sure I didn't forget anything. Restarted server and wow... It

Hello everybody! Obviously Samba as a PDC and Fileserver for w2k clients is not as easy as I first thought. Soon after setup and integration in a network a problem with the shares and MS Word appeared. Any time a file is opened with M$ Word directly from a share and edited it can't be saved. The M$ user gets the msg that the file is write-protected and on the samba side the file

I sent previously thought I might try again.. I have a samba 3 server hosting approximately 5 clients. I am having problems with one. When any user other than administrator logs on the first thing I get on the desktop is ERROR ACCESS DENIED after clicking ok a few times it goes away and everything is normal. The logs are showing me this for the users login in from that workstation. Why does

just noticed the following problem.. after running samba 302rc1(as pdc) for a few day's. old SMBD pid's are left in the procces tree.. eating memory and cpu time, causing linux to overload and not function annymore. after stopping samba, the smbd pid's will stay. stopping samba the 2nd time will do the trick, they finaly disapear... so you have to stop samba twice.. ?? don't

Due to hardware failure we had a rushed migration from a Samba v3.0.9 on FreeBSD 4, to v3.0.10 on Mandrake Linux 10.1. Since then I have had problems getting roaming profiles to work for new users. Things works fine for existing users, but things are broken for new ones. The setup is a fairly standard Samba PDC with Windows XP clients. When users added since the upgrade log in, they then do

How are file permissions determined under Samba? If I log onto my Linux server (terminal session using Putty) and create a file that file is given the following file permissions (rw- rw- r--). That is correct, because in my home directory I have a .bashrc file that has a umask command that states umask 002. However, when I use Samba to log onto my Linux server and use Word/Excel to create a file

Does Samba3 require windows machine accounts? I need to have users authenticate to a Samba PDC and be able to run logon scripts when authenticated, BUT NOT have to have machine accounts for every user be setup. In other words, can the user authenticate without his/her machine being part of the Domain? Thanks, Rich
