hi as the subject already tells you: is it better (and "cleaner") to build samba v3 always as RPM and install it or - in case of an update of samba - simply overwrite the existing version with "configure && make && make install" ? normally there aren't too many changes in the paths of the install-scripts, so that all (old) samba files are correctly

hi, i read about samba4wins, which is really a great work from the team! do you know, if this will work with samba v3.0.14a? i ask because a german news service writes that it?s only possible with 3.0.21 (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/69132), but i can?t find this information in the notes on http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4WINS/samba4wins-1.0.0-16/ thx for helping me! -- Michael

hi folks, i hope you can help me!!! i'm using samba v3.0.14a (sernet) on debian sarge. openldap v2 is my backend, smbldap-tools 0.8.4 (patched for our organization). when adding a user via usrmgr.exe to an existing domain group i get the following error: [in usrgmr] The following error occured changing the properies of the user xxx User does not belong to this group [in smbd.logs]

hi i've been sucessfully using samba 3.0.0 and win2k/xp clients in a domain if i try to add a win2k/xp workstation in a samba 3.0.1 controlled domain (with the same smb.conf as the 3.0.0 PDC), i always get "no mapping between account names and security ids was done" the same workstation can enter a 3.0.0 controlled domain with no problems ! machine accounts were also created so

I confirm that Malte M?ller says. If you want to set multiple group acces, you must use ACL. the valid user parameter in smb.conf force the right of directory but the unix right is only for group user. ----------------------------------- St?phane PURNELLE stephane.purnelle@corman.be Service Informatique Corman S.A.

hi i have a user ~# id test_user uid=500,gid=500 (users),groups (users,kids) as you can see, this user is in primary group "users" and also member of group "kids" if he tries to access /home/board via smb (Samba 3.0 + openldap) from a windows client (XP), he fails, because his sambaPrimaryGroupSID maps to -> "users" and /home/board is not accessible for

hi, i'm using machine 1 (SuSE 9.0 32Bit): rsync 2.6.2 (from SuSE RPM) machine 2 (SuSE 9.1 64Bit): rsync 2.6.2 (from SuSE RPM) my command looks like the following: /usr/bin/rsync -W --progress --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -e ssh --delete --force -av /data/ machine2:/data/machine1/ after rsyncing both machines, some files differ ! i verified these differences with "diff",

hi, when i do nevanfs01:/ # nmblookup NEVAN#1B i get querying NEVAN on 192.168.255.255 192.168.41.3 NEVAN<1b> 192.168.41.3 NEVAN<1b> i just wonder, why there's two times the same entry? i also get error messages from nmbd like these, which i think are related to the problem i mentioned at first: 2004-07-21 13:34:21 nmbd[3150]: [2004/07/21 13:34:09, 0]

Hello, I am running Suse Linux 9.3 an Samba 3.0.20pre. I want to set up a folder where the user can only store files and copy them to an other folder. The User should not be able to delete modify or open the stored messages. Any ideas how I can realize this? Thanks! Greez

hello I've been reading the thread (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113286376900001&r=1&w=2) and I have the same limitation with WINS in a PDC/BDC. That's why I have the following (experimental) setup: PDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: master ldap BDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: slave ldap I configured some of my XP clients to use both WINS servers

hi, weird thing: i thought when commenting out "delete user script" and "ldap delete dn" nobody is able to delete users from the domain. what happens: users are deleted, to be more specific their samba attributes are deleted but not their posix values. i won't let our admins delete users from our domain becaus we have another management to add/delete users to/from a

hi list, just for my knowledge -> we have a working PDC / BDC infrastructure for our domain DOMA, where PDC trusts another PDC from DOMB (all samba v3). when PDC from DOMA goes down, is the trust still valid or do we have to setup the trust on *both* DCs from DOMA (net rpc trustdom establish DOMB ... )? is that possible at all? thx&greez -- Michael Gasch Max Planck Institute for

Hello fellows, Does anyone of you has found the hack to permit win xp home edition to join a domain controller. I found somewhere on the net a software that does this. But it cost 145 $ US, so like the upgrade... ( the only difference in that i will not give the money to Bill Gates) My problem is with the password modification. Every times someone does change his password, he has to go onto the

hi i'm looking for hints/experiences concering samba v3, openldap AND redundancy my setup is: Samba PDC with LDAP Master Samba BDC with LDAP Slave Samba Member Server, contacting first PDC, then BDC if the first fails if all instances are working properly, everything is okay replication is also fine (from Master -> Slave) and now imagine: LDAP Master dies all smbd are contacting LDAP

hi, i was able to successfully run vfs_shadow on a samba share with win xp shadow copy client. but i think it?s currently not implemented that one could export [homes] with this vfs object, because AFAIK each @GMT-snap has to resist directly under the samba share. but [homes] is a virtual share representing different shares (depending on users). has anybody hints about using vfs_shadow with

hi list, just read this http://www.gatago.com/linux/samba/14522736.html and this seems to be my solution 'cause i'm also hitting the same problem. unfortunately i can't use original debian packages anymore, because they seem to not integrate the patch, yet (still sub-releases of 3.0.14). or does anyone made other experiences? seems like not many people are using x64 win xp. i

hi, i have a question about winbind, idmap_rid and trusted domains. at sambaxp jerry said it's possible to have idmap_rid working with trusted domains. this is what we would like to have here. smbd -b doesn't show this compile option on 3.0.14a rpm (SuSE). may be this is normal, but how do i ensure that this option is in my binary w/ testing too much :) or how can i compile it
