Hi Samba people I saw this as a problem in the archives about a month ago but no solution ? I'm running samba 2.2.10 on Solaris 8. We have a script to replace /usr/bin/passwd which changes the NIS passwd and then uses smbpasswd to change the user's smb password to the same thing. Some users are getting : NIS password changed for diane on cauchy machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password

Question about changing file permissions in Windows XP when running samba as a PDC. If you hit Properties and go to the security tab, instead of listing the proper group/user names it lists the full SID. Is there a way to get Windows XP to map these to the proper user/group names? I am using LDAP as a backend with Samba. Thanks. -- James

Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same

hi, I am quite new on using Samba and sorry maybe ask a silly question here. I set up simple Samba server on Fedora3 using the samba rpm package comes with fedora3( version 3.0.10-1.fc3). I use the SHARE security level to make things easier. Everything goes fine so far, except that for some windows user, some times, on browsing some directories, it takes extremely long time to display the

Hi all ! This is a patch for Group mapping bug #1 reported here : http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/034057.html It activates users' primary group SID update when adding/modifying/deleting a group mapping. It patches utils/net_groupmap.c (net_groupmap_add, net_groupmap_modify, net_groupmap_delete) and can be applied to samba-3.0.2rc1. net_groupmap_add : Scan users

Hello to everyone, my problem to many of you will be quite simple to others quite hard (like me) I have had no previous experience with webmin of samba so im kinda new to this. My problem is that everytime i access my samba share (on my debian system) on windows and want to either play an mp3 or watch a film or get some college work, Windows Xp pro freezes the hell out of my computer. I am

Hi I have a RH7.2 server with 3 x LPT ports I have installed the following printers using the GUI printconfig Lp0 = HP1200 Lp1 = OKI320 Lp2 = OKI321 I have shared them via samba I can browse them using WinXP & Win2K by browsing the Linux box, looking at the printers and double clicking to open them, all is OK you would say, No. I have checked permissions on the /var/lpd directories and

Dear Samba gurus, I am still using Samba 2.2.8a; I have not seen an announcement that this issue would be fixed in 3.0.2; all that follows refers to 2.2.8a. Quoting from Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html (or Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html): Joining the Client to the Domain Windows 2000 ... Windows prompts for an account and password that is privileged to join the domain. A Samba administrative

It's exactly the same. Except that I use tdbsam instead of ldap and the error message therefore also is different in the log file. But the example and result is the same. Do you have any idea of workaround or fix?

Hello, I hope this is the correct place for this mail... I have found that samba-2.2.3a (--with-ldapsam) gives the correct logon home for win2k, but not for win98. Obviously the two systems request the information in a different way. For win98 machines, in lanman.c, the information is taken only from smb.conf, and not from ldap (or other backends). I have attached a small patch that yields

This patch allows net rpc vampire to create accounts in the same way that smbpasswd does, i.e. it will attempt to use the appropriate account creation function for the backend in use. From reading the comments on the top of the local_password_change function, either I shouldn't be going this route or local_password_change is due for some sort of change in status. The only major caveat I've

Hello, Are there kernel loadable modules in samba for linux? If so any idea what they do? Because after I load my module samba stops working.

Hello all.... I need help and I'm just about at my wits end. First let me state that I can not give logfiles in email since the Samba servers are on the secure side of my world and contain sensitive information. If by my stating my problem, I am hoping that someone will point me in certain directions that I have not tried. We have two samba servers on our site. Both are running Samba 3.0.0.

Hi all, I wanted to give an update on this as I know this MS Hotfix is critical and must be applied to protect against the (latest) Microsoft worm. I think I've found the problem in the code, and am currently testing a fix for this (not in the release to others to test stage yet). As soon as I'm reasonably confident I'll put a patch out there for others to test, and we'll
