hi, does anybody know about the following situatuion and it's solution ? we configured an samba3 as pdc - sure in the way it was often described. but if we login on a windowsXP as domainmember (member of the admin group) it seems like we do not really have full administrator-permissions. we can add useres and can do some other tasks only an administraor is allowed to do. but some stuff

Hi all! I'm going mad about getting my shares mapped to my win2k and winXP machines from my Samba PDC Version 3.0.2 on Debian. Win-machines doesn't seem to execute logon.bat at all, except when i log on as root. I've set the ownership and chmod 0775 all logon.bat files to eatch user on my network. Am i just blind or are there something obvious/very wrong with my config? my smb.conf

I need to replace a Windows 2000 Server with a Samba box. The W2K is the only domain controller in the network and it runs Active Directory. I know the Samba-3 limitations as an Active Directory Domain Controller, but I don't need absolutely all the features. What I would ideally need is: * Single Sign On * .adm policy files support (for client security and use restrictions - clients are

We have set up an IP telephoney system hosted by Asterisk and its working pretty well. We primarily use SIP and hardware IP phones.

I've set up a test Samba PDC with a few test shares. From the first Windows PC I logged on to a local computer account and mapped drives to the shares on the Samba PDC. From the second Windows PC I joined the domain and used a logon script to connect to the shares. My question: What are the benefits of joining a Windows PC to the Samba domain? Both arrangements above appear to meet my

I am running a Sun Solaris system with Samba 3.0.0. The security level is user but I want 1 share as guest share so that everybody can read it without supplying a username or password. How can I do this ? Thanks for the help.

Hi folks, I have two samba hosted domains at two different offices. I would like them to use the same LDAP backend so that the accounts are exactly the same. Unfortunately, it seems that a users SID is linked to the domain that created it, so another domain cannot authenticate the user, even if it can see it in the LDAP directory, because the user SID doesn't match the domain. My first

Hello, After a great deal of tweaking, I finally got the Samba server working, so that it would accept domain logins. However, the problem I now have regards roaming profiles, which refuse to function.

Dear all, Thanks to those 3 people who sent me answers to my question. Got the problem solved. Great! Now, another question of mine is: I would like to run an R script from the Linux prompt.

Hello All. I am trying to set up a rails+mongrel+mod_proxy_balance application. Unfortunately the stock apache install on centos is the 2.0 series which does not support mod_proxy_balance. I could not find the 2.2X RPMs on dag or dries either. Is there a yummy way to upgrade to the 2.2 series of apache? I tried with the individual RMPS but no joy there due to comples web of dependencies.

Hi all, I often have to peek at large data. While head and tail are convenient, at times I'd like some more comprehensive. I guess I debug better in a more visual way? I was wondering if there's a way to override the default data editor. I could of course dump to a txt file, and look at it with an editor/spreadsheet, but after doing it a few times, it gets boring. Maybe it's time for

Hi, A couple of weeks ago, we moved from a Samba 2.2x to a 3.0.x server. Everything works fine, except our svn. SVN is not able to make a file writable. However, we can change the read-only flag manually on a Windows XP client. When we try to lock a file with TurtoiseSVN, we get the following error Error: Can't get default file perms for file at
