Hi, My config: samba 2.2.11 on linux 2.4.26, nss_ldap 215, glibc 2.2.3. Clients: XP Pro SP1. It's a domain style setup with a Ldap server over ssl. The server is Sun DS 5.2. Users complain that sometimes (and not on all computers) they are unable to log in after some time (several hours) has passed since they were last accessed. They have to reboot them and the problem disappears. I

Hi, I'm having weird problems with pdbedit working with a Ldap backend. Basically I'm not able to join the domain (samba domain mode) with my XP Pro clients. The winpopup error is: no valid IDs mapping. Samba client log shows this: smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1558) domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain xxx I tracked it down and I think

Hi, I'm not sure how it's exactly done but XP Pro seems to block winpopups during ctrl-alt-delete session (changing passwords, workstation locking, etc) somehow. I'd like to prevent people from password changing trials and send them a popup like this: smb.conf: passwd program = my_script %m my_script: #!/bin/sh echo "Please log to 'some machine' to change your

Hi there!! I 'm changing the distribution from Suse8 to Fedora Core3.

Hi all! Is there a way of logging date/time/workstation/username for every logon and logoff in a samba domain? I realized that it isn't possible to use log level auth for this purpose. I tried to use connections to netlogon service written on the logs. But I realized that those connections are closed before the user logs out. The main idea behind this is to have information enought to

Hello there I'm also trying to get Sun Directory Server 5.1 (from Solaris9) to work with Samba 3. I've loaded the DS5 schema file (from Samba 3.0.10) into Sun DS5, however when Windows attempts to authenticate against Samba, Samba seems to be sending an invalid request off to the Sun LDAP server: [27/Jan/2005:12:22:39 +1100] - Entry

Hi, I've been trying to find something on this in the docs but have failed so far - perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong place and if so please feel free to reply with a link. My issue is that files create on a samba share in windows are fine. The file is created and is accessible by everyone straight away. But, if I have a unix script create a file on the samba share at the server end

Hello all, I have the following problem: I wish to access the NFS shares through Windows.

Hi Folks: I am in the process of moving all of our users over to our new Samba File server which runs FC3. In order to properly secure the home folders, I need to chown them to the UID of the individual user, and chgrp them to the domain users group. I know the GID for the domain users, so no problem there. Is there a way to find a list of the UID for all the users. I know that I can do it

So i have gone through the archives and see a lot of people asking if samba can use edirectory as a source for user passwords. No i'm down the same road myself =D my company is using edirectory 8.7.3 on Solaris and redhat enterprise linux 3. the samba server only needs to talk to the redhat edirectory server though. From the turtorials that i have read a lot pf people hook up edirectory

When I have fileserver with many users homedirs (but all users from AD through winbind), how can I autocreate /usr/home/blabla, when I have just create user blabla in AD? Samba required existed directory to connect to resource, preexec= starts only after succesful connection. I'd like to automate process - when I have just create user blabla, when it connect first time to their homedir at

I have SAMBA 2.0.7 running on about 20 Solaris 9 servers around the US. One location is experiencing interruptions for Windows XP clients who map to the SAMBA server. There are no known changes to Solaris or SAMBA to explain the change. The problem is very random. I have seen postings that discuss how XP uses ports 139 and 445. Is there a way to block port 445 in SAMBA 2.0.7? The

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ? Other solutions ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski perl -e '$_=q#: 13_2: 12/o{>: 8_4) (_4: 6/2^-2; 3;-2^\2: 5/7\_/\7: 12m m::#;

Hello All, I am sure that this has been asked probably a million times on this list, but for our particular setup, I need to see if there is a way to have Samba authenticate its users based upon the Linux accounts password file? The reason is that we have other applications all working together and most of them are also using the Linux password file which make the process of maintaining

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

I have my existing users in LDAP ( posixAccount schema ), and now I installed samba 3.0.0 and want to store samba user accounts in LDAP too. I included samba.schema. Is it possible to add samba part of user account to the already existing user account in LDAP? If yes, how do I

Hi, It's a basic firewall question I guess. Perhaps someone of you has seen it. I've got I firewall setup meant for my samba server protection. The problem is it seems to block all broadcasts.
