Hi Mike, You may need to create the netlogon folder in your Samba directory tree. Samba is installed on my servers in /usr/local/samba - netlogon is a subfolder of that, with scripts being a subfolder of the netlogon directory. My logon scripts are therefore in /usr/local/samba/netlogon/scripts and are owned by root.root, readable by all. Find your Samba directory and have a look for the

Many thanks to those who have replied so far - still no luck unfortunately. It would appear that I was ni=ot quite specific enough in the original post re: the OS version I am using - it is Windows 98SE, NOT vanilla 98. As for the login script I am using, I tried originally with the NT/2K script I use for all the other machines (logical as they are all NT/2K!): #### Script starts here ####

I am having a problem with the Samba server that I run. Simply, new users added to the system cannot log on to the PC's that are controlled from the Samba server's domain. Users that are already on the system and have been working for some time seem to be unaffected. I suspect that the problem may well be related to the 'minor' problem we experienced with the server the other

Many thanks to everyone who replied to me with possible solutions to the problem I was having with drive mappings from login scripts under Windows 98SE. Adam Manock hit the nail on the head with his comments (see below) - it turned out to be exactly this. I was using Notepad to edit the login script, then using SSH to transfer the script to the server. SSH was 'helpfully' converting

Steve, Here's how I got it all working: Create the directory you want to share (you've already done this bit), change the group ownership to be www-data and then chmod the folder 2775. You should end up with a folder whose group ownership is www-data and whose permissions are rwxrwsr-x, ie the setgid bit is set to cause files to be owned by the group www-data. Here's my share

I am having a problem with Samba 2.2.2 mapped drives under Windows NT. Specifically, the problem is that users cannot either read directly from (by double-clicking on a file), nor directly write to the root of a mapped drive. Users CAN however create a folder in the root of their mapped drives and then read and write files to that folder okay, and can also copy files from the root of their

Hi, I am having a problem with automating the download of printer drivers from a Samba 2.2.8 server. We used to use the server with he following options set: use client driver = yes disable spoolss = yes However these options have now been removed from smb.conf. Following the instructions available in printer_driver2.htm (supplied in docs/htmldocs in the source), I can add a printer driver to

As an addendum to my original message (copied below), I have tried a couple of things and have found the following: Running a one line login script, eg net use * \\server\share with an echo command produces the following output: The syntax is incorrect. For help, type NET USE /? at the command prompt. Yet running the same script one the machine as soon after login as possible results in he

I also need to get centralised mapping configured if I am to deploy Samba, although we're planning to deploy an LDAP server also so this isn't an additional overhead for me. Two comments, to avoid the additional overhead of implementing a seperate LDAP infrastructure could future versions of Samba support storing the idmap mapping date in Active Directory? When using idmap = ldap in the

Everytime I add or remove some samba shares, I must restart smb service to take effect. Is there anyway to reconfig it without restart?

This was blocked with both good and bad log output due to the size limit on attachments so I've removed the log from the successfull authentication. I think its pretty obvious whats going on from the failed log, thanks Andy. -----Original Message----- From: ww m-pubsyssamba Sent: 06 May 2004 10:32 To: 'Jeremy Allison'; 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: RE: [Samba] Kerberos

I can't say I've tested this in any depth. Where multiple LDAP servers are listed as the LDAP backend is the behaviour of Samba that if it fails to contact the first listed server it will try the second and so on? If that's the case Samba should only ever try and update the password on a single LDAP server which would then replicate the change to any other master and slave LDAP servers

Surely someone out there knows how to notify their Windows users that access to their samba server is going to be terminated.... Any help will be *greatly* appreciated. ------ Original Message ------- I would like to shut down samba before I begin my backup routine. Before I do this, I would like to send a message to the users who are logged in on their Windows machines, asking them to log

Hi list, If I have multiple Samba member servers in a domain can I store the groupmap data in LDAP? When I try this I get this error # net groupmap add ntgroup=Everyone unixgroup=nobody No rid or sid specified, choosing algorithmic mapping adding entry for group nobody failed! But this works correctly (creates account in LDAP server) smbpasswd -a username password the LDAP config in my

Hi Samba developer people, I still have a problem were winbindd panics every time I run it. I'd hoped this might get fixed as newer releases of Samba came out, but I'm now running 3.0.2pre1 and still the same problem. I want to deploy Samba on Solaris, but was unable to successfully get samba to compile with dmalloc support, so I've had to install onto RedHat 8 and use valgrind

Hi all, anyone able to point out why I'm not able to get samba 3.0.0 to update my LDAP server with any idmap data? I'm using SunOne DS 5.2 LDAP server and the following entries in my smb.conf file, ldap admin dn = "uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot" ldap ssl = off ; ldap suffix = "dc=testlan,dc=bbc,dc=co,dc=uk" ** have tried with this

Hi list, I'm trying to compile samba 3.0.1 rc1 with --enable-dmalloc switch because I have been asked to provide more information on a winbindd panic on a Solaris server. However the configure fails with the error shown below, config.status: creating include/config.h Note: The dmalloc debug library will be included. To turn it on use ./configure: command substitution: line 3: syntax error:

As Samba 3.x does not work with the Kerberos included with Solaris (it has no headers) I have to remove it and replace it with MIT kerberos. Does anyone know if Solaris kerberised services will still work normally (without modification) such as kerberised NFS? I briefly tested this and couldn't het it to work, but if someone has a definative answer it might save me a lot of trouble, thanks

Hi List, I'm having an issue between Samba and OS X with regards to Kerberos authentication to a Samba AD member server. I'm using local UNIX accounts and entries in the passdb instead of Windind on the samba server, ie create account by adding to /etc/passwd then smbpasswd -a username. From an OS X client system if I obtain a ticket for user "UserA" like kinit

Hi All, can anyone make any sense of the error below, please advise if I need to log this as a bug but I'm not sure how to further diagnose what is happening. This is from my winbindd log file, thanks Andy. [2003/11/07 17:47:59, 1] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(832) winbindd version 3.0.0 started. Copyright The Samba Team 2000-2003 [2003/11/07 17:48:00, 1]
