similar to: How do you handle this right now? Joining workstations to a samba domain.

Is there some way to configure a special account which is able to only join workstations to the domain? I believe the operation talks over IPC$ - such as the NETDOM.EXE command. Can one set admin users for IPC$ and thus join the domain without allowing that special account too much access to Samba. Maybe one extension of this would be allowing to join workstations to the domain plus read only

I have tried everything that I know of. I have reviewed the services file and the swat file in xinetd.d a tun of times. It appears, via netstat that swat is listening on port 901. However when I attempt to access it via the Mozilla browser on my Fedora server (with 127.0.0.1:901 or localhost:901) nothing happens. It just sits there. However, if I access it via webmin (which has swat stored

I'm getting a "max file size exceeded" when copying from knoppix 3.3. to RH9 over a samba share when the file gets to be >2G in size. This is samba 3.0.2a on server, 3.0.2-Debian on client. I googled a bit, and the more recent one (2003) directed the user to get a build that was built on their Linux 2.4 system. I installed from an RPM I downloaded for RH9 (3.0.2a), I

Hi all I really need some help here! All howtos seams to handle thing if one is going to install everything on one single computer. I've a fully functioning empty ldav3 Slackware server with openldap-2.1.25, Berkeley DB-4.2 ,mit krb5, cyrus-sasl, openssl. Everything seams to work fine.

Hello, I have the following test setup: 1) Samba3 + slave OpenLDAP - the same PC, win2k in same LAN 2) OpenLDAP master OpenLDAP slave and master are divided by a rather slow internet VPN link. Whenever I want to add a PC to a domain, I have to do it twice - with first time I get an error on a client side, second join is successful. I guess it's because master and slave are divided by

Hi, I got the following setup. I got a openLDAP server. This server is the master server for LDAP functions. I named this ldapsrv. I got a samba server with openLDAP install on it as well.

Hi All, I know this must have been discussed around here a million times, but I really didn't find this info anywhere else and I'm on a deadline here. I already have an FC1 server with a working LDAP directory in production. The same server runs a Samba PDC, but not with LDAP functionality yet. All I need to know right now is if I have to include some standard user and group

Okay, first a bit of background... It looks as though I'm going to be getting a consulting job soon to replace a guy at a company, turns out he has done something of a poor job (for example the router login is accessible from the outside, any ip etc). Now, the main server at this company is running Windows 2003 Server (SBS possibly) it also acts as the email server etc I plan to separate

We have a couple of NT4 boxes I'd like to replace with a single samba box. One is a PDC (no BDC) that now does nothing but handle authentication for the other box which is just an NT4 member server with a big hard drive and a whole bunch of shares. There are also a few printers that are littered around the place connected to various Windows (2000 and XP) client machines and shared across the

Can Samba 3 be configured to serve simultaneously as as a Primary Domain Controller and as a file server? I just installed SuSE Linus 9.1 Pro and its Samba setup system allows only a choice of EITHER a PDC or file server but not both. If it can serve as both, does either your "Guide" or "How-To" document show how to set up the Samba configuration file? Thank you very much

Hello, 1: I've read, that primary-group of a user must be a windows-group? Is that true? 2. Why is there no group named 'Power Users' in Samba? (Actually there is only 'Domain Users' with insufficiant permissions on a win-box) matze

Hi, I am planning a Samba3+LDAP installation and was wondering about the use of putting users into different containers on the LDAP server (similar to what people do on NDS/eDirectory). Is it possible to then assign rights, options, ... to the containers and have the users inherit these rights ? I observed that e.g. SuSE Enterprise server and other SuSE products put all users in the same
