Hello, I'm running Samba 3.0.0 on a PDC server with LDAP. I tested the latest version (3.0.1) on a test server with the same config files. But I get the following message in my logs if /var/lib/samba/group_mapping.tdb 's mode is set to 600 (like it is set in my 3.0.0 server). [2003/12/29 17:59:51, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(139) Failed to open group mapping database

[Sorry this is so long; I've tried to be thorough. Please CC: any responses to me, because I haven't gotten any messages from the Samba list in over 15 hours and am concerned something is awry with my subscription.] I have recently set up a Samba 3.0.1 PDC/BDC installation with LDAP master/slave. It has been mostly successful, however, there are a few niggling issues that remain.

Hi I make a perl script, to build on the fly login script to my users. In this script, there's some group that called, to mount specif shares. However, when logged on to the domain, with the student group, for example, I received this message, for the syslog: [2004/01/16 16:37:13, 0] groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(139) Jan 16 16:37:13 samba smbd[8299]: Failed to open

Hi! I've been trying to install Samba 3.0.2a + ldapSam (Stand-Alone, not PDC) on a RedHat Enterprise Edition 3.0 as a fileserver. It works fine but I still get some errors about groups and I can't find the answers in the mailing list log: Let's explain the error: When I connect with a W2k client it works fine, but then if I try to add extra permissions to a file it complains

Hi ! I made some workaround to this problem. I have moved all databases from /var/lib/samba to /var/lib/samba_lock folder, add: lock directory = /var/lib/samba_lock to smb.conf and it is working now - i can log into domain, i can browse machine list etc. but in logs i have many errors like that: lut 14 23:46:31 codo smbd[13803]: [2004/02/14 23:46:31, 0, pid=13803, effective(1002, 221),

Hi all, I am currently following the example in chapter 2 of the Samba-3 by example book. Everything worked fine unil I start mapping Windows Domain Groups to UNIX groups. When I issue the command 'net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=root' I get the following error: groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(134) Failed to open group mapping database

Does anyone have any idea what can cause nmbd to begin gobbling CPU? We are running Samba 2.2.4 on HP-UX 10.20, having upgraded from Samba 2.0.10 about a month ago. Our clients are a mixture of NT 4.0 and Win2K. Today, we have begun to see widespread client drive disconnections, and nmbd is averaging 60%+ CPU usage with peaks up to 100%. We have heard reports of network problems at our site

Has anyone seen this error before? I'm digging into it now, but trying to save some time....have we uncovered a latent mem leak?

Hi all, Please excuse me if this question is not appropriate for this forum: Lets assume that samba server crashed or was shut down abnormally, while users where holding open files in the server. In this case, I've noticed that locking.tdb is not being cleaned when samba is restarting. I was wondering why shouldn't it be cleaned. Thanks, Nir

Hey all, almost 48h ago I upgraded both my instances to 2.3.1 again to see if the new patches would fix the replication issues for me. So far, the result is: great. I haven't been able to provoke any kind of I/O stall or persisting queued/failed resync requests in my replication setup. Newly added users are replicated instantly upon the first received mails and the home directory gets

Greetings, Before I start digging into making our local passdb plugin work with Samba 3.0.25, is there any heads up I need to know about? I tried to compile the example plugin in samba-3.0.25/examples/pdb, but it fails. See below for a sample of the error messages. If I try to compile the same example that comes with Samba v3.0.24, the example code compiles without any issues? Any

I have a samba server running on ubuntu 9.10 with windows (both Xp and vista) clients running quickbooks (accounting software). Quickbooks can connect to the samba server and get access to the data files with no problems, if the secretary uses quickbooks continuously there is never a problem the system works for hours on end. However if the secretary leaves the software running but doing nothing
