Hello, I have a network, where users want to login with their same username from Windows 2000 and from Windows XP on a samba PDC. When the machines logon, I can see the OS in the logfile of the machine on my server, but i cannot use different profiles for Win2k and WinXP, because the %a in smb.conf always gives back Win2k. The profiles of win2k and winXP aren't compatible, so i can't just

Hi ! I was just wondering if that piece of code was important (for security and such), because I had to comment it in smbldap.c before compiling samba-3.0; otherwise, I would have errors like: "(Insufficient access)smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP when not root" #ifndef NO_LDAP_SECURITY if (geteuid() != 0) { DEBUG(0, ("smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP

Hi, Could someone explain, why was parameter "domain admin group" removed from samba3? passdb/pdb_ldap got totally rewritten... but why remove an useful variable... # Removed Parameters (order alphabetically): # * domain admin group In 2.2.8 (with LDAP backend) I defined domain admin group = @"Domain Admins" and added several users to that group for creating machine

Hi, I've a samba-3.0.2a running perfectly on redhat-8. Filesystem is EXT3 with ACL support. I can't upgrade the PDC to 3.0.3 or 3.0.4, because shares are only read-only. In 3.0.3 only home share and temp share are writable. All other shares are in read-only mode. Users can see the files/directories, but can't save anything or create new items. When trying to create a new item -

Hi, I want to achieve, that the IT staff could add machines (2000/XP) to samba-3 (LDAP backend) on the fly. Creating a new machine account to LDAP requires special access to samba (uid=0). In samba-2.2.x was a great parameter called "domain admin group". So everyone, who belonged to the specified group and root (uid=0) could modify LDAP. Others got message - "cannot access LDAP

add to each share writeable = yes or read-only = no This Helps!

hi, I ran also into the home share problem, as discussed earlier in this list (http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-February/080593.html). But so far I haven't seen any solution. In samba 3.0.2 changelog is a line: "BUG 977: Don't create a homes share for a user if a static share already exists by the same name." I don't know what was changed, but it affected the

Hi, Samba-3 with LDAP backend is capable in this. I'm using it and it works. All you have to do, is to use LDAP and set proper account policies: $ pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 5 (after 5 wrong password, user account will be locked out - samba sets password hashes to ***NOPASSWORD*** and user is unable to logon). $ pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 9 # password

I've got a Samba 2.2.7a domain with an LDAP backend. It's been working for nearly 3 months now without much bother. By the way: Great work and thanks for all of the effort!

I just installed Red Hat v. 6.2 and would like to configure SAMBA.

G'day Rauno, Just wondering if you ever found a solution to your problem (http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-September/073997.html) regarding Windows 2K workstations joining a Samba3 domain. I seem to be experiencing the same problems - with the access denied message. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Regards Corey Johnston.

Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected

It started with one networked printer but it appears to have spread to another and now all networked printers occasionally go down. We have several JetDirect boxes and one NetGear PS101 printer server served by CUPS, the Windows computers access the print queues via Samba 3.0.2 on RedHat Enterprise Server 3. This is a very problematic issue and it is getting worse. We used this same type of set

I'm not 100% sure it's that WinXP KB835732 update but it's the only thing that has been changed in the last two days. Machines are regularly losing their network connections, mapped drives, and printers, leading to lockup and crashes. I found this in the samba logs of the affected machines.
