Hi all. I created a smb-share on my el6 for all windows-pcs in my home-network (I'm the only Linux-User in my family) for sharing all the stuff we have, like music and videos and documents. The share will be shown on the other pcs (Windows XP), but they can't open it. The error-message ist "Share not found" on our preferred language of course! SELINUX-CONFIG sh-4.1# cat

Hello all: Here's the problem [on a RH7 running kernel 2.2.17-14 with Samba 2.0.7-21ssl and xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14]: http://localhost:901 does bring up the SWAT login dialog box.. but upon entering root as the user, followed by my root passwd in the next entry... it tells me "Authentication failed. Retry?" I can tell you that I did enter the correct root passwd, because I am root

My question is, how come daevid (on XP) sees the following directories: \\linux\dae51d \\linux\homes Shouldn't there just be the home dir only? Why does "\\linux\dae51d" show up (I assume it's b/c that's who I am logged in as on XP which maps to linux)? However, the fact that it does show up, shouldn't it be the actual HOME directory of the linux user account dae51d (as

I just want a simple, globally accessible directory for anyone on my LAN. I don't care who they are, who they're logged in as on their windows machine, I don't care about security (it's my own private LAN!!!). Why is this so difficult to do? I've looked through the archives (which by the way, could someone spend a few minutes and put a SEARCH feature there. Following threads

Hi, i've just migrated from nt4 to samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 with tdbsam, running on Centos 4.4 The net rpc vampire went fairly smoothly. Now that samba is running as the PDC (nt4 machine has been laid to rest) i am having trouble renaming computers in the domain. If i try this from the windows workstation (XP Professional) i get access denied. I use "root" or administrator which is

How does samba handle NT usernames that contains spaces. Also NT can have long usernames while Linux can only have 8-10 character long usernames. Is there anyway you can map those long usernames to Linux? Thanks MattB

I have been having problems with username maps and security=ads. I now have a solution (or at least a work around) that is working for me. I sort of stumbled across it, as I don't recall reading any samba docs that mentions the need to have the realm name in the smbuser file. Samba server is RHEL3 with samba-3.0.20 compiled from source authenticating against a windows ADS. Here is the

Hello, I am currently trying to set up my Samba 3.0.4 testbox to be a PDC for a MS Windows XP Pro SP1 box. I am using the latest smbldap-tools from IDEALX and I have really REALLY tried to do things right. Followed their manual... I cleaned my setup three times today and started from scratch ... Managed to join my DOMAIN yesterday but right now no chance. Read TOSHARG, OReilly`s "Using

Dear Samba users, I am desperate to know whether there is any successful implementation of Samba 3.0.x as member server of Microsoft Windows 2003 server running Active Directory. I have in production the said architecture and it is giving me all sort of connection problems to SAMBA shares during peak hours when users are numbered as many as 500+ concurrently. When there are only few users,

smb.conf states "This user must exist in the passwd file, but does not require a valid login" What exactly does this mean? As I understand it, adding a user with 'smbpasswd -a nobody' automatically gives it a valid login. My reasons for asking are; I added myself to passdb.tdb with my passwd. I added the 'nobody' user to passdb.tdb with no passwd. I then logged in to

Hi, I have installed the public domain version of samba version 2.2.8a on aix 5.2 and I receive the following error message while attempting to start the samba server.

Hallo, I wonder if cached credentials local logins are expected to work with samba. I have users with notebooks that I want to be domain members. If the notebook is in the wild I want the users to use their profiles (either local or roaming) stored on the notebooks. But once disconnected from the network the users can't login. I found a thread:

1. There is no Domain Users group on my Samba 3.0.6 server. Does this group need to be manually created? 2. In my smbpasswd file: # Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name root = Administrator nobody = guest pcguest smbguest I can not join a domain using administrator. I must use root. What did I do wrong? 3. Since there is no Domain Users group. I have been adding each user to the admin group on the

Hi, please have a look into the attached smb.conf. The only changes since 3.6.3 are commenting out all *security* settings and adding winbind expand groups = 1 The attached smbusers hasn't been changed yet. When I try to access share \\platon\root<file:///\\platon\root> as fee\administrator I get the following: platon:~ # smbclient -c dir -W fee -U administrator%secret

Dear my samba friends & Craig (who has been helping me with this issue so far), please help me with this one :) I have a fedora core 1, samba 3.0.5, and openldap 2.1.*, and smbldap-tools 0.8.4.1 When I try to join the domain [AGUILAS] from my XP (winxp), it is quiting half way through the process. However, I don't completely understand why. I used samba log level 3 to diagonose the

My wife and I each have our own workstation dual-booting WinXP and Gentoo Linux. We also have a third which runs Gentoo all the time. I wanted to set up samba on the third box and provide some extra storage space for both our Windows installs. It worked for a few days, then all of a sudden it stopped letting my account (michael) in while still letting my wife's account (amy) use the share.

I am trying to get two Samba PDC/Domains setup with a trust between them. They are separate domains because they are separate companies (one is a subsidiary of the other) located in different cites. I am using Centos 5.1 x86_64 and Samba 3.0.28a packages built by me from Fedora 8 source RPMs. Based on what I have read, in order to do the trust thing I need to use Winbind/idmap to handle the non

Hi, guys, I'm trying to create a PDC using Samba with an LDAP backend. According to all the guides I read, this should be fairly easy really, but I've done nothing else for the last week and it still doesn't work the way the manual says it should! As far as I can see, everything is set up and working correctly right up to the point when I try and join a machine to the domain.

I had the latest wine running under winblows 98 SE for a week or two with no problems, then I installed winblows 2000 and now I cannot get wine to work. It is important for me to get it running again since I run United Devices cancer research agent (http://members.ud.com) 24/7 to help them find a cure for cancer. Is wine compatible with Win2k, or will I need to re-install 98 again? -- Interested
