Hi Folks: A couple weeks ago, the list helped me develop the way to find the UID of users on my AD system. At the time I did not think that it would be necessary to know the GID of the AD Groups, but I am hitting some snags where I need to change the group ownership of folders etc. I suspect that the necessary command is a variant of the getent command, but man getent has not yielded where I

hi all, got a small prblem here Running Samba 2.2.8 with a couple of dell laptops that are used either standalone or connected to a network. Both users are storing lots of pictures on their C drive which are visible through My Documents/My Pictures. The problem is that when they are connected to the network, all these files are stored as part of their profile on the server. When it gets to

Hi everyone, I'm using Linux kernel 2.4.29 and samba 3.0.10 with Slackware 10.1 distro and I'm having trouble getting the mount.smb to respect my uid and gid options. Whichever uid and gid I specify I get something strange like uid 147926 and gid 101. I heard someplace that this is a bug in the smbfs kernel module but in that case it has appeard after the kernel 2.4.22 since I started

Hi all, I have a class of Linux/OpenSource newbies and want to explain the origins of Samba as a typical Open Source project. My interest in Samba has grown, as well as my implementation of Samba. I started with 3 users on one server and now have ~2300 users in 10 buildings using Samba w/LDAP backend in a public school district. Anyway, I can give them my perspective, but I want them to know

I'm just starting to convert to using samba 3 --. Untill now, my use of samba has been pretty simple. I've not used it as a DC and I've use passthrough auth.. I know some say its ugly (and it can be) but its made my life easier most of the time. Now I'm reading through the samba docs, howto's, etc and I am still very uncomfortable mapping the windows Administrator account to

Hi, It's a basic firewall question I guess. Perhaps someone of you has seen it. I've got I firewall setup meant for my samba server protection. The problem is it seems to block all broadcasts.

So far, so good with 1.9.18p1 on HPUX 10.20 (kudos to the Samba team!). However, I've got a question.... I'd like to be able to restrict access to some of our services, and can certainly do so with the "hosts allow = " entry in smb.conf - it does exactly what I want. But... I plan on bringing Samba up on a few campus hosts, some of which have more extensive listings of PCs I

Hello there, I have a samba PDC 3.0.0 running ok, but I had turned on the option "Time Server" in smb.conf, to synchronize the workstations time with server. But the workstations synchronize 1 hour less than it is. I think that the workstations isn?t considering the daylight saving time. I?m using the command: net time \\server /set /yes Thank?s, []?s Tercio

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book

How does a samba administrator control how much space each share is allowed? Thanks, Romeo. romeo.theriault@maine.edu

Howdy All, I need to change the machine names on about 10 machines ( winxp ) on a samba 3.05/redhat9 network ( NO LDAP ) Am I correct in the order I have listed below to accomplish this 1. remove the machines from the domain ( change to a workgroup ) 2. remove the machines from the smbpasswd file ( I can use webmin for this ) 3. stop samba 4. remove the machines from /etc/passwd 5. add new

Hi Folks, Just installed Samba 2.2.10 on my FreeBSD 4.9 computer. I can see the FreeBSD box on all of my Win 9x boxes, but when I double click on its icon, I get a rude box message that says something like: ==================================================== You must supply a password to make this connection Resource: \\SAMMY\IPC$ ====================================================

First of all I am new to Samba. I successfully deployed Samba 3.0.6 as a PDC w/roaming profiles. All the workstations have a desktop.ini file that shows up on the desktop after joining the domain. The contents of the ini differ from workstation to workstation. >From my understanding this file is a supposed to be a hidden file, but it is not. Any ideas? I apologize if I have not included

Hi, I'd like to convert a number of userpassword ("posixAccount", crypt-ed) and create a ldif to update my Ldap server database. I've seen smbtools scripts in Samba sources but it seems there no tool to do that in there. What should I use to accomplish this ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski <mkur@poczta.gazeta.pl>

I am severely rusty re. multivariate / ordination analysis, having done my last work 40 years ago (in plant ecology). I am interested in exploring applications of multivariate analytic approaches to data from the history of motion picture films. I'd very much appreciate any pointers as to possibly appropriate proceedures. The individual "samples" may be individual films and the
