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

Hi, On a Fedora box we installed Samba 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3 Accidently we've removed the samba password file. Now, we can't get access to Samba anymore. Is there a way to re-create it ? Or do we have to reinstall Samba ? BTW: We have no backup .... cheers, Andy

Hi Jerry/Samba Team I have Samba 3.0.10 installed on Solaris8 server and Samba-client-2.2.10 installed on Linux Red Hat2.1AS servers The Linux servers use Samba to mount filesystems from Solaris8 server. My question is how to find out on the Solaris8 server which Linux servers are using Samba to mount from. Because it is hideous to go to every Linux server and see which Solaris8 server they are

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. This LDAP server is the slave to ldapsrv. I named this sambasrv. The sambasrv currently have the following setup in /etc/smb.conf:- passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldapsrv.domain idmap backend =

Hello: I have set up a PDC using Samba 3.0.11 with openldap 2.2.23. I have set up a BDC as well (the smb.conf is same as those on PDC except the nebios name as "BDC" and the domain master is set as "no"). Then I try to shut down my PDC to check whether the client login through the BDC. I found that my client (on Window NT) are able to authenticated by BDC, but it keeps

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

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

I realize this may not/probably does not have anything to do with samba per se, but it didn't happen before I upgraded/rebuilt this particular server on 3.0.7. I'll ask anyway in case somebody has seen this... I have ONE user on ONE workstation that occasionally gets locked out of his workstation with the message about a corrupt/inaccessable profile, using a temp (sorry for not

Hi, Did this issue get resolved? Can someone tell me how it was resolved and what needs to be done? I am running into the same issue. Thanks, Prakash

Doesn't anyone here know how to authenticate hosts in the group 'Domain Controllers' such that you don't have to set 'ldap admin dn' to the ldap server's root dn? What's the big deal? Why is this such a secret? Everytime I ask about it I get dead silence. It doesn't seem to matter what list I am on either. Jim C. --

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 have a smoothly running Samba PDC. Just one thing that isn't working: when users try to change their password in their windows 2000 machines, they get an error saying: "The domain NETUAL is not available", but it is !!! I even set 777 permissions on /etc/shadow (shame on me) just to test, but nothing. Curious thing is that i'm running a RH package 3.0.2 If i compile

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable roaming profiles, for a particular user, from the server side? I thought of trying to blank the server profile string in their account attributes, but of course that says 'use the default' which will be to do whatever smb.conf says. Will setting it to something nonsensical, like a space, make it think to not have one? I'd rather do

Hi I found a patch for Samba 3.0.2 allowing to add hosts as member of the domain admin group. (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=107938779530259&w=2) Has anybody seen a patch for Samba 3.0.3? It took a look at srv_samr_nt.c but I don't think the old patch will fit. Why doesn't samba allow domain admins to add hosts to a domain? I don't want to give the root password to

Hello, Specifications of the environment: Samba 3.0.13 running on Solaris 8. This is configured as a domain member of a NT4 style PDC. The smb.conf file is provided for details.

Hi, We are migrating from an NT domain to a 2003 AD and using the migration tools to nicely move the users across. However, we have just realized that a user created manually can see a samba 2.0.6 server no worries, but a user that has been migrated using the Migration Tools gets an access denied. Anybody come across this one before? It's probably some bodj work around from
