similar to: security=ADS, and 'guest' access?

I've attached an Apple XServe to our Windows domain, and have successfully setup all the Active Directory integration. I've been able to expose a file share to Windows via Samba from the XServe, but it's still requring a guest account login. For example, when i try and open <file://\\xserve\AppStorage> \\xserve\AppStorage from the Windows Explorer, it shows a username/pwd

I'm running Samba on a Mac OS X server, and the server is a member of a Windows domain (Windows 2003). Samba is setup for security=domain permissions. I have opened up a file share to the Windows machines named AppDeployment. I'm able to open \\xserve\AppDeployment on a Windows server, and am able to create directories and copy files in there. (Btw, when i attempt to "net

I am running Samba 3.0.5 on OS X 10.3.8 Server. It's the stock Samba supplied by Apple with no modifications. I am running a variety of shares on the system to around 50 PC clients. I came into the office this morning with a dead Xserve... could not login, could not ping or ssh into the system. Users in the office could not even browse the network. When they tried to browse the

Hello List, I have a bit of a strange problem with an OS 10.3.3 XServe (Samba 3.0.2) that I've inherited from a previous sysadmin ;). It's a bit hard to describe but I'll do my best and include applicable log files and the smb.conf. Ok, first of all this machine is bound to our Active Directory domain and authenticates users there (security = ads). It uses the Windows 2000 DC

Hi everyone, I am struggling to promote a samba 3.0.10 standalone server to a BDC, because it cannot contact the PDC which is on a different subnet connected via a VPN. Having lost several days I believe this may be because it Samba is broadcasting WINS domain discovery requests on its local subnet, which of course it not reaching the PDC as broadcasts are not sent across the VPN. The PDC is

Hi, I would be very grateful if anyone could give me a bit of help with this. I am trying to run Samba 3.0.5, as distributed with Mac OS X server 10.3.8, on an Apple Xserve. Things were working beautifully until I had problems with an IP address change and had to reinstall everything. At present, the situation seems to be that the smb protocol is operating, since I can make an smb

Through my Server Admin, a graph of Samba "connected users" shows that the number of smbd server processes grows and grows without end -- processes never time out/log out and die. This was no problem under light usage, but when I moved a heavily used share to the server, the number of processes spun out of control. What made it all worse was that many of the supposedly dormant

I have a mac osx 10.2.3 as a server, anyone unfamiliar with it, it uses admin as main user. root is still on the system. Admin is admin of the password server which is required to login to samba. therefore root can't be the one to join. yet admin doesn't have rights to modify smbpasswd. I know the smb.conf config should work. I have added the users and machines using smbpasswd

I recently switched from using Redhat Linux 9 to SuSE 9.2 Pro and am having problems with an auto mounted share served from a Macintosh running Mac OS 10.3.6. I can read from the share without problems. However, writing to it is a different story. All the files/folders on the share are owned by janee in the group janee and have rw owner and group permissions. I've tried playing with the

Hi, I am running a Panther Server as a domain controller with a Mac Tiger Server (all latest patches) as the location of home folders and group shares. I have one group of users who keep losing connection to the server (both home and group folders). The can only reconnect to the server if they logoff the XP client and login again. I have loads of other XP users and Mac clients who do not have

Hi list, I am brand new to this list and have come across an issue with one of my servers that I can't seem to figure out: First the specifics of the clients and server: Clients: OS - Windows XP PRO SP2 10/100 MB Ethernet adapters (different types in all units) --> Not sure what else you need to know here Server: Mac OS X Server (v10.4.3) running Samba version 3.0.10 User Home

Dear Samba Team, from a few days i'm trying to use samba on my powerbook, with panther 10.3.5. I'm also trying to enable swat where i succeded, but with some anomalies. I will explain some of the steps i done during this day because i really don't ever know what to do now. I never had problems with samba over linux but here the things seems a little different. I starting by open the

i'm trying to get samba 3.0 alpha 19 runing on OS X 10.2 working as a PDC with Win XP clients using an LDAP passdb backend i've managed to get it so i can connect to shares with smbclient but whenever i try to join one of the XP machine to the domain Windows tells give me the message "the specified network name no longer exists". when i check the logfile the last thing in it is

The thing is, on the same machine, same net same moment, when I load the same folder from windows XP (through parallels) it takes like 10sec while samba 10min!!! MTU is 1500, set to match 100T devices like router and NAS on the LAN. Even on crossover cable it freaks out the same way. Btw my NAS is a Lacie Ethernet drive with linux based firmware and samba. Funny enough I load folders (ie

I'm having problems connecting to a Samba server from my Windows 98 machine. Ultimately, I would like printing to work. But, I'm just trying to get the "homes" part to work first. Samba 3.x is running on a Mac OSX 10.4. I can connect using smbclient on both the Mac itself and on my Linux machine. For example, $ smbclient //mini/noelle works. It asks for a password, I type

I have a PDC which is a Sun280R with Solaris 8 running PCNetlink2.0 (effectively a WindowsNT4.0 server) I want to join a Apple G5 with MacOSX10.3.3 (Samba 3.0) as a domain member of the above PDC. It will not allow me to do this and has lots of "master browser - unknown" in the logs of the Apple. I have the IP address in the same range as the PDC and have the netmask set the same

Hello, I am currently working on a solution to replace Apple OpenDirectory on some aging Xserve hardware. I currently have CentOS Samba4 AD DC?s replicating for redundancy using sernet-samba repositories. The third one has File/Print roles defind and it works perfectly EXCEPT on OSX 10.6. IT works great on any Windows workstation and OSX 10.7,10.8, 10.9 GNOME/Nautilus and even CIFS CLI mounting

we're using Samba 3.0.10 on a Mac OS X server (XServe), and are accessing files on the XServe from Windows Server 2003. for the specific situation of creating thumbnails of images, i'm seeing a huge perf difference between accessing the same file via mapped drive vs. UNC path. if we map the Z: drive to \\usseast01\assetstorage (Z:\foo.tif), and create a thumbnail of a 1.5MB TIFF file,

I apologize if you received this twice. I received an error after my first email....... Trying to get Samba working with Active Directory and ACL's on an OS X (Tiger) server. So far it hasn't been too easy. We were able to finally recompile version 3.014 with ACL's on the server. Now we are stuck trying to get AD integration to work. Ideally, we would like it set up so that the
