similar to: Samba 3.0.4 on RHEL3

I have upgraded on my debian server from samba 2.2.3 (stable ) to samba 3.0rc4 (unstable). The only problem that I have on my PDC is that italian character as ? (a') ? (u') etc. are non treated as they should and this can cause profiles non to load correctly. What should I do? THX Davide Parise E-Mail: d.parise@iskranet.it Cel.: +39 3333063640 FAX: +39 06233241981

Problem: I recently recognized that my samba server was misconfigured for some years now. I never used the charset and "client code page" parameters in my smb.conf to map windows encoded filenames with german umlauts to the unix ones. For that reason I now have lots of filenames with windows encoded german umlauts on my samba-share. OK. Now I want to change this fact (softly). When I

Hello, I've got a problem with a (local) samba PDC (3.0.6) and wbinfo -u. $ wbinfo -u only gives me: Error looking up domain users $ wbinfo -g only gives me builtin groups: BUILTIN\System Operators BUILTIN\Replicators BUILTIN\Guests BUILTIN\Power Users BUILTIN\Print Operators BUILTIN\Administrators BUILTIN\Account Operators BUILTIN\Backup Operators BUILTIN\Users but: $ net groupmap list

I have RedHat 9.1 running. Installed Samba that comes along with the OS to test it out. When I was playing with it, I deleted the smb.conf file inadvertently. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Samba utilities, but that didn't help. How do I get back the default smb.conf file? Thanks in advance. Satish Kumar

Hello, I noticed the following issue: when I add the default configuration for ldapsearches from the Howto collection ?10.4.4.6, example 10.2 ldap filter = (&(uid=%u)(objectclass=sambaSamAccount)) to smb.conf I cannot run smbpasswd -a [username] anymore. It works fine without the ldap filter statement. I noticed that the ldap queries are different with ldap filter activated ( from the

Hello again, this mainly affects documentation: a) net groupmap is a fine thing. Though: is it optional or do I have to map some groups for proper client operation ( W2k/XP pro) ? If so, which Windows groups have to be mapped? b) There are "Account flags" both visible in the LDAP directory as well as in pdbedit's output. The examples always refer to UX, while smbpasswd just sets

Hello, Setup: Samba 3rc3 PDC, ldapsam based, Openldap 2.1, RedHat 9 Question: Is it possible to assign the same UID to all machine accounts? I am referring just to the number, of course there has to be one entry for each machine with it's own unique username. Questions Background: Personally I would prefer a "non unix account solution" for Windows machine accounts. Nevertheless

Hi, coming back to my old topic: How to manage clients. Up to Windows XP one could use the NT4-style policies, but Vista does not seem to obey them. Are there any plans to get group policy functions on a samba-only domain? Or are there other ways to manage the clients? best regards, Gunther

Out of curiosity, is anybody using puppet on RHEL3 (or Centos 3) ? If so, how did you get it to work ? Did you build a ruby-1.8.x or does puppet work on the 1.6.x ruby that ships with RHEL3 ? thanks for any pointers, David

Hey folks, I know there''s an old thread about this, and the provided solution to make puppet work on RHEL3 was to recompile a more recent version of ruby. However, I think it would be nice to upgrade ruby from 1.6.8 to 1.8.6 with RPM, so here''s a quick tip for those who have to manage RHEL3 servers and would like to do it with puppet:

I want to run Samba 3.0.4 on RHEL3. The version provided by RedHat is samba-3.0.2-6.3E. I can't find any RPMs or SRPMs for RHEL3. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Regards -- Simon Oliver

Hello all, Has anyone experienced upgrading from RHEL3 to Centos 4.2? Is it advisable? I'm running mostly native RH stuff, Apache Web server, Sendmail, Squid and IPTables gateway. Will an upgrade work or should I start from scratch? -- Scott

Hello, I've been attempting to get this working all day. :) I have an RHEL3 machine connected to a Windows 2000 PDC as a domain member. I'm running samba 3.0.21c, compiled from an SRPM: # rpm -q samba samba-3.0.21c-1 When I try to list my users, I get this: # wbinfo -u Error looking up domain users Exit 1 Similarly, `getent passwd` fails to show any SMB users. But `getent passwd

I have several RHEL3 WS machines that were installed here running as servers and their RHN subscriptions were never kept up. Now that I have become responsible for them I would like to move them to CentOS as I can keep them updated as needed. Some of them I can simply migrate to new machines, but a few I can not. Is it possible to simply upgrade a RHEL3 to the latest CentOS 3? If

Does anybody have any good RHEL3 wireless (802.11) resources? I'm googling and haven't yet found anything good and am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Hi everyone, I need to port over an old RHEL3 box to a xen domU (just for a little while until I can transfer all of its services over to a new domain). I was hoping to get a domU supported kernel so I can run it as a PV guest and found this page: http://xen.org/download/dl_304guest_rhel3.html ...but the links to the actual kernels come up with 404 errors. Anyone know where I can get this

hello! i think i have an very common problem. i want to run a distro based on a 2.4 kernel (Scientific Linux 3/Centos 3/RHEL 3) in xen3 as domu. the dom0 is a 2.6 based and works fine. so i think the way to go is to "simply" use an 2.6 kernel. but now i see there are several things which don''t work for example module-init-tools are missing and i expect problems with the glibc.
