I'm having a problem with Roaming profiles in Windows XP with Samba as PDC. I've googled and trolled the mailing lists and read the Samba documentation. Problem: User logs onto domain from WinXP client and profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a long time and lights on hub are lit up). However, unless that user is in the admin group locally, all/some of the profile

Having some issues with: samba_dnsupdate Specifically: /usr/bin/nsupdate: cannot specify -g or -o, program not linked with GSS API Library I've looked through the script, and cannot find these options called. If anyone can point me to where they're called I'd appreciate it. Cheers, TMS III

Hi, I was using Samba 3.0.9 on Fedora Core 2 and decided to upgrade to 3.0.10. So I upgrade to Core 3 and installed Samba 3.0.10 and thought I could just copy my settings over to the new build and everything would run smoothly. I thought wrong. Everything seems fine until I enable Obey Pam Restrictions. If enabled I get a login error from XP stating: " Windows cannot locate your

Hi people, I have Linux Red Hat 9 with Samba installed (samba, samba-client and samba-common 2.2.7a-7.9.0). All the Windows clients in my LAN have accessed the corresponding home directories in the Samba server, but since yesterday they can't access them. When the Windows clients try to access their Samba directories in my Red Hat server, they are prompted for a user and password, so they

Having some difficulties determining which way to go here. Have an Ubuntu 10.2 server running S4Alpha11. The samba stuff is working well enough (though with a bit too much idle CPU consumption--haven't go there yet). However, I can't get proper responses for file system and user/group lookup. With AD in Samba 3 nsswitch.conf was passwd: files winbind group: files

Hello, I have been using Fedora Core, Samba, and Active Directory to provide authentication services for Windows based users for a few years now, but as an experiment I wanted to accomplish the same service with SUSE 9.3 . I have been able to get this configuration to run successfully with RH9, FC1, FC2, FC3, and FC4 (buggy but works), but with SUSE I have stalled a bit. I feel I have

Hello, I am running a Samba server (3.0.7) on a Suse 9.2 box. I have connected this server successfully to a Windows 2000 Active Directory (mixed mode). I have nsswitch.conf, krb5.conf configured and winbind seems to be running properly for the most part. With wbinfo I can get all of my user and group information. Problem is, it seems that at random times, the samba server just stops

Apparently this didn't/doesn't build on FreeBSD by default...or is it "doesn't build at all". If it is buildable, what should I do to build it, as without it...see wiki: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind Cheers, TMS III

Just for sake of curiosity: Is that possible ? I'd like to support XP Pro *only* and to ban any other Windows OS (no 2000 server or 2003 server machines in here). Samba works in domain mode with Ldap backend. Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski perl -e '$_=q#: 13_2: 12/o{>: 8_4) (_4: 6/2^-2; 3;-2^\2: 5/7\_/\7: 12m m::#; y#:#\n#;s#(\D)(\d+)#$1x$2#ge;print'

OK, there has got to be a way to work with this thing other than wiping the Domain every time an error pops up. Trying to resolve problems I did a git upgrade and: setup# /usr/local/samba/sbin/upgradeprovision Which provided the unhelpful: Found 3 domain controllers, for the moment upgradeprovision is not able to handle upgrade on domain with more than one DC, please demote the other(s)

I'm running a small Linux server with samba installed on it I want to access this server from an XP client which is a member of a ad-domain but when trying to logon XP putts in ad-domain-name\username as logon name to the samba server, how can I work around this?

I'm about ready to smash my head through a wall...I could use a few answers. 1. When using security = ads, and completing net ads join, it was my understanding that samba authenticated username/pword against ads, and local posix accounts were nolonger needed, is this true? 2. If yes, I have not been able to get it to work. If I have a posix user account with the same name as one in

Hello again, I'm not attempting an install of Samba 3.0.4 from source. I want to specifically compile in ads and winbindd support. So, I already compiled and installed OpenLDAP 2.2.13. Now the configure script is hung on krb5 dependancy: checking for krb5.h... no configure: error: Active Directory cannot be supported without krb5.h So I downloaded and attempted compile of krb5 1.3.4, but

Just thought I'd say that samba4 is working quite nicely. Samba4 DC on Ubuntu server. Added a W2k3R2 and W2k8R2 server as DC's. Took a little bit of play to get it done, but not much. The only thing I've noticed so far (still in early lab stage) is a GC issue. Now if I can upgrade a Samba3-LDAP domain.... Cheers, TMS III

When an XP box is reading a file from the Samba server performance is what you would expect with 100 mbs ethernet. When uploading a large file (>1 meg) performance is very slow. 1/20th what I would expect. The Samba server log has these entries: posix_fcntl_lock: WARNING: lock request at offset 12226560, length 61440 returned [2004/12/24 17:28:52, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(658)

Hi all, I've been fighting with joining my samba server (debian) to my active directory domain for 4 days now. The problem here is that users in my active directory domain on windows machines are not able to browse my samba shares without being prompted for authentication. I can: - Join the domain from samba server using net ads - View list of tickets when brownsing window shares with

Hmmm...not quite sure where to go to fix this up.
