Hello, I am new to Linux, Samba, and actually servers in general. I am attempting to set up a Linux file server and join it to a Windows 2000 domain. All I want to be able to do is get files from the linux file server and put files on it. I do not want it to be the domain controller. I join the domain using: net join -S 10.10.10.40 -UAdministrator%password It tells me that I have joined

Hello, I have random errors that I can not analyze nor fix: when several users connect to the same Samba share, they get sometimes error messages "the local drive name is already in use. This connection has not been restored", although the connection is still usable afterwards. This sometimes breaks a file operation. Clients are running Windows 2000, and the server is a Solaris 8

Attempting to get Winbind to authenticate against a Windows 2000 Domain, I am having one odd issue. Running: wbinfo -t returns a successful secret wbinfo -g returns the builtin groups wbinfo -u returns "Error looking up domain users" None of the documentation I've found points to anything where only -g or -u fails--its always both. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance -Matt

Hi everyone, I'm about to install a Samba PDC in a network that previously was working as a workgroup. All the users have been logging into their local machines as "administrator" and all with the same password.

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

I have Samba version 3.0.2a-3mdk with an LDAP backend. Works great but I can't seem to get user manager for domains to work with it. I'm thinking that perhaps it might be a samba bug that has probably since been corrected. Can anyone validate this idea?

Hi all, I am running samba 3.0.6 on Linux and am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to delete a print driver from the driver database? I have around 20 printers running off of this print server and occasionally we remove all of a certain type of printer. Also, for some reason, the drivers sometimes seem to become corrupt and it would be nice to be able to entirely remove a driver and

I have a couple of Windows 2000 boxes that only accept logons from users who have logged onto the system before. For new users the logon appears to succeed, proceeds to "Loading your personal settings" and then the following error appears - Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be loaded. Contact your network administrator. DETAIL - The system cannot find the file

Hi, is it possible to create the user profiles by copying a template, change file ownership and modify the SID in NTUSER.DAT using the profile tool? We have many problems with broken profiles. This has become time consuming and frustrating - when a user experiences an error or weird behaviour of an application I can never be sure wether the cause is a "wrong user error", a broken
