I am trying to get a Samba PDC and a Samba member server to work together. I can't. The documentation describes how to make a Samba PDC work. I got that working. My Win2k desktop can join just fine. The documentation describes how to make a Samba server be a member of an NT domain. It does not tell how to make Samba trust Samba. That's my problem. I have the PDC setup to

I can't get "security = domain" to work. Environment: Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 2.6 and 8 I have a Samba PDC setup. I can get my Win2k desktops to login and access the PDC just fine. I setup another Samba on our Unix print server that I wan't to use "security = domain". It seems to be running in "security = user" mode. I did the "smbpasswd -j mtlaurel

I am trying to run multiple instances of samba on the same unix host. This is being done so that I can functionally breakdown the usage into, for example, a "finance" server and an "engineering" server. This is not based upon the client or the user, but based upon the virtual server. My first attempts were a real problem in that, though the config file could be specified on

I recently added a printer to cups and the samba name is wrong. Anyone know how I can fix it?

I am trying to switch over to the new "style" of printing, but when I do, I loose the ability to print duplex. I have two servers. The old one (spike) is setup as a file server, etc. and the print services date back to the early 2.0 days. It is currently running 2.2.2 with the original printer setup. The printing works ok with this server. People can print using features of the

Hello All: I have a Samba server (running 3.0.11) that uses an LDAP SAM for authentication. We now have AD (native mode) running in house. Since everyone has a login there, I would like to use the AD credentials for authentication. However, I would like to continue to use the Unix user ids and group ids, etc. All the documentation for AD authentication talks about ID mapping, etc. I don't

List, I am encountering some really strange behaviour with Samba 3.0.20 and OpenLDAP 2.2.28. Everything in terms of PAM and NSS has been working correctly for a long time and have not been changed in months. This week it has started playing up, with NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE type errors. The local ldap server is replicated from a master. In syslog, I see things like Jun 16 16:06:14 s-sophia smbd:

Hello, I am running Samba 3.0.2 with Cups support. Recently I set this up on a new server, shut down the old Samba 2.* server, changed the name and brought up the new server as our new print server. Everyone automatically had all their drivers "upgraded", even when they previously had special local drivers installed. They did not need to delete and re-double-click the printer icon on

I think pam_smbpass it is not initializing all the parameters from smb.conf. This exhibits itself as "Cannot access samba password database" messages in the syslog. I ran my test code using "truss" and there are some interesting open() calls: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20247: open64("/secrets.tdb", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600)

I am trying to upgrade a samba installation from 2.2.7 to 3.0.9 and I have statements like: include = /etc/samba/special/%U This works fine with 2.2.7, but fails with 3.0.[4679]. When I first connect I see the user-specific shares defined in the config file. However, if I try to access it, I get an error: \\carp\sharename The network name cannot be found. If I browse into

Greetings, I have configured Samba 2.0.5a as the master domain controller in a Samba server / Win98 client configuration (no NT anywhere) and most everything works great. Users are authenticated and shares are browsable. I configured the [netlogon] share using the example from the Blair book. Right out of the block it worked like a champ. However, at some point the netlogon.bat stopped being

Relative newbie so would welcome comments re structure of a self-referential relationship I''ve got. It''s started off similar to the Person HABTM friends in the Rails recipes books (working fine), but I needed to turn the join table into a full-blown model as I wanted to add attributes to it. Few tricky bits dealing with the new :through structure and understanding how :scope

I have a basic question, being new to EXT3. What are the pros and cons of using an external journal? Also, for a Terabyte-sized system, what should I use as the external journal's size? is there a general rule-of-thumb to follow when choosing the external journal's size? I know these are very basic questions, if they have been already answered in some FAQ, please let me know. Any

I've read that certain operations performed on a matrix (e.g. ribind, cbind) are often much faster compared to operations performed on a data frame. Other then the "bind functions", what are the main operations that are significantly faster on a a matrix? I know that data frames allow for columnnames and rownames, and that each column in a data frame can have different data types.

R has very good GUI packages that I have used - R Commander RCmdr and Rattle rattle . Since I work on multiple packages with constraints of time, I almost always use the GUI rather go through the intricacies of command line . The log of these GUIs shows the relevant R command that was used, so you can actually learn the language also. I have written about the ease of learning R , if you begin
