So I have a freebsd machine setup, and it has 2 nick's in it. One is a REAL IP, and pulls in internet, the other is a a nat'ed nick, with samba running on it for the machines behind the firewall. Anyone know what to toss into my smb.conf to not let my outside nick xmit smbd/nmbd ? No one can connect via that interface, but people/viruses/whatever are still trying. Thanks! C.

Hello -- Our existing Unix system has more than 500 users. The system currently uses OpenLDAP to authenticate users. We just added dozens of PCs running Windows to the network. We are going to set up the existing Unix server as a samba PDC server such that the users can log onto either their Unix account or Windows account. It seems a good idea to allow the users have the same password for

I'm working on upgrading a Samba server from Version 2.2.8a to Version 3.0.4. One of the things I've noticed is that the samba.schema has changed. I'll admit that I haven't done an exhaustive search yet, but in looking over the documentation I haven't seen any mention of anything that needs to be done to migrate an existing directory to the new schema. Are there any tools

I'm trying to locate the list of registry values to adjust how Win2K clients handle the user profile with the Win2K boxes joined to a Samba PDC and logging in with domain accounts. Specifically I would like to DISABLE roaming profiles!!! Many moons ago, the WarpServer Win2K client from IBM came with very good documentation on how to adjust that client to not create roaming profiles, etc...

Hello all. What are the implications of changing the domain name for a PDC? If I understand correctly, the SID is based on the domain name, so if the domain name (workgroup) setting in smb.conf is changed, will that mean that a new SID will be generated? If so, then I assume that all user/group SIDs will have to be updated. If the domain name is changed, can I just state that this is an

All - I am in the process of writing my own "add machine script" to use with Samba 3.0.20a and our OpenLDAP setup. For the most part it seems to work fine. If I run the script from the command line, I can see that the entry has been added to LDAP. If I then go to the Windows machine and tell it to join the domain, after giving it the Admin login and password it connects up with no

Hello all - I'm having a bit of a problem that I'm sure is being caused by my missing some trivial detail. But I haven't been able to find it, and I'm not even sure how I would construct the search to find relevant info in the archives. Here is the setup. I have Samba 3.0.20a running as a PDC against a LDAP back end. For the most part everything works fine. Users that are

Greetings- I have not found discussed / documented what to do with machine accounts when moving a Samba PDC to new hardware. I have seen that uid/gid numbers must match between the old/new system. I am thinking to use adduser to accomplish that, then make the numbers on the new server match, using a text editor. After that, can I simply enter the machine account entries by hand with a text

Greetings- I am wondering if anyone from the Samba team would happen to have interest in creating official builds for Ubuntu? To add a twist, unfortunately I would not be fishing for 7.10 packages, but rather 7.04 as we ran into too many issues with 7.10 whereas 7.04 seems rock solid stable. Or, are there packages built of Samba releases for Ubuntu external to samba.org? Thanks, -- Michael

man smb.conf does not specifically say admin users supports @groupname syntax. Google turns up lots of examples of it being used, but everyone hanging their smb.conf's up to air does not mean they are 100% accurate either. Here, Samba 3.0.4 in PDC mode, I can not get it to accept the name of a group in /etc/group, user ID's only. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper

I'm looking for help configuring Samba-3 to allow me to share out home directories from a UNIX host to Windows XP clients so that my Windows domain users can read and write to their home directories on the UNIX host. I've attempted to follow the examples in "Samba-3 by Example" to no success. I've also followed the tutorial: http://bob.rasey.net/archives/000137.html, which

Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's. I mount several shares with this sort of syntax: /bin/mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/userid/.smbcredentials,uid=userid,gid=userid,dmask=0777,fmask=0666 //ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/ However when I create new files/dirs on the Samba share from the Linux workstation, the perms are not 0666/0777

I found the solution, or at least a work around, for my posting: "Can not grant SeMachineAccountPrivilege on Debian Etch" I ended up: 1) ssh to Debian Etch as root 2) smbpasswd -a root 3) issue the "net rpc rights grant ..." command SUCCESS!!! So, that raises the question that what MUST be executed as user root verses a member of ntgroup="Domain Admins"? I suspect

My original thread had the incorrect subject line. The original trouble / question remains open and unsolved. Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's.

I'd like a bit of a Sanity Check to make sure I understand the process. We are setting up filesharing on a Linux server via Samba (3.0.2). We would like to give the users personal space (home directories), but we don't want to add them as Linux users (no entries in /etc/passwd). The users are defined in an LDAP directory. If I understand it correctly, in order to do this we will need

Hello all I'm trying once again to get a Samba server set up on a Slackware Linux system for a small office (much less than 100 users). There will be multiple domains on this system (say foo.com, bar.com, ...) with the users scattered between these domains. We want to use LDAP to authenticate the users and provide authorization info. There are no Windows domain controllers available. All

Recent list messages got me thinking... Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain? As I understand it, the "magic" line that tells Samba not to do roaming profiles is the smb.conf line: logon path = Which the line must exist, and must be set to null. But that is in the global section. So is there a way to support both local and roaming...

We have bumped into a most odd problem. Server: Debian Etch and their Samba 3.0.24-2 Client: WinXP SP2, MSI v3, all hot fixes The following settings are in place on the server: #!/bin/bash # # initGrps.sh # Map Windows Domain Groups to UNIX groups net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin rid=512 type=d net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users"

I am testing out Debian Etch, and ran into an issue granting SeMachineAccountPrivilege to an account... which granting that permission had been troublesome in the past. The command I am issuing is: net rpc rights grant LDS-DEMO\\ldsinst SeMachineAccountPrivilege And I try running the command with an account that is a member of the "Domain Admins" group. The command returns: Failed to
